After almost 30 years of scattering his Psy-Harmonic magic all over our scene, Andrew is one of the only wizards that possess the right skills and knowledge to deliver us all with an unprecedented and surprisingly deep musical experience.

For the first time in ZNA history we will have the huge honor of hosting such an amazing artist that's promised to deliver a really funky and twisted psychedelic retrospective ride for all our dear Zambu dancers. Only one question remains - will you be able to handle it?

We hope you do, as we can't wait to share this rare moment with all of you!

After their first encounter with the Zambu crowd in the previous ZNA 2019 edition, they realized how open our family is to their musical suggestions. Even though the world has changed a lot since then, we still believe that the most cherished performances are the ones that bring back the feelings from our past psychedelic experiences, those that we keep deeply engraved on our hearts and memories; this belief we have is something that you only get by experience, and not really by briefings or explanations from others.

We are really excited to be exposed once again to a new "retrogressive" psychedelic ride exclusively designed for us, conducted by the Iboga masterminds known as DJ Banel (who is turning 50 years on the day of his performance) and DJ EMOK (who is also in charge of bringing Banel´s cake).
A moment to be highly expected at a late afternoon session on this beautiful dancefloor we all love and look forward to.

DJ BIM will once again give us the immense honor of dancing through his musical repertoire, shaped and designed with one of the biggest music collections that our scene has ever heard of.

There will be no ready-made formulas, no top 10 tracks; instead, he will welcome us to explore a deep, emotional, uplifting trance voyage through the golden years of the melodic progressive psy goa trance music.

We can't wait to share another of his musical journeys with all of you.

Amidst the legendary work these two masterminds conjured together there is plenty of amazing music to be explored by all of us. And even though they chose to explore different perspectives of the music scene during their career, at ZNA there will be a special focus on their best - released and unreleased - dancefloor oriented music, crafted in the (g)old days when many of us developed this timeless bond with our scene.

So, for our dear Retro-Futuristic addicts: expect nothing but powerful emotional melodies and epic acid soundscapes from these two psy-maestros. This is another one of those ZNA moments that has all the right pieces to make it unforgettable, and will surely mark its place in the book of psytrance history, along all of those other beautiful moments we have been writing with all of you.

Join us and bring your energy, so that together we can make our collective dream a reality.
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.

Frédéric enthusiastically agreed to design an exclusive and unique performance for the next ZNA edition, in a producer performance that will bring back to life the music that has been saved only by few of the most known goa guardians of our scene. There he will put up to good use all of his mastery to craft an intense psychedelic journey with retro-futuristic sounds, perfectly tailored for our zambu crowd.

Expect nothing but the best dirty goa / psychedelic notes envisioned by one of the best minds in the scene.

We can't wait to share and experience this exclusive and one-of-a-kind performance - one that's only possible because WE SHARE ZNA.

Many of us still have engraved in our minds his ZNA Gathering 2019 DJ set, and so we decided we should take another ride on his monstrous musical legacy rollercoaster. Those who tried it last time witnessed the dancefloor transforming into a place unsuitable for easy-listeners, a moment that blasted the dancers into an industrial and dirty ride inside the psytrance spectrum. Those who've had the chance to see him in action back in the days know how authentic and intense his psychedelic trips were, branding our night experiences into our memories for the years to come.

Embrace yourselves, as this will surely be another mind-opening and powerful journey in our retro-futuristic funfair. Take our word for it - you really don't want to miss THIS ride.

To the most avid Zambus out there, many of you might remember the epic morning performance from Slinky Wizard (with Gus Till & Ronnie Biggs) in our ZNA land back in 2015, as well as the Gus Till Flying Rhino DJ Set that spun at the beginning of that same night.

This time for his second appearance we can expect a full-blown, 3 hour ride that will take us deep inside Gus' world; this master will reveal to us a musical journey through his own Ozzy signature music, solely with exclusive tracks from the legacy he created. Expect nothing but an incredible and perfect mix between the minimal and progressive trance, mixed together with the deep and not-so-obvious side of the old-school Goa trance he is well known for.
As you can imagine this is going to be yet another unique and rare performance, not to be missed at our next Retro-Futuristic celebration - we can't wait to share with you all what is certainly going to be one of the most memorable acts ever at our gathering!

This musical maestro will be the one to welcome us into the night hours
of the party. A fine blend, if you will, of industrial environments,
techno formulas and his cinematography soundscape, all within the
magical world of psychedelic goa trance.

Your brains will be *nicely* tortured for endless hours on end, while
Holeg takes control of our retro-futuristic mothership, bringing a
gentle chaos into our lives.
He will melt in his performance all that magical mayhem, manufactured
while at the legendary Aurinko Records, but also his weird side, coming
from the experimental psychedelic experiences he so outstandingly
explored back in the days.

