What do you guys think of Zero-Blade? I dunno, but I always feel when kick drums get distorted, things are getting desperate :D Cool music- but the kick seriously sucks....Sounds better with a nice snappy zappy kick.....
 
^Awesome, downloading it now- I been looking forward to hearing this :)

He's not too keen on having his solo tracks online.

Why is that? I used to feel similar, but its not like one can really make money of psytrance. That said, I did hear a track of my own played not that long ago and no permission was given :\

Incidentally, do you guys get much violence at doofs in Sth Africa?
 
Hey everyone, i was wondering if anyone could point me in the right direction of some 'good' Full On Psytrance? Almost everything i find sounds way to cheesy and horribly produced.

I recently built up a collection of Protoculture, which im fucking loving the progressive beats.. and accidentally ran into Vibrasphere of which im really enjoying there ambient selected downbeats volumes.

Thanks =D

Nah, not a monetary issue, he just wants to hold back till his production improves
a bit.

Very little violence at parties...Such a normally unseen thing that the occassional jock fight on the dancefloor is really quite shocking. It's generally the opposite though, very open, generous people who want to spread the <3.
 
^TO malakaix- Well, do you like darkpsy or more melodic stuff? The Israeli trance from the earlier parts of this decade were great I think, Space Cat, PsyCraft, Astrix....I find that stuff a bit cheesy, but it was excellent at the time, and many of those groups first releases were really top notch. Pity they kept releasing stuff though :D

I would suggest the new debut album from Sufi- Timewave Zero. It has cheese, but is the best full-on I've heard for a while. Nice and energetic. You may like some of the suomi artists like Squaremeat, Texas Faggot, Haltya, Highpersonic Whomen etc... Thing with suomi-psy is that its intentionally badly produced, but sounds more raw and alive then a lot of really digital trance.

But yar- for dark, I'd say Kindzadza, Highko, Cosmo, Double R.E.L, Acid Goblins.....yar :)

Dalfir, thats cool- theres been a few violent outbreaks recently, girl got raped, meth heads beating people up- more to the north of my country, but its turned me off doofing for a while...

But yeah, I liked the tracks man- I would say drop the drug samples, but thats because I hate vocal samples in psytrance as a rule....Interesting sounds, nice phat bass, good song structure and production- I did notice some of your hihats were panned slightly left- I find that technique really only works or sounds good with acoustic instruments. That said, I always have my hats and percussion spanning a small stereo field, usually never more then 10% panned to one section. Good stuff bro :):) Be keen to hear more...
 
Thanks for listening dude :) Got an upcoming release of a new track remixed by Cybernetix on the next Organik Media V/a.

It's quite weird how meth is really not tolerated at parties...It's a huge problem in Cape Town and any association with parties is understandably unwanted. Hitting bongs on the dancefloor, sharing out Molly with friends in full view of everyone and all other activities that would land you in a holding cell wont even cause an eyelid to be bat. But should anyone be caught smoking a lightbulb of Tik in some dark corner, they can consider their party over.
 
yeah, drugs are most definitely tolerated at parties in Mexico. I went to one last year, some guy was selling pills and acid out in the open. I have a feeling it would be the same if they were dealing meth. Who knows.

Thanks again swilow ;)

I figured the cheesiness was unfortunately unavoidable with Full-On, but i can tolerate it hehe, i mean.. i still enjoy Infected for what they've become, there live show back in November was surprisingly awesome. :D

I love a bit of both dark and melodic, i actually had the chance to see Kindzadza earlier in January at a Doof here, and really enjoyed what i heard. I'll be checking out the other artists you mentioned as soon as i can, thanks! Enjoying Protoculture - Homeworld so much right now.

Woot 3 weeks until my next psytrance gig. Loving them, went to my first one at new years and they have to be the greatest, friendliest gatherings of any type ive ever been to.

Sadly this one is the last outdoor one of the year from this company, which is one of the only ones ive been able to find in little ol' NZ.

If your in NZ, check out phatproductions.co.z and come along at easter weekend! Phat productions always does awesome stuff. All night and all day. In auckland btw.

What happens to such a person? Hopefully just a gentle escort out....then again, it seems hypocritical to boot someone from a doof for taking a drug others may not approve of. Only thing I think sucks is IV use at parties; if I do that its in the secrecy of a tent, and the needle if well taken care of. Then again, we get lots little kids/families at doofs in Aus....dunno bout in Sth Africa. But I've found a few syringes lying around and disposed off them quite angrily....

Another issue actually, as I don't think people should bring their children to psytrance parties. But hey, theres a 13 year old DJ in Aus causing some stirs at the moment! :)

Peace...

Sweet Jesus. For a long time I was kindof sad that I wasn't around a big dance music scene but we have never had any sort of violence or rape in the past 10 years of parties. I'm starting to appreciate super tiny communities more and more even if we rarely get foreign artists.

I guess it's just because of the uber-extreme negative connotations meth has here. Rasta ganja-growers banded together and marched to cooks and merchants to eradicate their stock about two years ago...It's not uncommon to see signs at parties proclaiming "You Tik, You Turn"...And maybe it's just me, but I can spot a meth-head from a mile away and generally don't like seeing that kind of person anywhere near a party.

A few veterans bring their toddler kids to parties, but I've always seen them with full-on ear protection. The same kind of headphone style protection drummers use, which is cool.

Zion Linguist started his DJ career at 13, that much I know, but at the moment the youngest guys you'll see behind the decks (at their own uber-squat parties) are around 19.

I think it is bs this sort of drug elitist attitude though. Amphetamine is an incredibly powerful chemical especially for trancework in my opinion. The mental clarity and energetic focus of amphetamine compounds can be just as powerful as any "psychedelic". I worry more about inappropriate behavior than anything, I could care less if people are shooting up or smoking meth, just as long as they behave properly and use these substances in a private area and dispose of utensils safely.
 
I just discovered group Vibrasphere wich is classified as Psytrance and god I love it!

Its great sober so i'll make sure to include some in my playlist for my next mdma experience!

wow, and think about how many people run around bare footed. that's scary, im going to be a lot more cautious of where i am stepping from now on.

and what is this 13 year old's name??
i want to research a bit on him!

^His name is Dj Obstetrix- this is a mix he did http://www.unicoorn.com/369/obstetrix_Implant.zip. Gotta rename it to .wav to hear it. Heres a thread on Oztrance about it- but if your not a member, you won't be able to read it, and they aren't taking registrations due to the Earthcore/DanceAid scammery and hijinks (another good little tale there too....) Also re: needles. They are few and far between, I've only found one I think, so keep yer feet bare (and buttocks too- why not? :D)

Re: the violence at parties; its in the north of Australia- which is (if you weren't aware) a huge country- so far Victoria seems to be keeping it safe, but up around Nimbin and NNSW theres a crew who apparently just bash people at parties....Fuckheads really. Yet the hippies won't fight back- which makes no sense. I understand that violence never solves anything, but if people are getting raped....well, it might be time to suspend values somewhat.

The only violence in Vic at a doof was at Rainbow Serpent, where a guy was stabbed I think. Also, a guy died at Earthcore a few years back, wandered off tripping ballz and drowned :( RIP...
