I'd be down with a bluelight meetup at Gemini if others are. Oh and plan on being able to stay sunday if you can, i don't know if it willl happen again this year but last year the music went till LATE sunday at the mainstage (Naked Tourist played multiple times lol, same with a few other djs) THEN they had chillout music in the chill dome all night.

Oh and it gets cold as hell there at night and hot during the day (atleast in my opinion) so bring proper clothes.
 
So I was pleased to find out that one of the guys from Minimal Criminals is actually Kaiaphas, lead singer (for a while) of Black Metasl band ANCIENT. Pleased just cos. :)
 
Loud- Abstract is a damn fine album....really different to typical fullon- I would label it progressive fullon if I were to label it, and I just did, so yeah....:)

^Spacetribe is pretty intense live, but gets a bit weary on the ears....Enjoy.

Personally, I want May to hurry up so as to hear the Noise Poison crew rip my head apart! :)

Psychosynthesis- meet up perhaps?? I don't think I have anyone to go with, Miss Swilow may have to work...:(

that party is gonna be sick.. i'm actually spinning at it along with a bunch of melbourne's dark/hard djs, and apparently there's gonna be something like 6 hours of highko/cosmo/highcosmos on the main night
 
Album- VA- Midnights Sahred Blosson, feautirng Kindzadza, Pyckovsky, Osom- abso-fucking-lutely brilliant. Some utterly insane stuff on it, almost the peak of psytrance for me....Get it! :D
 
^ Do you mean "Midnights Shared Blossom"? Enthusiasm overload detected =D

That Loud album was pretty cool, I enjoyed it thoroughly!

I thought that album was great.

Psykovsky's newest -> Da Budet is even better in my opinion. Perhaps one of the best high bpm psytrance albums I have ever heard, it maintains intensity and speed but incredible mastering and absolutely unique harmonic/musical elements push it above and beyond the majority of "dark" or faster trance out there.
 
Getting ready for 3 days of trancing in the north georgia mountains! first outdoor party of the season! AND its the first multiday trance festival in the state! Hell yeah.
 
was gonna be there, too bad fiance works all weekend

wanted to see bioluminescent live

Just gave that album a listen-through this afternoon, and most of it didn't grab me terribly. It had its highlights, but at times the tempo/key changes and melodies seemed so strange and arbitrary that the musical flow was sort of knocked off track for me. Although I thought Isshoni Taides was a really wild and beautiful track. Definitely great to hear something that truly breaks free of the generic psytrance mold, in any case. :)

I tend to agree a bit re: tempo changes and especially the key changes. Its hard to dance to, thats for sure, but certainly trips the mind out. I must say, I don't find artists like Psykovsky, Cosmo, Highko etc. to be dark at all, as compared to Silent Horror, Ikpeng, Terranoise- more so utterly psychedelic, in that it never ceases to change. I think its more brain music then body music- but after getting into those sorta artists its pretty hard to enjoy the cruddy isratrance of yore....

Now Zero-Blade and The Andychrist, both extremely fast trance stuff- that shit is dark...Zero-Blade borders on having black/death metal style blastbeats in his tunes- very good indeed.

I've had a crack at writing a few really fast and twisted tunes- one of which is "okay", I'll post it here tomorrow- its only about 4 mins so far and I can't decide where to go next, but I'm happy with the structure of it....Though its probably more reminescnet of Azax Syndrome with a hint of Kindzadza (and about 1% of the brilliance of the latter too :() then the truly psycore insanity.

It will be interesting to see where psytrance goes from here- I'm thinking of adding some screams just to lighten the mood, and maybe completely fucking off clean production techniques.....
 
Did the Easter Vortex this weekend...Seriously the most top-notch production and sound I've ever witnessed. Vortex is pretty much the biggest party of the year and everything was going 10/10 until I woke up around 6am on the third day to this:

Some cars got burnt out but there were no casualties.


Music was off by that stage and a lot of doe-eyed, confused people walking around...The party was only supposed to end around 12 hours later.

All in all, it was pretty sweet. :P

Strange? certainly
arbitrary? I would certainly disagree

I found the musical flow to be some of the most engaging arrangements I have heard in trance yet. Frankly I feel like if anything trance is often far too straightforward, this sort of deconstruction/reconstruction shifting time signatures and melodic wackiness is far more mentally engaging.

Oh and I heard a few of his tracks on a dancefloor this weekend, out in the woods and I have to say they worked far better than I imagined, his basslines are beyond powerful and had the whole dance floor out of control.

Give it a few more listens (out of a huge system if you get the chance) perhaps it will grow on you?
