Psy Mixes on Area709

I have been finding some really incredible mixes out on the net and now that we have a newly completed guest mix section on the the Area709 site I would like to share those that we have chosen to showcase. I will also be posting in this thread all the psytrance mixes we have up from our resident dj's and producers. All mixes posted are in chronological order.

Description:

Completing this mix nearly got me thrown out of the house I was living in at the time because of the repetition and volume level of my endless attempts to get this mix right. Over and over and over..... and over I tried to mix this through cleanly. I was playing from vinyl and I had only just barely learned how to beat match when I began this project, my first truly contrived and painfully recorded mix. I would emerge from my bedroom after 6 to 8 hours at a go, barely able to talk to anyone, that is how zombified I was.

A couple of months went by... literally. When I finally got it, I fully broke down and balled from the release. And when I listen to it today, I still can not believe that I pulled it off, in spite of the long and off beat transition from track 7 to track 8. In fact I doubt I could repeat some sections of it without getting some serious practice time in, some of the transitions in the first third of the mix required that I mix 70-80% of each track, leaving me with as little as 20 sec to cue and bring in the next track. For me as a beginner, it was pretty much impossible. As well, at the time I did not realize that Mumbo Jumbo and Cosmosis were the same fellow, otherwise I would not have put so many tracks by he same person in the mix. No wonder they went so well together! I actually got him to sign my original beat up copy of Intergalactic when Norris and I played before him at Motion Notion in 2004, Bilbo Baggins is a pretty friendly fella it turns out.

One last thing that I have never pointed out to anyone about this mix is that on track two there is a vocal where a female voice (Wynonna Ryder from Alien Resurrection) says "It's not real, it's not real!", and the last track of this mix has a male vocal that says "it's your mind that makes it real", how's that for programming? Ha! Can anyone say GEEK?!?! In the end all the effort was worth it as the mix made it's way to some really incredible people in Colorado and I ended up doing a three gig mini tour, the final event being at the UFO Watchtower in Sand Dune National Monument (where they filmed the desert scenes in Star Wars!) alongside Kode IV on the summer solstice. It was an incredible experience to say the least.

Description:

This is my attempt at a harder but not necessarily full-on psytrance mix. I wanted to keep it seriously driving but somehow maintain some depth to it. This one was a struggle for me, and nearly did not get completed. As I was in the middle of the last mix which is actually three tracks in at the same time, my house mates visiting father answered the phone which happened to be for me (of course!) and proceeded to insist that I take the call. I managed to ignore him long enough to not ruin the whole recording, and I did not miss the call. Ha!

Tracklist:

1. Seeka - Thirst
2. Son Kite - Youngel
3. Zertonine - Acid Theater
4. Igneous Sauria - Metamorph
5. Visual Paradox - Laughing Dog on Bog

14. Fly Agaric - I See Myself


Reviews:

Just listened to the Dreamseek mix and its great, a very nice tribal touch in your selection, I like percussions in my set too. The mixing is very good as well, did you record it all in one shot? Keep good. - Uv @ doof records.

Dreamseek is SO wicked, I listened to it on my stereo at home and thought it was all right...but on my discman it just sounds like 100 times better and trippier, I think I'm just picking up on a lot of sounds I missed before. I love how deep and dark it is! - Irena

This has always been my favorite of everything you've ever done Darvin, it's always a freq player in my bedside player. - anonymous

This is a dark, moody, edgy set that hits hard and deep all the way through. The work of someone that knows how to set a theme early and keep it going until the last driving beat. Great stuff. - James

Description:

This one is a JOURNEY. I know, I know everyone says that about their mixes, but we played for over FOUR HOURS on Friday night, the first night ever of the new trance stage at Shambhala. Due to bandwidth considerations, this mix had to be broken into three sections. As well this is not a live mix, but a remix of the exact set we played. This first section invites those standing in the shadows to come forward and surrender themselves to the waves of sound. It has moments of broken beat madness as well as those throbbing psytrance basslines that have the ability to mesmerize and send the mind soaring.

