Killerwatts is a heavyweight collaboration between two of the most prominent figures in the global psychedelic trance scene: Tristan (Tristan Cooke) and Avalon (Leon Kane). Both artists are cornerstones of the Nano Records roster, and their joint project represents a synthesis of their individual strengths.
Tristan brings decades of experience in crafting deep, driving psychedelic rhythms, while Avalon contributes his signature high-energy, melodic 'Full On' sensibility. Together, they have defined the 'Nano sound' - a style of psytrance that prioritizes high-production values, massive scale, and a relentless 140-145 BPM drive. Their work is characterized by the use of complex FM synthesis, liquid-filtered leads, and carefully manipulated vocal samples that touch on themes of consciousness and time. Critically, they are viewed as torchbearers for the genre, maintaining its psychedelic roots while pushing technical boundaries. Their influence is felt across the global festival circuit, from Boom to Ozora, where their sets are considered essential peak-time experiences.
