 Freaky Chakra - Profile | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
 In 1993 San Francisco based producer, Daum Bentley released his first 12" EP, Halucifuge under the Freaky Chakra guise on the seminal west coast underground label, Existdance records. One of the first artists to sign with the Astralwerks label, Bentley released his major label debut, 1995's Lowdown Motivator to critical acclaim. His innovative sound and abandonment of traditional West Coast influence was exemplified in the album tracks "Budded on Earth to Bloom in Heaven" with Curve vocalist Toni Halliday and the psychedelic romp "Peace Fixation". Chakra joined forces with electro/experimental phenom Single Cell Orchestra for a good year and a half to become one of the most sought after live techno PAs in the states playing some of the biggest club gigs and warehouse party's around. Shortly after Astralwerks released 1996's Freaky Chakra vs. Single Cell Orchestra, an album that is considered a classic with its left of center tribal techno anomalies and mutant electro tracks. With the 1998 release of Blacklight Fantasy, Freaky Chakra continued to explore the vast electro-space of dance music possibilities, with a darker experimental electro and techno-house vibe that saw tracks from it played by DJs ranging from Sasha to Richie Hawtin. During and since the Astralwerks days Bentley has recorded projects with such respected artists as Meat Beat Manifesto's Jack Dangers and John Selway and remixed people like Dubtribe, Cornershop, Charles Webster, Rabbit in the Moon and many others. Throughout the years the Freaky Chakra live PA has played all over the U.S., Canada, Puerto Rico and down in Australia. In October 2005, we saw the release of the third solo album from Freaky Chakra, "Moonroof Operator" on Run Recordings. This release featured tracks culled from recent singles off of the Crayon, Imix and Hallucination labels.
