Is with an enormous sense of pride and accomplishment - we have a green light to include in our next edition's line-up, none other than Cydonia. So, it seems that our next ZNA edition will be blessed with the performance of its original creator
Dino Psaras and Steve Ronan, a duo who started performing in the beginning of the 90's under the name Ayahuasca.
Every edition we do our best to bring an artist with the power to revive the psychedelic sounds unleashed in the end of the 90's by the Atomic / Aurinko records family.
Atomic Records as a label, was responsible for designing and releasing a signature music language, explored at the time by the most heavy-weight producers.
Even though most of Cydonia’s material was released by Blue Room Records during the 90's, it was just after they signed under the Atomic Records label in '98 that most of us really started to dive into their work.
And it was as a part of the Atomic Records family that Cydonia blessed us with some of the best transitions yet heard by Man, varying from old school goa trance melodies to an intense industrial psychedelic goa music.
Looking back in retrospect we can safely say that this was one of the first significant evolutions that the psychedelic goa-trance scene went through. During these times some of the most skilled producers and DJ's committed themselves into exploring new horizons within the psychedelic music universe, opening the portals to other psy-dimensions and unexplored realities. Surfing on the quest for these new sensations Cydonia really broke the scale, ultimately shaping such a new and demanding scene.
We'll leave you here with a tasty spoiler - not only will this duo honor us with their Cydonia musical recipes, you can also expect to find in the menu some hidden sweets these guys baked as Ayahuasca, Tripster, Viper and Phreaky...
Make sure you allow yourself to experience such a special occasion.

The time has come for our ZNA biannual celebration to host one of the most charismatic and evolutionary artists on the trance scene.
Bill Halsey AKA Cosmosis and Mumbo Jumbo has razzled, dazzled and even sometimes crippled us with his astounding array of psychedelic weaponry. His amazing legacy speaks for itself. A true devotee to the psychedelic trance scene with over 25 years of experience, which makes him one of the few pioneer artists that still possesses the mastery to contribute to the evolution and the trend of this type of music.
At ZNA Gathering Bill will open up the portals to his Cosmology reality. A spaced-out colorful trip filled with some of his most known tracks and also some unknown secret melodies that will certainly leave our dancefloor in a pure state of trance.
ZNA land, shaded by a centennial forest and bathed by a beautiful lake, is just the perfect site to let yourself immerse in such a unique voyage - and we can't wait to share this moment with all of you, for the first time in the Zambu reality.
All we know is that it will be a true Intergalactic ride.

Finally the almighty project from Israel known since the late 90´s as Infected Mushroom will perform on our sacred retro futuristic ground.
This duo needs no introduction. Infected Mushroom is considered by the industry as a class A act in the electronic music scene, carving their own path which brought them a huge amount of success and a ton of worldwide recognition. Although many of us may feel that their unparalleled mastery and production quality has been shifting away and somehow diverging from its initial psytrance genre, we know that they still - and certainly will always - have a very special place in their hearts for the scene that they helped shape decades ago.

We believed that there is no better place to experience their act than ZNA Gathering. Why? Because we will be granted a tailored performance by these guys like they have never done before. At ZNA they will unleash all the raw and classic infected melodies crafted in their younger years, which will surely uplift our dancefloor to a higher level of psychedelia.
We hope you will get excited by this special gift as much as we were, when we realized this group was looking forward to conduct such a unique psy-experience, specially designed for the Zambu crowd.

The name Mark Van der Vlugt was always a guarantee of exclusively intense quality. Every time one of us saw him on a line-up, we knew we were about to experience a massive psychedelic ride where industrial soundscapes met the heavy environment that the best tech and psychedelic trance producers where crafting, with the support of magnificent and legendary labels such as Aurinko or Atomic records. These guys had a special type of knack for producing such crazy music.
This even increased the scene's expectations regarding how distant and deep psychedelic music can take you. They were certainly responsible for many of our best and craziest moments on the dancefloor. And as you know, this is exactly what drives us... bringing back such nostalgic moments into our lives is what makes the ZNA Gathering so unique and special.
So, it is with a huge honour that we have Marc Van Der Vlugt accept our invitation. Especially because his life and choices drifted him away from the psychedelic stages, long ago.
But from what we feel, this time he is going to be different. He was really happy with our invitation and decided that ZNA Gathering 2021 was going to be the perfect time and place to unleash all his mastery.
We know for a fact that he is already preparing for us a musical journey using all his rare and priceless psychedelic trance collection that he kept intact since his glory days - we even risk stating, as a result from our conversations, that we might even listen to tracks, or versions of tracks that most of us never heard before. Music that back in the days was made exclusive for artists like him to perform, without a label or distributors' industry.
Well one thing is for granted - this will certainly be a genuine monster performance that will hit many of us by surprise. Another one of those moments that are only possible to experience at ZNA Gathering.

