recursion loop

The first track of the album was haunting me for a few days, like it was something I had heard before despite I was pretty sure I hadn't. It turned our to be that Sonic Species track, some parts of the Altered State's one sound almost like it was an attempt at 1:1 remake

Yes, that too. When I skip trough compilations of tracks by different producers the bassline often stays exacxtly the same. It's just what it is... the 2021 psy bassline. I think most newschool psy guys must credit Futurephonics and Function Loops as co-producers

Agree with you here, it does sound very clean and transparent (and very very loud I guess) but the sound somewhat lacks warmth and substance. But it's the sound of today, love it or hate it... I think the music is quite decent nevertheless.

Another fresh album, very modern sound but I think I hear a lot of influences from classic morning stuff, such as Protoculture, Silicon Sound, Ephedrix, Digicult Really good one, IMO.

I didn't know that exact track (thanks for posting it it's great!) but I discovered Technical Hitch a while back and was quite impressed. I think it's rooted in the hi-tech subgenre, some tracks have really crazy bpms, but he adds these sublime melodies and ethnic atmospheres which takes the whole thing to a next level One of my favs (190 bpm tho!) A remix mix with a more "normal" bpm I also think Sonic Elysium has somewhat similar vibe (being in a more accessible bpm range) And maybe some Terrafractyl stuff (more of a "sympho-psy" ... or whatever you may call that. The common thing is that it's very melodic and doesn't stick much to the ubiquitous "psytrance formulae")

Did someone miss DNA, Gataka, Vibe Tribe, Electro Sun? 145 bpm with happy sunshine melodies Unashamedly cheesy one, but quite enjoyable (or maybe I just starved for properly melodic psy for so long)

Slow psytrance is called Chillgressive. It's a genre on it's own and there's plenty of that on youtube, look for Psychamber, Ori Love and Savvas Kalt Most of it sounds somewhat samey and too fluffy but you can find some good stuff

Monark, Diva, Repro-1/5, TAL stuff Replica XT for delays, Valhalla VV for reverbs

I think Arturia aren't exactly known for making the most realistic emulations. they do make some fine hardware tho.

There's an excellent one from TAL (Bassline-101), as well as LUSH-101 which is loosely based on 101 with some extras Both play in this track - starting from 3:35 and till the end of the track, quite a bit of both as the main leads and acid lines (sorry for self-promotion but hope it fits the topic ) There's also a vst plugin made by Roland themselves which is supposedly the most realistic emulation but it requires that cloud subscription crap so I never tried it.

Two track EP which reflects my love to old-school melodic full-on This one has a somewhat goa-ish vibe with some influences from Global Sect sound, somewhere in-between full-on and newschool goa And this one was intended to sound like a 2005-ish full-on track with all these Access Virus sounds and the necessary trancey melody Mastering by our forum guy Astralprojection (master@aeap.se) Beatport link https://www.beatport.com/release/approaching-a-black-hole-ep/3455518

https://www.beatport.com/release/mental-imagery/3423895 Groovy progressive (or kinda "soft full-on") track somewhat inspired by Sonic Species and Shadow Chronicles style.

Okay, these are mixed better. Not entirely Access Virus but I used it quite a bit on these. Track 1 is written in collaboration with @astralprojection

No! Maybe I'll make better mixed versions one day tho

I made a couple of such tracks. Edit: oh no, these tracks sound like crap, won't be posting them. Virus is a great synth but i suck at mixing.

That more likely references Access Virus synth

Two tracks, 136-138 bpm, morning proggy vibes https://www.beatport.com/release/alchemical-reaction-ep/3343321 Track 2 mastered by our forum member @astralprojection

Wow, that's some next level goa trance, especially this track !

Same here. And also Ionized. They both were on some "super mega tarnce hits" CD I bought long ago.

Really nice! Can't believe it's 2003

Sure! Especially the second one, it's kinda more "canonical" and has all the genre cliches. Btw, my introduction to psytrance was also Infected Mushroom and Astrix

Some excellent stuff by Stereofeld (okay 2013 is old now )

Very cool track! I dig the oldschool vibe. Mixing seems ok. What synths did you use btw?
