Artist Spotlight: the Dog of Tears - Xexify Records

the Dog of Tears is David Chaim Cohen, also known as A.C. Lyon, D.C. Offset, and President of Xexify.

tDoT was born in 2004, though DCC has been making electronic music since 1998 when he first procured a 4-track cassette recorder and a Sequential Circuits Pro One synthesizer.  Around the time the tDoT project was formed, DCC also started developing a deep interest in psychedelic trance.  He did not want to be confined to the creative boundaries inherent in any dance-music idiom, so he invented Rusted Trance.  Rusted Trance is an experimental sub-genre of trance punctuated with variated, IDM like rhythms and mid-range harmonotastic clouds of timbral emulsification, not to mention the growling bass vowelizations of an ancient and forgotten alien race that formed the primordial ooze for baboon-kind.

tDoT is part of Xexify, which is really just an evil umbrella corporation responsible for the economic decay of the Loyal Order of Sea Lions.  Xexify has been involved in many temporary autonomous memories, namely every California Goa Gil party since 2008.  tDoT and A.C. Lyon were featured on Goa Gil’s Divine Dozen lists for 1.5 decades.

Formless- true strength is flexibility, adaptability and fluidity, to be sovereign and unbound, able to shapeshift, to be present in this ever fluid eternal moment Now.

Trance music is able to help us access and enter into the true realm of nature and spirit.

I breathe, I feel, I dream, I speak, I act, I am.

All my relations, all creation, I honor.

Artist Spotlight: Oneiros Project - Starseed Psytrance

“In stories of Greek Mythology, The Oneiroi were primordial deities, children of Nyx (night), and had numerous siblings, including Hypnos (sleep), and Thanatos. (death). They were the personifications of dreams, coming from the caverns of Erebos, the land of eternal darkness beyond the rising sun, the Oneroi pass through one of two gates. The first of these, made of horn, is the source of prophetic god-sent dreams, while the other, constructed of ivory, is the source of dreams which are false and without meaning. According to some, the leader of the Oneiroi is Morpheus, a god who appears in the dreams of kings in the guise of a man bearing messages from the gods.”

The symbiotic relationship between sleep and waking states is often understated in modern society. When cultivating a connection with dream realms, we can unlock keys and messages from past, present and future. Oneiros Project plays with the concept of the blurred line between dreams and reality. Visions and experiences beyond common explanation are used to fuel creativity.

Always passionate about music, playing piano and collecting many styles of sound, it was in his mid teens that Lyle Rhodes first discovered electronic music gatherings. After many parties and many hours on the dance floor and as a DJ, he has now dedicated himself to electronic music production.
Currently producing music with Starseed Psytrance and his label Water Family Records, and djing hi-bpm experimental with Metacortex Records.

Artist Spotlight: Feelionics - Blooming Mind Records

American forest producer based out of Los Angeles, CA, Feelionics is the main project of Riley Legaspi. A long time raver, slightly seasoned DJ, and now a complete slave to the world of music production, Feelionics has gone darker, faster, and more chaotic over the years.
A firm believer of nighttime music not being bound by BPM, Feelionics focuses on using forest, dark psy, and hitech as a mediums to express himself, taking elements of the three niche genres, past trauma, his friends, family, and his pussycats (they're actually dogs) as inspiration to paint the ever-changing landscape that is life on Earth.
So far, he thinks this route of essentially making dark nursery rhymes played in reverse as a proper route towards true musical expression. Then again, you can be the judge of that. He looks forward to building his audience, and with it, a steady flow of people that just simply love going crazies to music with him.

Artist Spotlight: car0 - Sonic Dream

From her earliest steps, car0 has been guided by the primal force of rhythm. Her lifelong journey in music and dance began instinctively, evolving into a path of self-discovery and expression. After mastering dance techniques and performing professionally, her true awakening occurred in the underground rave scene, where she discovered a deep love for psychedelic dance music—igniting a passion that would shape her future.

More than just a collector of sounds, car0 is a conjurer, weaving sonic vibrations that dissolve time. Her DJ sets are ceremonies, each track chosen to awaken the primal and elevate the spirit. With her twin brother, a magnetic percussionist who passed in 2010, as her constant inspiration, she has graced stages across the USA, including playing for the Chiluminati crew at festivals like Sacred Earth, and curating Thumpin Thursdays, a transformative weekly event.

Trained in piano and French horn, car0 channels music through her 88-key synth and Maschine, crafting compositions that are both majestic and mystical. Her sound is ever-evolving—dark, deep, growly, raw, and progressive—an echo of the ancient and a beacon of the new.

Since 2008, car0’s DJ journey has been one of continuous transformation. Now, she travels from Phoenix, AZ, to join the Sonic Dream Team for her second time playing in Southern California. Under the canopy of the coast, she will summon a dance floor experience like no other—a place where beats stir the essence of love and authenticity within.
