groupsanity
groupSanity was founded by Dylan Knightley and Nick Sunchild. Dylan started at an early age with a Roland synthesizer. It was a whole new experience to create new strings, pads, and bass-lines.
Sure Dylan loves to play piano, but the synthesizer allowed him to expand his musical skills. From this moment on, it was sure that music would always be a part of his life.
Nick started at an early age like Dylan with electronica and PCs. Several apprenticeships in Metal, radio engineering and the IT Industry could not satisfy his knowledge thirst and creativity. He developed his passion for electronic music when he was 6 years old when he got a KraftWerk music cassette, leaving a mark through his life.
Coincidence or fate led the two to the Street parade in Zurich, Switzerland in the summer 2002. It was a rainy day, but a crowd of wet 650000 party people were celebrating, while Nick discovered Dylan in the dancing masses. Surprised, they looked at themselves and continued to celebrate on the Streetparade.
Later, on the Energy 02 in the big fantastic Hall, they were both talking about the development of the music scene. These were the first steps toward groupSanity.
In the same year, they were again on stage for their first live-act. The facets of their life and meeting are reflected in the way of their Interpretation of Trance and Techno music. Trance and Techno has become their identification and life attitude. The trance scene and music formed their identity.
Trance is not a music direction. Trance has become a way of life!
