Artist: Antix Title: Manta Label: Iboga Records Cat number: IbogaDigital51 Format: Digital download - MP3/Wav Release date: February 2010 Release information: We are very proud to present the final instalment of the Antix pre album package. Antix have taken a more progressive approach with Manta and its no surprise that it has been creating havoc over the past few months in the southern hemisphere, as it descends and elevates with glitched vocals and stirring atmospheres. A solid progressive big room monster, with transposing bass and a very tight groove. On remix duties we have Frank Beckers who needs no introduction. He splices and dices chunks from the original to create a very slender club cut swooping it over to the techno platform. Also included in this package is an extra special edit of "The Hoard" by fellow kiwi Tim Richards. Tim has been on form of late with a string of killer remixes & singles for labels like Curfew and just recently a cheeky mix of Grindhouse that's been wooing the masses with support from all the big boys, such as Nic Fanciulli. The much anticipated Antix LP due very soon. Its worth the wait we promise. Tracklist: 01. Antix - Manta 02. Antix - Manta (Beckers Remix) 03. Antix - The Hoard (Tim Richards Remix) Feedback so far: Paul Oakenfold - "What an opener the Original would make. Great release" Anthony Pappa - "Both tracks are really good. My favourite is "Beckers Remix" and l will play this out. Thanks. Pappa." Christian Smith - "The beckers will work very well in my more proggy sets. thanks" Jamie Stevens (Infusion) - "F*** yeh. that is all." Christopher Lawrence - "Great progressive track on the original!" Filthy Rich (Spektre) - "Beckers on fine form...awesome tight production as always!" Nick Warren - "another fine Antix release, will play both mixes" Hernan Cattaneo - "original is great" Simon (Simon and Shaker) - "High quality production... Fiord / Antix never dissapoint! " Dave Seaman - "Fucking Ace! Both mixes!!" Flash Brothers (CR2, Armada) - "Original mix is tasty Progressive house track & Beckers Remix is fresh tech progressive mix! Both good!" Tom Novy - "Beckers Remix is hot! " Amo and Navas - "Beckers remix is our fave! thanks" Inkfish (DK, Jee Productions) - "Like the trippieness and the slow steadily build throughout the track. Will play." Jerome Ism-Ae - "org. mix is great!"

For deep house, tech house, techno and the likes I recommend The Timewriter, Terry Lee Brown Jr., Jimpster, Daniel Kyo, Gorge, Sascha Funke, Kruse And Nuernberg, Marko Fuerstenberg as well as labels like Plastic City and Urbantorque. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O2gHvJWspxo http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S07Um8pJLW8

Some of the older stuff from labels like Tilth, Toes In The Sand, Vapour Records etc. might fit your taste. Kasey Taylor, Chris Micali, Dousk, Cassino & Laben, Jay Lumen, Snake Sedrick, Eelke Kleijn, Johan Vermeulen and more produced some very melodic and heavily reverbed, deep progressive house back some years ago. Some examples: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pBbO4346DGg http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gy6orv8AYh4

Artist: Ticon Title: Models On Cocaine (Weekend Heroes Remix) Label: Iboga Digital Cat number: IbogaDigital50 Format: Digital download - MP3/Wav Buy here: https://www.beatport.com/en-US/html/content/release/detail/214256/Models%20On%20Cocaine%20%28Weekend%20Heroes%20Remix%29 Release information: When ”Models On Cocaine” was released on Ticon’s 4th album “2 am” it was another example of their trademark sound; banging dancefloor-music, but still with a cheeky edge, proving that they don’t take themselves too seriously. The track turned out to be one of the biggest hits from the album, and now the hot Israeli duo Weekend Heroes are here to give the unique tune a fresh edge. Weekend Heroes consists of Felix (also known as Timelock) and Eli (also known as DJ Zombi), and in the last couple of months they have put a solid mark on the progressive scene. With a dancefloor-minded combination of progressive house, techno and tech house their releases have already appeared on top labels like Plastik Park, Echoes, JOOF and Iboga Records, and 2010 is proving to be their big breakthrough year.

Indeed it's about taste, under which circumstances you've experienced the albums, how you define psychedelia and much more - it's all personal. That's why I often seem to find these "which this-or-that is most psychedelic" discussions to be rather pointless. Nowadays I generally like to find psychedelia in the subtleties and the atmosphere, but at the end of the day it's all about the music being good or bad; if some purists doesn't find it psychedelic, it doesn't really matter to me. The weirdest, trippiest and most wacky musical experience I've ever had though, was with Odd Harmonic's "Coincidentalism"-album from 2000 (oldschool or not?), which got played to me one saturday (or sunday) morning after a good night of partying. An intense, funny, weird, random, deep, wacky and simply fucked up musical experience mixing lo-fi breakbeat, idm, trance and some strange kind of 19th century Western-music - we even tried pitching the album by +8% and -8%, and we couldn't hear the difference. Not to say the cover is one of the truly most mind-boggling I've ever seen

By the way - just found out that it has been released on Beatport.com: https://www.beatport.com/en-US/html/content/release/detail/212104/Premonition The Avalon-remix actually sounds like a remix for both "Avalon" and "Peekaboo" (one of my favorite full on tunes ever). Much better than the other tune!

