It was in Riktam <strong>and</strong> Bansi‘s first studio on their<br />
mother‘s houseboat in Amsterdam, that the Dutch<br />
youngsters <strong>and</strong> an old gentleman from Chicago<br />
started making music together. It was then in<br />
2000, that some very special magical drops helped<br />
bond them with their party partner Raja Ram. It‘s<br />
a funny quartet, the former teenage Psy-stars <strong>and</strong><br />
the seasoned gangsters of love in one project: GMS<br />
vs Chicago vs TIP‘s soul = 1200 Mics. They tour the<br />
planet to rock the house, they travel as much as<br />
possible <strong>and</strong> sometimes they combine their talents<br />
to create a single track in no more than 48 hours.<br />
Some say they are brilliant entertainers, some say<br />
they are the Gods of Psy Trance, some say they<br />
are beings from outer<br />
space. I believe it‘s safe<br />
to say that they play<br />
at a different level, so<br />
they deserve some special<br />
questions. Chicago<br />
did the honours...<br />
The project name<br />
<strong>and</strong> lot of track titles<br />
suggest Psy Trance is<br />
all about drugs. Are<br />
you sure?<br />
No, we don‘t think<br />
Trance is all about drugs!<br />
But it IS about getting<br />
high ... high on the<br />
music ... <strong>and</strong> high on dancing to it. And we all know<br />
that in every club, regardless of what kind of music it is,<br />
many people are on drugs. They find it opens their senses,<br />
the aural appreciation of the music is intensified,<br />
<strong>and</strong> their euphoria in dancing to it is increased.<br />
We in 1200 Mics are interested in opening our minds,<br />
<strong>and</strong> in exp<strong>and</strong>ing our consciousness ... in exploring<br />
pics www.solstice23.com (1), www.tipworld.co.uk (8)<br />
new dimensions that aren‘t normally experienced by<br />
our 5 senses, <strong>and</strong> within normal reality. But these other<br />
dimensions can be accessed. Drugs can help us see<br />
<strong>and</strong> perceive new ideas <strong>and</strong> thoughts about what is<br />
important in life, helping to send us in new <strong>and</strong> better<br />
directions. I certainly know my life has been changed,<br />
improved, <strong>and</strong> enhanced thru the use of these consciousness-exp<strong>and</strong>ing<br />
drugs ... <strong>and</strong> many other people<br />
have told me that they too have had dramatic changes<br />
in their lives <strong>and</strong> their life‘s directions, thru using them<br />
... Please bare in mind that we concentrate on only the<br />
mind-exp<strong>and</strong>ing drugs, which are dedicated to personal<br />
growth, <strong>and</strong> to being high, not low ...<br />
Trance music has also played a big part in this. We hope<br />
that our music makes<br />
people high in this<br />
unique <strong>and</strong> special<br />
way ... to touch the<br />
spirits of the listener,<br />
hopefully to help<br />
release their minds<br />
<strong>and</strong> souls potential...<br />
<strong>and</strong> sometimes even<br />
touch their hearts. It<br />
is very powerful, as<br />
many have told us<br />
with strong enthusiasm.<br />
It was only our<br />
first album which<br />
Raja Ram pic www.psychedelic.ru focused on these<br />
consciousness-exp<strong>and</strong>ing<br />
drugs. Our second was all about the amazing, fantastic<br />
inventions <strong>and</strong> their inventors <strong>and</strong> the third uses<br />
the vehicle of The Time Machine, to take us thru time ...<br />
even rocking into the future ... So we are definitely not<br />
focussed only on drugs ... but we ARE focused always<br />
on getting high, on our minds <strong>and</strong> spirits being opened<br />
to the higher levels.<br />
