Boom Shankar

Boom Shankar Biography

German based Boom Shankar is a Dj for Psychedelic Trance, the label manager of BMSS Records and an event promoter within Europe. Having been initiated into the Goa Trance scene in the early Nineties and by traveling the globe ever since, his sets are a mirror of the constant melting pot of fundamental Psytrance characteristics.

Whether he is guiding the dance floor through the night or into the morning, the outcome is always a voyage filled with a depth and an energy that allows the crowd to feel a sense of freedom through Trance. Groovy, deep, mature, hypnotic and clearly distinguishable.

Having played at many underground & major events worldwide, he has developed a full understanding of the flow and the energies of each dance floor and is flexible in terms of "styles". Through his impromptu sets, he is able to interact personally with each dance floor, taking the audience on a trans-formative journey. His sets are a direct form of communication through music.

For Boom Shankar, this process of mutual giving and receiving between the DJ and the audience has led to meaningful feedback from festivals like BOOM, Universo Paralello, Fusion, Ozora, S.U.N., Antaris, VOOV, Glade, Summer never Ends, Hadra, Vortex, Doof, Moksha, Transahara, Transylvania Calling, Indian Spirit, Timegate, Ometeotl, Universal Religion, Freqs of Nature and in clubs from New York to Bangkok, Kunming, London, Tel Aviv and nearly every other corner of the world.
