For those who like Goatrance, Goachill and the like... we have compiled here brand fresh new tracks from Khetzal, Tentura, Azriel, Mindphoria, E-Mantra, Asura‼ Give them a try! DJ Zen presents: "Fall" (the new Altar Records compilation). They say there’s a song for every season, and a season for every song. And our musical choices, while influenced by the weather, also become the soundtrack and help define how we live each moment. With that in mind, Altar Records label chief DJ Zen has been tuning into the elements of each season and crafting a special release of Psychill for each one. Following the success of 'Spring' and ‘Summer’, he’s ready to present a celebration of the Autumn season with the release of ‘Fall’. After a summer blessed by the sun, and amazing festivals where we danced half naked under blue skies, there’s a certain nostalgia in the air. Suddenly, we’re more in touch with our feelings. The grass is fading, and the winds have shifted…birds call out as they make their yearly migration south. And the nights are cooler, and arrive too soon. But the light at the end of the day is glorious, with sunsets full of rich orange colours, long shadows, and piercing azure blues that reach up into the twilight. It’s a time of transition; it’s a time of emotions; a time of letting go, and (like the bears in their den) getting ready to go inside, to get cozy cocooning - alone, or with friends. At this crossroads, DJ Zen has compiled some very special music for your listening pleasure. Like a hot cup of chai, these are tunes to keep your heart warm, and your thoughts happy! Featuring 13 exclusive tracks from renowned Psychill masters such as Asura, Elea & Bahramji, AstroPilot, Alwoods, Tentura, E-Mantra, Azriel, Mindphoria and more. Autumn is an amazing time of year, full of transitions, and this release is the perfect soundtrack for tuning into your inner bliss. Enjoy! PLEASE NOTE: (bonus tracks) are not included in the CD.

::: E-MANTRA : Echoes from the Void ::: new album out now! :: PRESS RELEASE :: "Echoes from the Void" is the new opus from the master of psybient Emanuel Carpus aka E-Mantra. In this album Emanuel has pushed his ideas farther to generate greater depth within his newest creation. He set out to paint a story through spectral frequencies, beautiful vocals and wistful melodies. With our emotions invoked while listening to "Echoes from the Void," immediatly we see ourselves on the dance floor. Rising inside feeling unable to stand still because Emanuel's sound has enveloped you. Having the quality we have come to expect, you will find this album is filled with greater rolling basslines and builds to a faster bpm throughout the album. More so than his previous 3 psychill /GoaChill albums on Altar Records. Those who have come to know and enjoy the slower beats of classic E-Mantra style, will enjoy this album. It starts out gently in psychill, evolving ever so gradually onto more deeply progressive progressions. All of this being unique to E-Mantra as he continues to craft what inspires him, aka Night Hex nowadays, in the studio... Thank you E-Mantra for the chance to let us enter your single world of magic! Also available in 24Bits quality 20 W&P By Emanuel Carpus, Romania.

:: PRESS RELEASE :: At Altar Records we focus on releasing emotional, unique, and inspired music. Reasonandu's debut release, "Imminent Satori", is exactly this and more. "Imminent Satori" represents a beautifully crafted and heart moving Goachill album that will sooth and inspire the souls of those who listen. Reasonandu is Alexandru Dumitrescu who hails from Romania. Alexandru's skills and inspiration draw from many styles of music and blend the best of electronic psychedelic trance, ambient, and world music. You may also know him from his collaboration with Emanuel of E-mantra from their powerful psytrance project "Eleusyn". For his first solo release you can expect sounds that recall the grandeur of Enigma (Alexandru has worked along Adrian Enescu, a former member of the band in the 90's), the power of E-Mantra's beats & melodies, and unique inspiration that recalls Ra and Asura's ambient side. Listen and we are certain that you will fall in love instantly with this album just as we have.
