Crew Members

  • Rachel Judge MIng

    Head Organizer

    Judge Ming is the head organizer/psy mama of the Matrices and Vortices crew. After gaining prominence in the Finnish underground scene, she returned back to BC and discovered the many talents of local artists. With her international psytrance experience, it has inspired her to start a underground psytrance collective “Matrices and Vortices”; bringing together a bunch of talented friends with a common passion to build a festival made out of love, 6th Dimension festival.

    She was also the mastermind behind Vancouver's monthly Algorythm: Bicycle Night, which showcases psytrance DJs of various styles. In 2021, she joined her favorite forest psy label, Vantara Vichitra Records. Her djing style can be described as deep, hypnotic soundscapes with energetic running basslines as well as sonic influences from Central Finland. So prepare for a small girl BIG sound.
