GagaISM Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 BTM - Bochumer Ton Manufaktur Profile: BTM was founded in 1995 as label for german psychedelic Trance and revived by Sha Ka Ree in '97. BTM is known for an experimental style of Psy-Trance which is mainly produced around its homebase in the middle of the Ruhr-area, better known as 'Ruhrpott', the old industrial core of Germany and Europe with about 5 Million inhabitants. The BTM-Trance-Compilation branded the slogan ‚Boa Sound‘, standing for a more urban variation of the wide spread ‚Goa Trance‘. With the 'downBTMbient'-Compilation a brand for the BTM-Ambient releases was introduced. Home label for D.I.M.O. http://www.discogs.com/label/BTM%20-%20Bochumer%20Ton%20Manufaktur?sort=format%2Casc Anyone into this label? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoLoUr DoTZ Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 I got 2 singles 407 and 408. They are both very nice. Rip Van hippy is more funky and freaky-trippy, Biot´s "Solstream" is a super uplifting morning tune. I don´t know in Germany, but outside there was not too much distribution for this label, or at least I never came across many of their releases. By the way, thanks to your searching through goa history, I´m also rediscovering some gems that where hidden in some boxes.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anoebis Posted October 15, 2011 Share Posted October 15, 2011 This vinyl: http://www.discogs.com/Q-Lab-Q1/release/308041 I adore ALOT... Great slow, deep trancy stuff... Except of that, for the lovers of UX like music, but earlier... http://www.discogs.com/Shin-Innocent-Motivation-Beltane/release/209070 Except of that some PERFECT tracks were released bij Biot & DIMO. Biot - Saturation is epic... My favourite cd must be http://www.discogs.com/Various-The-Boa-Sound-Of-Prokult/release/338006 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oopie Posted October 15, 2011 Share Posted October 15, 2011 BTM is one of those labels that have somewhat went under my radar. One thing is for sure - it's a unconventional label and serves as a base for more "leftfield" psytrance. I remember purchasing one of their vinyls which has an interesting track, acquired taste of course. Have a listen: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
