ABOUT HALLUCINOGEN

Hallucinogen aka Simon Posford is a pioneer of electronic music and founder of the psy-trance scene . With the release of his first album, "Twisted", which reached Number 27 in the French album charts, a genre was born. There are many words to describe modern electronic music but none that come close to the wealth of emotion and experience that comes from listening to a Posford tune.

 

Halllucinogen's second album "The Lone Deranger" blew the lid off the musical scene that had built up around his influence. Not only did it have more of the killer musical riffs but also was a feat of clean production and professionalism previously seen with the likes of The Floyd, one of Simon's major influences.

 

ABOUT PROMETHEUS

You may know Benji Vaughan under the name Prometheus. Then again, you could be more familiar with one of his other pseudonyms: Process (with Sean Williams), Citizen Kaned (with Nick Doof), Cyber Babas (with Raja Ram of Tip) and, most recently, with Simon Posford as Younger Brother.

 

In 1997, after several years of tinkering with electronic gizmos, Benji released his first single ñ a track with Sean Williams called Clarity from Deep Fog (Twisted Records). Benji went on to write an

album with Sean in the depths of the English countryside. Since then, he has returned to London and lured some of the most creative musicians in trance to his state-of-the-art studio, as well as

working with artists from other fields, ranging from house to folk.

 

In the last couple of years, he has DJ-ed all over the world and, in the next twelve months, will be performing live as Prometheus, Younger Brother and Cyber Baba. Up til now, Benj has been keener to hide in his studio than get under the spotlight. But, thanks to a recent Prozac prescription, he will soon be showing off on a stage near you.

 

ABOUT YOUNGER BROTHER

A winning collaboration between two of the psy-trance scene’s best producers – the legendary Simon Posford (HALLUCINOGEN) and the highly prolific Benji Vaughan (PROMETHEUS), Younger Brother is guaranteed to be huge at underground parties and in the homes of trance fans everywhere.

Younger Brother is the latest trance project from Simon, who has been concentrating on his downtempo project Shpongle, and will be a welcome 4/4 dancelfoor return to his numerous dance music fans. Still he has brought the latest influences with him merging them together into a new blend of Shpongle’s slow beats and the faster dance of Hallucinogen’s trance. Prometheus’ influence further accentuates the eclectic nature of this project with a wide range of sounds, samples, effects and beats that create unique fusion of musical fantastia, from tribal chants, hard driving rhythms, electronic effects, trance mayhem and very british samples from the Isle of White festival to famous voices from the past reminiscent of Mr. Scruff, Lemon Jelly, and Coldcut nostalgic sampling or Royksopp with it’s mix of melodies and slow dancey beats.

Younger Brother will be premiering their live show touring the UK, USA, Brazil, Mexico, Japan, Finland, and Canada.

 

ABOUT OTT

The most fantastic modern dub from West Country reclusive genius Ott, who’s new album really is ‘over the top’ in quality, depth and shinning brilliance. Spacey strings, chants, otherworldly noises and pertinent samples collide with his massive rub-a-dub beats and bass. Ott’s music is a world to it’s own, a pure undiluted atmospheric world of swirling stoned sound and colour. Indian to Arabic to African Ott’s dub’s are boundary-less and boundless in their, scope and strength. Ott’s music is a paradox of dub, not stereotypically slow heavy sounds but at once an upbeat dancey dub full of light, world chants and funky beats, while still maintaining a slow and relaxed ambient groove. Following on from his recent ‘Hallucinogen In Dub’ album (TWSCD16) for Twisted the solo album is a selection of clean hard grooves and the best dub studio skills, echo, delay, phasing, instruments popping up out of the murk and then submerging again, skills of which Ott is a particular maestro.

 

Ott is no stranger to the studio, he has for the last 20 years been producing, arranging and recording some of the most famous artists including Sinead O'Connor, The Orb, and Brian Eno. Working in a wide range of the best studios in the land from SARM East and West, Real World, and Ridge Farm to Foel in Wales. He has been interviewed in the producers/engineers bible Sound on Sound and is currently managed by Strongroom Management UK. He continues to work with many famous artists and along his travels has met up with our own master producer Simon Posford aka Hallucinogen, editing Shpongle. After hearing his studio skills Simon commissioned him to make this modern dub album as an antithesis to his own hurtling psy-trance music.

 

The results are as you shall see, startling, a stunning example of modern dub and one that is sure to be massive with all dance music and ambient music fans across the globe.
