In 1999 he moved to the UK and started doing A&R for Organic Records, as well as producing psytrance under the name Mr. Biscuit. Following several releases on Organic Records under this name, he met Colin OOOD and together they started VOICE OF COD. Andrew has since compiled “Invasion from Hyperspace” on Organic Records, and has released a full length album under the VOICE OF COD name. He has DJed at most of the major psytrance parties in the UK as well as internationally in Portugal, USA, Greece, Germany, Holland, Spain, Switzerland, and Australia. In addition, he has also played on the progressive house scene in the UK, USA and Madiera. With releases on the upcoming Organic Records compilation, “Party On - 10 years of Organic Records,” expect a powerful set of fresh, unreleased morning dancefloor grooves!
EARWORM (Yabai Records - NYC)
EARWORM is the project of Max Meshiv, born in 1986. He was infected by the virus in Israel at a very early age and now resides in NYC to infect others. He has recently released on the new Yabai Records compilation alongside artists ABOMINATION, DIGITAL TALK, and PHATMATIX.

ENTHOCENTRIC SALON
Saturday December 8, 2007
“Entheogen” followed by Q & A with the filmmakers including Rod Mann.
The screening will begin at 8:30pm. Entheocentric Salon with live painting will follow the screening.
Enthegen TV
ENTHEOGEN examines the re-emergence of archaic techniques of ecstacy in the modern world by weaving a synthesis of ecological and evolutionary awareness,electronic dance culture, and the current pharmacological re-evaluation of entheogenic compounds. Within a narrative framework that imagines consciousness itself to be evolving, Entheogen documents the emergence of techno-shamanism in the post-modern world that frames the following questions: How can a renewal of ancient initiatory rites of passage alleviate our ecological crisis? What do trance dancing and festivals celebrating unbridled artistic expression speak to in our collective psyche? How do we re-invent ourselves in a disenchanted world from which God has long ago withdrawn? Entheogen invites the viewer to consider that the answers to these questions lie within the consciousness of each and every human being, and are accessible if only we give ourselves permission to awaken to the divine within.
Watch the Entheogen Movie Trailer Now!
Stan Grof, Marilyn Schlitz, Ralph Metzner, Alex Grey, Terrence McKenna, John Markoff, Daniel Pinchbeck, and Kat Harrison among others, postulate how the disenchantment of the modern world may be remedied by summoning the courage to take the next leap in the evolution of planetary consciousness.

Mr. Nick Robertshaw
“Big” Nick Robertshaw, our dearest friend, husband and father left us all and the world he loved so much, on Monday, Oct. 29. Terry, his adored wife of 30 short years, and Thomas, beloved son and cohort, cherish his life and their time with him.–Together they built a beautiful garden home in the country.–He was the ideal husband and father who shared his life fully with his loved ones.–I think many of us are included in the group of loved ones. His love and passion for life was so big and buoyant it could carry us all when we were around him.–His concertina was the heart of the whirling, foot stomping Morris dancing and his infectious singing made us all want to join in the song.– Not to be content with one style of music he appreciated all and in dayglow regalia joined his son in his passion for modern Electronica.– He was an amazing wordsmith as well.– Not just with his songs either, his words and wit had us at the edge of our seat until we realized too late that he was telling a joke.–
Professionally, Nick made many contributions to diverse fields. He consulted with the U.S. Federal Government’s Department of Housing and Urban Development on how to ensure that telephone and website communications with consumers were effective and swift. He also taught computer programming classes for the IRS and Morgan Stanley Bank. As a computer engineer, Nick built a mainframe computer that continues “to fly” with his name inside. He helped create the machinery that allows banks to sort US currency and remove bills that are too worn to continue in circulation.– In the last few years of his life, he created a web-based scoring service for a short test, called “Parents’ Evaluation of Developmental Status,” widely used by pediatricians and other health care providers to detect children who have developmental and behavioral problems. Nick is also the co-author and graphic designer of another short measure, PEDS: Developmental Milestones. On the day of his death, the American Academy of Pediatrics paid tribute to his many contributions to the field of developmental-behavioral pediatrics. His many colleagues, co-workers, friends, and family mourn his loss and admire his wisdom, vision, kindness, humor, perspective, and his lovely spirit.
Although here we can only scratch the surface of Nick, it is important that you understand one last thing. With an extraordinary passion for life he sought to understand and appreciate the intricacies of the world around him.– He loved nature so much and was horrified by the history, politics, and reality of climate change.–In lieu of flowers, please honor his life by donating money to the World Wildlife Fund’s climate change program, www.wwfus.org/globalwarming.
That being said, Nick wouldn’t want to leave on such a morose note.– Please join his friends and family at 6 p.m. on Thursday, November 8th, at Cafe 611, 611 North Market Street, Frederick, MD for an evening of music and dancing in remembrance of our friend.
“The terrible thing about dying is that you don’t get to see how it all ends up.” — Big Nick
