about
Kalumet (Zoltan Vajda) started his musical career in 1993 as a bass player in a school band. One year later he attended his first electronic dance party and his interests turned toward contemporary electronic music. When his band splitted up, he got a computer and started to create his own sounds with acoustic and electronic instruments such as guitars, percussions, synths, and of course the computer. His first tracks were trance, dub, breakbeat and jazzy jungle tunes. In the same time he and his friends founded a party promoter and dj collective project called Alapzaj (Basic Noise). The group was a significant point in the underground techno scene of Budapest. The firstly released track (a remix of the famous Hungarian band, Korai Öröm, 1998) was soon followed by others on several compilations. By this time he had deepened in psychedelic trance and concentrated on producing quality psychedelic music. In 2000 he gave his first live act in an open air party in Hungary, in the same year he released a dub track on the first professional label, Chi Recordings. In the next year he went to Austria to play his first performance abroad. His unique style was highly appreciated so he became a well-known artist in Hungary. More and more realeses and gigs came, and that time he realised that making musical fusions are the most important things in creating new sounds so he started to mix genres in a tasty manner. His first international big success was his live act on legend
