In 1993, San Francisco based Daum Bentley released his first 12" EP Halucifuge, under the monkier of 'Freaky Chakra', on the seminal west coast underground label, Existdance Records.

As, one of the first artists to sign with the Astralwerks label, Bentley released his major label debut, 1995's Lowdown Motivator to critical acclaim. His innovative sound and abandonment of traditional West Coast influence was exemplified in the album tracks "Budded on Earth to Bloom in Heaven" with Curve vocalist Toni Halliday and the psychedelic romp "Peace Fixation".

In 1996, Bentley joined forces with electro/experimental phenom Single Cell Orchestra (aka, Miguel Fierro) to become one of the most sought after live techno PAs in the states, playing some of the biggest club gigs and warehouse party's around. Shortly after Astralwerks released, 'Freaky Chakra vs. Single Cell Orchestra', the album became known as a classic and a 'must have' album for any electronic music lover.

With the 1998 release, 'Blacklight Fantasy', Freaky Chakra continued to explore the vast electro-space of music possibilities. This album spouts a darker experimental electro and techno-house vibe and the tracks from it were played on turntables world-wide by DJs ranging from Sasha and Richie Hawtin to John Howard and DJ Solar.

Bentley has recorded projects with such respected artists as Meat Beat Manifesto's Jack Dangers and John Selway. As well as remixes for the likes of Dubtribe,Cornershop, Charles Webster, Rabbit in the Moon and many others. Throughout the years the Freaky Chakra live PA has played all over the U.S., Canada, Puerto Rico and down in Australia.

Recent releases include an EP for Mark Ambrose's Crayon label, remixes for labels including Whoop! Recordings, Iron box, Hallucination Records,Alexi Delano,Hawke,Rabbit and the Moon and Deepsky. The fourth full-length album, 'Moonroof Operator' is on Run Recordings.


Christoph will be playing a set of tech house and progressive and Chewy plays some sweet sounds in the early goings.
