Yonagual - Journey To Ixtlan

A groovy minimal "Zenonsque" journey by one of the Zenon label Djs - Yonagual. His real name is Joona Hermansson and he is from Espoo, Finland. On his soundcloud there are many more mixes with similar style of music.

Yonagual, discovered psychedelic trance in 2008 and instantly developed a passion for it. He plays a deep, dancefloor-friendly progressive sound, fitting both nights and days alike. He is very active in the party scene in his home country, and has also performed in other countries around Europe and Russia. Joona is also the co-founder of the party organizing crew 7th Heaven Lab, bringing artists around the world to their events in Finland. His wish is "to travel far and wide to spread the music and ultimately hold the galaxy in a iron grip of everlasting grooviness". This summer he is playing at Tangra Eco Art Dance Festival in Bulgaria on June 20 -24th.

Goadream - Equinox 2012 TOUCH Samadhi

This mix for me, is a perfect example of a great late night/morning set. It contains wicked, crunchy twisted psytrance, with some more melodic touches. The entity behind the decks goes under the name Goadream, and it was recorded at the annual Touch Samadhi Equinox fall festival in 2012.

Jacob Goadream got into electronic music in the early 90’s when he attended some of the first warehouse parties in Houston, Texas. In 2000 he was introduced to the wonderful world of psy-trance through and when he there after moved to the Carolinas he discovered the T.O.U.C.H. Samadhi Collective. "Their truly magical gatherings at Deerfields throughly split [my] third eye wide open with a psychedelic hammer!" 

Tracklist:

Progress - Forest Technology
Yab Yum - Synthetic Ethnic
Southwild vs Ajja - Maple Styrups
EVP & Onkel Dunkel - Ancient Monuments
Ianuaria - Native (2002)

Yudhisthira - Spiritual Entity

Dreamstalker - Digital Illusions

Dreamstalker is Nikita Stalker from Crimea, which is an autonomous republic within Ukraine. Early 2012, he released his first album called "Eclectronica" for free through Ektoplazm and it received very good feedback. This, his second album - Digital Illusions was released digitally on Altar Records in December 2012.

This album came as a surprise for me since I never heard about the artist before, but it was a pleasant surprise. I found it to be the perfect mix of downbeat and more floaty chill. It is very moody and spreads a very nice vibe; it is melodic, well produced and dreamy. For me it is for sure one of the best chill-albums to be released in a long time.

" Loaded with arcane symbolism, intricate aural tricks and dense layers of meaning, Digital Illusions manages to retain a harmonic warmth and rhythmic sensibility."

Nukleall - Wormholes Activation

Melodic mellow morning-psychedelics. Give me sunrise/early morning on a packed festival-dancefloor and a beer in my hand. Damn dark season with pissing rain and cold and shit. Anyway. This is good shit!

This song appears on the album by Nukleall called "Hundreds of Years into the Future", and it was released on Blacklite Records in November last year. So it is still pretty new and I don´t think it has gotten the attention it deserves. It is a well-crafted album, very well produced and the more you listen to it, the more it sticks. I hope to catch Nukleall live very soon. It would be such an experience, I´m sure.

Nukleall is Ale Mistretta from Turin, Italy. He also manages Blacklite Records as well as being the sound engineer for Blacklite Studio. His first contact with psytrance came when visiting London for the first time in 1996. He started DJing in 2001 and music production in 2006. He is also working with other artists on 4 different psytrance projects: Junesix, Ghost Signal, Barkode and Rack Riders. Tracks by them have been released by several international music labels nowadays. Nukleall's style can be defined as morning psytrance music with a fat and groovy dancing vein, tightly balanced with a strong psychedelic atmosphere. For more info and music check out his soundcloud below.

Va - Druids Gathering

This compilation was released in September by Liquid Tune records. It is full with lovely dark and forest music with artists contributing from many parts of the world and available for free here. It was compiled by Therange Freak, mastered by Petran and the cover is made by Shiva3. The latter´s track is one my favorites of this release.


If you like this track, Shiva3 has recently released a full-length album on Space Baby Records called Full Story. I am sure it is worth while to check out. Other excellent tracks on Druid Gathering are the contributions by Gorm, Therange Freak, Paganopath and Fractal Error. I am sure many forest-freaks out-here will love this compilation, I know I do =)
