Atmosphere Gathering Presents:

Drumspyder

Scott Sterling brings a deep love of rhythm, drums, and dance to his distinctive style of bass fusion. An expert percussionist specializing in the tamborine and framedrum families, he weaves traditional rhythms and melodies into contemporary sounds into finely sculpted grooves, equally inspirational to the dancefloor and the on-stage performer. Drawing inspiration primarily from Celtic and south European modalities, his music combines energetic rhythms with a sensual pagan atmosphere.

Originating in San Francisco’s crucible of bellydance, bass culture, and world music fusion, Drumspyder has come into his own as an original producer, building a substantial catalog of work on the Caravan, Dakini, and Desert Trax labels and releasing two EPs of original music in 2015. He is a prolific remixer, lending his signature live percussion and melodic touch to the Desert Dwellers, Deya Dova, David Starfire, and various traditional Arabic ensembles, with many more on the way. In addition, his music has been featured in numerous dance DVDs and theatrical productions.
2015 saw Drumspyder lighting up festival stages throughout the US and Canada, including Symbiosis, Sonic Bloom, Cascadia, Firefly, Kinnection, Astral Harvest, and many more. Recently he had the honor of playing at the Chapel of Sacred Mirrors in New York.

Nils

Nils has played headlining sets in Vancouver and throughout B.C. and has opened for the likes of Cheb i Sabbah, Nickodemus, Adham Shaikh, Gaudi, Beats Antique, Ott, Talvin Singh, David Starfire, Bluetech, Heyokah, Femi Kuti, Delhi 2 Dublin, and Oka. This diverse list should give you a sense of the range of styles Nils can represent. If there is a constant to his sets though, it is that all of them have at least some Global Beats represented.
