Russian label, Vertigo Records is currently one of my favorite psy-labels, and has a lot of new stuff brewing at the moment. It was founded in Moscow, Russia in 2004 by DJ Nowhereman, "in order to unfold and preserve a very special type of psychoactive music: the sort of music that gives us all a feeling of motion when everything is stationary, the sort of music that makes you fly without moving and dance like nobody is watching you."
So what´s up with releases then? Well, the 5th studio-album from O.O.O.D., is still very fresh, being released as it was in November, 2012. It is an album presenting a lot of different styles and moods, not following a specific formula. My favourites are the opening track - K.A.R.R, the one titled Inner Inca, and also last track Eye of the Beholder, made together with Ott and remixed by Sonic Species is a real treat.
Even more recently, the 5track EP Compos Mentis was released just the other day. With music from artists such as Terrafractyl, Rye Smugglers and Whoop this compilation will most definitely twist and tweak your mind.
And finally, something to really look forward to is a new album from Trold! This duo from Stavenger, Norway has created their own unique style; very melodic, and energetic, but no less psychedelic and the production is usually high-class! Listening to the snippets from the new album Time For Solutions has already convinced me, that they Trold-guys are staying true to their style, and I´m awating this album with great anticipation!
So lots of goodies already here, and more coming up. I wish Vertigo Records all the best with future release. And while we´re at the subject. Be sure not to miss label-artist Yudhisthira playing at this summer´s Tangra Festival in Bulgaria, in June. It´s sure to be a psychedelic blast-off on the dancefloor!
