ITAL

Ital is Daniel Carcur Arredondo, a musician, sound engineer, producer of Psytrance music and DJ of Chilean origin. He has been involved in the musical world for many years, beginning his career as a guitar player, progressing through several styles of popular music, until he arrived at his true passion: Psychedelic trance music.
In 2001 along with his friend Andrés Rodillo he began to get involved in the production of Psytrance, forming one of the pioneering projects of the local scene: “Metatron”. Experimenting with samplers, synthesizers and audio software allowed them to introduce themselves to the electronic world, playing live with great success in different places throughout Chile. Three years later, in 2004, he decided to create his solo project, “ITAL”. Ital means purity in Patois African dialect and he describes his production as having this as it’s fundamental concept, “to expand all the purity that surrounds us, channelling all this divine and universal energy through music so that it may be projected as sound waves towards our surrounding universe”.

Ital has a predominantly Morning Full On style with a twist of his own character, full of atmosphere, metallic sounds and a lot of psychedelia. His years of musical experience and experimentation have allowed him to play at some of the most important events in his home country, Chile, and also in some of the greatest festivals world-wide including Universo Paralello # 5 & # 7, Tranceformation 2004, Fora do tempo, Amazontribe and Earthdance. He has played alongside big name projects from the national and international trance scene including:
Zen mechanics (Neurobiotic Recs - IT), Headroom (Nano Recs - RSA), Flip Flop (Alchemy Recs - UK), Protoculture (Nano Recs - RSA), Tristan (Nano Recs - UK), Dickster (Nano Recs - UK), The First Stone (Vagalume Recs - BR), Wrecked machines (Spun Recs - BR), Talamasca (3D vision Recs - FR), Rinkadink (Alchemy Recs -RSA), M-theory (Alchemy Recs / Free-Spirit Recs – IT/UK), Ace Ventura (Hommega-IS), among others….

Ital has released tracks on several compilations over the years though various labels including Enzyme, Morphonic, Moonsun, Freeze magazine, Yellow Sunshine Explosion, Planet Ben, Kadgila and Indra. In September 2007 he began the first Chilean Psytrance label, Antu Records. The name Antu was chosen as it comes from the indigenous Chilean meaning Sun as the purpose behind the label is to expand the light and divine energy all over the world through Psytrance music, to connect ourselves with our roots and feel our hearts full of spiritual healing. Ital is currently working on his first solo album due for release in March 2008 on Antu Records.
