Great new track from danish artist Kristian Thinning Andersen (here working under his oldschooler alias Elysium). It is part of a very beautiful chill-out compilation called Solar System which recently was released for free. You can find it through Ektoplazm available for download HERE. The style of the track Jupiter is hard to describe since its very trancy, flirts with goa, but is still techno-ish. You could probably not play it in a chill although I might try :D
Cosmotech (or Cosmo Tech I still haven´t figured out which spelling is the correct one) is Yuri Valencio from Brasilia, Brasil. Yuri is a musician since turning 6, when he started to play
classical piano and drums. When playing live, Yuri usually plays e-drum Roland SPD-20 and
synths, adding some improvisations on the tracks. Ever since hearing him for the first time I have though he has created a very interested and personal sound, I have followed his music ever since. This 4-track EP (that was released by Catalyst records in May) contains more conventional psy-trance but you can still hear Yuri using special sounds and ideas when creating his music, that makes his work stand out and make it more personal. This is especially true in track nr.3, Innerspace Traveller which currently is my favourite with really crunchy metallic sounds. Another favourite of mine is nr.2 The Present Day with a nice goa etch to it.
"The sun is our primary source of energy. Its power is beyond our
understanding yet it is a crucial part of our lives and evolution. It
affects everything from space weather to climate on earth. This EP was
created to cause disruptions in acoustic weather and mental frequencies."
Here is a very nice mix delivered by Tetrasound from Bristol, UK. It is a 90 minutes mix balancing between full-on and psychedelic trance, very driven and catchy, but not cheesy in any way. The mixing is not flawless, sometimes it takes a while before the exact beat is found, but this DJ still manages to keep a nice flow to it, and you don´t mind that much cause the tracks fit very well together and the set is built very nicely. I would love to see a track-list, cause quite a few of the pieces I wouldn´t mind playing myself, but alas there isn´t one.
Tetrasound is Grzegorz Augustyn, born in Poland in 1983 in Lubin, but for the last 7 years he has been living in Bristol UK. He has been djing for 13 years, starting from House music but then quickly realising that he
needs something more powerful and energetic he found techno. After couple of years
Greg discovered trance sounds and fell in love, in the beginning playing
techtrance and progresive trance. Shortly after having moved to the the UK he came to a Tribe Of Frog party, and feeling reborn buy the amazing place, people and music decided to devote his life to mixing psyt-trance. Greg has then been
lucky enough to be invited to play at Tribe of Frog on several
occasions ,some summer gatherings for Tribe Of Frog, played as well for
Acidic SS, and legendary Toadstool where he got his residence
status.
We´re gonna have a good time - we´re gonna have a party"
Boom! New track by TIP label-DJ Lucas appearing on a new compilation from Hadra - Resistrance - a double-cd filled with lots of goodies. The track - Mind Of Its Own - follows the footsteps from previous Lucas releases, in being very psychedelic - in a UK style of way (think Tristan, Avalon, etc.) but at the same keeping the melodic perspective and incorporating a touch of oldschool Goa sound. I always liked this kind of music, actually its close to my favourite sound, thus this track I will proudly play for the dancing crowd this summer; again and again and again...

Alchemist is a dj from Leuven, Belgium. This chill-mix was released about 1 month ago and is filled with mellow, beautiful tracks. Alchemist mixes various genres; psydub, psychill with more melodic down-tempo stuff, and it something very nice to have in the background whilst contemplating on other stuff. Enjoy, and thanks to the artist!
