Ake Posted June 15, 2009 Posted June 15, 2009 hey, i'm searching for good new Psytrance. No New School Goa like Suntrip Records, no Dark Psytrance, no teenie Full On. I don't listen to samples of all new releases, but now and then i do, and what i check is mostly too "happy", too aggressive, or too trancy. Progressive Psytrance had a couple of good years from 2005-2008, but it seems it's getting worse these days. Normal Psytrance (or "Full On" like some people call it) seems to be too happy or too aggressive for my personal taste. Always the same boring, pushy rolling bassline. It's quite frustrating. I wonder why so many artists sound like this. There are only 2 releases from 2008 that have a nice sound imo: Headroom - Artelligent and Burn In Noise - Passing Clouds. Unfortunately not all releases on these labels are equally good. Okay, several tracks on those 2 albums also have this rolling bassline, but it's more in the background and not so loud. Both albums are somehow funky, simple but not boring and most important: not overloaded with sounds. Discussions and of course recommendations are very welcome! I posted the same topic on Discogs Psy/Goa Trance Forum. Quote
Penzoline Posted June 15, 2009 Posted June 15, 2009 Tamlin - Spectrogram, Electrypnose - Funked Up and Zybex - Surreal Energy are a few really good psytrance releases from 2008. Although their style doesn't resemble much of Headrooms(except maybe zybex?) and Burn In Noises. But then again, I don't know. I think just saying plain psytrance and then excluding the main styles of psytrance is hard to go suggesting anything from. Quote
mars Posted June 15, 2009 Posted June 15, 2009 Nexus Media music maybe ? South African psytrance is pretty unique. http://www.nexus-media.co.za/ Quote
Ormion Posted June 15, 2009 Posted June 15, 2009 Nexus Media music maybe ? South African psytrance is pretty unique. http://www.nexus-media.co.za/ This and any Timecode stuff. But they may be a bit too aggressive for your taste. Quote
Oopie Posted June 15, 2009 Posted June 15, 2009 I found the Burn In Noise album to be average. It has a sort of "settle for less" attitude like a lot of full-on does. these two might make your day thou? manifold / mental suggestion tryambaka / the colour of time and perhaps this older release: psydrop / fantasy seeds manifold / shiva gluk http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g4mQlawXBxs psydrop / fear and loathing tryambaka / i saw your saw http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uXwusi9PATw Quote

Drosophila Posted June 17, 2009 Posted June 17, 2009 If u like good psychedelic progressive (which indeed is very scares theses days) you should try the new Zenon Records compilation VA - Permutations Vol. 2, it really has some good quality, deep, crunchy and psychedelic tracks on it! Other than that the "obvious" candidate would be Braincell (especially his album Transformation Of Reality) for some high quality psytrance. Other compilations from Glowing Flame Records that are definitely worth checking out are The Well of Enchanted Sounds and VA - Imaginarity. Quote
fluffymushi Posted June 17, 2009 Posted June 17, 2009 'psysex - healing' is quite psytranchish & might meet your criteria. Quote

Sure, Zenon Records is always on my list, just like Cosmic Conspiracy Records. I have everything from both labels. The music released by them can indeed be called Progressive Psytrance, while european progressive labels become more and more cheesy. Anyway, thanks to everybody for the recommendations so far. Quote
Laserflip Posted June 18, 2009 Posted June 18, 2009 Check out Wildthings and Free-Spirit Records. Quote
lumpi Posted June 18, 2009 Posted June 18, 2009 Zenon rec, no doubt about that you may also like: Various - Primordial (Bio-Sine rec) Anakoluth - Dwelling In The Void EP free download Anakoluth - Beyond Reach EP free download (hail ektoplazm:)) Solar Spectrum - Planes Of Existence (Free Freak Music) Quote
LLB Posted June 18, 2009 Posted June 18, 2009 I retain one word you said "funky", So i think about Haltya, have you ever heard them or any Finnish artist coz they have lots of funk influences in the Suomi school. => http://www.saikosounds.com/english/display...ase.asp?id=7089 More recently in a close genre, forest trance there's the debut album of Ozmali - Forest Fusion => http://www.saikosounds.com/english/display...ase.asp?id=7948 Quote
psytones Posted June 18, 2009 Posted June 18, 2009 any GOOD modern Psytrance?! For me, the Russian freaks of Osom is what Modern PsyTrance is about. It's totally highly Technological Acid to the Fluoro bone. Very HighTechAcidPsyDunkaDunk Quote

I just sold it yesterday. But dude, i just listened to samples of Solar Spectrum - Planes Of Existence (Free Freak Music). Sounds very promising, i will get this for sure. Judging from the samples there is no bad track, all tracks sound wonderful. Finally a light at the end of the tunnel! Thanks a lot for recommending it! I will check those free releases as well, and sooner or later all the other stuff you guys mentioned. BoomBam Quote
Drosophila Posted June 18, 2009 Posted June 18, 2009 did anybody say funky?! I really don't think anybody does better than "the Finish", a very good (and for free) albums is: Lightaman Jr - Warm Up (Antiscarp) a few years old but Pepe never goes wrong ED2: especially Air Scooter is bloody nice og my funky god ED: actually I never really checked out Cosmic Conspiracy Records since I have avoided most prog the last few years , but if they are anything like zenon I will check them out Quote
yerg Posted June 18, 2009 Posted June 18, 2009 Talpa - Art Of being Non Talpa - When the Somberness Becomes a Game Artifakt - Artifakts Artifakt - Artifakts II Artifakt - The Magus Principles Of Flight - Chaos Opera i consider these to be GOOD modern Psytrance Quote
amphiton Posted June 18, 2009 Posted June 18, 2009 Check Braincell, Solar Spectrum is his side-project. Quote
Hexfire Posted June 18, 2009 Posted June 18, 2009 Try Paul Taylor - High Life At least, it's exactly what I would describe as "psytrance" (nightpsy maybe) (not goa, prog, full-on or darkpsy). Quote
Ake Posted June 20, 2009 Author Posted June 20, 2009 while browsing on Zenon Record's myspace site, i spotted the label 24/7 Media and checked samples of their newest releases on beatport. sounds quite interesting. didn't like everything but they seem to have some good artists and tracks. Quote
Laserflip Posted June 20, 2009 Posted June 20, 2009 Check out Antu Records if ur into Free-Spirit/Nano/Alchemy sound. They have some EP's on Beatport and 2 CD-Releases. Quote
CosmoNaughty Posted June 20, 2009 Posted June 20, 2009 I really like Japanese act Ancient Beach Quote