Catch you on the Spice side.

Their music is most definitely not suitable for the fragile minds, but perfect for everyone else that aims for the most intense, dirty, heavy, industrial side of the psychedelic trance spectrum.

After a decade without performing, the trio known as Intact Instinct or Peak Pilots has accepted the challenge to perform, for the first time and exclusively in tune with our vision, a massive retrospective set that will make many heads spin at our ZNA dancefloor.

You can expect nothing but an intense, minimal, dirty AND LOUD experience taken from the sounds this group created back in the days as Intact Instinct / Peak Pilots.

Dare yourself to explore your most raw feelings while they Access All Areas from our deepest selves.

We can then expect nothing but the most intense, nostalgic and psychedelic ride, with his vast musical catalogue painted with decades of mixing experience.

We can't wait to witness where he will take our beautiful dancefloor during the three hours he has under his control. That will be a moment with all the right ingredients to be engraved on the history of our unique celebration.

Juno Reactor has been doing an amazing job by constantly changing his performances since this musical project was created back in 1990. You can actually feel all the inputs, mindset and musical language evolving as the band evolved towards different live performances. But there is one thing that stayed immaculate during all these years: Ben's vision and mastery in delivering many of the most timeless tunes this scene has ever witnessed.

Having Ben performing for ZNA Gathering for the 2nd time is nothing but an honor. His previous ZNA performance put him in total sync with our vision, meaning that he will be even more focused in building a journey to the roots of his groundbreaking work - one of the most valuable legacies in the trance scene. This will be another one-of-a-kind performance that will balance between tribal soundscapes and his unique Goa Trance beats.

So let's enjoy, open our hearts and let out our best vibes - the shaman Juno Reactor is going to guide us on one of the biggest musical trips our scene can get us high on.

The only question that keeps hitting our minds is - how can this be the very first time this guy his performing at our retro-futuristic celebration?? Well, one thing is guaranteed: we will now have the honor of dancing to his best music. Being active for the past 25 years, he will put all of his skills and expertise in action at ZNA's next edition, unleashing all the music he designed and co-designed back in the days to make us float into his psychedelic Laughing Goa Trance dimension.

An experience we never had before, and that we will certainly do everything in our power to not miss - crossing the Buddha journey with you is everything we could ever wish for!

See you all there!

How he will do that, you may ask.

Well, he will use almost 3 decades of experience exploring the edges of psychedelic realms which granted him the proper skills and tools to surprise us even if you think otherwise. Specially when you realize most of his material crafted decades ago are gonna hit you as a surprise.

Why, you would ask.

Because this performance is being carefully planned to happen after your longer than recommended exposure to the best and strongest musical psychedelic alchemists doses of psychedelic dementia. The moments when you find yourself vulnerable and exposed to the deck wizard’s mastery and in witch the only tiny strings keeping you from losing control are those familiar melodies and beats. Once your mind is taken away from your physical surroundings, you start connecting with your unknown deep “nervasystem”. This connection allows you to experience true psychedelic through music without any expectations or screenplays to follow.

We can't wait to share this unpredictable intense ride with all of you!!

This introspective reality acts as a cleansing ritual that lets us play with our dark sides and release all the bad energies, making each music a unique and personal psychedelic trip. It's during these challenging moments that the most skilled producers are able to show how slow-paced music can become so powerful and loud, reverberating in your whole body and soul.

Wanting to give us the best edition so far we've invited one of the finest Maestros of the scene, directly from the headquarters of the legendary Spiral Trax Records (when it was conducted by our dear friend and Maestro Dj Anti) considered as one of the biggest Swedish musicians within this style. An artist with a legacy that makes us shiver everytime we are exposed to it.

Magnus Andersson, a.k.a. NOMA, re-enforced the paradigm of Psychedelic trance by the end of the 90´s by turning it upside-down and exploring a new deep and hypnotic side of music, as if in contrast with the uplifting melodic approach so common until that time.

At ZNA you can expect from Magnus himself a specially tailored 2 hours Producer Set, a dark ride that will take us on a exploration through the realms of psychedelia packed with the some of the most awesome monster tracks ever created by this man.
Join us during this exclusive appearance and get prepared to go Noma deep. We know we will.

Their stunning live show includes live drums / percussion, guitar and keyboards, and is guaranteed to be a super intense moment on stage - and even more on ZNA dancefloor! OOOD have been surfing their creative wave for 20 years now and their mission has always been to have a good time, spread some joy and write the best tunes they can.

This time they will bless us with the music they crafted so well back in the golden days of the goa psychedelic trance, so get ready for a ground-pounder, dust-lifting OOOD performance that will certainly make a mark on our afternoon Goa Trance melodic sessions.

Another piece that fits in our unique ZNA puzzle, falling just in the right place...

