Vertical is the internationally established psytrance project of Joonas Lehtinen from Finland. The project saw daylight around 2007 and after few years of working on the sound and sending demos, he caught the interest of Giuseppe from Parvati Records. This was a big turning point in Joonas’ life and with the new motivation he started to work on more material for his track repertoire.

Soon after his debut appearance on a Parvati compilation in 2009 he played his first gig outside Finland in Marseille (France) in the new year 2010. With the help of Parvati Records and guest appearances on other Labels he started to get more bookings in many legendary events and to grow a bigger fanbase in the scene.

During the past years he has performed across Europe, Brazil, Japan, India and USA from club events to big festivals (Ozora, Hadra, Modem and Soulvision to name just a few).

Vertical music is known for it’s wide spectrum of styles and moods, never really staying in one formula but aiming to push the boundaries of psytrance with his signature sound and new ideas.

Vertical is also making presets for various virtual synths: Vertical Sounds-presets
