New names on the Main Stage
LINE UP UPDATES — The O.Z.O.R.A. Festival 2014 Main Stage line-up has expanded by two new names, which, in this case, actually means three artists. Next to EGORYTHMIA, the joint project of Zen Mechanics and Ace Ventura called ZENTURA is now also there among the list of performers.
ZENTURA is the exciting project from the minds of Zen Mechanics, aka Wouter Thomassen from Holland and Ace Ventura aka Yoni Oshrat from Israel.
Both of these talented producers have separately made a big impact on the psychedelic trance scene over the years – with music ranging from progressive trance to full-on psychedelic trance, respectively releasing the classic albums “Holy cities” and “Rebirth”.
Now they join forces as Zentura, bringing their game to a whole new level.
With massive productions of a new breed of psytrance, which lies somewhere halfway between their own individual styles – and joining the ranks of Iboga records – Zentura is bound to set any dancefloor on fire.

EGORYTHMIA — is Boban Lazovski from Skopje, Macedonia. He started DJ’ing and promoting parties in 2001, but not long after, like many other great artists who eventually discover their own creative forces, he also got the itch to start making music. After experimenting with various projects, Egorythmia was born in 2008. Following a process of experimentation, redefinition of auditory equations and polishing, Egorythmia released his first EP at Iono Music in 2008 called Night Sight.
His fascination with the Progressive realms was mainly due to his ability
to be flexible with the method he shaped, adding components such as House and Techno
to bring his emotions and feelings to the highest score possible.
Since this entrance into the Progressive Trance community, and the Iono Music Family, he has released several more pearls and gems at various notable labels such as Iboga, Blue Tunes, Plusquam and Echoes.
It wasn’t long until the rest of the world got hooked on the Egorythmia phenomenon and he was performing at the top events all around the globe.
Along the way he met other amazing artists, which resulted in a number of collaborations with Ace Ventura , Zen Mechanics, Ritmo, MUTe, Time in Motion, E-Clip and Zyce, to name just a few. With all these inspirations feeding his creative process, Lazovski is trying to take each special moment and release his debut album.