Even though Alex Kurkin decided to carefully choose his future performances, he could not resist an invitation from us - can you imagine that!? He loves our vision and the energy of our dancefloor, and he feels blessed to be given a green card to unleash upon the ZNA sacred ground the crazy masterpieces he shaped and designed since he started to produce music back in 1996.

Parasense initially consisted of 2 fellow brothers that shared the same passion, sadly Zolod, one of these unparalleled Russians geniuses, is no longer among us in our physical realm; nonetheless, Alex has been able to keep up with the legacy they both crafted back in the days with an outstanding passion. Not only is he preserving with honor all their musical background, he also took their signature vision by his own means and mastery to a wider audience - always keeping high-end quality at the same time that he messes with our minds, heart and sanity.

It's more than mandatory for ZNA Gathering to pay our tribute to one of the best and most brilliant psychedelic music our scene ever experienced, considered by many the perfect fit for the most intense hours of the night, when the dancefloor craves for gripping psychedelic roller-coaster rides.

Well, in the next edition you can expect an intense ride into Alex's deepest psychedelic dreams - which also means there will certainly be moments of true paranoic sensations.

Tsuyoshi Suzuki, Nick Taylor and Andy Guthrie accepted our aspiring wish, and it's with a proud heart that we succeeded in joining these three deck wizards on the same stage for the 2nd time ever in the history of this project.
Our dancefloor will surely be ignited by the experience and legacy these artists co-created when they shared the same city back in the 90's. We all remember these trance heads that were thought to be quite ambitious producers with way too complex music, which gave them an underrated recognition, and consequentially made them not experience their best as they certainly could.

However, one thing that psychedelic trance evolution showed us is that Prana were nothing more than a project ahead of their time, a trio of musical geniuses that chose to explore the psychedelic trance without limitations and formulas. Their musical approach, instead of many others back then, offered new dimensions and top quality to the growing trance scene. They had the vision to go further, even when most didn't see it that way.

With all the musical projects that we have been exposed over the years, the ones that come as a breakthrough are the ones that relate to us, that mean something to us, whether if it's of our taste or not. And this dream team's musical legacy is one of those cases that will surely leave a strong impression in all of us.
So prepare yourselves for this special appearance and don't be mistaken... this is going to be a genuine goa psy trance hymn without precedents. A moment that will be engraved on our souls for the years to come...

An artist well-known for his eccentric vision and life style. He never stopped producing and performing worldwide since he started making us dance in the end of the 80´s and nowadays he his still performing worldwide in the biggest stages spreading his vision of psychedelic trance.
Olli Wisdom has been shaping our scene since the first steps of our culture, bringing much more to our psychedelic trance movement than music, like the cloth trend he created and that still is to this days a synonym of the colorful psychedelic life style.
His legendary performances are still engraved in our hearts, and those of us that were lucky enough to live one of the epic performances he used to unleash decades ago on the dancefloor, can say with certainty that they have gone through some of the most intense psychedelic experiences to date. After DJing for so many years, Olli started to focus exclusively on his own music production, being nowadays one of the artists with the biggest repertoire under his belt.

But that's not all - the really exciting part is that he has promised to design his
Space Tribe set exclusively for the Zambu dancefloor, a temporal-musical journey through his Goa Psychedelic Trance gems. Music that still resonates inside our minds and hearts, and that still has the power to take us back to those golden dancefloor moments. We strive to revive those beautiful faraway feelings we all love so much - but it's your unconditional energy and support that make this kind of reality possible.

The almighty James Monro together with his mate Matt Evans are the masterminds behind Technossomy, and as some of you probably remember, their performance on ZNA Gathering 2015 was one of the highlights of that edition.
The Technossomy project started back in 1992, under the great Flying Rhino record label. Their music was always characterized for being unique and mind-blowing, providing since its conception some of the most memorable moments in our psy-dancing experiences. Since we experienced their live performance, back in the days, at a party in Cascais we immediately become their number one fans.
And even though their lives took different directions they still strive to celebrate their mutual past and all their musical legacy exclusively at our biannual Retro Futuristic Celebration.
For us it is such a pleasure and a huge honor to hear and experience these guys' psychedelic visions that it was only natural to have them again with us in 2021, in what is expected to be the year of cultural renaissance following the 2020 artistic hiatus. These two psychedelic veterans are promised to unleash an exclusive performance that will be engraved - once again - on our ZNA chronicles.
Remembering all the Zambu family celebrating together is, for both us and the artists, a truly special moment that we deeply cherish; and knowing it will happen in our magical sacred land once again is a win-win combination that we are certain will fill our hearts for the years to come.
