ARTISTS INFORMATIONS
KAYA PROJECT (DJ set)
Kaya Project is a tribal fusion of World Music & Electronica primarily built upon
Location recordings from exotic locations around the planet. The Project is the
musical brainchild of Seb Taylor. Based in the UK, the act has achieved a name of
world renown via the first three albums ‘walking through‘ (2004), ‘elixir‘ (2005) and
‘…& so it goes‘ (2008) – all released on interchill. their 4th. album, ‘desert phase‘,
was released in the spring of 2010 followed by a CD of electronic remixes. Previous
kaya project tracks have been heard on tv shows such as showtime’s ’sleeper cell’,
& numerous compilations including claude challe’s renowned ‘buddha bar’ series.
angel tears tracks (another of seb’s many projects) have been heard on shows
such as hbo’s sex & the city, the west wing & many others. The Fifth Kaya Project
album 'FIREDANCE' was released in May 2014.
HIBERNATION (Live)
Hibernation is Seb Taylors outlet for Glitchy experimental chilled Electronica.
The first Hibernation album, Some Things Never Change, was released on
respected label Aleph Zero in 2008.
At this point Seb had released a number of Kaya Project albums to great acclaim
and gained a loyal following among downtempo aficionados. With many different
projects to his name Seb likes to keep them stylistically distinct and Hibernation is
devoted to a more electronic realm than Kaya Project, which features live
instrumentation from around the world. Hibernation, as the name suggests, heads
inwards and locks onto micro edits, quirky samples, glitches and hyper-fine details.
Second Nature is the newest album and was released on Interchill Records in
2012.
On this album, Natasha Chamberlain contributes some dreamy vocal flourishes to a
number of tunes and Seb also turned to the capable Riad Abji and Vicky Flint for
stand up bass and muted trumpet in the signature tune Uncarved Block. With a
distinct sonic palette that includes stand up bass, muted trumpet, brush drums,
glitches, whomps and warm subs the Hibernation sound is crucial listening. Seb
brings a lifetime of musical experience to his production, composition and
arrangements, and it shows. Listening to Second Nature conjures up future
memories of dark smoky jazz clubs, Bladerunner cityscapes, parallel universes,
dreams half forgotten and epic nights. This is music with spirit, narrative and
detail.

The Bitzpan
The Bitzpan' is a Downtempo / Electronica music project from Athens, Greece. The artists behind the
name are Panos Nikolaou and Yannis Bitzanis. They use a mixed technique of Digital - Analog equipment to
create their own personal sound of various soundscapes, atmospheres and downtempo musical designs.
Overlapping downtempo gender offers the audience a wide musical odyssey ,from chilled to ecstatic grooves.
It's a deeper plunge into the raw analog sound synthesis, an exploration of instruments and technics dialoguing
harmonically with each other, an understanding of the physics of sound and a try to blend it. The Bitzpan duo combines
several times classic psychedelic and techno elements with mid tempo grooves, analog drums, rhythmic basses, trippy
modular melodies and organic instrument layers. The journey into electronic music production began back in 2002 and
never stopped ever since. Their official discography started in 2014 on labels such as
Sofa Beats (Iboga Records), Iono Music, Iono Lounge, and many more!
