MUSHROOM Valley are bringing a boost of techno, progressive and psytrance to Airlie Beach this Friday.

Renowned artists Pakman, Tekka and Smiggle will have you jumping into the holiday season with beats guaranteed to amp-up your Friday night.

Headlining Mama Africa's Underground Safari extravaganza will be the lord of psytrance DJ Pakman.

The Australian representative for 24/7 records Patty, aka Pakman, was introduced to electronic music through the Melbourne rave scene in 2000 and picked up psytrance shortly after.

Falling in love with the genre Pakman became a familiar face from the Melbourne club and bush doof scene.

He's also become a regular addition to Australia's most prominent festivals, blasting epic sets across some of Australia's biggest outdoor festivals.

With a developed ear from working years at the craft, Patty has tuned both his skills and sound to a level that keeps his sets fresh, intelligent and unique.

His taste of music stretches over a variety of styles from full-on night psychedelic and progressive trance.

Backing up Pakman on Friday night at Mama's will be Mushroom Valley Festival regular Smiggle.

Smiggle is the DJ persona of Ben Irving. As a promoter, and appreciator of all types of music, the key word for this fun-loving tune spinner is diversity.

In the past 12 years this cheeky character has played Mushroom Valley and Happy Daze and he now runs the Subterrain Stage at Earth Frequency.