TRACKLIST:

1. Atmos - Fill The Hat
2. Cosma - Out Of Range
3. Cosma - Non Stop
4. Son Kite - Airplay
5. The Light - Expand the Room

REVIEWS:

I am glad I found your site and this mix. Fantastic. Comments on das Shambhala mix: The first thing that strikes me with the beginning of this mix is the smoothness. Great Mixing. I had to really listen close to find your mixes, but when I sensed the elements of the next song, it was very smooth...Great Job! Track selection was great...kept the forward momentum flowing, but certainly pointing towards an end destination. I have all too many times heard some DJ?s just play tracks with no direction, no purpose, or where the set plateaus and never goes anywhere. You guys lay down the mix with authority. Keep it rolling. I liked a track in there that had school children singing ?ashes we all fall down?. Sweet! - Todd Smith

Mad work! Really great mix of elements and beats, so far so great into the first hour. - Olas

I like how you blended a lot of progressive sounds with a few full tracks, and even a little euro in there too. Nice across the board set. - Paradigm

REVIEWS:

After going through all 4 hours of this mix, I'm left speechless wishing I would've been there to see it live. Such a winding trip through an eclectic selection of tracks; and the energy and heart from these two can be felt all the way through. I absolutely love it and will be listening to it over and over for days to come. - Wes Straub

Awesome opening on Part 2...I love how psy-trance can get away with making beautiful tracks that you just would not hear in a club otherwise. I love the ethnic flair at the beginning of this mix, the female vocal echoes and ethnic drums pander lightly, you really bring some great elements in here and slowly ever so slowly comes the beat, ready to take flight. The synths scream from the darkness catching up with the beats and finally the bass line takes root moving away the ethereal, back to a more psy-trance feel into the depths of bass. The mix continues on with a consistent energy, nice explosive breaks and re-entries. And another open vocal break drifting away from the heavy bass lines about 1/3 way through only to tease you and SLAM right back into beats and bass lines, AWESOME. The mix continues in a hard fashion, and then releasing to a trippier plane of existence, with the roars of delayed 303?s and echoes and eventually running through thickets of deep and organic sounds. Tasty goodness to send your head spinning, feet moving, body shaking, and mind exploding. The track selection is top notch for this journey. You just get more pumped up, as this mix moves forward. More vocals sneak in, a little more of a surprise about 2/3 way through. And I think this is one of the surprises of the mix. It is some sort of a cappella, maybe not specifically written for a psy-trance track, but it fit in the mix. Refreshing changes, and pushing the musical envelope requires changes to include the unexpected. This is an example of how to push that envelope with success, while retaining the essence of the mix. It stands out enough, but never too far out to the listener to say ?what the f**k is that??. Another example of this is a brassy horn ensemble that follows shortly after the a cappella, with a mix of saxophone and trombones also with sliding guitar notes matching the horns. Something not the usual in a psy-trance set, but this is what I like about it. - Todd Smith

Description:

This last section begins with us slipping in a beautiful breaks track then touching again on darker psy sounds. As the sun was coming up we let loose the more melodic sounds. It was one very long set, and seeing smiles on the faces of those who stayed to the end was more than enough of a reward for the effort we put into it. Thank you to all the beautiful souls that joined us and we hope you enjoy this recording, may it bring us all back to that special time and place.

REVIEWS:

Dear Darvin, this is Mirka from Vancouver. I just wanted to drop you a line and say hello and let you know that Jay blessed me with the third disc of your Shambhala set last year. HOLY CRAP!!!!!!!!! I wish I could have been there...honestly I have never heard anything so creative from someone in a very long time. I feel like I actually got to know you a bit by listening to this disc. I can hardly wait to have pts 1 & 2 so I can piece the puzzle together more accurately. I have not been this sonically challenged since I stumble upon Treavor's set around the same time last year. You truly have raised the bar for me personally and I am once again encouraged to fear nothing and be true to what is in my heart. I have secretly harbored a love for dark music for so long and you actually play some tracks I own!!!!!! Wavy Gravy (not a surprise) but the big surprise was the Atmos track, at least I think it's called that (I am at home so I am not able to refer to my collection) I will check it when I get home and let you know which one I mean. I have been playing that for a year now and people never seemed to get it in Vancouver but there you are playing it and I felt my heart leap!!!! SOMEONE GETS IT Thank you so much for this, even though I acquired it secondhand, and I extend my sincerest apologies if I seen neurotic or over enthusiastic but to be honest I meet very few people who I can communicate with musically and even though I really haven't been able to talk with you for long I know you are just like me. Love Mirka - Blacktiger Recordings

