Derango

Real Name:
Jens Eriksson & Ola Eriksson
Profile:
Derango is the imaginative outcome of Jens Eriksson and Ola Eriksson (although the surname suggests it, they are not related). Originally from Örebro, Sweden, they now live in Malmö after deciding to move in early 2000. Having had several electronically-oriented projects in the past, it was during this year they started making psychedelic music together.
Both of them have been playing in various alternative rock band's inbetween 1995 and 1999. At this latter point their interest in electronic music had grown so strong it could no longer be held back. So by unleashing, and ultimately harnessing the seemingly stubborn forces synthesizers and samplers possess, they discovered new ways of expressing creativity and teamed up to piece together for you, as well as to their own bemusement, some weird psycho-acoustic audiovisualisations.

Ola & Jens are definitely one of the most talented psytrance producers, they manage to create absolutely wicked and sometimes even funky "forest trance". I haven't heard anything like their music, it's a total class of its own. You can always spot the Derango track a mile away. They use tons of layers which can make the music sound very chaotic at first listens, but you start to get into the structures after a few listens and find that there's actually some little distorted melodies too. The atmosphere is always very foresty like the trees and gnomes hiding behind them were creating the music.
Been hooked on the stuff since the summer of 2004.
