SIDE-PROJECTS AND SOLO WORK

With solo albums on UP Records and Phantasm Records, several EPs and multiple collaborations (including Tron, Cylon, Adalamoon and others) released under his Banyan and Steve OOOD aliases, Steve Callaghan’s solo work is a masterful blend of psytrance styles from progressive through to twilight and full-on.

Colin’s Faction alias dates back to the late 1980s and was used for his solo releases on Phantasm Records, whilst as Complector he has released a handful of tracks mainly on the Psychedelic Jelly label in collaboration with Sanial McCormick as Sanial & Complector. As Colin OOOD, he has collaborations and solo releases including tracks with Hypnocoustics on Nano Records and Outer World Elements. Colin’s solo work is particularly varied and you’ll find some surprises on his personal Soundcloud page.

A brand new collaborative project of Steve OOOD and Simon “Psydwards” Edwards, Banyatti focuses on a groove-laden and emotive chillout/downtempo/deep trance vibe. Their first release under this name is due sometime in 2023 on Iboga Records’ Sofa Beats imprint.

Colin Bennun and Andrew Humphries released two critically-acclaimed albums as Voice of Cod in 2005 and 2008, on London-based Organic Records. With a unique sound crossing over between progressive and full-on psytrance, VoC performed around the world before Andrew emigrated back to his native Australia in 2009.

Tim Healey and Colin Bennun have a long history of working together following Tim’s collaboration with OOOD in the 1990s. In the very early 2000s they contributed to the birth of the tech house and progressive trance genres as Dallas Kiss, and in the 2010s their Bennun & Healey project made waves in the psychedelic techno scene with explosive original tracks and inventive remixes of artists such as X-Dream, Empirion, Banco Da Gaia and Sophie Barker.

Kleesh was a techno collaboration between Colin and Mark Kerridge that was active between 2005 and 2015, releasing a bunch of poundingly hypnotic singles and remixes mainly on Horns & Hoofs Entertainment.