In this third section, the breaks are well timed, giving you time to catch up. I sometimes think I might need a few more, so you could take a rest from dancing. But then again I was never a super energized sustainable dancer for 2-3 hours. Sasha's Wavy Gravy...didn't expect to hear that, but nice for a sustained moment of relaxation then back into the fray of Psy-Trance. Dive, Dive, Dive!!!! Keep it going strong and push that musical envelope, that is the only way we evolve. - Todd Smith

Description:

Based on a set I played at a fetish masquerade party, it is every bit as deep, dark and sexy as I envisioned it. During my set performers spun fire chains, as well as were pierced by rather large gauge hooks through their back. Pleasure and pain are such strange bedfellows.

Reviews:

Just wanted to let you know that I listen to your mixes all the time while I'm working. They are definatly some of the most insightfull and intelligent sets I've heard in awhile. Children Of The Night is one of my favorites. Anyways just wanted to give you a shout out for the great mixes. - J-Byrd

You have a superb flow! - Dave

Man, this mix is so damn good. It's really tripping me out. I think I might have to buy your cd of this. Is it full CD quality? Like burned from a wav file, not mp3? - Osteen

Hey Darvin, just starting to listen to your stuff! THANK YOU so much for making this available online...you have what I crave, baby WOOOHOO!! When you coming to Vancouver? - Squishelle

Right on brotha, this s**t is tight. Don't suppose you'll be on the east coast anytime will ya? You should get in on the Gaian Mind festival in June! - Max

I've just had a chance to listen to the full stream and this is quite a nice mix you've put together. Most of the tracks I haven't heard, but there's a couple that are real stormers! I especially like track four, and a very nice transition into it I might add. There's only about 3 or 4 tracks that I'd consider my typical PSY listening style, but overall I thought you did a great job with most mixes. Very nice set! 8.5/10 - TwoHardCore

I love these sleek proggy scandosounds... it's aural sex. ^_^ I'm only on the third track or so, but it's 0wning me already. - Grahf

Very good! Solid mix. I'm glad I decided to check it out. It's been awhile since I heard a mix like this, and it was really refreshing. Good job! I look forward to hearing more. - Dylan Leroy

Wow. I love how the start is so minimal and it gradually sucks you in. I listened to it at a time when I was in a lot of physical pain and it grabbed my mind and took me away on a peaceful journey... and when I came back I actually decided that winter was beautiful (if you know me - you know I am the queen of winter hating and that is a big acomplishment). Thank you for the awesome gifts you keep bringing to this community. - Heather

Very well mixed. Good track selection too...EDIT: Just have to double that! Actually it's quite a while since I heard something that was as great as this! Keep up the good work! - Ziddy

Wow....opening track is making me crazy! Amazing work, I think this is my favorite one of yours. - Michelle-y

Description:

On this mix I wanted to try and push the envelope a little bit. A dark and techish beginning followed by a lot of full on melodic trance. I was going through a bit of a rough time during the creation of this mix. I felt as though I had to purge a few demons from my system.

Description:

This is not a live recording. The set was recorded live, but was full of distortion from the mixer. That seriously sucks since we had an extra hour recorded when we jammed with Treavor Moontribe. Fek. This recording is still pretty great though, and we are proud to have it up for people to check out. Motion Notion 2004 was an incredible event (THANK YOU JAMES!!), and for us to be wedged between Tipper and Treavor Moontribe was unreal. People were freaking out, and to our total delight the northern lights even shone brightly in the sky while we played.....how's that for visuals eh!??! Ha!!

