The result was one of the most up-to date progressive trance record the scene had to offer! Now, Andromeda has already released 3 cd’s (2 albums and 1 cd with remixes). Nick changed his style somewhere in 2005. His sound became more less trancy, more electric, more housy and more groovy. That brought him to the decision to put an end in his carrier under the name Andromeda and to continue with his solo project, Arara.

GOLDIELOCKS (NL)

Hello partypeople, my name is Bas Francois, 34 years old from Amsterdam and addicted to psytrance for over 6 years now. Before my addiction was Rugby which I played for 15 years on the highest level.

 Really didn’t like electronic music at all… A lot of my (rugby)friends told me lets go to a raveparty. I said no,

 I don’t like it…Lets just drink a beer in our favourite bar and listen to some good ‘Rolling stones’ or ‘the doors’ or so I said...ha..!

 But then lightning struck me… I met my future-wife Magalie! She took me to my first (outdoor) Goa-party…and immediately fell in love with this music, the people, the art, the love, etc….It was really a homecoming. So after that I quit playing Rugby because you just cant combine playing Rugby on a Sunday and dance your ass of every weekend..ha..;)!

 
After 4 years dancing I wanted to try playing myself… Bought meself some cdj’s. And before I knew it played me first set on this festival Earthdance… 2 years ago now. After that I Played on several other party’s and also organised a couple…. Then because of our beautiful son Danique being born I laid low a little time… But now I’m back to kick ass and make you dance again.

Myself, I like to dance on a lot of styles within the Psytrance world, but the music I play is a mix of minimal and proggy psychedelic but with a nice uplifting kick which I like to call P.U.P.P (powerful uplifting pumping progressive). Hope you enjoy it. Love, Light & Laughs ;-)!!!
