Planet Child and Zguby came together in the summer of 2008 and is a mixture of an electro-trance Dj meeting an Eastern European singer, combining live Dj-ing with visuals, adrenaline pumping beats, positive new age and tribal indigenous music. Involved in the conscious evolution of planet earth and recognizing themselves as being part of the indigo children generation, they decided to collaborate to create music that will trigger people into change. Mixing spoken words, live vocals, original music along with the best trends of dance music and rock guitar metallic sounds, they write songs about our times, our planet, extraterrestrials, indigo children, love and peace. Although at the beginning of their journey, they hope their vision and message will create a shift in the universal mentality and a new path for people to follow and raise their inner frequency.