Reviews:

I'll say it once , Ill say it twice.. and maybe a few more times after: That was one of ze bests sets i've heard... eva. You guys were super that night. - Nadine

Three key parts of this set that I absolutely love. The slow start, which makes me imagine people just swaying from side to side like blades of grass in the wind. This is in contrast to the moments around the 68 and 100 minute marks that just about give me an aneurysm every time I listen. You guys did a fantastic job pacing the set. I've heard relentless full-on sets that have left me numb after 20 minutes, but this one turns up the heat at the perfect moments and just leaves me blown away. I'll probably anticipate your next set at more than the headliner next year at Motion Notion, unless Katalyst happens to land Sphongle - Anonymous

Sons Of Aurora, amazing set. Since I made the journey from Winnipeg City to Motion Notion this summer, I've always acknowledged your set as one of the finest that weekend. So, I was incredibly pleased to find out that it was available online! Awesome set!! It reminds me so much of that wonderful weekend at Motion Notion this past summer... Keep on rockin' in the psy world..... - Chris (aka lo progression)

Hey guys! I just wanted to tell you how I was blown away by your set at Motion Notion and your 'tag' with Moontribe afterwards. It was amazing! I know my friend e-mailed you guys already, it's was his first rave ever and you helped make it a truly unforgettable experience. We are both huge fans now and it's exciting to know there is such great talent coming out of our home town! Have listened to the Motion Notion mix and the Shambhala mix and I can't stop! Thanks again for sharing your talent and love with us at Motion Notion. Take care and keep making great music! - Tyler

Darvin and Norris, What can I say but thank you for making Motion Notion for me. You guys kicked some serious ass with your tunes and mixing, such a nice buildup, slowly starting off the set getting everyone warmed up. The whole time I was thinking oh my god, these guys are building to something insane! And you did not disappoint, there were times on the dance floor I was just blown away, the builds and breakdowns were so good! At times I just wanted to scream out my appreciation, but I had no air in my lungs from dancing so hard, those moments I opened my mouth in stunned appreciation. And that track with the evil laugh before the music dropped into insanity was absoulutely sick! We who saw you that night (or any night for that matter) are truly blessed to have you guys playing music for us! Thank you thank you thank you! - Craig.

Description:

These are some tracks I had been playing over the summer, along with some of the ones I had played at the Halloween Party at Weed's, and a few tossed in as the mix progressed. I wanted to keep it as close to a live feel as possible, which is why not every mix is perfect. Sometimes mixed sets are done over and over and over again, becoming very clinical and tight, but losing any kind of spontanaity and breathability. Some of my favorite mixes are live ones, where the chance for mistakes exist; you can hear the DJ working. Not unlike this one. Done in one shot; no edits, no breaks... no chaser.

Description:

To me psyprog is one of the most creative and cutting edge sounds being produced right now in the world of electronica. It has elements of tribal house, progressive house, tech trance, psytrance and ambient/down tempo.

I am often temped to play a whole set of it when performing but I usually always step up into harder psytrance as I am worried that dancers will not find it intense enough. This recording was an attempt to show that this music can be all one needs. I wanted a CD that did not deviate from the progressive sound and to do that I stayed away from any tracks that had a classic reverberating psytrance bassline of any sort.

Compiling this mix took me approximately 40 hours, and it very nearly drove me totally bonkers as I was having some serious issues with direction and transitions. When I attempted to mix it however I got it on the first try so I was very happy about that as I was dreading another couple of weeks of trying to get it mixed well enough that I was satisfied with it. It is not as tight as other mixes of mine, but I was inspired by Rusty's mix ONE SHOT NO CHASER, and as well by conversations I had shared with him about what a good mix cd should be: that flaws are exciting and add a element of humanity to a CD.

And I had to add a little hats off to my close friend Jay (Jintonik) at the very end of my mix by borrowing an idea he used at the start of his WAY TO GILEAD mix. Feel free to share your thoughts on this one!

