So far so good, it seems I can finally keep it up coming by here more often, as other posts show I find that very positive. I will gladly keep it that way and my new project ideas will enable me to stay engaged - at least every few weeks at the latest! It seems that I just was trying to find my place - and the key for that was to stick with stuff that I like and can do. (Sounds easy, but isn't actually that easy - I had to realize this slowly ). I am going on a holiday now, a well-earned one ... we'll see how relaxing it is, with my daughter ... back in last week of August, see you around

Yes, everybody that has the "Bananos" to pay the asking prices can enqueue videos there (when nothing is playing, it's super cheap - which I took advantage of last week, thus proclaiming this new project). I got into the Banano thing because of my ex girlfriend who has found out about it. She was a bit into Bitcoin and these things and took me along on that one - said: Banano is good for learning what crypto is and how it works (it is, I tell you that!). Unlike other sh*t out there (crypto world is really wild and full of potential scams - beware!) this at least seems to have a stable enough community with kind people who support it ... even a bit similar to the spirit of these forums in the old days JungleTV was something I found later and I was a great fan of it to earn a few Bananos every now and then ... sometimes cool people stop by and just donate there or enqueue a bunch... So ... I'll hang around every last Tuesday of the month and post happily. We will all see where this is going

Sad to hear that. I wish you luck. Everybody's having their fair share of worries lately, hardly anyone spared... With all these problems in the world, it may seem it's getting worse ... crises everywhere - and if not in the world, then in people's private lives. Then again, I think these don't increase so much as we think, it's just the internet connecting everything more and more together and they become more and more visible. That line was already true ten years ago, but it still keeps increasing. I wonder where it will go - but I think it tops out pretty much around now or already has topped out as people tend to reduce their online activity, or is that just me feeling it from others...

Hi, welcome back, here is your "thread exhumed" award Today is something in the air ... abasio comes back, RTP gets his act together and tries something new ... I don't think it ended in 2012. It was pretty fun for me still up to 2020 - where I am not yet sure if I have not died of Covid... Honestly. Most significant thing I know from 2020 was coughing blood while having Covid. Scary! I had it pretty bad. You can find the stuff I wrote on here about it. But my old life truly ended last year as my daughter was born - three months + 10 days early. Everything upside down since then. I still have to get to that "unbridled joy" people talk about - but I can feel it's there and it will eventually come to me also, we are moving in the right direction now cheers!
-
There, I posted it. Not gonna step back now. Curious if I can keep it up, how much it will cost ... but whatever. S-RANGE album is already playing live on Jungle TV right now cheers

Hello community, with so many failed projects in the past, it's time to concentrate on stuff that I can do and this is one more of them: Every LAST Tuesday of the month, in the evening (GMT) starting with today, Right F*cking Now (track reference: Prex - R.F.N.) , I will be enqueuing Psytrance on JungleTV! The "Tunesday" title is a take on the project they had, which was called Tunesday and which was about enqueuing music videos, they cancelled it months ago (and everybody was sad about it). I just realized, if nobody gonna step up, it will stay dead. This goes for many things. And I will step up doing things I can. I will be enqueuing just psytrance and psybient tracks, all that I can find on YT that I like. Maybe even a bit cross genre. If you like my playlist that I did earlier, you gonna like it. I am going to keep this up as long as my Bananos last! When I go broke, it'll be over and it will have been fun URL: https://jungletv.live/ Will be there every LAST TUESDAY OF THE MONTH around 21:00 GMT and enqueue some stuff, especially if the queue is empty - but don't take me too straight for it, can be earlier, can be later, but I will enqueue something for sure and I very much will like to have some S-RANGE among it aswell, you know me Let's see. Maybe we can even hang out there in chat? One more thing: JUNGLE TV is a democratic platform in the sense that everybody who has Bananos and spends them there can "bomb" the content by posting unskippable annoying things, flaming in chat ... all stuff that is moderated here can happen there, be wary of that! Even Bruce can come back there (who remembers?). I am going to do it nonetheless, I don't care. Videos eventually play, they just move down in the queue. Let's just see if we are interesting enough that people hijack or bomb us, I am curious? At this moment, every exposure is good exposure. We will be wiser some months down the line. My name there is "RTP RECORDS" but also be wary: somebody may also impost as me. In the crypto world, much is possible for those who have sufficient funds. If you want to engage with me in a genuine way, do it here (Oh and yes you can earn Bananos there. The enqueuing costs me Bananos and you as spectator can earn a share after each enqueued video. Innovative concept, in my opinion. But the crypto is entirely optional - you can also watch without engaging, just feel free to do whatever you like.) cheers

... so of all the projects I did so far, this can't go wrong I made a Youtube playlist with my favourite traxx on Psynews Official Account, called RTPs Favourite Traxx. It will be enriched on the go - at the moment it's 33, it will get more after time just as I feel like it. Here it is: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLkAqGLhQtsJ3YiuEgq5SdtqOJSWUmyldJ Feel free to give feedback! I can offer the same to other members. Condition: it must be videos on YouTube, publicly available. Official ones preferred. Anyone interested?

