Simon Posford is one of the most recognized and respected electronica artists. Based in the United Kingdom, Simon Posford has been producing electronic music since the 1990s using a handful of pseudonyms, most notably Hallucinogen. He has been involved in at least twenty different groups.
Simon Posford has mainly set his roots in the psychedelic trance genre, also known as Goa trance. In 1995 the album Twisted was released, for which he received much praise. The follow-up, 1997's The Lone Deranger, was a worthy successor and the last full album of the Hallucinogen alias.
From then on, Posford ventured into notable collaborations with artists like Raja Ram (Shpongle), Martin Glover (Celtic Cross) and Benji Vaughan (Younger Brother). Though pooling his talent from a host of worldly influences, many of his fans will attest that he has the "Posford touch", a certain unmistakable quality to the sound of his music, and is revered by psychedelic and electronica enthusiasts from around the world.
Simon is co-owner of Twisted Records UK.
