BIOGRAPHY 2009
Genre-warping electronic music adventurer Wippenberg (a.k.a. Olaf Dieckmann) has been supplying the worlds dancefloors with audio titans for close to 15 years. Most recently renowned for his productions including the neo-classic Chakalaka, Drumster, and his Wippenberg presents Sphaera releases Front & Back, his music hazes the multiple boundaries of house, electro, trance and techno. This unique composite electronic blend is now spun by the widest imaginable cross-section of DJs Hes championed as much by Eric Prydz, Angelo & Ingrosso, Tocadisco and Pete Tong in 2009, as he is by Tiësto and Armin Van Buuren. This casts Wippenberg as one of, if not, the most diverse DJ/producer in todays EDM universe. In 2004 Olaf released the two Elemental EPs, which included the tracks Fire, Water, Earth and Air. They drew strong support from the highest echelons of the DJ hierarchy and pushed the Wippenberg name firmly into the headlines. The EPs release prompted close associates Cosmic Gate to collaborate with Dieckmann on their Earth Mover album with the track Guess Who. Around the same time Olaf completed work on his next single Promised Land, and with it came a new label relationship with Dutch heavyweight independent High Contrast Records. The track (which featured the vocals of Tiff Lacey and was remixed by Nic Chagall) beat the drum hard for what was to prove Olafs renaissance record. In 2008 Chakalaka (partnered by the B-side Drumster) exploded into the clubbing consciousness, thanks in no small part to major 3 month-long floor and radio hammering from Tiësto and Armin Van Buuren. As was always Olafs desire the tracks started to chip away at the stylistic borders of dance and came to enjoy heavy deck support from Angello & Ingrosso, Eric Prydz, Eric Morillo and Dirty South, amongst a multitude of others. The track maintained a grip on the No.1 chart position on Beatport for an incredible 12 weeks. Late that year and branching further out still, Olaf launched a new nom-de-plume Sphaera. The tracks Front & Back were released on Tiëstos Black Hole Records to, once again, broad DJ acclaim.

The picture used is a close-up of Ketamine crystals.
Ketamine is a dissociative anaesthetic, developed in the mid 1960's, used primarily for veterinary anaesthesiology. Although Ketamine is not used medically on humans much because it induces psychedelic episodes in patients, it is still used for some limited human applications because it does not depress breathing or circulation.
Ketamine is used recreationally primarily as a snorted white powder and for therapeutic and psychedelic use it is often injected intra-muscularly (IM). Its effects range (at lower doses) from mild inebriation, dreamy thinking, stumbling, clumsy, or 'robotic' movement, delayed or reduced sensations, vertigo, sometimes erotic feelings, increased sociability, and an interesting sense of seeing the world differently to (at higher doses) extreme difficulty moving, nausea, complete dissociation, entering complete other realities, classic Near Death Experiences (NDEs), compelling visions, black outs, etc. Ketamine is also known for being more psychologically addictive / compelling than most psychedelics and it is not uncommon to hear of users who take it once or more daily.
Effects
POSITIVE * Pleasant mental and/or body high * Increase in energy * Euphoria * Sense of calm and serenity * Meaningful spiritual experiences * Enhanced sense of connection with the world (beings or objects)
NEUTRAL (may be experienced as positive, negative or neutral depending on circumstance) * Distortion or loss of sensory perceptions (common) * Open- and closed-eye visuals (common) * Dissociation of mind from body * Analgesia, numbness * Ataxia (loss of motor coordination) * Loss of time perception * Increase in heart rate * Slurred speech * Confusion, disorientation * Out-of-body experience * Shifts in perception of reality * "K-hole"; intense mind-body dissociation, out-of-body experiences, highly realistic visuals
NEGATIVE (negative side effects increase with higher doses and frequent use) * Risk of psychological dependency * Nasal discomfort upon insufflation * Discomfort, pain or numbness at injection site (with IM) * Severe confusion, disorganised thinking * Paranoia and egocentrism (with regular use) * Nausea, vomiting * Frightening or untimely distortion or loss of sensory perception * Susceptibility to accidents (from uncoordination and change in perception of body and time) * Severe dissociation, depersonalisation * Loss of consciousness * Depression of heart rate and respiration (risk increases with increased dose or when combined with depressants)
