Bio:
Ephedrix are Jochem Peeters and Joris Marckx living in Mortsel, Belgium. They met as teenagers and since then music was all they ever talked about. Jochem started to play the drums at the age of 10 while Joris jammed the guitar. In 1997 they began to experiment with electronic (techno) music and in 1998 they appeared on stage for their first live act at a local party.
The first goa party they attended in 1999 made them slowly 'move' into psytrance.
Later on, often visiting goa parties, Jochem and Joris were completely inspired by the vibe of this crazy music and the atmosphere at these parties. After a while the minimal music was replaced by melodic trance with heavy rhythms.
And that's what Ephedrix is all about: psytrance with uplifting melodies, groovy percussion, crystal clear bass lines and a pumping sound. Their unique style was quickly picked up by various Belgian party organisations and now Ephedrix is a respected and popular live act in the Belgian scene. As residents in various party concepts they had the chance to play next to big acts and dj ..s like: Ticon, Silicon sound, Joti Sidhu, Space Buddha, Nomad, Dino Psaras, Bizzare contact, Vibe Tribe and many more..
At the end of 2005 Ephedrix joined the Dacru artists in their ..Avenida de Bélgica.. Mexico tour, spreading their sound all over Mexico with the New Years festival in Cancun and the Magic festival in Guadalajara as highlights. In these parties they were on the line-up with acts such as Pixel, Gataka, Chakra, Time Lock, Sesto Sento, Electrosun and many others.
After the tour Ephedrix decided to join the Dacru organisation (www.dacru.be) on a more definite basis. And as also their music keeps evolving, a lot of new gigs, international bookings and their first releases showed up since 2006!
And finaly in April 2008 their debut ALBUM has been released at Dacru Records!
