It was a good year, a really good year. I'm still totally blown away by Denshi-Danshi. That album is something extra. Sukha is the track of 2018, amazing. Usually I end up with some downtempo track, but not this year. Uptempo: 01. Denshi-Danshi - Brain Chemistry (Suntrip Records) 02. Triquetra - Ecstatic Planet (Suntrip Records) 03. Ray Castle & Collaborators - Mystique Of The Metaverse (Suntrip Records) 04. Etnica - The Juggeling Alchemists Under The Black Light (Dat Records) 05. Cosmosis - Retrofuturism (Digital Reprints) 06. Gangguru - Be Your Own Guru (Dat Records)  Downtempo: 01. Youth & Gaudi ‎– Astronaut Alchemists (Liquid Sound Design) 02. Dr Trippy - Bhang! (Disco Gecko) 03. Kuba - Animalia (Liquid Sound Design) 04. Globular - Entangled Everything (Self-released) 05. Kaya Project - Up from the Dust (Tribal Shift)

Hallucinogen and Koxbox then, but who's the third one? Hmmm... I'll go with Total Eclipse today. Could've been MWNN or... No, now I'll just write the list. Hallucinogen 1. LSD 2. Horrorgram 3. Orphic Thrench Koxbox 1. Stratosfierce 2. Life Is .... 3. Electronic Brainwash Total Eclipse 1. Chaotic Circus 2. Le Lotus Bleu 3. The Furnace

Great stuff here.

Yeah, Malmö used to be good. Cosmic One, a classic record shop, Basement and that one close to Trianglen. Also Hit House in Landskrona, but that was maybe a bit earlier, like 96/97. Loud and Street Dance in Copenhagen. Great memories. Today you can try Roadhouze in Helsingborg. They have sometimes some old psy cds.

This is my standing recommendation for everything not psydub. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YUzFH7_p-j4 It's a bit old maybe. Gaudi released an album last year. Perhaps a bit too much for your taste, but still an amazing album. https://gaudimusic.bandcamp.com/album/gaudi-magnetic

Happy birthday!!!

It's Alan Watts. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PadKa3lP4qU

You need Denshi Danshi - Brain Chemistry. That album is amazing.

This is so good, two superstars delivering an amazing album.

Wonderful, of course I grabbed a copy.

Fantastic album. Sukha is one hell of a track, it has been a long time since I've herd something like that.

If I lived in Belgium I probably would go to more parties. I'm in the north of Sweden, well actually in the middle, but everyone thinks it's the north. So not so many parties around here, Stockholm or Finland is where I have to go. I was at a party in Malmö, maybe 04 or 05, Jens Waldebäck was one of the dj's. That was the last one of my days of going to parties often. Now not so much, this year I was at a Connection pre-party in Spain. Etnica played. Oh, I also saw Ticon playing live in Malmö maybe five or six years ago. But that wasn't very good... Festivals is my thing. ZNA next year is going to be epic.

Here's a nice interview that Ofer made with AP, there's a couple more on his youtube, while we wait for the album.

Fantastic, top release.

Some good stuff from the 90's. Oh, this one also need to be in here.

Yes, soon we will be there, dancing. I really need to decide how I'm getting to Apsara. Right now it looks like I'll be in Sibiu on monday. There are direct flights from Copenhagen to Sibiu and since I'm in the south of Sweden prior to the festival I think it will be the best option for me. But anyway, I'm really looking forward to this festival.

Yes, Talking Souls. Maybe he will play Karma 209, I really want to hear that one. Great line-up so far.

Greg Hunter always delivers, Archeometric and Llamageddon are two fantastic sets. I also really like this Isaak Hypnotizer mix.

First track that come to mind is a Shaolin Wooden Men.

Uptempo 1. You'll Never Know - You'll Never Know EP Downtempo 1. Dubsahara - Geonosis 2. Shpongle - Codex VI 3. Globular - The Context 4. The Irresistible Force - Kira Kira 5. Eat Static ‎– Last Ship To Paradise 6. Saafi Brothers ‎– The Quality Of Being One 7. Dub Trees - Celtic Vedic In Dub 8. Cosmic Trigger ‎– The Hallucinatory Mountain

Oh... I almost forgot Reflecta - Creatures. 4:49, but the build up is amazing. Listen to the whole track.

Koxbox - Electronic Brainwash. From the begining 0:13 and through the whole track. Prana -Kiba (Tristan & Process rmx) 0:58... pure heaven.

Crappy phone cameras... The first Backroom Beats has a Twisted catalogue number, that's why it's there. I also have the rest separated, well the ones I have.

That's the first Backroom Beats compilation, TWSCD12.
