Psio Crew was founded in 2004 in Bielsko-Biała by Maciej “Kamer” Szymonowicz and Mateusz “Gooral” Górny. The artists were the first to boldly combine traditional highlander music from the Żywiec, Mały, and Silesian Beskids with modern styles such as hip-hop, drum and bass, trip hop, nu jazz, dub, and ragga. Their debut album Szumi Jawor Soundsystem (2007) became a groundbreaking release, capturing the hearts of both audiences and critics. They were also the first musical crew to blend pastoral singing with beatboxing and highlander dance with breakdance, redefining the folk genre in bold, fresh terms.
For over 15 years, Gooral has fearlessly experimented with the explosive fusion of club music and highlander soul. He has performed over 1,000 concerts in 20 countries, including at Opener, Sziget, Woodstock, Audioriver, Colours of Ostrava, and Exit Festival. His accomplishments include five studio albums, a bestselling DVD with Mazowsze, numerous awards (including Machiner for Best Debut, Fryderyk nominations, Nowa Tradycja honors), and original music for theater and film (Krakowiacy i Górale, South). His 2020 album Ethno Elektro 2, released by SP Records, features two discs—Fusion and Wolno. The latter explores subtle downtempo oriental landscapes, earning international recognition (e.g. the track “Krywaniu” featured on Bar 25’s Sirin Vol.6 compilation).