Can't load the Avalon-remix, but I'm hoping for a good remix as the original is probably one of my favorite Protoculture-tunes (and that says a lot since I'm a huge fan). The other sample doesn't sound good to be honest - great production, but I don't like the singing and those israeli-like leads.

Is it the "Set" compilations you're looking for?

"Anchorman" is definitely one of my all-time favorite comedies - both Will Ferrell and Steve Carell are outrageously funny in that one, and the movie is just one long series of classic one-liners and quotes. "Superbad", "Step Brothers", "Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story" and "Pineapple Express" weren't that bad either, but yeah - Judd Apatow has also made some truly horrible comedies over the years, such as (for instance) "You Don't Mess with the Zohan". Didn't think "Funny People" was THAT bad though. Went on for too long, but had some good laughs and both Seth Rogen and Adam Sandler showed some slightly different roles than they're used to.

I really didn't like the looped vocal-snippet in the intro to be honest. After that it was actually quite nice - good, laidback breakbeat-like grooves and some proper goa-esque synthlines and atmosphere. As some others have said, you should maybe ease up on the glitchy fx though.

A preview of the main breakdown in a new progressive/full on morning track I've been working on. Must say it's the best track I've made in my own opinion, but would really like to hear some feedback - both on the technical aspects as well as the musical side.

Hi Banel , could you introduce yourself in few words, for those who might not yet know you? Hi there, Im Michael Banel, I´ve been into Djing since 1988, so more than 20 years of experience. In the mid nineties i started producing and opened a label (Iboga Records, with Emok). Later i started writing music under the name “Behind Blue Eyes”. Why the name Behind Blue Eyes? As i was searching for a project name i came across “Behind Blue Eyes” and found meaning and depth in using that name. Since the color of my eyes is blue and the music i write is expressed via my personality. This is your third album as BBE, “Kisses from the Clouds”,..how did this come about? And what can your fans expect? People can expect a very personal & Unique sound, a very varied album. I have on the album joined forces with mainly Simon Heath (Krusseldorf), but also a number of other artists like Beat Bizarre, Sun Control Species & Joyce Mercedes. During the recent times i have slowed down my BPM pace and in my DJ sets i have been playing a more cross over techno / progressive trance sound, this has clearly also affected my productions. Together with Simon i have been very determined to develop something new in this direction and i think we've reached a very good result. You made the first two albums with Rene, the old Beat bizarre geezer,.. how come Rene isn’t part of this album? Rene stopped his involvement in Behind Blue Eyes in summer of 2007 because he was very tired of the whole thing, he was worn out. And then he got a chance to become part of his older brother´s business and accepted. But he will probably be back writing again at some point, he has been with me in the studio on some occasions and he talks about making tracks more and more these days. Tell us about you collaboration with Krusseldorf? I learned about him during the work with our sub-label “Sofa Beats”. I got a demo with the most awesome chill-out music and was hooked on it instantly. We released an album with him called “Smokers Lounge” and he kept sending me demos. One track inspired me a lot and based on those files i created “The world is our Oyster”, and we decided to make a continuing collaboration. We have found that combining our styles has lead to a very unique sound that truly reflects us both. We can never go out playing live sets together though, since he has a very bad tinnitus ear damage. So I'll still be on the road alone. What gear did you use to make this album? and if you have one, what is your favorite Synth? We have made the album in three different studios + one track was made in Beat Bizarre´s studio and one track was partly made in Australia. So it has been a difficult process but also one i learned a lot from. A piece of gear i used quite much was the Virus TI polar. I have used that in most tracks for anything from basses to FX. What is your function at Iboga and In which directions do you see the label heading? Emok and I started the label some 12-13 years ago and we have tried various constellations along the way. But the last many years we have split the various tasks among him and I. We make all important decisions together, like for instance what we release. Some of my main areas in the office is taking care of daily routines, release preparations, publishing, licensing and economics / book keeping. The label has become an integrated part of our everyday life, it is who we are, we have put so much of ourselves into it. It is hard to predict exactly where we are heading but i am pretty sure we will remain in the position we have build and go further as well. We have a solid label name that equals quality music from some of the best producers in the field. For me theres no doubt that this kind of music will be available for a larger crowd in the future. For me its about spreading something that people can enjoy, something that people can gather for and they can share experiences, learn from each other, have nice times together. Its mainly a positive story, its about getting inspired. The music is not only for a small underground crowd, its meant for anybody with an open mind to discover and enjoy. Everyone seems to be doing something Techno/Minimal these days. How about yourself, are you thinking of starting a new project to explore new territories? I have decided to keep working as Behind Blue Eyes for now. But i have always been interested in many styles / combinations and can easily see myself exploring genres. Krusseldorf and I have strived to make mixture of techno, trance, chill-out and progressive on our “kisses from the clouds” album and i like collaborating in general. I have many new projects / ideas with other artists in the planning but i cant see that ill be using other names for it, well, maybe if its really far from what i do now. Its a very hard work promoting a new name. For me good music is good music, i usually don't mind too much if its this or that genre.
