FKP Scorpio and Fauna – The Psychedelic Experience of Gothenburg presents:
Islandman(Live) – Turkey / Istanbul
Islandman, a music trio in this realm but a fictional character in reality , is a musical identity, a visionary who inspired by an island which does not exist, could not dream the roads they passed by would lead to such interesting and beautiful places…
Islandman’s journeys took them to best band award at Montreux Jazz Festival, to a Kecak dance in Bali, stories in streets of Paris, ancient sounds of women in Bulgaria’s mountains. Aşık Veysel in Anatolia, Worldwide FM in London, Tuareg’s hypnotic music in Mali desserts, being a guest in Elton John’s radio show, an amazing musical trip to Boiler Room series, studio sessions with Bongo Ent. in Denmark, softest women vocals in South America and much much more experience which they do not want to prolong by writing.
Islandman managed to become an alternative existence and form a family with extraordinary members from many places around the world. Sharp mind of Tolga Böyük in production and deep stories in music, Erdem Başer’s psychedelic guitar riffs which takes listeners to alternative worlds, Eralp Güven’s 4-beat-diversified rhythms, turn Islandman’s performance into a musical clinic, a shamanic ritual with collected sounds from the paths that they walk . They take listeners to a deep musical journey with sincerity.
Just like all healers, shamans and spirits who are self-aware, Islandman covers a whole different ground to their listeners in concerts, opens the door to alternative existences… Passing through this door and meeting with Islandman on the other side is exclusive to one’s own intention and dream…
Fontän(Live) – Sweden / Gbg
Fontän is a neo psychedelic band and a non-conventional cross over act. Mind altering, lengthy numbers is a live trademark which they’ve been practicing to perfection during the last decade.
Jesper Jarold and Johan Melin has since the dawn of the millennia, balanced on the thin line between different genre conventions, fine-tuned to hit just the right note and finding the perfect combination of soundscape and groove.
With additional live musician Anders Kjellberg, the compositions transform into more improvisational based and dance oriented versions than on the records, with tracks stretching beyond ten minutes, turning any traditional live venue into a dance club.
Years ahead of their time, or maybe just moving beside or outside of time, Fontän never follow artistical trends. They create their own musical universe in which they dwell peacefully and happy, creating music to get lost in.
Fauna(Live) – Sweden / Gbg
Fauna conveys an organic, psychedelic & dance friendly experience. The music is a meditative ritual where the listeners find themselves encased in rhythms. You will be dragged along through thorns and bushes by a forceful, volcanic pulse. Time and space lose all meaning in a mind warping journey through the woods.
Beniwasta(Dj set) – Sweden / Sthlm
Denise Beniwa Johnson, a.k.a. Beniwasta, is a Stockholm-based DJ who brings the heat every – goddamn – time. From deep and dark to funky tech and soulful disco, you can expect an electrifying experience with every beat. She’s opened for the likes of Kerri Chandler and DJ Koze, graced the Boiler Room stage, and is a big part of the EMBASSY collective which uplifts black creatives and DJs.
Johanna Beckman(Dj set) – Sweden / Sthlm
Johanna has been an important DJ in Sweden for the last 20 years, moving between genres of electronic music but always keeping it groovy and Heavy bass. She is a true lover of the 303 Synthesizer.
Johanna’s roots extend back to her management and booking work and her organisation of the legendary Gagnef festival in Dalarna, which she regards as her training ground. Her current works, except for being a part of a collaborative team at FKP Scorpio, includes the Rosendal Garden Party, a unique festival on Djurgården featuring top artists, and the innovative club concept kind.people.club both focused on creating inclusive and enjoyable spaces for all ages.
Johanna’s artistry extends beyond her role as a promoter and DJ: she’s also known for hosting the music radio program ’Kalejdoskop’ on Sveriges Radio further embodies her dedication for curating, promoting and creating memorable musical experiences, making her an influental figure in the music scene.
