Spanda
Spanda is a solo progressive project that has evolved over many years and stays true to it’s definition. The name Spanda draws from the principle by which the universe beats like a cosmic heart and is the divine vibration of pure consciousness and creation.
The man behind this creation, Hugo Peterson, began twiddling (plastic) knobs and performing live electronic music in the late 90’s. After moving to Melbourne, Victoria in the year 2000 he rapidly became a part of the world renowned Australian outdoor festival scene. Before long his skills as a DJ and Sound Engineer found him integrated into the Melbourne Psy scene where he has continued to play the big festivals, including Earthcore, Rainbow Serpent Festival and Maitreya and other intimate gatherings. Now influenced by life in the beautiful hinterlands of Byron bay Spanda continues to evolve…
Over the years, many of his productions have gained momentum, while others have grown more spacious and relaxed such as current chill project ‘Magic Feeling’. Spanda has definitely gained momentum, and is an uplifting experience that delivers you into the deep flow of universal vibrations through velvety smooth psychedelic progressive sounds and powerful pulsating basslines.
Having a keen interest in the relationship of healing and the energetic nature of life, fine-tuned frequency has long been an integral part of Hugo’s quest. He uses cosmic tunings such as cycles of planets, the Earth’s revolution and orbit and universal syncopations, in conjunction with chakra balancing intonations and feeling natured rhythms. Get ready to move with the Spanda grooving, silky smooth sounds of the universe on a stomping big quality sound system near you.

Chill Releases and Live Performances
Hugo began twiddling (plastic) knobs and performing live electronic music in the late 90’s. He moved to Melbourne, Australia in the year 2000 to become a part of Melbourne’s amazing outdoor festival scene. Before long his skills as a DJ and Sound Engineer had him integrated with the Melbourne scene where he has continued to play the big festivals, including Earthcore, Rainbow Serpent Festival, Maitreya and other intimate gatherings. Now influenced by life in the beautiful hinterlands of Byron bay Magic Feeling continues to evolve…
Over the years, many of his productions have gained momentum and others have grown more spacious and relaxed. Magic Feeling is definitely on the spacious and relaxed side. From a production point of view, Hugo really enjoys playing with slower tempos as the space between the sounds opens up new realms of sound experience and gives the listener time to enjoy the fullness of the sound envelope. You may find your hips and ass begin to precipitate multidirectional movement in a non demanding fashion while your ears pleasurably attune to rich and refined sound infusions.
With a keen interest in the healing nature of life, tuned frequency has long been an integral part of Hugo’s quest. He uses Cosmic tunings such as cycles of planets, the Earth’s revolution and orbit and Universal syncopations in conjunction with Chakra balancing intonations and feeling based rhythms. Magic Feeling should be heard and felt rather than described so load up your iPhone with his next concert date and come feel the magic…
