Lemmiwinks Posted September 29, 2012 Posted September 29, 2012 Ah I'm sooo excited about this project. Basically I went to Ozora this summer and discovered this amazing group. 3 people, one doing a beatbox, one with a didge and one with a wierd instrument (apparently called a jew's harp?). Anyway, absolutely NO electronic instruments and yet, they were making this really cool trance! People were litteraly going crazy on the dancefloor! I've searched everywhere for the project name since they weren't in the official line-up and I've finally found them. They're name is Airtist, however almost no material on the web, just a few videos and I must admit watching them on youtube doesn't give half the experience. Still, I'm happy to share with you guys: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QfXJ8V1-Mq8&feature=fvwrel http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y53Ek_mbzhg Quote

Lemmiwinks Posted September 29, 2012 Author Posted September 29, 2012 aaah here is a complete show, it reflects much better the experience of seeing them live IMO: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RHP79X3uW0o&feature=related Quote
Procyon Posted September 29, 2012 Posted September 29, 2012 Trance is not new at all. This is a medium to trancing out better than a thousand electronic tracks I can name. Mind you: just voices and a drum... Quote
Panoptes Posted September 29, 2012 Posted September 29, 2012 edit i found out what i wanted to know. stupid question :*( Quote
Sideffect... Posted September 30, 2012 Posted September 30, 2012 At first sight it seems very original but I don't think I would listen to an entire album of this. Watching performing them live is >50% why it's so great. At home I won't have that experience... Still like the idea... Hilight tribe is more my cup of tea, also non electronic. I saw them live once for 4 hours not touching anything electronic as a matter of speech... Awesome, a bit long 4 hours, but worth seeing. When they release albums they use electronic sounds. Quote

Indeed Sideffect, you really have to see these guys live, the surprise of listening to how energetic the music is when you expect some ethnic chill-out to come out of there is like half the fun. Obviously when it's on a CD you don't really care how the sounds were made. On the other hand... am I the only one who DOESN'T like Highlight Tribe?? People always go crazy about those guys, personally I find they're just a rip-off of older "natural" morning trance bands like Medecine Drum... Quote
Goa Travellers Posted October 6, 2012 Posted October 6, 2012 I like the effort and inovation but it's too experimental to my ears Quote

Well rip off, I get your point, and agree/disagree... it's tribal trance, how varied can you go? If you know what I mean.... Quote
