lab4

Has anyone ever heard of Lab4 from England (I think)? If so, how do they sound? Any info is greatly appreciated.

[Guest Mike Indidginus]

Yes. They have gone down the hard house root, so you generally won't find much information on them on psytrance sites. Their web site is http://www.lab4.com

Also, for other hardtrance related stuff, parties, shop, etc check out

 

Torture Garden

 

I have a bunch of their releases.... From my hardtrance phase... ;o)

 

Btw, Lab4 are great... ;o)

Lab4 jump up and down a LOT when they play live. Even more than the drummer for SUN Project. Recently it seems they are really speeding their music up. I saw them in spring and they played everything about 20% faster than normal, and people were collapsing in big laughing piles because the music was so happy but they couldn't keep up with the speed.

they have a pretty sick (but short) live

There music is very highly energetic & fast, some of their songs with uplifting not-too-cheesy trance melodies and others being more stomping tunes.

 

A combination between hardhouse, hi-nrg uplifting trance and acid techno.

 

They have about 4 albums out. 3 have an unmixed cd & a live set. The newest one was released recently.

 

I think my fave must be their second one. I've got the latest one but haven't listened to it much as i haven't been in a psycho stomping mood as of late

 

if you like them also check out weirdo's album on tinrib records - it's very good & personally prefer them to lab4.

 

for another really good live fairly underground london act, albeit more trancey - try k90.

Great HardHouse

i like weirdo, lab4, and k90 - all good.

 

of note to psy fans... the lab4 ep with candy man and the witch sounded like high energy psytrance to me when i heard it a year ago... i've wanted it ever since! great music...
