ASTRAL ARENA ARTIST

PIE


Hailing from the land of the long white cloud, Simon Towers aka Dj Pie has been spinning the wheels of steel since the early 90's. He gained a lot of experience by playing through many genres including Old Skool Rave, Happy Hardcore, Funky House, Breaks, Progressive, and Full On Psytrance. Although never producing, Pie is not just a Dj but a collector and scourer of music, a tinkerer, a playlister, and with that he has a unique ability to slot in anywhere at the party.


His preferable mixing style is deep and furious, often times going so deep that before he realizes it, he is several meters below the party conversing with aliens in their spaceship (usually taking tea, milk and biccies if they are on offer) before a serious bassline snaps him back to his chosen reality. Having grown up on high energy underground rave music, Simon was playing Nu Skool Breaks when Big Dave first broached him with the urgent news that there was a serious shortage of Full On Psy being played in New Zealand, and that he would be doing his civic duty by joining Phat Productions and slamming out decent Full On Psychedelic at parties in NZ.


Pie quickly immersed himself in the scene, finding a true bond with the high energy Full On Psy sound. Not expecting it to take his breath away, a decade has now passed and Pie has now cemented himself at the core of Phat Productions. Using the parties to satiate his absolute love of playing that Full On sound through the Opus, Pie has been honing and refining his sound to keep the flexibility to allow him to blast all day and all night. Pie has played at nearly every Phat Productions party since its inception, and has a weekly Psytrance Radio show called 'Psydetrackd' Psy Trance Radio blasting out to a world wide audience.
