This is a FREE event in The Gallery at LPR.

On June 15th, Akashic Rift returns for a night of atmospheric, cerebral electronic sounds and visual art. This month we celebrate one year of events at Le Poisson Rogue, as well as the upcoming release of the Tom Rogers – Sector 5 Remixes EP on May 8th.

The Akashic Records are believed to be a celestial membrane which surrounds the planet — containing all information that has ever existed. Great leaders, meditation practitioners, and mystics are said to be able to access information from this field.

Join us to remember the underlying core of electronic music with…

Transmuting rhythmic glitches, sweeping strings, and existential lyrics, Tom Rogers is taking on a brash excursion into modern dance. His flavor of Cinematic Trance kicked off with debut release “Sector 5” climbing to #4 on the Beatport Trance Top 100. With DJ support from Sean Tyas, David Forbes, Artento Divini, Mike Saint-Jules, Kaeno, and many more, Tom continues to develop his music & progress further along his path.

Since 2010, he has performed with local and international talent such as Kyau & Albert, Ronski Speed, Eco, Thomas Datt, Victor Dinaire, James Gill, and Heavygrinder to name a few. He has received support from blogs including USA Trance Movement, EDM Insider, Syncronize.me, The Beatmill, and Undrgrnd Sound.

With performances under his belt at Santos Party House, LOVE NYC, Morgan Room, and Le Poisson Rogue among others, he has studiously learned the art of reading the crowd and heightening the overall texture of the night.

The project began with a serendipitous meeting in NYC after Karan and Brian moved to the city and set out to explore the indigenous musical landscape. Their collaboration organically evolved from impromptu late-night acoustic guitar jams into even more late-night electronic house parties, with Karan on the decks and Brian on the electric guitar. Karan favors tracks by Eric Prydz, Mat Zo, Jeremy Olander, Guy J and Miley Cyrus, while classic guitar heroes like John Petrucci, Shawn Lane, and Les Paul heavily influence Brian’s sound to create a unique fusion that keeps audiences dancing for hours.

Jonny’s early musical influences were from from his Dad playing the likes of Jean Michel Jarre, Depeche Mode and Pet Shop Boys in the late 80’s/early 90’s.

Music became a huge part of his life and after the Dance Mania craze of ’95 in the UK, he was hooked! As Trance became huge towards the start of ’99. Jonny became heavily influenced by the likes of Ferry Corsten, Paul van Dyk and Armin van Burren.

Using his Dad’s old record deck, another he got from his cousin and a cheap 2-channel mixer, he started DJing in his bedroom using a small selection of records. Early favourites included Fragma – Toca Me (InPetto Mix), Atlantis vs Avatar – Fiji (Lange Remix) and System F – Out of the Blue.

As soon as he was old enough (uh, hmm…) he’d be seen at GodsKitchen most Fridays and PaSSion most Saturdays, listening the the biggest DJs and observing their skills in the booth. Jonny started DJing at pubs, small venues, house parties, birthdays and even weddings; anywhere to get more experience. One of his personal highlights being playing a Trance Classics Set in a 15th Century castle in England – at a wedding! Even the bride had glo-sticks…

Jonny moved to New York in 2015 and his musical style has developed further based on the thriving music scene in Brooklyn and Manhattan. He’d likely describe his style as “anything melodic, with cool beats, driving basslines and awesome riffs that makes people smile and move! I’d say I’m into everything covering Techy-Deep-Progressive-Melodic-Trance, but I’ll always tend towards 138!”

After a few years putting music on the backburner and playing at house parties with friends at his apartment in Brooklyn, he’s back and you can catch him across New York this summer, performing for Akashic Rift and Inoki Party.
