Our Roots

THE VISION

 

From the second your alarm rings to the moment you go back to sleep, you are trapped in a property lined, artificially constructed, over-marketed, micro-managed rat race. You are attempting to be something that your external environment makes you believe you must be. You aspire to be someone of value, according to societies artificial standards. It is only when you close your eyes do you get the opportunity to dream about possibilities of a world with total freedom from external manipulation. Now you finally have the opportunity to dream with one eye open. You finally get to escape into a world that will free your spirit, relax your body, and Unravel Your Mind!
Unravel Your Mind Productions was started to spark artistic entertainment in the So Cal area. The company focuses on putting together an unfathomably exotic access to all of your visually and auditory artistic pleasures. We are focused on creating a fusion of the senses at every event, incorporating art, music, and an awesome environment; to fulfill Southern California’s entertainment needs.

 

Yan Katz – Director, Guru, Shaman

 

From deep in the bowels of Cold War Moscow, Yan was drawn by the drums like a lost shaman. Emigrating to Long Beach at a young age he was induced by

subterranean sounds to resonate their sonic gospel. He became entranced by large scale vibrational phenomenon such as Lightning In A Bottle, Coachella and many other plains of visual and aural transcendentalism. It was then that he understood his mission – to awaken the mind and spirit of humanity with love and vibrations.

Drew Drucker – Director of Arts and Music

Commissioned by Yan to head artistic/musical direction for the operation, Andrew Drucker is a regular Renaissance Man of all things musical. This startling well of creativity was conceived locally in Long Beach and was already deeply entrenched in the music business by the time he escaped high school. As producer and resident engineer with the Paramount Recording Group, Drucker has enabled countless artists to realize their full potential, in addition to helming many projects himself, including our featured group, Black Market Music Brokers (BMMB).

 

 

Josh Berg – Sr. Editor, Miscellaneous Visionary

Writer, Engineer, Artist, Sociologist, Beard Expert, and Spiritual Guru – Josh Berg is never completely there…. On permanent vacation from his native Chicago, he consults on all things tangible and intangible. Residing in a posh North Long Beach garage, Mr. Berg spends his time experimenting with musical irrelevance, harmonizing with the universe, tending community gardens, and relaxing with his thoughts.

You awake at the sound of the bell, you can feel the vibrations before you hear them. They beckon you to come closer, to become one with the drum, to build a fire and dance around it. The pulse quickens, the sweat pours, you transcend time and space.