I have added that server now aswell Should add that I am not that much online on Discord, so we'll see. But I am pleased that this exists. Cheers!

You are so right. I love to listen to it when the trees start to bloom here, the smell in the air, sunshine and a chilled jog in the park are what this is for me Very good album by S-RANGE - and thanks to technology it's readily available to listen for everyone, free and official: cheers
-
I just thought I'd share this with you. There's tons of tutorials, courses and other useful things out there, but rarely you come across something like this, which I percieve to have Universal Value for producers, fans and mere people who are interested alike. Have you ever come across something like it? The only thing I know that comes close is the "PLAYdifferently" by Richie Hawtin who did a performance and an explanation video for a mixer or something like that... But is there more? A masterclass by a Psytrance Producer for example? Are there any? I'd be curious to hear your feedback if you like it or not...

Insane thinking that Ra's album is already 25 years old. Great job to do it justice with a proper re-release

Hi there a bit of a pity that you are the only one posting in this thread ... you seem to be doing the same that I did on TranceAddict: a thread to note down good trax to "collect" (I did it not for Rap though)... I do not have psytrance for you, but I can recommend you the album Red Seal - Black Ops, it's phenomenal ... they fusioned rap/dub with psybient. Specifically this: or Oh and you might like H.GichT ... because I think you understand German ... but it doesn't matter much if not I also recommend to look there by the way - also for the H.GichT:

... sorry ... I was wrong. In many points. But I am now checking back in, wiser and with a different mindset: I can write this now because I do NOT have to go to work tomorrow. I took a Hiatus for two months. Much needed, given what recently happened. Unfortunately my dad did at the end - very recently - not make it ... he's no longer with us. But at least he held on pretty long - with a clear mind. Meaning he fully realized that he became grandpa and such. My last words to him were that he'd get a medal if he made it out of the hospital again - but if not, I forgive him too. I do. My daugher is okay, but it was no smooth road. Many obstacles in my private life, some nervous physicans mentioning that the development is a bit late -- I do not care, as long as we have to see the hospital only every few weeks that's fine. They are not too nervous, but they kept us ever cautious ... maybe it's an usual practice. I have no experience with this before, I can only guess and my gut feeling is "moderately positive". Work was devastatingly stressful for me, company taken over, new things to do on top of the usual ... and I had to take time off in the end, which is where I am now. All the stuff was getting to my health and I am not fully recovered, but it's looking better. Unfortunately this means I have to rethink my life right now and my spending habits - but I am living in a reduced compound now, space-wise, and we have to sort out some stuff anyways. I will be able to do this bit by bit for the next weeks... I will not be too euproric about anything I can do on this forum in the future, I have learned that. But I will be able to support it again, as it is now or as it might go on Will post again (soon this time ) Cheers

Hello Tashira ... very nice to see somebody from the Old Ones. There aren't many, but yes, some are still here. Posts like this are what make me smile. Really good that you found back here. Nemo will forever be remembered in my thoughts because he's responsible for a comment about one of my (nowadays) most significant artists: Anthony Rother. He said, he got to talk to him and the way Anthony creates music is one of a kind. (I later got to know what he meant ) Cheers

It happened again - but it was easily fixable: Server restarted, all is well. cheers

No Crowd Strike, we suffered same fate like ETNOSCSOPE ("raw remains of a shattered drive")...
-
You may have noticed that Psynews recently was down for an extended period of time We had a shattered hard drive and needed some time to recover the data. Huge thanks to our admin Mars that the data was saved. I hope everybody is fine and well. The forums are up again. cheers RTP

Dear everybody, the poll is open for more than a month now and I don't think we'll get many more votes - letting it stay like it is is the winner I think we will be going with that for now.
-
ohhh this is great news! I'm so happy to be back and get these news first hand. Astral Projection belongs to Goa Trance like Psynews does
-
soooo .... I see that not many are hyped by this - I am not sad. I like the forum here with classic functionality and we don't need to hop with the hype -- just be informed that this Banano thing exists and I use my alias "RTP RECORDS" when enqueuing so if you ever drop by on Jungle TV it's likely that that's me. Especially when a lot of S-RANGE is in the queue. Other than that, there are no Psynews projects planned over there and this topic will stay without new posts from me. cheers

