Instead, what they will do is quietly assemble a team of producers from within their ranks, compile a few tunes, probably get some guy from the back-blocks of Australia to write a few words about it, release it onto an unsuspecting public then sit back and watch it go kaboom. That sound being the OMG moment when Free-Spirit Records blasts back into the consciousness of psy-trance devotees with a compilation that fully captures the talents they have mustered from the across the globe and now wave under the one banner. So it will happen again with the release of Reawakening Volume 2, a bringing together of the progressive entities found within Free-Spirit Records’ midst. These gatherings are all firm favourites already, on the basis of their previous albums and EP releases on the label, and the fourteen tracks here provide a showcase for their individual skills and collective sensibilities. The roll call of artists includes the barn-storming Portuguese duo Techyon, whose contribution opens the album with minimal fanfare but on reflection, provides an unhurried introduction to what it precedes. The track listing is carefully considered with Solar Spectrum’s tunes, once the introductions are over, providing the mood contexts for what is to follow. Tron and Ital, two FSR stalwarts, ensure that once into the guts of the album you are under no misconceptions. Now is the time to start stomping. This one is for the dancers. X-Control and Twelve Sessions’ offerings serve to reinforce this message but just before you start to gasp for oxygen in steps Monastic Squid with light relief, funk and humour. As with any Free-Spirit Records’ progressive inflection, Journey and Omsphere play major roles with tunes reflecting the dabbles their personas have across trance’s full spectrum, psy and beyond. Crafted like a good DJ set the final tunes from Braincell and Shalys encompass nods to journey taken to reach that point, a hint of euphoria and lots of no nonsense lets have it. Progressive psy-trance’s defining traits are, in comparison to its stable-mates, its no-frills, no gimmicks attitude so that its often minimalist sound can appear simplistic. That accusation cannot be made here; Reawakening Volume 2 has variety and definition, complementing many purposes. Enabling Free-Spirit Records to walk proud, it has done it again; the spotlight is once more on them. ☀ ☀ ☀ ☀ ☀ ☀ ☀ ☀ ☀ ☀☀ ☀ ☀ ☀ ☀ ☀ ☀ ☀ ☀ ☀☀ ☀ ☀ ☀ ☀ ☀ ☀ ☀ :: Jay OM Bio :: Jay OM (Journey / Omsphere / Sonic Wave Control / Crocodile Rangers / Star~Trip) is the psychedelic solo project of, Milan born but now London based, Giampiero 'Jay' Mastino, label manager of Free-Spirit Records. Jay forged his earliest psychedelic-rock influences playing guitar in local bars in Milan. His romance with the decks began in the late 80's whilst working for a local radio station where he was given the opportunity to spin his first record. This love firmly in place the move to London followed in 1998. Soon thereafter he started djing professionally as Jay OM and in 2003 he studied Sound Engineering and Music Technology and began a solo production project under the name Journey and another collaborative project called Star~Trip. In 2004, Jay conceived the vision of a network of like-minded artists in the psy-trance, progressive and ambient genres, all working to promote themselves and each other under one banner. Thus the Free-Spirit label was born... originally intended to focus on artist management, the label's skyrocketing success combined with the enthusiasm of Jay, the artists and fans enabled Free-Spirit to outgrow its horizons. Following several successful compilation releases, Journey’s first EP was released on Free-Spirit Records in 2008 followed by his debut solo album, The Man who Sold the Time, in January 2009. In July 2010 he released a teaser EP, The Ripple Effect Part I, and then his second solo album, Through the Mirror, in September 2011. Journey has also released and continues to release numerous tracks on many other international labels and also has numerous releases under his other projects. He has been rocking the crowds at many of the biggest venues, outdoor parties and festivals in the UK, Europe, Central and Southern America and South Africa under his various projects including Boom Festival, Universo Paralello, Origin Festival, Fora do Tempo Festival, Aurora Festival, Vortex Festival, Boomerang Festival, Visions Festival, Sonica Festival, Samsara Festival, Life Celebration Festival, Mayan Soul Festival and many more... Jay also produces progressive under the name Omsphere, and is currently working on a solo album plus he has a further psychedelic collaborative project with Ralph K (Braincell/Solar Spectrum/Rastaliens) called Crocodile Rangers and in January 2012 formed a progressive tribal trance project called Sonic Wave Control with a debut album, Sixth Sense, released on Free-Spirit Records in April 2012. Today, Jay's reputation as an active, involved and hard-working individual in the global trance circuit precedes him. His commitment and enthusiasm for trance music has left an indelible impression on the world scene already and Jay's future has never looked brighter, from his burgeoningly successful record label to his organized events to his upcoming solo releases. Jay works tirelessly at his art and trade and the music he brings to the masses exemplifies the fruits of his labour and energy. www.journeysounds.com www.omspheresounds.com www.soincwavecontrol.com www.free-spiritrecords.com/index.php/artists/djs/psychedelic/jayom ☀ ☀ ☀ ☀ ☀ ☀ ☀ ☀ ☀ ☀☀ ☀ ☀ ☀ ☀ ☀ ☀ ☀ ☀ ☀☀ ☀ ☀ ☀ ☀ ☀ ☀ ☀ :: Booking Opportunities :: We are always looking for quality promoters and production crews worldwide to host Free Spirit CD Release Parties and also Free Spirit Records Label parties.

