DeeperNET - Another Level

When roaming through the net the other day I stumbled across this excellent chill-song by DeeperNET. I guess you can call it psy-chill, but it also has some trancier elements and very nice melodies. The artist himself calls it a "100% original down-tempo psychedelic electronic and ambient music project". I will definitely have it on repeat for awhile! 

DeeperNET is Andrew Miles, originally from Chicago, but now living in Portland, United States. He is currently working on a new chill-album :)

Mote. - Dust Particle

"So too, in the macroscopic universe, the human is an

 infinitely small speck, a particle, a mote".

Mote. is Darren Smith from Australia, perhaps more known as Reality Pixie, his alias since 6 years when producing psytrance. This 3 track ep presents his chilly approach to music and it is free for download through ektoplazm: DOWNLOAD

First out is the title track Dust Particle which is very mellow and tentative, using instruments sounding like a classical violin and clave, on a surface of bubbly sounds and spacey floating pads. The second song Widachi has a more sad touch, with a lead reminding me of a music-box and sounds that are both glitchy and vibrating. The song is rooted thanks to a dubby baseline and some tasty broken beats. Final song is Life Is large, which starts out very dreamy with a nice high pitched melody floating around in space. After awhile the song changes direction, and in comes a nice piano, and at the same time it all becomes playful with broken beats and nice changes in rhythms with a glitchy touch. Go have a taste, you won´t regret it!

VA - Psytraveller Vol. 2

This gem was released quite a while ago (October, 2011), but if you´ve missed this free release filled with great music from all genres (45 songs (!), then here is an opportunity for me to point you in the right direction! With talented artists such as Ital, Trold, Antagon, Tsabeat, Grouch and Kino Oko, what can possible go wrong? And with with the compilation spanning so many different genres, from dark to minimal, from full-on psy to finish freestyle, there is sure something for the taste of everyone. Oh and did I mention it was free ;)

Here is the link for downloading: http://www.ektoplazm.com/free-music/psytraveller-vol-2

This album was put together by the Psytraveller crew in association with Sun Station Records. Involved in the project was producers from 45 countries and the material was carefully selected by the experienced international crew members, resulting in a three part compilation spanning more than five hours of airtime that will take listeners on a proper journey from dusk till dawn. With 52 different artists involved this is probably one of the biggest psytrance compilations to day.

Favourite-songs are: Ital - Waves of Nature; Wizack Twizack - The Real System; Jirah Vs Atum - Yin and Yang; Gido - Energija.

Yar Zaa

Yar zaa is Jose Luis Yarza from Madrid, Spain. I first got to know of his music when I heard Laberinto EP, which was released on Antu Records about half a year ago. I really like his style of psytrance -it´s pretty crunchy and twisted, not too dark or hard, but has a nice flow to it. This here song is his newest one, soon to be released on VA - Digital Frequenz.

Jose Luis Yarza started out listening to music like rock and punk-rock, but it was while he was studying in Berlin in 1998, that he began his life around electronic music in the techno party squats of that city. When he came back to Madrid in 2005 he met some groups involved in the electronic music scene, and starting to DJ seemed like the natural thing to do. He quickly became famous for his powerful sets, thus in 2006 he was invited by Tribe of frog to join the legendary fluo crew, at the same time playing a lot of the major parties on Spain. A year later, Yarza started to experiment in a home studio and create his own style of psytrance under the name of Yar zaa. Since then he has been playing on dance floors around Spain. (Al-Andalus festival, Transition Festival) and also in Portugal and Thailand (Shiva moon Party). Yar zaa has released some tracks and Eps on labels like: Antu recs, Planet Ben records, Zero Gravity records, Trance lab records, and Inner lotus records.

According to Schofield he has been a lover of music since he first discovered that he had holes in the side of his head. He likes his music in many variations including dub, ambient, downtempo, electro-acoustic, psychedelic chill, wobbly breaks, experimental, electro-folk, modern classical, field recordings, and glitch. His inspiration comes from life: "the serenity of an empty field as the sun rises, the lure and promise of the open road, waves lapping lazily against a sandy beach, back yard bbq’s, urban landscapes", and all those things he attempts to weave into his sets.

Krusseldorf - Deep into the Bowl

I´m wishing you all a very chilled-out Sunday with this magical music by Krusseldorf. If you have a slight hangover, as I do (damn you, beer, every time!) this might be the best recipe to cure it :) Oh the video is also very nicely made, and sets the perfect mood.

Krusseldorf is Simon Heath, born in Stockholm, Sweden 1977. He started his musical adventures by learning how to play the piano, but eventually wanted to create music on his own, and so he started fiddling around with an Amiga. During the years he has released a lot of different form of music under different guises, like black ambient/noise under the name Atrium Carceri and 8 albums of classical music as Za Frûmi. This song, Deep into the Bowl, appears on his latest album From Soil to Space, released Oct, 2011 on Aleph Zero Records. Other releases include Bohemian Groove from 2010 (Beats N Pieces), and Smokers Lounge from 2007 (Sofa Beats/Iboga).

He is due to release an EP on Neurobiotic Records called Upxare EP in late March/early April.

Planned for 2012 are other releases on YSE as well as on GanjaTree, and also a few collaborations are coming up. His first Album will be released on Yellow Sunshine Explosion.
