Perfect Stranger (Iboga, Israel)
Perfect Stranger is Yuli Fershtat, born 1970 also well known under the guise of BLT.
Around mid 2004, after having a long and fruitful collaboration with the successful
Danish progressive export, Iboga records, the decision was made to start a new
progressive project under Iboga's guidance and promotion. The project "Perfect Stranger"
presents a progressive dance music approach, highly psychedelic, tribal, atmospheric and
challenging.
Whether playing live or as a DJ his sets are of a very hypnotic nature, and when caught
at the beginning you won't leave the dance floor.

Talpa (Up-Records / MMR, Serbia)
Goran Juric was born in 1982 in Subotica, Serbia and at the age of 4, was already showing
a keen interest in music, pestering his parents to learn the piano.
Talpa’s style varies from track to track, it’s melodic and funky, wrapped in a
psychedelic carnival covering. His style is unique with, you always know when you’re
hearing a Talpa composition yet you can be assured each of his tracks tells a different
story.
After a full 3 years, his new album, “When the Somberness Becomes a Game” is awaiting
release by Sundance Records this spring and he also has several tracks ready to be
released on compilations by such Aussie labels as UP Records, MMR, and Adapted records,
with a third album to be released by UP & MMR in 2009.

been releasing his own special blend of dub laden, minimal electronics since 2000, for
labels such as Cynosure, Scape, and Wagon Repair to name but a few. His work has been met
with consistent critical acclaim from the industry's leading publications and websites,
and drawn regular performance invitations for some of the world's most respected
festivals, including Barcelona's Sonar, Berlin's Transmediale, and Montreal's own Mutek.

10-12 piece band, including a horn section, African dancers and Melbourne vocalist Vida

by far one of the toughest and most exciting presentations of authentic, raw roots reggae

OKA (Soultree United)
Deeply rooted in their laid back coastal lifestyle, their unique world class sound has
earned Australian group OKA a reputation as a ‘ stand out ’ live act. With their
energetic and musically diverse performances, their huge underground following has been
attributed to their fusion of eclectic world sounds: roots, dub, reggae, jazz and organic
electronica.
With numerous critically acclaimed performances, like the 2007 Montreal Jazz festival
(Canada), the last three years at Woodford Folk festival and the Dreaming Festival
(Australia), their "must see" live shows reveal their epic sound, and are winning them
audiences all around the globe.
