INFLUENCES:::: electronic and electric music with positifs effects on your body, your mind and your soul: like Dado aka Deedrah/Synthetic/Transwave/Earthling/Vibrasphere/Sub 6/Zen Mechanics/Silicon Sound/Joti Sidhu/Adham Shaikh/Gabe/Domestic/Ido Ophir/Shanti Matkins/Jaia/New Order/Depech Mode/Skinny Puppy/Interrupted - Dimitri DKN (aka Dimitri Nakov), is a culmination of a years work in the studio in Ibiza, in-between... pulling on various musical influences - from techno and progressive, minimal and house, and years of festivals, clubs and different countries and flavors, to bring a different angle to what is commonly known as Psy Trance. Ranging in styles, intensities and bpms, much like Dimitr's trance DJ sets, in order to bring a colorful perspective to trance.Primarily all tracks were written by Dimitri in Dado's studio, hence the numerous collaborations with Dado (of Deedrah, Synthetic and Krome Angels fame) and mixed by Dimitri at Serge Souque's Antidote Studio (famous for Total Eclipse) and hence the participation of The Antidote.Also featured on the album are remixes for X Dream's late 90's classic 'Coming S.', a remix to Astrix and Dimitri's 2002 underground hit, 'Evoc' and The Good Bad and Ugly's (as yet unreleased) Interrupt.Earthling's highly anticipated second album 'Hypernature' will be released on Neurobiotic records in December 2008, and promises to be a contemporary definition of his sound: a unique blend of deep, psychedelic soundscapes and organic rhythms. With under his belt over 50 tracks released on some of the most influent labels such as Solstice, Nano Records, Alchemy, 3D Vision, Transient, Dragonfly and Mind Control, to name a few and performances at some of the biggest festivals worldwide, POLARIS (Arno Stengel) is a very well known name in the psychedelic trance scene. Crystal clear production, fat warm basslines and deep morning soundscapes are Polaris' trademark, and this album, the second on Neurobiotic Records after his debut one “Polaris”, is surely his most mature work till now. Finalement, voici la compilation tant attendue de Silicon Sound sur l'étiquette italienne Neurobiotic records! Une compilation incroyable réalisée avec plusieurs collaborations! La compilation psy trance de l'année! Un standard de haute gamme !!!! Tous les mcx sont excellents, et oui je dis bien tous les mcx !!!!!! La sortie est prévue pour novembre. A remarquer le retour du groupe francais légendaire Blue Planet corporation , le duo francais Even 11 qui est un nouveau projet et une collaboration entre Silicon Sound vs Jaia . Il y a de tout , un bon mixe entre de la bonne psy trance planante avec le remix de Voyager aka Altom, Silicon Sound vs DJ Psychotrop, Polaris, Tristan et de la bonne transe progressive planante, atmosphérique, hypnotique, électro,etc.A mix of progressive and psytrance with a touch of electro and some very interesting collaborations. It includes tracks from the new project called “Even 11”, a collaboration between Silicon Sound and Jaia, Voyager (project of the former Altom member Thomas Dubreuill), Blue Planet Corporation, a legendary french band from the early 90’s which released over 100 tracks. Compiled by Silicon Sound, this compilation will surely e a best seller.With under his belt a string of critically acclaimed tracks and remixes on a wide range......of top labels, and performances at some of the biggest festivals worldwide; such as Boom, Universo Paralello, Glade and Sonica; Zen Mechanics has created quite a stir.Neurobiotic records is pleased to bring his debut album 'Holy Cities'; one of this year's most highly anticipated releases. Brimming with deep massive grooves, hypnotic geometric riffs and vast futuristic soundscapes; all merged into a sound that reaches peaks of ethereal epicness and has proven to tantalize many of the world's most switched-on dancefloors.The crystalline production, mastering by Cass (who worked for Bjork and Ministry of Sound) and stunning artwork courtesy of Android, render this album a modern Trance classic. Following the success of the first Neurology compilation, Neurobiotic records is proud to present Neurology vol.2, once again compiled by dj Edoardo, one of the most requested djs in the trance scene. Edoardo hardly needs any introduction, been very well known for his trade-marked sets made of percussive morning delights and wicked mixing technique. Edoardo has been headlining parties in all sides of the planet, including the biggest festivals as Sonica, Glade, Voov, Full Moon Festival, Samothraki,Tribe, Kaballah, Creamfields, Rainbow Serpent, TAZ, Soulclipse, Universo Paralello and he’s constantly touring the world playing his tunes. It took him one year to compile this compilation, being sure to release something far away from the usual disposable trance. Featured artists are the usual Neurobiotic suspects plus a bunch of great talents from other labels as Nano Records and Alchemy Records. 2Hi (Marcello VOR & Vibra) from Brazil opens the compilation with a monster tune, introducing their first album going to be released on Neurobiotic soon. PTX from Israel follows up with one of the most played tunes of the last months introducing a remix of Neurobiotic stable Joti Sidhu, remixing his track released on the Sonica compilation in 2005. Flip flop from Alchemy Records then gives us a track that will remind most of you some old tunes, Psychaos is then back, after years of absence, with a tune that makes you think of the old days of trance, serious stuff! After this, Sinewave comes with a great remix of a track released on Alchemy Records not long ago and introduces Polaris, also busy in finishing is album for Neurobiotic. Commercial hippies from Nano Records then deliver a great morning track. Zen Mechanics, one of the most acclaimed newcomers presents then a track that gives you an idea of what his album, called Holy cities and coming soon on Neurobiotic, will be about. Last but not least Alchemix, a Greek newcomer, giving the perfect track to close such a compilation. After years of heavy involvement in the global psychedelic trance scene and......countless released tracks and collaborations with some of the biggest names and labels, Bamboo forest is surely one of the most important names out there. His first two albums have been massive sellers and have received an enthusiastic feedback from the most influent psy trance djs.Bamboo Forest means psy trance as it is supposed to be, pumping, happy and psychedelic and in the days of hundreds of disposable releases every year, this album is the tangible proof that good psytrance still exists and big names still rock! For those of you who prefer quality to quantity in their trance music, Joti Sidhu “New sensations” is fit for you. After more than 10 years of heavy involvement in the global psychedelic trance scene, two albums and countless released tracks and collaborations with some of the biggest names and labels out there, Joti's tireless creativity yields yet another bountiful harvest of some of the plumpest, juiciest trance tunes to be heard this year. It’s not for the night and not for the daytime, 10 dancefloor bombs to be unleashed any time of the party, outdoor and indoor. Ten perfectly produced tracks, including two remixes of couple of epic anthems from him released earlier on Neurobiotic Records made by Shanti (Spun Records) and PTX, and one track from his new side project with Riktam (GMS – Growling Mad Scientists) called Trance Posers, make this album a must have for all djs and trance listeners worldwide.:::::::NEUROBIOTIC MUSIC AVAILABLE ON BEATPORT.COM::::::
