Habitat and Area709 present the return of Vibrasphere!
For those who've had the chance to see Vibrasphere in Calgary last year, or at any of the massive festivals the duo have played around the world, it simply goes without saying that this is a show not to be missed.
A true pioneer of the deep, cinematic and emotive sides of intelligent trance. With unparalleled production values, Vibrasphere captures all the best elements of Progressive and Trance in a style that is sophisticated, sexy and inspiring.
Hosted in conjunction with our great friends from Area709.com, Habitat is pleased to continue to showcase compelling artists who set the bar from different genres.
A decade in any music industry is no mean feat in any style of music – but in electronic music, it’s a proverbial lifetime. Few acts can claim this feat at all, let alone claim ten years of success – however in the European summer this year, that is what Rickard Berglöf and Robert Elster (better known to the world as Vibrasphere) accomplished.
With over a 100 released productions to their name and gigs in all parts of the globe, Vibrasphere is without a doubt one of the most sought-after and respected trance acts in the world today. Early releases “Echo” (2001) on Spiral Trax and “Lime Structure” (2003) on Digital Structures established them as truly leading figures of the progressive trance scene, earning them a place in the history of this progressive sound. Their third Album, “Archipelago” (also on Digital Structures) was regarded as one of the seminal releases of 2006 and after their short break in 2005, firmly planted Vibrasphere back on the scene.
In late 2006, the single “Floating Free” was picked up by superstar DJs Markus Schulz and Armin Van Buuren for their radio shows, resulting in a string of licenses including Gatecrasher Live on Ministry of Sound and Armada Trance Vol. 1. Strong support from DJs Paul Van Dyk, Hernan Cattaneo, Paul Oakenfold, Christopher Lawrence, Remy, Menno de Jong, Kenneth Thomas and John 00 Fleming has helped with making a successful transition to a wider audience and a whole new generation of Vibrasphere fans. Riding on the back of their successful 2006 release Archipelago (and its subsequent remix cd), Vibrasphere released their 4th full length album, “Exploring the Tributaries” this time on Tribal Vision Records, in June 2007. In the spring of 2008 Vibrasphere also released a track called Autumn Lights on John “00” Fleming´s label Joof.
With their fifth and new release “Lungs of Life” on Tribal Vision, Rickard and Robert have truly achieved a maturation of their diverse sound and have leaped another step forward. The album features brand new studio material, from downtempo to progressive, techno and trance, including a very special collaboration with infamous Swedish project Ticon. There are also two exclusive remixes included – one by Canadian house/trance masters Glenn Morrison & Bruce Aisher and the other by French tech-house duo Solead.
