X-Dream - Piece (Denstrow Boot) You - Electric Day (Denstrow Boot)

Stealing from yourself isn’t really stealing 🙂 U2 - Lemon (The Perfecto Mix) (1994). The melody starts at 00:55 Grace - Orange (Original Perfecto Mix) (1995). The melody starts at 01:28 Grace - Skin on Skin (Man With No Name Remix) (1995). The melody starts at 01:40 Virus - Moon (Jam El Mar Mix) (1997). The melody starts at 06:51

I’m continuing to collect tracks with a vibe similar to the legendary Spiritual Healing. The list has just been expanded with another track. A small list of well-known tracks that share a similar mood and melodic feel with the legendary The Muses Rapt — Spiritual Healing (1997): Terra Ferma — The Scream (1996) Future Prophecy — Sunrise (1998) Yahel — Intelligent Life (2000) Fractal — Them (1999) — also known as Fractal Glider — Acid Kill New Born — Trip of the Luna King (2007) Mindsphere — Source Of Emotions (2025)

2Penzoline: I once had a similar shock to what you’re describing when I first heard Daishonin by Amanite FX (1997). The sound is basically the same as Liquid Flow — almost identical. But it was made ten years earlier. I’m not talking about copying a melody here, only about the sound design and the clear similarity in energy and overall style. Liquid Flow - Artificial Paradise (2007) I’ve always felt that M‑Run took a lot from Joti Sidhu (Psychaos). The similarity to Ololiuqui honestly never crossed my mind, simply because that project is much less well-known. Here’s a random M-Run track as an example. To me, the resemblance to Psychaos is there — but I’m not insisting on it.

Symbiote - ...Tiara (2014) Written at 1999 (?) | A 21:21-minute track that flows and evolves throughout its entire duration — and it’s not slow either. Exactly my kind of thing. Highly recommended!

Astral Projection - Mahadeva 99

I figured that certain neural oscillations resonate with certain frequencies. Sky Input is my frequency.

Zerotonine - Lunatic

I also want to comment that I've started to think that these are not "ripoffs". Theres only so many melodies we can make before they start to repeat in some form. Life is full of patterns and we are drawn to similar ideas and sounds subconciously.

Anyone else think M-Run's sound is exactly like this track? It hit me yesterday like a massive slap in the face. All of the melodies, the sounds, the rhythmic patterns. Mind = blown.

Blue Planet Corp - Generator

The ‘Overdream - Wonderwise’ album 💕

Total Eclipse - Pulsar Glitch (Denstrow remix)

Hearing this at full volume while driving makes you feel like you’re in a tank, heading into battle. Of all the tracks that sample Prometheus, this one holds a special place for me. Menog - Make the Change

Regarding bad mastering, look for M4A/AAC format. It's not brickwalled as other digital releases.

The solution for the terrible mastering is to look for the M4A/AAC format. It sounds much, much better than other digital formats - I dare say, 'normal.' It is still loud, but the dynamics have been preserved and it doesn't grate on the ears.

Global sect did their first Goa vinyl release with VA - reincarnation https://globalsect.bandcamp.com/album/va-reincarnation

I enjoy this track too 😃 (I mean, I unabashedly love most SUN Project in general, but this is a fun remix)

Ahah fair, thanks for your help! I guess I'll have to do that (and self-release some of the weirder stuff regardless of how "good" it is ahah) Alright, I'll do that then! I definitely don't want to alter my artistic vision just to fit in somewhere or to get to do more commercial stuff! (nor do I want anyone to do that) I mean, if I were to make music to get rich and famous, I would have picked Pop or Hip Hop or literally anything else than a genre that basically does not exist outside of Soundcloud in the current year of 2026! :р Well, I hope people won't be mad at me switching from a Nitzho style to another :р Thank you! :Ꭰ

Hi, my 2cents, for what they're worth: I know it'll sound stupid, but you should ideally send what you consider complete. Mastering at this stage is absolutely irrelevant compared to a proper mixdown, which is key. Labels not only want to hear good music (...obviously), but they also want to hear a minimum of quality / technical ability. Your EP should preferably fit the style that "you" currently enjoy making. If you're specifically targeting and engineering your musical output just to have a shot at being released on a specific label, or at playing at a big main-stage somewhere, well, I mean that can work, but good luck with that - the competition and level required is absurdly high (and that's before factoring in your networking etiquette (who you know in the business) and all the social media bullshit, both of which are even higher than raw talent/work these days) Be absolutely prepared to be asked (more often than not) to strictly adhere to a specific "artistic" vision if you submit stuff to a label. Some are more relaxed, some are not, some are open to discussion, and some will absolutely demand that you alter your vision and ideas because whatever their flavor reason of the month is. Who's right or who's wrong isn't the subject here, it'll be up to you to decide. Personally, at first, I was so eager (desperate?) to have anything released anywhere, that I would spend days reworking stuff I was happy with, only to have that lead absolutely nowhere. Looking back, I was an idiot. Lesson learned, for years now it's been "what you hear is what you get". Not happy? No problem. Zero problem in itself, but be aware that labels and people in general (contrary to what they'll tell you) are very very very VERY fond of "boxes"/categories where it's easy to put people in. If your project name is known for a particular style and you suddenly switch everything up, you'll have to manage the fallout and get the added pleasure of getting torn to shreds in private messages on your socials. If you plan to release and distribute solo via Bandcamp and streaming platforms, you absolutely don't care. Good luck with your projects, and enjoy the ride

As you might have guessed I have never been involved with any labels, but I do know that most labels will have a certain genre, subgenre or range of subgenres in mind for their releases, which may be one reason why a lot of well known artists will release some music on a different label to other music. I am thinking for example of RA releasing Unearthly on Altar Records which is mainly a psychill label, when their other music before that was all Goa trance. So I guess it would be a more a question of, if you manage to attract the interest of a label, would your future music fit within the boundaries of what they prefer to release? Sorry if I am stating the obvious!

No. I kinda tuned that part out. Not out of disrespect. Just don't really engage with some of that. 😃

Okay I see, thanks for your response! ^-^ Do you have anything to say about my genre-related questions?
