Get Musically Healed By The Cyber Shaman

Hailing from Canada it’s Ken Langelier AKA CYBER SHAMAN puts the most intense banging beats that the scene has encountered. From solo projects to collabs with 10 other producers on a single project CYBER SHAMAN creates passion filled beats of House and HI NRG Fusion with hard jackin’ percussion amid deep bass lines with dubstep Ambient Chill that will give you an orgasmic musical experience.

CYBER SHAMAN puts out the most intense electro vibed music. Ken Best describes… I grew up in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. Not from a musically versed family, I got into music only in my late teens when I discovered Pink Floyd and Peter Gabriel`s Passion of the Christ soundtrack in the 90`s. Psychedelics like LSD, psilocybin and cannabis gave me access to my musical loving self and I became a big fan of grunge music ( Stone Temple Pilots, Pearl Jam, Nirvana, Soundgarden, Tool), then punk ( No FX, Bad Religion, Pennywise ), industrial music (Nine Inch Nails, prick, Stabbing westward, Kmfdm ) and Trip Hop ( Tricky, Sneaker Pimps, Massive Attack).

I then discovered Raves and electronic ( Techno ) music in 1996 and started to really appreciate this genre a lot more for its really powerful sounds and beats. I started to listen to Bjork, Crystal Method, Fluke and also lots of DJs around the world.

I am a computer programmer so also in the late 90’s, I discovered Scream Tracker, an old music production program that made me love to create songs with a computer. Back then, the possibilities where a bit limited so I stopped pretty fast and forgot about music production for 20 years.

Last December, I got a new Iphone 6s. I then discovered Garageband and was so impressed with it that I started creating new tracks again. This was really just for fun at first, but the results were better that I expected and everybody around me liked the music I produced. So I decided to go all in and promote myself on the web. I now have a Soundcloud and Bandcamp page, I’m also on spotify, ITunes and all major retailers! I am creating at a frantic pace and am constantly challenging myself with collaborations and new projects!

I have now more then 400 tracks and counting in 18 months. Most are Techno, trance, House and Dark Electro but I am experimenting in a lot of other styles ( Dubstep, Ambient, Chill, Drum & Bass, etc.). I have truly found myself a passion and this really fills a hole in the creative part of myself. I am so thrilled to create music that I love and I want to share it to the world so others can peak into my soul and creative mind Happy listening
