delusional

Surely not. We are considering everything, as long as it experiments with something, somehow. We are trying to stay away from clichés and stereotypes so, drek, radio static doesn't necessarily guarantee experimentation I'd like to take the opportunity to thank you all for the interest in this project... Keep those tracks coming! And remember, non-musicians are invited as well!

Hello, We at Psylosophy Records are looking for young creative minds to take part in our next ambitious project, conveniently called Experimentos. Experimentos is an album entirely made of experimental music. Experimental is all the music that somehow experiments inside any or no particular music style. We're looking for innovation, for people who can't see any talent in their own music and for those whose creations have always been overlooked by labels afraid of unsellable music. Further details on this album will be available only to artists interested in taking part. Artists who are not musicians can also manifest their interest in this project. The album has no release date set, will be sold at production-cost and no royalties will be paid. People interested in this must want to take part in an effort to promote music, knowledge and creativity. We are looking to create something that's not a product of a massive consumption society, to which psytrance is currently associated. We want something that somehow fights the trend. But, more than anything else, we want to open your eyes to the fact that you are talented, you just don't know it yet. Send your Experimentos to this e-mail address: collective @ psylosophy (dot) com (Please upload your music somewhere, and send us the link. Attachments will be ignored) Thank you so very much! - Psylosophy Records -------------------------------------- www.psylosophy.com www.theexperimentos.com

Hi there, Here goes a small preview of an interview we did with DJ Ananda, Red Cells label owner. They've recently released a compilation called Hunters that is seriously blasting off some dancefloors, so why not know more about them? You can read the rest of the interview at Psylosophy.com. It was in a time where the psytrance scene was full of boring music that DJ Ananda had a vision. He saw the chance to get in the market and do something for the music, a chance to get it back on its feet. He surrounded himself of top-notch music makers like Triskell, Phatmatix and Digital Talk and founded Red Cells Records, a french label with some seriously innovative ideas. They've released their debut album, a compilation called Hunters, some time ago and we've decided to go talk to the man behind the label and see what they have in store for us in the future. Check it out! Psylosophy: What is Red Cells, who's the man behind it and how did it come about? Ananda: My name’s is Simon and I am 31 years old. Born in 1974 in Cambodia and living in Paris (France). Red Cells Records is like a dream come true. It’s the psytrance label I’ve launched one and a half years ago alongside my mates Triskell, Phatmatix, Digital Talk and DJ Sayko Yan. You may find interesting news on us via www.redcellsrecords.com . Psylosophy: What leads someone to one day get up and think «Hey, I'm gonna start a label...»? Ananda: Well, as far as I am concerned, I’ve been working with two labels (Turbo trance and Mechanik Sound) from 1999 to 2004. My musical tastes have changed so I decided start the "Red Cells Adventure" in order to promote the music I like. Psylosophy: Your first release just came out: a compilation called Hunters - must I say it's one hell of an album -, featuring some really top-notch artists, mostly from France. How would you describe this release? Ananda: OBRIGADO! I am touched by your words which are pushing me more. This release, which is our first one and hopefully not the last, is a CD that describes a journey through psychedelic trance. I have compiled nine tracks from different artists in order to create a nice "voyage". It was hard because I did listen to a lot of very interesting and good artists before picking the ones I really enjoyed. Psylosophy: What are your plans for future releases: are you gonna keep trying to spread french music worldwide, or will you also be betting on international acts a bit more? Ananda: You are right, Red Cells Records is at the moment composed of French artists only. However, our compilations will always feature foreign atists too. We are a new born label so let’s wait and see what the furure will say... Psylosophy: The album closes with a really neat chillout track by Blue Planet Corporation. I was kind of hoping your interest for downtempo music could result in a dub/chillout album sometime. Is this something we can be expecting in the future from Red Cells? Ananda: I like down tempo music a lot. The idea of producing a chill album has grown in my head. It will hopefully be planned but I don’t know when yet. Psylosophy: Are you interested in discovering new acts and giving them a push? If so, what kind of music are you looking for and how can people send it to you? Ananda: Of course we are doing the best we can to promote music we enjoy most. Therefore discovering new acts outside of France is an aim for us. I do love a lot of psytrance stuff, no matter the styles, as long as it's good music for the body and brain. If your music represents a wonderful and powerful journey, please get in touch with me at ananda@redcellsrecords.com or send your material to: Red Cells Records 31 Rue Ramus 75020 Paris France Psylosophy: How do you feel about the french psytrance scene these days? Ananda: I'd say a lot of new structures (Promoters, labels...) have been created in France during the past three years. Some are really trying to push the music and its culture up and others are doin'g it just for fun. In all cases, France has great musicians and artists, a lot of potential, but we have a lot of difficulties to get authorisations to promote our music. Psylosophy: Fred (Neuromotor) told us, in our last interview, that Paris is the worst place he ever played at. He said, quote: "The crowd is too strange [...] I don't like the way the promoters treat them and the way the people come to the party and act". From your personal experience, would you agree? Ananda: This is his point of view, and I do not agree with him totally. Like everywhere in the world I guess, there are good and bad promoters as well as good and bad party people. Paris is far from being the best place to party but it's deffinitely not a bad one either. If you ask any foreign artists that has played in Paris, most of them will tell you they had a lot of fun. In my case, I’ve been performing in many big and small parties since 1998 and I was satisfied at 90% of my gigs. Maybe in Paris people don’t react as well as he wishes, in regards to his music. It’s true that in Paris most of the parties feature full-on DJs. Psylosophy: What's the best country to party, by the way? Ananda: Well I love Portugal and the friends I have there, the UK , India, Germany has great vibes but I really loved and enjoy performing in Russia and Brazil. Also, Switzerland has some awesome sceneries for outdoor parties and the vibes on the German side are great! Psylosophy: There currently seems to be a label flood, where albums keep coming out just so label DJs and artists can get some gigs. What makes Red Cells different than all these other labels? Ananda: That's an hard question. Hmm, we are trying to produce different stuff than other labels are producing nowadays. But we only promote the music we really enjoy. You should ask this question to the people that have purchased the CD and support us ---------------------------------- Entire interview @ Psylosophy.com

