BATTLEFLOOR

"Born from the depths of creativity in 2015, Battlefloor is a live act hailing from the vibrant city of Johannesburg, South Africa. With a musical journey that's deeply rooted in a fusion of genres spanning Zenon, Dark Prog, Full-On, Forest, and Dark Psy, Battlefloor delivers a unique and compelling brand of deep, dark, and driving psychedelic trance.

Having honed his craft over the span of decades, Battlefloor boasts extensive experience in music production, proficiently navigating the realms of FL Studio, Ableton, and Cubase. His sonic artistry has found a home on prestigious labels such as Universal Tribe Records, Jaira & Padang Records, and even earned a feature on the esteemed Trancentral platform.

Battlefloor's music embodies a melancholic full-on forest style of psy-trance, characterized by a futuristic and mechanical glitchy sound. This distinctive approach incorporates formant and FM synthesis, creating an immersive auditory experience. Beyond the technical wizardry, Battlefloor's compositions also exude emotional depth and a compelling musical tonality, establishing a profound connection with his audience.

Battlefloor's journey as a festival DJ commenced in 2013, making waves with a Dark Progressive/Zenon style set at Illum!nation (Red Eye Productions - Killer B). This early exposure ignited a passion for the genre, which would later evolve into a love for forest-style psychedelic trance in 2016. Over the years, Battlefloor has graced the stages of numerous major Gauteng-based outdoor festivals, leaving an indelible mark with his dynamic sets.

Since 2020, his creative focus has predominantly shifted toward music production, consistently pushing the boundaries of his sonic artistry. Battlefloor's commitment to crafting immersive and emotionally resonant soundscapes ensures that his journey through the realms of psychedelic trance remains an ever-evolving, captivating experience."
