Review by stub004 Nov 16, 2008
Quite simply put: this is one of the best psy-trance labels going around.

Run by brothers Gareth and Regan Tacon with friend Anselm Guise since 2003, the label has focussed on quality rather than quantity, hosting some of the most influential and inventive artists of the scene.

Nate Raubenheimer, aka Protoculture, has released two excellent albums with Nano to date, with a third to follow in 2009. Raubenheimer has a knack for uplifting melodies and has swayed many traditional trance fans to the psy-trance scene.

Adam Metcalfe as Headroom has given the world one album to date, titled "Artelligent". Metcalfe employs a hard-hitting sound with twisted melodies and racing percussion.

The Tacon brothers have also shown the world their talents with 2004's "Aquabatics", a brilliant album featuring 9 distinct and memorable tracks.

Coupled with such big names as Dickster, Aphid Moon, The Commercial Hippies and Tristan, this label is packed full of quality and looks to continue the trend in future years. 2009 sees the signing of new artist Leon Kane under the Avalon guise, as well as a new project titled "Fearsome Engine" from Tristan and Cosmosis.
