Originally
conceived as the legendary ETNICA GROUP (genre-defining party
collective whose spheres of impact include Bali, Brasil, Goa (India),
Thailand, Milan and Ibiza) in the late 1980's/early 1990's, ETNICANET
eventually became a globally acclaimed record label. Following over a
decade's experience in the world of Electronica through musical
production, concerts, international festivals and prestigious club
events worldwide, the necessity of creating our own 'sound' via the
presentation and promotion of new artists became
evident.Established on Millennium Eve in the Balearic Island
of Ibiza, ETNICANET RECORDS specialises in electronic music,
integrating much acoustic production through collaborations with
artists of diverse musical ethnicities. This implies the introduction
and exposure of emerging talent worldwide, accompanied by established
international names and musicians of various backgrounds.Our
focus is on a maximised amalgamation of the Audio-Visual experience.
Along with the releases, we are also an international festival
organisation with a successful history of on-going events around the
world. Etnicanet members have played essential roles, throughout
their experience (which spans almost 20 years), in the consolidation
of today’s worldwide trance music and festival capitals such as
Goa, Bali, Ibiza, Brasil (Etnicanet’s CELEBRA BRASIL Festival was
the first of such calibre, success, and international appeal in Latin
America at the time), Thailand, South Africa (Southafrica 2000
Millennium Festival and Southafrica 2002 Total Solar Eclipse Festival
by Etnicanet, Vortex, and Alien Safari were the catalysts that made
South Africa one of today’s strongest party zones) Greece
(Samothraki Dance Festival and Sola Luna), etc, and are still today
travelling the world, initiating new scenes at the four courners of
the globe.Label manager DJ YOUNG KIM (aka ARKANOYDZ)’s role
proved instrumental in bringing the Etnicanet sound to the farthest
reaches of the planet, including Korea, Dubai (United Arab Emirates),
virtually every region of today’s hottest party & festival
zone: Brasil, Chile, all over Europe, Turkey, South Africa, and much
more. ETNICA (aka PLEIADIANS)are always present at the world’s most
prestigious events with their invincible musical prowess and unique
on-stage charisma, causing total chaos on every dancefloor they
perform for.Aligned with the constant advancement of music
technologies and the progression of musical tendencies in the world
of Electronica, ETNICANET aims to enchant and entertain by raising
the standard through the production of high-quality releases that
encapsulate the incessant, multi-faceted evolution of music in its
quality and complexity.Back in the late 80's during the Acid
House days, the 'Dance All Night' events in Milan and Ibiza were
gaining press reviews and appreciation world wide. The success
powered by positive feedback motivated us to persevere and unite a
group of active members around the globe who were already throwing
parties on the shores of Goa (India), Chile, Venezuela, and Ibiza
(only to name a few) and were successfully devising the Global
Electronic Entertainment Machine that is ETNICANET.International
festivals came as the next step in a natural evolution of our
international collective . . .On Millennium Eve, ETNICANET
was conceived not only as a record label, but also as an
international events organization operating in the world's hottest
festival zones as well as initiating new scenes to the rest of the
world. Merging the artistic and logistical talent of its crew
members, Etnicanet has an ongoing global reputation for creating
festival situations that continuously raise the standard in the world
of Electronica.A celebratory continuum for the mesmerizing
amalgamation of all sensory stimuli -particulary focusing on the
audio-visual experience- the Etnicanet Technisensor Event is composed
by the cream of international musicians as well as top-class visual
artists such as EL GEKO (PSYNEMA / General Cosmics - Austria) and
AVIKAL (Protoart.co.uk - Italy/UK). El Geko is ever-present with the
live-video and 3d-graphic artistry that accompanies the festival
music, while Avikal creates ethereal and mind-boggling atmospherics
with geometric string and laserwork as well as his notorious art
installations.Musically, all festivals showcase the global
pool of musicians whose talent has given character, quality, and
success to all our releases, with a special focus on promoting up and
coming artists by exposing them to a uniquely appreciative and
demanding International dance-floor.A few friends and artists
who have contributed their musical talent to our events: Dino Psaras
(CYDONIA / TORTURED BRAIN - UK), Simon Posford (HALLUCINOGEN /
SHPONGLE - UK), Dado (DEEDRAH / SYNTHETIC - FR), GROWLING MAD
SCIENTISTS (Growling Machines /1200 Mics / Spun Rec - NL), Serge
Souque (TOTAL ECLIPSE / THE ANTIDOTE - FR), Antaro (Spirit Zone Rec /
Voov Experience - GER), Miko (California Sunshine - ISR), EMOK (Iboga
Rec - SWE), Chika & Akira (Solstice Rec - JPN), Wrecked Machines
(Spun Rec / Etnicanet Rec - BRA), Bamboo Forest (MP Rec / Moon
Spirits Rec - FR), Alien Project (Tip.World - ISR), Species
(Etnicanet Rec - YU), Rinkadink (Alchemy Rec - SA), and many, many
more...Fully initiating such explosive, sexy and rhythmic
crowds to the trance and electronica taste was only a matter of time:
Max persevered and kept contributing, in the early 90s, to the
formation of what has now become perhaps the hottest trance-party
nation in the world.