Reviews:

What do you mean coming soon? This thing is pretty wicked in its current state. Still the master of driving and techy minimalistic madness. - Wes

Powerful spontaneous emission, Nokturnal... enjoyed the flow for sure...very interesting segues give good groove. - Azul

Darvin, I love the new psy mix! Antix: Lull has been my favorite psytrance cd for about 5 months now, I even thought about emailing you when I first heard track 1, Darko. I though "now THIS, is trance!". I crave that minimal progressive sound. We just got hooked up with high speed here at our new house in Halifax. Being able to listen to the 709 mixes whenever I want is such a treat, I will always plug the site and support you guys. Keep up the great work and I hope that 2005 brings you much joy. Miss you and everyone else in Calgary, peace. - Ben

I thought the music was AWESOME! Do you ever travel down to the states? - Mama Gaea

You BEATFREAK, Absolutely Unbelievable! LUNA TECH is one of the best sets I have ever heard. I need to get this one! - Francescobubbles

Awesome mix mate... I like it! - Dan

Nice choons... I really liked your mix! - Amanita

Hello, I really like this mix... some nice progressive in here, and mixed really well. Keep it up! - Sunrunner

Wow... this is beautiful, I love it!! - Pax

This mix is incredible, I absolutely love it. I just burned a copy and I can't wait to listen to it full blast in my car. I can't get past the 3rd track, I just keep listening to that one over and over! Seriously, there's nothing I don't love about that track; the floating, the echo-y sounds, and how pensive it is at first, and how it gets just a touch nastier towards the end. Its a definite bum wiggler babe... a bum wiggler indeed. And the female vocal that whispers "our house", its hot. Hot hot hot. I loooove it. - Irena

Description:

Well it has it's bright spots and it's rough spots, but overall we think it's a pretty decent mix. It's always interesting to discover how all the little mistakes are almost unnoticeable when you play live, but then they are much more evident when listened to on a home or computer stereo. But you also get a feeling for the spontaneous element in a live mix which makes it so magical. We had a blast playing at Upplysa and this recording is a collection of our most recent favorite proggy psy tracks so we hope you enjoy it. =)

Mystic Revelation by Basilisk

Genre: Psytrance - Full On
Length: 1:10:59

Listen / Download Here: http://www.area709.com/basilisk/music/mix/118/



Description:

Composed as an experiment in harmonic mixing, Mystic Revelation is a curious blend of contrasts, uniting the forces of dark and light exploring dark and light in a driven melodic journey. Ninja’s Showtime kicks it off, immediately involving the listener in a deep fusion of full-on energy and balanced atmospheric sounds. The slightly Gothic character of the mix becomes apparent by the time Dark Soho’s track glides in. The keystone is Logic Bomb’s Marauder 2, the strongest example of the yin and yang contrasts evident throughout the tale. Soon the mix takes a deeper turn, diving into the holy choirs of Infected Mushroom’s Facing and mysterious vibrations of Meller’s Valhalla. The story concludes with The Higher Human Form’s I Hear Them Call, an ethereal comedown possessed with an epic quality. Check ektoplazm.com for more!

1. Ninja (Oxygen) - Showtime
2. Mr. Peculiar (Spirit Zone) - Alien Mushrooms

Description:

Exactly as my girl Irena ordered, each track and transition approved by her, this mix is deep, dark, dirty and very progressive. We had a VERY hard to compiling this one; making a cd with another person did make the process a long one but it was also something we both really enjoyed. This mix was also the nucleus of the set Norris and I played at Motion Notion this year. This is our attempt at staying true to the progy house/progy psy sound for a solid 80 min. Enjoy!

2. Sharon and Robert - Desire

Reviews:

I have just stumbled across this, and can't stop playing it! It's not as if I even don't get out much. Sublime. Cheers! :-)

Well, what can I say? Another rock-fucking-solid mix! Nice work! - Solomoon

Love this, sounds awesome!! - Anonymous

Good sounds man! - Anonymous

Nice indeed! I think you achieved what you intended...or that your gf intended?! Cheers! - Anonymous

Overall great track selection, and the flow is pretty good as well, although it does lose a bit too much energy at times. The mixes are mostly pretty long and smooth, apart from a couple of sections where it is slighly offbeat, and generally I found the whole thing a good listen - Profane

