:: RÚN ::
Music is part of my soul. My first gig was back in 2008 in the Czech Republic. I played with songs for a while, but my passion switched to singing, guitar playing, and acting. I started DJ’ing again in 2019 in Vancouver, and my journey of exploration of electronic music began. I am a tireless fighter for perfect art, enjoying an imperfect process. I wander and explore the magic of music, from downtempo to psytrance, from acoustic to electronic music. My music will take you on a worldwide journey through a blend of styles, touching on ethnic, classical, and folk sounds, and supported by catchy rhythms and deep bass drums! I am also an ecstatic dance DJ, and have a tight cooperation with Paxkan. Together we are doing ecstatic dance journeys at music festivals and well-being events. Additionally, I am the founder of Bohemian’s minds, an online platform for artists – Catch your muse!

:: RAGHUNATH KHE ::
Raghunath Khe has been an intrinsic part of the evolving conscious dance culture for more than 25 years. An innovative composer, producer, and dj, they are interested in the transformational properties of music, movement, bhajan, and community. They have previously released four albums - earlier ones under the moniker Haitchc, have composed multiple original film scores, and are currently working on material for their fifth full-length release. Raghunath is a formal brahmana initiate within the brahma-madhva-gaudiya sampradaya (lineage), having spent several uninterrupted years as a monk studying and serving in temples both in Canada and India. They belong to the sodalities of bhakti, tantra, and ashtanga, and through familial succession, draoidh healing practice. Regularly performing, teaching, and orchestrating events, they are affiliated with Full Moon Medicine, Back Beyond, Waxing Moon, and Intention Gathering, and are a co-resident dj and organizer at Vancouver's long-running Just Dance night. In addition, Raghunath contributes musically and otherwise to various festivals and gatherings locally and internationally. A long-time radio presence, they are currently the host and producer of Mantra Radio on CiTR 101.9fm in Vancouver.

:: VJ KASHUB ::
Kashub's name stems from the tribe of his ancestry situated along what is now the Baltic Coast of Poland. The tribe, now dispersed and displaced, lived peacefully isolated amidst sand dunes and swamps along the Baltic since before the dawn of the State of the Teutonic Order some 800 years ago. VJ Kashub brings powerful visual projections to induce a spiritual scene so as to reacquaint long lost souls of his ancestry onto our dance floor.
