LIFTSHIFT - Vision Heir E.P (Free-Spirit Records)
LIFTSHIFT - Vision Heir
P.R by DMG
Liftshift springs forth dumping into our consciousness a brand new release, Vision Heir, which is as demanding of attention as an ice cream store is on a hot summer’s day and once you have indulged in it, as with that ice cream, it will be forever etched in your memory. Busting out all over the place Liftshift is a regular feature on the psy-trance party and festival circuit and as a producer can be found across all manner of labels and compilations. This new two-track EP released by everybody’s favourite London all-things-psychedelic, Free-Spirit Records, who’s own discography grows by the week and satisfies all comers to the genre. Track one is called Ethnic Proportions, the name of the track unveiling somewhat the tribal atmosphere bound to be unleashed upon the listener. Liftshift is of the progressive psychedelic persuasion where often not a lot goes on but that cannot be said of this piece, with an ethereal base there is definitely an atmosphere of exultation throughout and through the track’s progression so does that mood further soar, first teasingly before going all out taking the listener to the boundaries of the universe where interaction with other life forms is now a real possibility. By dropping in some percussion serves merely to reinforce the celebratory nature of what has been achieved and if you don’t have head and hands in the heavens on completion it must only be because you have none. Track two, Vision Heir, is a tad more grounded so that the greater response is to go a stomping, visions of dust clouds being raised as a result are not too hard to conjure. Once it has been confirmed that this is the correct response it is time to go no nonsense but before you get too carried away with this pre-occupation it is worthwhile acknowledging the room that has still been provided to allow interactions between beings of shared desires as a lightness of spirit maintains to pervade in the inherent organic earthliness of the raw componentry. Come up for air and everything has now changed. These two tracks bound to be popping up in DJ sets across the psy-planet and break down dance floors in equal measure. Now, did someone mention ice cream?
Liftshift
Since Eric Bijl started producing his own music in 2003 putting the trance vibe into his own music, he took off on a journey that would soon take him to many dance-floors worldwide to play his fat and unique progressive sound.
Since that time he has been releasing on labels like Echoes, Neurobiotic, Flow, Spin Twist and Plusquam frequently placing himself high in the top 10 of the Beatport charts if not on a No.1 position.
These successes have taken him from Universo Paralello festival in Brazil, Boom in Portugal to Summer Never Ends festival and Timegate in Switzerland as well as the classical surrounding of ancient Italy for the infamous Sonica Gatherings and Trimurti festival in the Golden circle around Moscow amongst many others.
In 2010 Eric started working together with “Neurobiotic records” and released the highly acclaimed 3 track “Full Cycle” Ep as well as a remix on the “Zen Mechanics Remodified” remix album. He collaborated with Cimi (M-theory) on his album “White world bridger” from 2013 and frequently get’s his work re-released by bigger and more commercial labels.
Currently Liftshift is working on a lot of new music, to come out soon.