Nice mix man - Cubed

Some killer tracks in here Darvin, reminds me of Motion Notion.... I make a "whip" sound at Nokturnal cuz of your girls involvement. I think you should have to have a duo DJ name for this mix since its a collaborative effort - Sundrop

Nokturnal your progpsy sets are easily the best on tranceaddict.com. I still listen to the previous one you did. This one is great too. More plz - THE Chris

Props for a Canadian (Calgary at that) Psy DJ... BTW, your guys set at Motion Notion this year was SAVAGE!!... Excellent opening set for John 00 Fleming... Thumbsup! - J:Digital

Description:

Here is a live recording of my set at Harvest Festival 2006! Naturally it isn’t as polished as my studio mixes, but it sounds good enough to send around. As I was opening the trance tent at 9:00 PM, the intent behind this performance was to get the night started right, beginning with an old favorite from 1992. From there I dig into progressive trance and tribal house territory, keeping it all fairly low-key. The final half hour picks up the pace, taking the crowd on an electro-influenced roller coaster ride designed to get everyone pumped and psyched for a full night of dancing and celebration. Enjoy!

Description:

I wanted to showcase a few of my favorite unreleased tracks due out on Zenon Records compilations this summer as well as a track by Anna (Anarchy) and another by Mikkel (NASA). These tunes have me pretty excited to be getting out to the festivals and start letting the gems rip!!! This mix was a challenge as I had a fairly small pool of tracks to work with, and was also limited by the keys I could work in. And to top it off, my laptop and sound card decided to add a few artifacts to the recording which I did not realize until I was done, and will go back in and remove once I get my technical issues sorted out.

My thanks to Tim (Sensient), Tetrameth, Shadow Fx, One Tastey Morsel, Phat Kontrollerz, and Autonomech for letting me put this mix together to showcase their ridiculously awesome talents.

I will be playing many of these tracks out this weekend at Alliance in Vancouver this Saturday night, so if you want to here this stuff loud and clear, get your butt out and come and dance!!!

Tracklist:

1. Shadow Fx - Dr Elephant
2. Suncontrolspecies – Coma CDR
3. Phat Kontrollerz - Track 8 CDR

Seriously wikid. This is the kind of trance I crave to move with - and it's intricate and lyrical enough to sit and listen to. A rare thing for me. I love trance but generally can't listen to it at home... thanks Darvin, BOOM! - Synaesthesia

I enjoyed it very much! Listened to it driving to work this morning - luvlee driving music it is... would love it on the dancefloor as well! Man I love that dark proggy minimal (and whatever else) sound. Great tracks and nice'n'smoove mixing (not to be confused with Nice'n'Smoove of the early 90's rap scene). Cheers - Rosco.

Smooth and sexy as usual! - Solomoon

We LOVE your new mix for Zenon, it's exactly the type of psy that we enjoy! - Karen and Dave

Really good new sounding and original tracks, and really solid mixes, it's excellent - Craig

About Meghan / Valentine's Day Mix 2007

Here's a mix that I recorded shortly after midnight on Valentine's Day...enjoy!

DJ Meghan has been in the EDM scene since the spring of 1998 when her then boyfriend/now husband took her to her first event. She instantly became addicted to it and a year and a half later, in the fall of 1999, decided to buy 2 Technics 1200 MKII turntables and a Pioneer DJM 300 mixer. In the spring of 2000, she had her first gig (Think Different) in Columbus, OH and has been spinning out on a regular basis ever since.

She started spinning mostly techno, progressive house and progressive trance but every now and then would also buy some psytrance records to add to her collection.

It wasn't until early 2003 when she decided to get more involved with spinning psytrance when DJ Malachi (Goahead Productions) persuaded her to do so. She found it difficult to buy psytrance on vinyl and noticed that a lot of it was only available on CD, so at the end of 2003, she bought her first Pioneer CDJ 1000.

Meghan is now a very well known DJ in the Eastern Midwest, and her sets will take you on a journey, with mixes that are very well constructed using tracks from all genres of psytrance music.

