(Psyconoclast Design) -Booking: https://www.facebook.com/KytheraOfficial Kythera is the solo-project of the 26 year old Jannik Gerber from Northern Germany. Music ruled his life from an early age. He spent his early teenage years mostly with drums, guitars and metal. Growing up with his father’s passion about music and sound systems, music in all its forms and aspects is in his blood. Discovering the world of psytrance at the age of 18 at the Waldfrieden Wonderland festival, it was clear that this music is what he searched for all his life. Music that doesn’t show any mercy to the listener. Giving no room to breathe, producing a state of a constant shock.  Visiting the Antaris-Project in 2014 opened his eyes for the darker and faster styles of psytrance.  He began to collect all sorts of tracks that fascinated him and soon after getting integrated in his local scene he started to play Dj-sets on smaller partys.  Playing at more and more events and watching the music change over a few years created the question about how psytrance is made. On some day Ableton Live was opened for the first time and the mission was clear. Since then he dedicated his life fully to music production, trying to fullfill his great lifetask - playing music to big crowds of people all over the world. In 2016 he first met Kilian, the mind behind Metrix & Arsiaba on a Waldfrieden event. The music from Metrix has been a big influence to him at the time and still is today. The two quickly became good friends, worked on collaboraions and played on some events together. The friendship and the endless *nerdtalk* they got into is one of the apsects that created Kythera how it is today.  Besides the musical influence from Metrix other projects that inspired him at the time were Chris Rich, Zzbing, Kabayun, Delirium Tremens, Ajja, Tristan, Tromo, Via Axis.. and many more.   Kythera stands for deep melodic basslines, growling FM leads that are fighting each other, getting you right in between their battlefield, right in between a ritual of different alien species. Kythera stands for an atmosphere that cant be described, just felt. The music is fast, mysterious, dark and complex.  In his music he combines the best of both worlds, analog and digital synthesis. No matter if taken from the Virus Ti2, from Serum or from his modular synthesizer - almost all sounds get heavily processed above the worlds of analog and digital.   *For me it is not about ideology or mojo, even though I really really love modular analog synthesizer’s, I just want to create the most otherwordly sounds that no one could think of right before they were happening in my studio and to achieve that I mix everything together.*   Kythera’s biggest bookings were on events like the Waldfrieden Wonderland & Hai In Den Mai in Northern Germany, in the Club Charlotte Nightclub or on the festival from the Synaptic Eclipse collective which he is also part of.
