OMGaruda

Dieng Laras, Garuda aka Chillosophia, collects mostly 360° eclectic & psychedelics, ambient, downbeat, electronic world fusion, chillout, progressive, deep uplifting techno, Goa trance records and travels the Planet Earth playing them at selective private parties and transformational festivals. The Bali psy scene of the late 90′s and the second millennium greatly influenced him, as did the psyched

elic culture & fusion of live and electronic music general. Once he got twisted & activated at age 18 there was no turning back. Ahead lay only the choice to continue evolving, to continue helping raise the vibration of Love Light Life forces with all the families here on EARTH. The culture of psychedelic goa trance provided a home for this chillout, ambient garden & Downtempo project we call Chillosophia, and for the main dance-floor oriented sounds we call Garuda. Musically, his taste keeps mutating and evolving, his favourite styles are intricate fusion of both oriental & esoteric infused beats best known for his DJ sets that range from deep spacey Ambient to down-tempo Trance and groovy morning full-on psychedelic. This diversity in musical styles has created an eclectic DJ who enjoys playing day and night music, from sunrise to sunset, or a combination of styles if he is making one of his classic mixed in key transitional DJ sets between psytech, ambient trance, chillout, psydub downtempo, zenonesque oscillating depends how he is in tuned harmoniously with the crowds energy in different times of the festival & party