SAVAGE CIRCUIT - Digital Domain EP [Free-Spirit Records] https://fbcdn-sphotos-h-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-prn1/943257_10151550791572362_1622905385_n.jpg Track Listing: 1] Buying Time 2] Instinct 3] Slight Of Mind 4] Re Entry Mastered @Killah Mastering Studios by Giampiero Mastino aka Jay OM Listen to samples: www.soundcloud.com/savage-circuit Released Exclusively on Beatport from the 23/07/2013 General Release 06/08/2013 Genre: Psychedelic Trance Cat No: FRS0044EP Worldwide distribution by INgrooves, San Franciso, CA Tel: +1 415 489 7000 http://www.INgrooves.com/ ☀ ☀ ☀ ☀ ☀ ☀ ☀ ☀ ☀ ☀☀ ☀ ☀ ☀ ☀ ☀ ☀ ☀ ☀ ☀☀ ☀ ☀ ☀ ☀ ☀ ☀ ☀ SAVAGE CIRCUIT - Digital Domain EP [Free-Spirit Records] P.R> by DMG According to the universal law of attraction, like attracts like and no better evidence of this is London-based psy label Free-Spirit Records adding Savage Circuit to the ever-expanding list of artists who have featured under their banner. For here are two parties dedicated to the same goal; expanding the boundaries of human consciousness through the collaboration of human and machine to bring souls of all entities together in the common purpose of shared experience. And the substance of their unity is the EP, Digital Domain. Both parties having travelled circuitous routes to reach this junction, Savage Circuit hailing from the outer reaches of the psychedelic universe, Miami, Florida, his migration to the centre of the UK scene has been accompanied by transitions across guises and labels that are familiar to most but as the primary focus is on the here and now they are rendered irrelevant. So too then is Free-Spirit’s casual but hardly gradual growth from modest ambitions to providing a beating heart to the aforementioned UK psy culture. For what we have in the form of Digital Domain are four tracks reflecting the creator that Savage Circuit has become. Accustomed to live performance and studio production in equal measure his understanding of the components that make for enlightenment through human movement are available for ready consumption. Simplicity achieved through complexity, a multitude of components providing substantial continuity of energy distorting the perceptions, and relevance, of time itself so that one becomes the other with seamless fluidity. Such that the experience of the listener/participant mirrors that of the music and the communion of spirits, as like attracts like, is again the result. And as the knowledge of this achievement disperses across the psy planet so till will it prove that the law of attraction is truly universal. ☀ ☀ ☀ ☀ ☀ ☀ ☀ ☀ ☀ ☀☀ ☀ ☀ ☀ ☀ ☀ ☀ ☀ ☀ ☀☀ ☀ ☀ ☀ ☀ ☀ ☀ ☀ :: SAVAGE CIRCUIT Bio :: Savage Circuit is genetically engineered and generated by Vincent Garcia. A musician since his early teens, and hailing from Miami, Florida , USA , Vince majored in Audio Engineering at the Art Institute of Ft. Lauderdale where he studied Recording and Mixing. Having moved to the UK in the late nineties in order to immerse himself in the underground psychedelic scene/culture,he then released Outsider / Induction Ritual on Psylevation Records under the Pagan Technologies moniker. This release featured two of his compositions and included additional engineering and production by Dick Trevor. Critically lauded, and played by DJs such as Shane Gobi . Tristan , Antaro and Captain Kairos, among others, he eventually went on to co produce Arch Fiend's Shock Hazard. This was a collaboration with Paul Wright of Deviant Species / RAM , which was released on the seminal Alchemy Records compilation Electrum. Soon afterwards, he continued his mutation into Savage Circuit and began performing at many key underground parties and events in London, becoming a notorious regular staple as a live act on the underground psychedelic scene. In July of 2012 he released his debut ep, Crosstalk, on Alchemy Records, which showcased the deep, hypnotic, driving style he developed and perfected throughout his tenure as a live performer . Combining a hybrid approach using analogue and digital synthesizer and studio technology with computer generated 21st century tribal rythms, his sound is driving, acidic and bouncy. Soaring melodies reminiscent of Goa combine with brutal machine rhythms, which further collide with punchy bass lines and hypnotic atmospheres. His music encompasses a vibe that is equally both night-time psychedelic, and morning full on. Designed to be played loud in the jungle or forest.The twilight zone with an extra dash of esp and post hypnotic suggestion. ☀ ☀ ☀ ☀ ☀ ☀ ☀ ☀ ☀ ☀☀ ☀ ☀ ☀ ☀ ☀ ☀ ☀ ☀ ☀☀ ☀ ☀ ☀ ☀ ☀ ☀ ☀ :: Booking Opportunities :: We are always looking for quality promoters and production crews worldwide to host Free Spirit CD Release Parties and also Free Spirit Records Label parties.
