RELEASE NOTES
UTOPIA is the first full-length album from San Francisco based Lokesh. It’s a concept
album with heavy Ethnic, Rock and Electronica influences. As a follow-up to the
successful Soul Rush EP by Lokesh, Utopia blurs the line between various electronic music
genres, especially Trance, Drum-N-Bass, Dubstep, Progressive House and Indian/World
Electronica. And its message is loud and clear - Music is the new universal language
that’s always evolving. Lokesh aka Tranzatma, born in New Delhi, currently lives, DJs
and produces music in San Francisco, California. His genre defying music includes
Indian/World Fusion, Ethnic Electronica, Progressive Trance, Psytrance, Dubstep and
Drum-N-Bass. His music transcends geographical or cultural boundaries, and mixing eastern
and western sounds seamlessly comes naturally to him. His compositions tell a story which
is both mysterious and in-your-face. Lokesh signed up with Geomagnetic in 2008, the
futuristic Trance label out of San Francisco. He released his first EP 'Soul Rush' in
Jan'09 and UTOPIA is his first full-length concept album with them. He is also part of
two more Bay Area collectives - Vishnu Operative and Ultraviolet Carnival. He has
performed all over the Bay area including the legendary 1015 Folsom, Supperclub, at
Burning Man Festival, Kellys, Shine etc. He has shared the stage with international
artists like Karsh Kale, Chebi Sabah, Doctor Spook, Tall Sasha, Micropixie etc. His
tracks and sets have been featured on BBC Asia Network, World Fusion Radio and
IndianElectronica.com.
