6362Metaforce announced the opening of their digital psy marketplace. The site will also serve as their home and showcase on the net.
The goa-style digital bazaar debuted with a collection of leather accessories and trance CDs. Jewelry is promised next, with the eventual goal of being a full goa-style marketplace for ‘family’ artists in the global psy village.
Co-founder Rachel writes, “…We’ve worked for 8 months to create this portal. The music, art, clothing, jewelry and accessories featured here come from artists around the globe, and all have been specially chosen for their high quality and unique creative essence – but also because of the purity of the souls who created them.”
The recent release of Metaforce Record’s first compliation shows that the husband-and-wife team at the heart of Metaforce are a potent business engine. We wish them luck in their new tribal enterprises.