So you have an idea of the effort and dedication, this is a work Joti started doing in the beginning of 2020, right after a brainstorming we had for his next ZNA performance...

The reason he has never done this before is because, until now, he felt that the music he designed in the 90's would not match smoothly with the music he crafted later on in the beginning of the millennium; back then music was being pushed to new boundaries, ultimately evolving into what most of us know as FULL-ON.

As you can imagine such fusion is not an easy feat to accomplish, specially considering his (and ours) high standards. Joti had to travel back in time to re-arrange all the music he crafted in those days, to bring back into the future the best present we could receive - the most beautifully chaotic retro-futuristic experience our dancefloor as ever witnessed at his hands. A happening that will surely leave all Zambus exposed to New Sensations.

We can't wait for this unique ZNA performance.

His name is Lars Lind, the man that has been crafting the finest Norwegian psychedelic Goa trance for years now; and this time he will join us on the ZNA mainfloor with his epic project, founded in the 90's together with his partner Christer Borge-Lunde, known as RA.

We are already envisioning the experience of being engulfed by their dreamy, floaty viking melodies in a late afternoon psychedelic goa trance session, and we know without a doubt that it will be one of those special moments that all the dancefloor warriors will never forget.

May this year go as fast as possible, as we NEED to dance with all of you to the music we love so much!

These two men we're surely fall into this category; you have to know the trance history to understand their importance, and understanding their importance is basically knowing trance history in itself.

Having Ray Castle on our stage once again is nothing but a true honor. An unprecedented artist who experienced and contributed to the evolution of our scene since day one, hanging among the freaks and free spirits at the shores of the white sandy beaches in Goa back in the 80's and 90's.

A true traveler, this Kiwi artist grew all of his experiences and beliefs while living in Japan and Australia. There he created several projects such as Masaray, together with DJ MASA, and Rhythmystec with Nick Taylor from Prana and Taiyo. Many of you must certainly remember the epic and unique Masaray VS DJ performance at the last ZNA edition.

This time, Castle chose to share the stage with his Rhythmystec mate Nick Taylor also known as Snake Thing, promising us a pure trip into their own psychedelic reality. After this moment, you will be among the few lucky ones that can can claim they've had the privilege to witness their art.

All that we at the ZNA headquarters wish is to empower trance culture in the present to assure its future. We, the trance people - and most certainly our Zambu family - are a very special tribe, with its heroes and shamans, its legends and its rituals; as such, our aim with every edition is to create line-ups that promote and highlight the historical side of our scene, to spread our ZNA gene and keep the roots of our culture alive.

We invite everyone to join us in this historical moment, not only of ZNA Gathering but also of our trance scene as well.

Isaac Levi, a.k.a. Sandman / Witchcraft / Green House Effect, accepted the challenge to return to our retro-futuristic gathering after almost 10 years since his last performance for the Zambu Rockers. After being one of the highlights of the ZNA Gathering 2013 experience we were left with a huge desire to host him again.

At the next ZNA edition you can expect a tailored performance warp up with his best tracks released and unreleased crafted back in the days aiming to take the ZNA ship to his own deviant retro-futuristic reality.

We share ZNA

If you are a true psychedelic goa trance aficionados like us, then this is the guy you want to listen to - among many other reasons, the biggest lies in his insane addiction to unreleased, rare, and many times unheard of, music tracks, that makes his collection and sets really unique. Combine that with his decades of DJing experience, and you'll get some of the best performances you can witness in your life.

This time he will be taking the huge task of controlling our mainfloor ship by doing what he does best. Embrace yourselves, as we'll take off into the realms of a psychedelic dimension never before heard by any Zambu.

Jeroen is one of those great artists whose priorities and choices opened a different path in his life, taking him away from our beloved scene.
Even though we feel his absence was a significant loss to the evolution of our music, we know that the trance flame still burns strong inside his heart - and him accepting our invitation is proof of that! We could not be more excited, and proud, to provide this rare experience, especially knowing that his music and performance will be highly appreciated by all our most dedicated supporters.

Join us at ZNA's next edition in this ride through the memory lane, a one-of-a-kind music legacy that will make us fly between deep minimal psychedelic soundscapes and the funky breakbeat Goa Trance side of Synchro's golden days.

Since the mid 90's that Texas Faggott have been pushing the boundaries of crazy psychedelia with a an amazing demented sense of humor. Their music can be best described as an apogee of layers, melodies and base variations.

Keep in mind that their energy is not suitable for lightweight dancefloor warriors - Texas Faggott will surely test your sanity and unleash a true explosion of colors during the darkest hours of the night, like many are not used to. At first you will be engulfed by a sea of unorthodox stimulus, but if you allow yourself to go deeper down the rabbit hole you will be able to feel how hilarious, twisted and profound their music really is.

