Adam
Thai based producer and part of the
famed Half Moon parties Tripical, has just
dropped a wonderful EP on All Records.
The „Retreat“ Ep features two great
tracks both groovy as a Koh Phangan
sunset and spicy as a good Tom Yum. Tripical
has found a nice balance between
Psy with a Prog feel. Quality production
with a sound to listen out for.
Vagalume Records really is headed by
of some of my favorite people on the
planet and they do Brazil proud with their
great vibes.
Swarup‘s Brain (one of the head honchos
at the amazing Universo Parallello
and one of Brazil’s original Psy DJ‘s) has
just dropped a 5 track EP ON Vagalume
which includes three originals, a remix
from Brazilian master groover Burn in
Noise and a collaboration with stompy
electro-edged Logica (Swarups own sons)
makes for a very strong release, that
should be in your bag or hard-drive.
Spun Records jumps back on the block
with a compilation from Brian Sentient.
Featuring a few of the classic Spun
acts and a good helping of some of the
hottest acts of the moment. GMS vs
Absolum, Sonic Species, Chromatone,
Tristan, Earthling vs Mad Max, Broken
Toy, Headroom, Poli vs Brian Sentient,
and a GMS remix of GMS vs Astrix
all weigh in with some big blasting tunes,
are sure to rock us crazy for the weeks to
come! Nice to see Spun doing the business
once more, and we can expect much
more blasting creations from them in the
future once again.
Hommega have started pushing hard on
the digital frontier with monthly podcasts
coming from Astrix, and EPs lining up.
Domestic and Sub 6 both have EPs out.
Domestic showing once again why he is
so respected amongst the producer fraternity
& loved by the dancefloor, while
Sub 6 show off some mammoth glistening
tunes, that definitely have an air of
showmanship to them. Sub 6‘s ‚Aint No
Disco‘ Ep features collabs with GMS, Animalis
and a remix together with Freedom
Fighter of Italian prog star Liquid Soul.
‚The Earthlings Ep‘ from Free Spirit
Records features tracks from Solar Spectrum
and Omsphere (and has nothing
to do with ‚Earthling/Celli‘ the artist).
Jay Om at Free Spirit has been pioneering
his sound and that of his artists
for a good while, and steadily their
sound has been gaining more defined
character & support. Good vibes always
carry through and these guys, are bursting
with them!
...Have I mentioned Antu yet ? This label
really is coming up with some interesting
stuff, which has definitely been
needed with so much copy-cat production
& lame miss-fired attempts at hitmaking
coming from many corners of
Psy. They have a new Ep out ‚Love is
All‘, which I have not checked out yet, so
maybe let me know your thoughts about
it, (or anything else for that matter).
Keep it up Antu!
Having gained recognition & a major fan
base by playing at some of South Africa‘s
best and most loved trance parties in
the past few years, Static Flow has just
released his first EP on Nano Records
‚Subconscious Safari‘. It has been amazing
to see it sky rocket to the top of the
digi-charts, no mean feat for such a new
name to the roster. Looking forward to
some wonderful beats from this guy, as
he strengthens his already excellent production
and songwriting skills.
Please email me links to new releases,
press releases and general Psy Trance
news to report about, and doesn‘t need
to be just released based either. See you
in UK and Europe this summer ;)