Track List:

1. Shaman : Structure of Sound : Dance n Dust
2. Perfect Stranger : Hyperdrive : Iboga
3. Liquid Soul : Capoccino : Iboga
4. Nyquist : Oliver Twist : Blue Tunes
5. Klopfgeister : Sunflavour : Iono Music

8. Human Blue : Fingerwaltz : Transient

About Organic Manic / Eschatology

Eschatology: The Greek word meaning "age", may be translated as "end of the age (or historical period)" instead of "end of the world".

This mix was the first mix compiled after I switched platforms from cd's/vinyl to Lap top. The new interface really allowed me to mix the hell out of some tracks. I think the first three mixes and the last one are my favorites. This mix was designed to move through minimal psygressive, pumpin psygressive and finally a bit a of peak time fun. I enjoyed making this mix and I hope you enjoy listening to it.

1. Escape Sequence - Shadow Fx & Tetrameth

About Organic Manic / Arcanum

Arcanum: 1. A deep secret; a mystery. 2. Specialized knowledge or detail that is mysterious to the average person 3. A secret essence or remedy; an elixir.

This mix was inspired by the great minimal psytrance minds in Australia , New Zealand and Denmark. It was also inspired by the psychedelic musings and insights of the late & great comedian/philosopher Bill Hicks. I have to admit I was a bit unaware of the existence of such good beats up until about a year ago. I bought a Tetrameth cd and it snowballed from there. The result of that discovery and subsequent revelations was this mix. It really came together unconsciously and is one of my favorite mixes, I hope you enjoy.

1. Intro - Positive Lsd Story - Bill Hicks

Description:

Since I had a wicked time DJing at Dark Matter 2 on June 9th, 2007, I am very glad to say that the live recording of my set turned out well enough to warrant sharing it! This set features several different styles of full-on psychedelic trance, moving from dark and aggressive beats through a series of heavy hitters into an upbeat and euphoric conclusion. With a full two hours to work with, I was able to orchestrate a complete tour of the harmonic spectrum, eventually ending with a song from Logic Bomb’s new album, just as the set began. I would like to dedicate this one to all those who came out on Saturday and gave their best on the dance floor. It was a small party, but it seemed like we all had a blast! Enjoy the tunes and remember to check ektoplazm.com for more!

Description:

We are VERY happy with how our set came together for this years Motion Notion festival, so we decided to record it afterwards here at home and post it up for others to enjoy. This year we were wedged between two full-on psy performers, with Wizzy Noise being the act to follow us, so our set was meant to be a roller coaster through driving minimal tech, progressive and full-on psy. Add to that the fact that our set started out with hot dry sky's filled with stars and ended during a MASSIVE rain/thunder storm with tornado warnings for the area in effect... talk about INTENSE!!!! In the end our laptop finally stopped working and our fear was that it had actually shorted out due to the rain but the next day it started up without a hitch which was a HUGE relief. Our goal was to keep everyone engaged, twist a few noodles and not burn people out on the full-on. From all the super-positive feedback I think we managed to kick some ass!! Many of the tracks are killer classics, with a few shinny new ones thrown in, and the overall flow is a bit of a journey so sit back and imagine the thunder clouds closing in from behind, and as the mix ends the rain is coming down with a vengeance and the clouds are swirling with the threat of tornadoes. They don't call us Sons of Aurora for nothing....

Comments:

Definitely enjoyed myself dancing to you're set at mono this year! Thanks for the download - Dentaku

Psytrance isn't my thing, but I can dig it bro! Nice work. Sound's like a party. Wish I wasn't stuck here in boring old Norway. - Joe

Hey Guys, I am listening to your mix and its sounding awesome!!! THanks for posting that! Keep up the great work! Can't wait to see u guys live sometime soon! Thanks!! - Khan

I just want to say I love the new site and I listen to a tonne of music on there. You guys are officially my favorite music source. Thanks for everything - Morgan

I wanted to see you on the Sunday before we left but never got to. I wanted to run up to you and bow down to you! Your set was amazing! Can't wait for Burning Man.... - Tammy