Their performances are quite rare nowadays, but impossible is nothing at our Retro-Futuristic celebrations; so, on our next edition, we are promised to have a suomi ride down the memory lane of their "Psy-Harmonics early Exogenic years" - which means, in other words, that reality as we know it is going to get deeply distorted.

Will you dare? We most certainly will.

Our good friend and retro-futuristic supporter Kris Kylven aka UX / Syb Unity Nettwerk / Element Over Nature (to name a few) got the rights from Pete Martin aka Slide (or UX co-founder) to design this unique and amazing act - as Kylven was involved back in the days in many of Slide's tracks, although uncredited -, which will be exclusively presented at ZNA Gathering's next edition.

This means you can expect a deep journey through the vast musical catalogue of UX and Slide! But there's more - since we were forced to postpone our gathering to next year, we now have a slight chance of Kylven bringing some company onto our retro-futuristic stage... by none other than Pete himself.

This will most certainly be a heavy massive psychedelic transition from the darker hours to the enlightenment of the sunrise! Music suitable to re-awake our ZNA, don't you think?

One of the reasons our scene has not been having the opportunity to experience his performances as so desired is because his professional life balances between his musical career and his (very successful) entrepreneurial adventures in England; the latter brings upon him a lot of responsibility and time-consuming work, which ultimately forces this musical mastermind to choose very carefully his current gigs.

Surprisingly enough ZNA Gathering's reputation among the founding community of our scene precedes us, and it is with great pride and joy that we have made it possible to grant such a special and unique moment for all of our Zambu family.

If you - like us - are yearning for some of the best music designed by one of the most brilliant minds of our scene, then you can't miss next ZNA edition's performance of Benji Vaughan, a.k.a. Prometheus, also known for his almighty-experimental-downtempo-breakbeat-psychedelic project Younger Brother (crafted in duo with his label mate and artist Simon Posford). This will be an exclusively tailored, 3 hours Twisted Producer Set without precedents - the perfect opportunity to reach deeper down the rabbit hole than you ever imagined possible.

We can't wait to share this unique moment with all of you.

With an outstanding 3 decades of history, Marcus and Jan are an absolute favorite everytime we search for the ultimate psychedelic wave. want to be expose to the best our scene has to offer.

Even though they are most known for their industrial dirty techno psytrance approach, at the next ZNA edition they'll reveal a side of theirs that nowadays they don't usually let out, which in our opinion it's their best side.

This means that the X-Dream crew will bring us an exclusive performance designed exclusively for our late morning rituals, packed by immersive soundscapes crafted in the Tunnel Records days, filled with layers and dreamy Goa Trance melodies that will transport us back in time.

We can't wait to share this eXtra-DREAMy performance with all of you.

We know many of you loved to experience his exclusive performances at our Gathering; he also loves to come and loves our dancefloor. In fact, Mark has been accepting to perform his Xenomorph project only at ZNA Gathering, as he has walked away from stages and has been focusing himself in his own music and production inside the studio.

The psy veteran Mark Petrick is considered by many as the father of horror / dark-trance, a unique and unprecedented style that was branded in his tracks like "Obscure Spectre", in 1996.

His live sets are considered by many dancefloor dwellers as the most extreme psy-experience anyone could have at a party, and only a few producers were ever able to achieve such a twisted musical environment. It's not Heavy Metal, it's Heavy Mental! - and we love it!!!

This will be the moment to let yourself go and fall into Xenomorph's strong, powerful arms - his creative embrace, dark as it may be, will cradle you in an elegant fine balance between beauty and bestiality... transporting you to the Limbo between his most dark dreams and psychedelic nightmares.

We are both horrified and delighted to live this extended and rare experience with you once again!

That's right, we will have the honor to host once again the music crafted by those that were known in the 90's as the "little young boys from the Netherlands". These prodigy sound designers started to shake the psychedelic parties with their signature sound in the early steps of the trance scene, providing some of the most wanted experiences true dancers were seeking for.

As some might remember, their previous ZNA Gathering performance was focused on reviving the music they crafted back in the 90's and beginning of the millennium, tailored for the most intense peak hours of the party. On this next ZNA edition, the challenge has changed a bit, reminiscing the groovy and slower kind of music that the boys designed back in the days.

This means that Riktam will drive us through the best groovy melodic music he designed along with Bansi as Growling Mad Scientists or all the other projects they gave life since the 90´s. Music that will embrace our retro-futuristic dancefloor with a warm sensation of good ol' memories that'll bring up smiles and boost our mind and body with the energy they need during the hottest sunny hours of the day.

We are really excited to listen and live once again the best psychedelic growling our scene has to give - exactly what the ZNA within us needs after such a long festival hiatus during these past couple of years.
