About the artists:
Rodan: With nearly 15 years of experience DJing, New Paltz native Rodan paved the way for the local electronic music scene with the legendary 'Watchtower Wobble' bass music event series in the late 2000s, where he invited international artists to share both their music and culture through various forms of underground bass music: Dubstep, Footwork, Juke.
Rodan’s current interests are still in underground electronic dance music, with psytrance being his primary interest. As part of the Mindchurch Inner Sanctum, Rodan can be found locally hosting events centered around, and heavily promoting the artists and labels associated with the Mindchurch psytrance event series.
DJ Shaman Vybez
NY Based Dj/Producer/Photographer. In the game for the love of music. Shaman Vybez’s influences stem from growing up in Spanish Harlem in the 70s as a kid with a window facing a city playground. It was that window that exposed him to the sounds of Disco and early Hip-Hop. His love for tribal and Latin/AfroBeats were the late night congas that were heard for blocks.
Shaman made his place in the Hudson Valley where he has resided for the past 17yrs. It all started with an invitation from a friend & colleague Wavy Dave (WDST) to play on the radio on 91.3fm filling in for Bill Skillz on the “Diggin’ in The Crates” weekly radio show. Old School Hip-Hop, Funk,RnB and Soul were on the musical menu. After that first show he became a regular returning 1-2 times a month. Soon after he began making appearances at different venues, primarily catering to the college crowd, bringing the Rave/EDM music they knew but giving them his twist on it with Reggae, Miami Bass, Old school, House,Tropical Bass and Moombahton.
His sets are a mix of some of his earlier influences with a few surprises. A vibrational blend of Latin, AfroBeats,House and Funk that will keep you dancing all night.
