Listening, dancing and producing psytrance are all big passions of Ryan's; and in his own words "i love the way it makes your mind think on another level to all other music. When i listen to good psytrance, i think of the bigger picture. I think of life's mysteries and how humans are so smart at bending sonic vibrations to bring out people's emotions! It takes me places, and gets my blood rushing..." Ryan is yet to break into the psytrance scene as an artist, and has been waiting for the right opportunity to make his debut. "My style is dark, but not the flat, un-rhythmic, uninspired dark stuff i tend to hear to often at doofs. I use alot of my imagination and try to use concepts and themes to create a message or at least a sense of meaning to my tracks.I take a long time to complete a track as i treat every one as work of art. I hope the quality and diversity in my work is evident." - Ryan Findlay aka Kloak

http://www.myspace.com/suninaquarius
Sun in Aquarius is one of the various projects of Jake Rose, originally from Lakes Entrance (coastal Victoria) and now residing in beautiful byron bay studying Sound Engineering. At the age of 21, Jake has already developed a unique and intriguing sound which is sure to quickly set his place in the Australian music scene. Jake studied at SAE where he made an instant musical connection with Trevor Stefunk aka Little T, an extremely talented engineer,guitar and bass player from Canada. The two collaborate on a number of tracks, with Trevor providing a deep original instrumental element to the music (for previews of Trevor visit THSAUDIO.COM). Jakes influences range from heavy metal earlier in life through to hip hop, trance and just about everything in-between. Sun in Aquarius sees Jake experiment with some more down tempo beats, starting off with ambient atmospheric textures slowly working up to a mellow progressive sound,also to a deeper progressive which constantly winds back to ambient soundscapes....his songs often draw inspiration from ambient/hip hop/psychedelic roots which provides an aural delight! Jake always likes to keep things moving and changing,so each track can end completely different to what it started out as. Sun In Aquarius's goal is to write a vast array of genres but always having his deep ambient atmospherics lingering never too far away