Hello people and all lifeforms on here, so we have these "reactions" available to posts since a few years ... the feature seems to be used quite a lot and it seems to be a perk, that the reactions are anonymous: you never know who reacted in which way. This anonymity function is inherent and can not be switched off. (I speculate the reason being that you can not delete a reaction even if you delete an account, so that's why they are anonymous and will always be kept that way.) Some do not like that concept. I have looked into that function and can tell you: it can not be removed entirely. The "Like" will always be available. But all other reactions can be removed. I'd like to make a poll - what to do with it? I identified 3 directions: Shall we keep the reactions as they are now - or screw them and only keep the "like" - or enhance them with something more (that needs icons which need to be custom made or obtained royalty-free). What is your tendency? Thanks for your votes! I will let this stay open a bit and wait for your REACTIONS

Hi yeah, we were a bit understaffed and I had my reasons, feel free to check out the Status thread if you're interested. Back now and cleaned it up quite vigorously (at least what seemed reasonable to me, which was most). It should be better from now on that we have a little people more on the team Thanks at everybody for not letting the drama escalate too much, you handled it reasonably, all of you No, we will not make it a rule that a review needs to include links The links always help the people that are interested - and it is nice to play the embedded video and read the text here, I give you that point. But overall, I still put good writing above all and that's well done by the Doctor here, so: no critics. Cheers!

Hello again, little did I know ... life is super (super!) crazy and turbulent for me these days ... I just wrote that first post, read the first replies, thought a little about what to say - then: boom .... I have been through so much it would fill an entire thread! But I put it short: Two family members in hospital ... still in hospital (it's been months). One of them is my daughter, who came over 3 months early. Second one is my dad. It looked bleak, really bleak and it also affected my psychological health. I recovered, but it was not easy and still is far from it. It's all so easy and shortly said, but I don't wanna spill out all my personal details in a post, I did enough of this in the past and while it would do me good, I do not have the energetic resources to process all the replies ... don't get me wrong, you are all great, but this is something I want to share only little. The situation is definitely a lot better now though and the outlook is positive again So if anybody wondered about admin absence, there you have the reason. Returning to it now though, I am happy that this forum exists and that I can write that here. No, I will not retire Psynews (if Mars keeps the server alive). I will embrace the requests from people who offered mod help and we will continue on, past 2024 and beyond I have a way better outlook now, a new private workplace under construction and I will now finally be able to be here more. And I also have begun to post Videos again on Jungle TV, which is a sign that I am well

Hello people and all lifeforms on Psynews, I thought imma give you an update on what's going on and arbitrarily share my thoughts about my life and about what is up with me on this forum here: As you might have read somewhat down the line of time, my life recently got a twist - or let me say: a complete turnaround - for the better. Ten years I have basically been sleeping under a rock and all of a sudden it went boom, somewhat - and as I came back to my senses it felt to me like I suddenly was going pretty far on the overtaking side on life's highway, in a fast car and taking turns in the driver's seat with a Soul that makes me really, really happy to be alive. Honestly, I only now realize what I have been missing out and I may ensure you from the deepest of my heart that it has nothing at all to do with any substance ingestion ... that never was my thing anyway. It's just good music and a speed of life that makes me tingle! As good as these news are for me personally, I have to admit it did not have and will not have the best effect on my time here. I will happily stay admin and do stuff when it pops up and when I have time - but I honestly am not much around anymore. If it wasn't for other people who cleaned up here besides me, it would be a true mess! A BIG THANKS to everybody in mod and admin team at this point! The forum has been "kind" to us by decreasing member activity and especially not making my attention so necessary in the past weeks ... but will it stay like that...? This brings me to a question - or rather a decision ... the way I perceive it, we are on a three way crossing and we can pick where we go from here ... the possibilities: 1.: We don't change anything and let all stay the way it is. You will maybe experience delay in requests and reports, in PMs to me, making a few spam posts disappear slower than they should. In fact I will drop by every few weeks, unregularly, clean up some stuff and tidy up a little and together with mods and admins still here we will keep it running as it currently is. 2.: We develop and evolve, get some new members in the admin and moderator panel and rock the place with good content. I'd love that -- but bear in mind that forums are on the declining side of the Internet. They won't get old that soon, but in the medium to long run we would HAVE to evolve into a Metaverse and I'd happily do that with you all, just not as a key driver because my time is a dwindling resource. 3.: Maybe you don't wanna hear it, but the internet has changed, forums are out of date and the activity counter on here shows it. I'm not going to pull out a diagram, but new posts have been steadily declining over the past years and recently some more active members left the community. Makes me wanna think out loud: Psynews could be hibernated and archived, open to browse but not to further post ... a possibility? I am just posing thoughts on my own. Everybody is welcome to voice their opinions. I am NOT saying that we stop this. I am just speaking it out as an admin for the first time and as one option of many - and without having asked anybody else. Bear in mind that this openness is also a form of me saying thanks to everybody for putting up with reduced admin time on here. Let me know your thoughts! If there's a team behind it, I'll happily stay a member, with or without admin rights as you wish, and let you carry the flame on and on cheers RTP

There is Another
