Lexicon : Alex Kerner

Lexicon (Alex Kerner) was immediately engrossed when he came upon the Toronto psytrance scene in 1999. He quickly developed an appreciation for the techy and progressive sounds of the genre. After 7 years of partying and collecting music, Alex decided to take up DJing and quickly became addicted to pumping the dance floors with solid tunes. After joining Shakti, he has helped the collective bring artists like Atmos, Ticon, Fitalic, Vibrasphere, and LaBaaz. Recently he has grown fonder of more techno and minimal sounds, playing sets that mix in those styles with electro and progressive tunage. After a year moving dance floors in Taiwan, Lexicon is back to shake some Canadian hips and legs.

Rook : Rick Yazwinski

Rook, aka Rick, has been a fan of Psytrance since first hearing it in the late 90’s. Listening to everything he could find, he formulated a musical preference that spans the psytrance realm. He only started spinning in 2004, but his musical background and mathematical mind made him a natural. Spinning around the Greater Toronto Area (GTA), Rook can be seen and heard delivering a variety of Psy, from Full-On in the main room to less thumping, but still mind-bending down-tempo in the chill space.
