X-Dream

X-Dream are Marcus Christopher Maichel (born May 1968) and Jan Müller (born February 1970); they are also known as Rough and Rush. They are some of the cult hit producers of psychedelic trance music and hail from Hamburg, Germany.

The latest X-Dream album, We Interface, includes vocals from American singer Ariel Electron.

First work

Muller was educated as a sound engineer. Maichel was a musician familiar with techno and reggae, and was already making electronic music in 1986. In 1989 the pair first met when Marcus was having problems with his PC and someone sent Jan to help fix it. That same year they teamed up to work on a session together. Their first work concentrated on a sound similar to techno with some hip hop elements which got some material released on Tunnel Records.

Trance

During the early 1990s they were first introduced to the trance scene in Hamburg and decided to switch their music to this genre. From 1993 they began releasing several singles on the Hamburg label Tunnel Records, as X-Dream and under many aliases, such as The Pollinator. Two albums followed on Tunnel Records, Trip To Trancesylvania and We Created Our Own Happiness, which were much closer to the original formula of psychedelic trance, although featuring the unmistakable "trippy" early X-Dream sound.

Palma (name)

Palma is both a surname and a given name. Notable people with the name include:

Palma, district of Santa Maria

Palma ("palm") is a district of the municipality of Santa Maria in the Brazilian state of Rio Grande do Sul. It is situated in north-eastern Santa Maria. The district's seat is located in its geographic center, 23 km (14,59 miles) from Downtown Santa Maria.

The district was created in December 17, 1997.

The district of Palma occupies an area of 95.18 km² that is equivalent to 5.31% of the municipality of Santa Maria that is 1791,65 km².

History

In 1997, Santa Maria lost areas with the emancipations occurring in the then districts of Itaara and Dilermando de Aguiar.

At that time, Santa Maria was being administrated by Mayor Oswaldo Nascimento of Brazilian Labour Party, who was in his second mandate. It was then that the inhabitants of the current district came together and through a peoples petition with 280 signatures, vindicated the creation of the district.

The peoples main argument was negligence from the City hall of the locality, because the City hall had not furnished the district any type of assistance. The City hall accepted the creation of this district, in that it had separated from the district of Arroio do Só, in a portion east, and from the district of Arroio Grande in a portion west.