Awesome set at MoNo! That crazy electrical storm in he sky during your set really unidentified it for me! Oh man did i get soaked. ahaha. Anywhooo. Thanks again for the beats which my ears and my heart enjoy sooo much! - Cheyenne

Great set at MN guys! Always one of the highlights of the event! - Tyler Fish

Sick, Sick, Sick - As I write this I am in a tugboat doing an assist job off of the Coast. Heres the situation: Large container ship, lost steering hydraulics we hooked up last night, and are now putting 22000 Horsepower to the water to pull this thing to safety. two caterpillar 3616 diesels are screaming at 105%. (thats over 145DB in the engine room) - So we have a 24000 Watt stereo with like 30 speakers above to blast dampening sound waves to quite it down. In addition to dampening it can play music over the noise, at the same time. Right now we are smashing through 50 swells, and listening to this mix. - As I have swayed to the green side - I saddens me that we are burning diesel at the rate of 14 gallons a minute. (faster than a garden hose can deliver) But break up a 1000 foot container ship on the rocks and see what happens, so I guess this is the lessor of two evils. - And thanks to Globalstar - I am streaming this on a satphone. So at least we are doing it all in style I love technology - I love it - Later - mdmf007

About Isoterra / Subconciousness Volume 6

My name is Rich (or RJ), and I was born on the 16th of August, 1985... in Bristol, England. Around 1996 I took a fascination for music and despite not being able to play an instrument, set my sights on making it one day. Through 98 and 99, my tastes became more focused on trance, particularly the European style pioneered by Ferry Corsten & others. In 2002, I first picked up a copy of Fruityloops & have been using it until this present day...

'Isoterra' is my primary, solo production guise; the name basically means 'common ground'. I have experimented with various types of trance under this guise, as well as the occasional breaks/chillout piece. Other projects I'm involved in are 'Terrafusion' and 'Neonate'. Terrafusion is a collaborative project with Omar Avila, a melodic genius from Canada, and is more focused on full-on epic uplifting style stuff. Neonate is a collaboration with fellow UK producer Michael Trenfield.

Track List:

Flowjob - Run Baby Run
Forerunners - Lifecycle (leo g remix)
Perfect Stranger & Ace Ventura - Perfect Ace (atmos remix)

About DJ Syrius / Kluastanna

This mix was done in my home studio where I use denons dns3500 along
with a djm800 mixer. The intension of this mix is for you to let go of
yourself and fall back in the arms of the Edm (psytrance) world. It
starts out with a blinding track from Synsun (MDK) which is one of my
favorite tracks, (Once the concept of the individual is sot after only then
will he release that truth is the only answer and love is the perfect
key!).

I've Been mixing for around 12yrs have been through most styles. I
Started out as a bedroom dj using technics 1210's and a crap mixer, all for
my own pleasure. After about a year or so messing about and learning
tricks etc etc. I started to go public and got myself some local
parties & small venues mixing house, garage, and techno.

Recently I have been doing a lot of clubs and private functions that last for days on end (illegal
parties, shhh, nothing Beats a weekender) and have become psychedelicly
attracked to the Acid/Trance/Psy/Goa scene for the last 2 or 3 years. You can
catch me mixing live online every saturday night @
http://www.transmissionfm.com and on the trance stream at 9pm Uk Time
Zone!

Description:

Here is a mix based on the set I played at Earthdance this year. This was my first attempt at putting together a mix/set, and although I had some apprehensions about it (not having any DJ training whatsoever), I was very satisfied by the outcome. I wanted to showcase some of my favorite tracks from this year as well as a few classics that have graced many a mix here on Area709. It starts with a gem of a track that pays tribute to the greatest rock band of all time, which helped to transition from the live rock/funk band into a set of dance music. From there it weaves through progressive house, psytrance and ends with chunky, minimal psytech. I would like to dedicate this mix to the DJs of Area709, whose mixes provide me with a constant supply of fresh sounds that fuel my creative fires, as well as keeping me dancing in my living room all the time! I hope you enjoy the tunes, and feel free to leave comments/criticisms. Peace and light.
