Govinda Govinda is the alter-ego of Austin based producer/composer Shane Madden. He began studying violin and composition at the age of eight and went on to study classical violin at the University of Texas where he fell in love with electronic music production. It was in Madden’s pursuit of his gypsy roots that he opened his ears to music from around the world. From experiences learning violin with mysterious masters on his journeys across the globe and his passion for modern design and technology, the current sound of Govinda was born. Govinda has played with Thievery Corporation, Tipper, Bassnectar, Shpongle, Cheb I Sabbah, STS9 and many more and been featured on over 25 compilations such as Buddha Bar II, Asian Travels II, and Nirvana Lounge selling a combined 400,000 copies. Govinda has played at numerous festivals throughout North America including Coachella, Lightning in a Bottle, Sea of Dreams, SXSW and more. Govinda's music has been licensed on shows like WB's “Roswell," MTV's “Road Rules,” and Bravo's “Queer Eye for the Straight Guy” as well as many independent films. The Govinda live show immerses the audience with a textured atmosphere of exotic, dubby vibrations interwoven with cosmic visual projections, world class dancers and mesmerizing vocals- all to the magic of his live electronics and violin. Kynara Parading into the vortex of the ever-evolving world of EDM comes an experience with such an incredible range of versatility and dynamic possibility, to try and describe it seems futile. From light and crisp high end frequencies that evoke sublime ecstasy down to deep, guttural, borderline-sickening bass movements that roar like a lion, the psychedelic soundscapes of Kynara are, to sum it up in a word, heavy. Each song is an intricately crafted journey designed to take you through a dreamworld where uplifting beauty is starkly contrasted with monstrous darkness. The palette of Kynara throbs and pulsates electronic, cinematic movement, with the sounds of nature and the living world juxtaposed against the cold, cruel machinery of metal and industry. And as the trip gets deeper, as you move underneath the hypnotic melodies and devastating drops, the profound soul of the music slithers its way inside of you, to capture you and shake you, to make you truly feel the elemental mysteries of life and consciousness. This is music that must be experienced. Stratosphere Stratosphere aims to raise the vibration of the listener through doorways and walls of sound, earthy tones, grounding beats, and deep bass. Ranging from ambient to aggressive Stratosphere strives to share emotion and healing energy through sound. Drawing inspiration from the Source, stars, spirits , the energy of the night sky, being surrounded by trees and nature, and the infinite mind, I am hoping to evolve with the listener into something beautiful. Thank you for your ears, time, interest, and energy. It means so much. Stratosphere has humbly shared the stage with Ilya Goldberg (from Emancipator), Futexture, Akara, Kynara, and Kolourz.
