Mythril...

Mythril, a multi-insrtumentalist and visionary artist form Vancouver BC, who has been mixing and making music for over 2 decades, is known for his inspirational musical vision throughout the Pacific Northwest. Performing at many underground gatherings and international festivals, he has brought cutting edge music to dancefloors across North America. From high-powered launches to graceful landings - progresive psy, downtempo, breaks and dub flavour his musical journeys. Some of his favorite producers have shared the stage with him such as Protoculture, Jaia, Antix, Pixel, Koxbox, Deedrah, Shadow FX, Human Blue, Solar Fields, Ott - and many more from international and local rosters as well as art showings at Sunrise, Shambhala and Entheos Festivals including Shpongle's Seattle performance.

Mythril is known for his deep morning sets with uplifting melodic messages and thumping, groovy basslines, graceful launches and gentle landings. His versatility ranges from full-on and progressive psychedelic trance (saiko, not psycho), to breakbeats, asian remix, psy dub and mid-downtempo that you can dance to.

Mithril is the mythical elvish alloy - impervious, light to wield, and majikal. It was made into enchanted armour and weapons by the elves of Middle Earth when they forged friendship with the dwarves of the mountains.

SinisteR

SinisteR, Aka Steve has been playing since the late 90's. Quickly becoming a member of the Solstice crew who helped plant the seeds of the Vancouver trance scene. SinisteR became the lone member of Solstice left in Vancouver. Upon the return of the rest of the crew to Japan, they quickly became a Japanese power house, starting up Solstice Records label which features artists such as Wrecked Machines, Tristan, Orion, 1200 Micrograms, Alien Project and Etnica to name a few. They also do the Japanese distribution for Twisted Records, Hallucinogen's label of fame. And on top of that the many parties they do. SinisteR always plays a powerful set, and having a countless stream of promo music from Solstice in Japan provides a fresh set of unreleased and upcoming monsters.

Solstice Music is the official distribution and label for Sphongle in Japan.
