Rated 281 releases, average: 4.75
Profile: Love pretty much every electronic music style & like to get deeply into each one (underground styles) with a prevalence of techno.
Also loves Jazz & classical (specifically baroque)

Right now looking for very special rarities from the 90`s (techno, electro & house)

Method of rating:

Since one cannot rate each track individually, in the case of eps i`ll put 5/5 even if i loved just one tune (it has to be extremely good tho).
So if a ep has 1 excelent tune out of 4, either way it will get a 5/5.

With albums i`ll try to make an average.

The genres known as psychedelic/goa trance have been bastardized by dozens of trends like full on, minimal & progressive, among others. (There`s good tunes from those as well! but sadly they are more like a copycat of other genres (progressive house, epic trance & techno for example) & leave no room for true psychedelia. Those prevents the genuine spirit of the style to rise. (synaesthesia anyone?)
True psychedelic has to be kaleidoscopic & insane, there`s no room for rationality here.
The title "psychedelic" has to be earned. 99% of the stuff you will see labeled as such is at best "power trance".

All that was written above is because it is glad to speak about a label who understands that perfectly well, after 30 years from now on, this will be one to remember, funky & folky all the way!

RECOMMENDED!
The wait was worthy!
If you like futuristic techno this one`s for you, really recommended for those who love stuff by the 6277 label or producers like Sleeparchive.
Deep & hypnotic, sometimes too repetitive (some tunes with not enough substance or depth), half of the tunes will be useful as tools for a set with some ambient tunes thrown in as well.
My top picks would be "orbital", "elektrofluxx", "Jolie chooses" & "the bi-machine". But i`m sure experienced djs will find a use for every single tune in here.
The sound is clean, with spicy highs & sweet pads (gotta love`em) & overall minimalesque but not according to the modern minimal trend at all (like glitch, plastic sound). This one breathes instead! Top sound production.
In a time when good, TRUE techno is really hard to find, this is truly refreshing, sci fi techno sounds at their best!

This is a underrated psychedelic trance album, i WISH 1/8 of psytrance was this quality, this is truly kaleidoscopic music for every psychonaut out there. Original, complex, multi layered, textured organic gastric sound, groovy basslines (not just bang bang bang!), this is specially good to play in forest parties & has tunes for night & just when the morning comes, this one deserves 5/5.
Few psy manages to be both dark & playfull & this is a excelent example of such thing.
We need more stuff like this one!

TIMELESS!!!

Who cares about mastering/quality sound when you have genius!

This guys do a sweet kind of music, varied and original, ranging from trance to chill, very childish most of the times. Inspired by fairy tales from the forests of Finland. Is psychedelic on its own way, depending more on twisted melodies than effects/samples.

If you like melodic music & don`t care about a non professional sound check these guys out. Completely different from what you would call trance/goa. Very funny music, those people are midi geniuses!
