Toast and Jam Sat 9th may Freeform Human, Hired Goonz

…..We are proud to present you the Gi’iwa tour and the launch of Freeform Human cd…

Freeform Human


Freeform Human is a collaborative audio/visual project closely linked with Hired Goonz and Gi’iwa Productions. The audio aspect is provided by John Halloran (Freeform), and the visual aspect provided by artist Jason Mitchell (Human).

The music is best described as psychedelic trance clashed with heavy inspiration from outside the genre. Expect to hear layers of electro, drum’n’bass, rock, breaks, hip hop, funk and world music in amongst classic psychedelic trance sounds. Live performance includes live keys, scratching and an extended live band with guitar and drums where available.

The live visual aspect of the performance includes synchronous analogue psychedelic tapestries of captured footage by the artist (Time lapse / photography / movie footage). We will try our best to capture some footage of the event before the live set to integrate into visuals also + a live video stream of the crowd while performing.

Together the audio and visual aspects provide an interactive immersive environment.

The one off return gig of…


Hired Goonz


File Under: Neo-Full-On-Chick-Trance+Fckn-Whatever-Pirate-Love-Bunnies. Hired Goonz is the synergy of the stunning
transcendental nature of Neuron Compost combined with the freaked out funk of Freeform Human. Their material over the last few years has been met with lots of love and thankyous globally. If you are a bit bored of the old template trance and wondering what else is possible this act is probably for you.

Continuing to push the envelope of what’s possible Hired Goonz performed a special one off live set spatialised into 4.2 channel surround sound At 3rd Ears “Random Instinct” in 2005 to rave reviews.

Looking forward, the Hired Goonz pirate love machine will be serving up some more dance floor hits in 2009.


Neuron Compost

Neuron Compost; organic fertilization of the nervous system, is the creative audio output of 29 year old Reece Stockhausen. Interested in the capability of frequency to affect consciousness, the project is an exploration of the interface between technology and spirit, the pursuit of the transcendent through freeform artistic expression. The resultant sound is a rich abstraction of digitally abused semi-digested audio, intelligently structured, infused with an emotive, visceral presence. Utilizing aesthetics native to all sub-genres of contemporary psychedelia, yet conforming to none, the Neuron Compost style is difficult to define. Displaying a strong disregard for established codes and conventions, it is a solitary voice of dissent, maintaining an aurally challenging, fierce and confronting individuality, whilst retaining a strong dance floor accessibility and subtle subversive humour.

The Neuron Compost live set is a real-time interactive experiment in group shamanic trance-dance ecstasis. Utilizing his training and experience in meditation and energy dynamics, a space is facilitated whereby the participant is invited to move beyond genetic and social programming and actively engage the holistic Self. Through overloading the reasoning functions of the mind, this is music geared towards deep, esoteric exploration.

A passion for innovative sonic aesthetics, coupled with an intuitive insight into dance floor dynamics, has recently seen Neuron Compost dj sets diversifying into down-tempo/ambient, IDM, dubstep, glitch breaks and minimal techno. The intention is to promote cutting-edge electronica whilst maintaining a coherent and emotionally engaging journey.

Reece is also responsible for the formation and artistic direction of Gi'iwa Productions, internationally recognized specialists in the release of forward thinking, truly progressive, psych0funkadelic trancefloor music.
