Biography

==== PSYrUS ==== Growing up in a small town close to Port Elizabeth, PSYrUS realized that music was a passion. Playing his parents record collection at a tender age and purchasing further records to feed the thirst for new music. Further down the line came the tape deck and the discovery of the electronic music genre, that his addiction was born! After discovering the EDM scene, PSYrUS quickly purchased standard CD players and a mixer started to DJ at house parties. The standard CD players weren’t doing the trick so he sold them and upgraded to pitch controlled CD players for the first taste of beat matching. PSYrUS then progressed his love for EDM music until he found his passion in subgenres of EDM namely Hard Style / Hard Trance and Trance, which was the formula to his style. Specially importing CD’s with this style to be at the forefront of this genre, PSYrUS then began to produce “infused songs” to create unique yet familiar songs, a style PSYrUS continues with today. PSYrUS got residency in two popular clubs in his small town and tried to grow the EDM genre in those spots. PSYrUS moved up to JHB in 2005 and after being exposed to the Progressive PsyTrance Genre in 2012, PSYrUS immediately knew this was the next stage of his style as it integrated all the elements of the genres he loves. 2013 looks to be a busy year for PSYrUS as he began his first residency at SA longest running Night Club, ESP and is looking at exploring production of this genre further down the line. PSYrUS will be sharing the stage with Worlds No.1 Progressive PsyTrance DJ/ Producer NEELIX in March 2013 and Progressive PsyTrance legends Fabio & Moon in April 2013 =====================================================
