Woohoo, Shpongle live in Melbourne!!!! :D:D:D:D Awesomeness itself...:)

But yeah, I must say the Electrypnose album "Funked Up" is very disappointing. I just don't know why the songs are so fucking slow. That is really my only complaint; it just doesn't work I think. Some hair raising sounds in there though...

But recently Ive been enjoying Spoonbill- certainly not psytrance but certainly psychedelic. Also Infected Mushroom- Classical Mushroom has reaered itself again, plus an X-Dream compilation of their work from 1991-2001, which is great. I think with summer coming on my psy shoes are warming up a bit :) ;)
 
i am beyond bummed. gms - perhaps my favourite psytrance act - are playing in san francisco this friday (@ 1015) and my circumstances conspire to keep me away :(

^Yar, too bad. While a lot of GMS songs are kinda cheesy; the album 'No Rules' is an utter gem; one of my top five psytrance albums I think- it, and the self-titled 1200 mics album are what got me wanting to make psytrance. Also, the names Riktam and Bansi always trip me out; I really don't know why, but if I'm watching GMS, my psychedlic brain will start fiddling with their fucken names.

I realise I already mentioned Spoonbill- but I insist that you guys have a listen to him. Really fun, trippy music- good for laughing silliness, but also a fucking fine programmer and musician. Lotsa nice upright bass, flutes and strange Aussie samples. I believe he gets grants from the Victorian govt to record his music. Also- he makes the best use of the stereo field; the music is really multidimensional.
 
Psy-trance.....love it!

That's pretty much all I spin. Who doesn't get down with some LED' or glowsticks.

I'll put up a mix when I get some recording equipment:)

Actually I love how your clothes glow under blacklights so you can just wear reusable glow clothes and forget the raver toys. There certainly seems to be, atleast in the small trance community in my town, an attempt to distance their image from "rave"

That sucks!

Its funny though, because GMS was supposed to play here in Reno Nv, but he never did. For the longest time, I was under the impression that nobody in the rave scene here liked PsyTrance, so the promoters just decided not to book him.

BUT it turns out that his agent fucked up, and thought that Reno was in Mexico. And told GMS something totally different. Either way, I feel your pain in missing out on one of the greatest psy artist's ever. :p
 
^^FWIW, GMS are two people. I believe at Earthcore several years ago, they were simply never collected from the airport; hence didn't play; as they were also doing a 1200Mics set with Raja and Chicago, there were mean shaking heads. At least, that is the story I heard. I hear these guys, and Eskimo, are really known for just doing no shows. Pretty stupid if you ask me, I'd love to get flown across the world to play beats :D

The Shen- Classical Mushroom is a ucking brilliant tune. IM at their best afaic.
 
The less psychedelic they are (think Astrix, IM, Eskimo), the more of a prima donna rockstar they reckon they are. If everything isn't just how they like it, fuck the crowd who actually want to see them play...
 
just found out highko and cosmo are coming to aus next may yeahhhhhhh

and on a much cheesier note, can't wait to see sesto sento at ec!
 
Damage rocked this weekend. Really cool, approachable guy too.

This is coming up, but I'm not sure how well it will fare in Cape Town...There's only a small cult of people who dig the +150bpm stuff.

Sick!

The Psymmetrix boys, Asimilion, Illegal Machines and Bombax should all be keeping it below 150 bpm. I would have thought Highko would be the only one really pushing it.

Either way, that's got to be one of the best line-ups you could hope for in any country...
