Zoltan Vajda (Kalumet aka Trevor McGregor aka Soundokan aka Ork Monk) has been walking on the electronic music road since 1994, when acid parties started to spread in Budapest.
His music career began some years before, when playing bass in a band, but soon his interest turned to electronic dance music. With the help of a computer and many instruments (guitars, keyboards, percussions, etc.) he started to create his own tracks.
In the first year of the new Millenium he gave his first live act on an outdoor trance party. That was the period of the Hungarian trance-boom. Other gigs and releases followed with huge success and he became one of the most significant producers of the local scene. Soon he found himself as a standard tool of dancefloors and chill out areas, as the audience much appreciated his characteristic style, that has always been a fusion of many genres.
Since 2002 he has regularly played abroad. But the highlight definitely was Boom Festival in 2004, with an unforgettable live set on the first morning, on the ambient stage.
Coming back from Portugal he got the idea to run other projects with different alteregos, so Trevor McGregor (techno), Ork Monk (hard psy) and Soundokan (minimal experitech) were born step by step.
His debut album (Kalumet: Burlesque) was released in 2009 by Halu Beats Records, sublabel of Psylife Music, owned by world famous psy-trance producer, Para Halu.
The second album called 'One Inch Punch' was released by Random Records, as a part of a benefit project. The income goes to an indigenious Indonesian tribe, the Mentawai.