Here goes one more interview. You know the drill: you can get the entire thing @ www.psylosophy.com ----- Whew, watch out for this man. Coming from the always-rising south-african trance scene, Xatrik absolutely smashed our heads off with his debut solo album Project A. Since then, he's jammed up an amazing amount of tracks, been releasing on several international compilations and is now working on his second album. You better watch out for this man, he's coming at ya faster than you can say I have a speech impediment and, before you know it, you'll be jumping around like mad. Oh yeah, you won't even know what hit you - just get ready for his new tunes! Psylosophy: Ok so let's start like we always do: could you please introduce yourself? Xatrik: Hi there, my name is Greg Hamber, a.k.a. Xatrik. I am 27 years old and I come from Johannesburg, South Africa. Psylosophy: How would you describe your music, your style? Xatrik: I see my style as a Mix of Funk Groove and the Technotic... I like very psychedelic sounds and use a lot of effects and dark textures, while still keeping the music playful. Psylosophy: Some people say South-African producers use a techno base with psychedelic effects layered over it, which makes it sound so poweful. Is that true? Xatrik: Yes, to a large degree with the Cape Town producers. I think this is because we all grew up listening to Techno and some of us Hard House... But inevitably moved with what we wanted from the music, which is that dance energy that you get with psychedelic effects. Psylosophy: How is the Psychedelic scene over there? Xatrik: Hmmm, let me think... It's very good! We have Timecode and Nexus Media and lots of great parties. We also live in a beautiful country. Psylosophy: Any plans as to release a second solo album? Xatrik: I have realeased my first album called Project A on Digital Psionics last year (July) and am going to release my second album with the same label later this year. Psylosophy: Can we get some details on that? Xatrik: Yes. My second album is as yet untitled but I'm thinking of calling it Life Insurance for Over 50's. I am going to try and concentrate on making the music less weird and obscure and more energetic. Psylosophy: Oh, I see, so we're having a change of style with the new album... Xatrik: With my first album I just wrote the music that I liked and wasn't thinking at all about dance floors and what people want. But now, after playing some more parties I want to make something that is more accesible to the greater masses but still retain my originality. Most of the gigs I have had came from releasing the 1st album so I would like to keep my Xatrik style in there somehow but my approach to making toonz has changed and I am now more keen to experiment with new ideas and incorporate what I have learnt to make something... dare I say Next Level. Psylosophy: Can you give us an insight on your studio? Xatrik: I've got a Yamaha 01V Digital Mixer, Virus A, Yamaha RS7000 Beatbox, a friend's Nord 3, a Laptop with shitty soundcard and a set of Event 20/20 mid-range speakers Psylosophy: Best party you ever played at...? Xatrik: Shew wee! Hard one... I guess it would have to be a small gig I did in Brighton last year when I was living there. I knew all the people and they really got deep into the music. I had so much fun... half the time I was in the crowd jamming with them. Psylosophy: What about the worst one? Xatrik: Ah, never really had a worst one... I have pressed eject on the CD that was playin a few times and also knocked over some equipment, but I guess it's just amazingly awesome to jam trance to a group of amped people! Even if you make a mistake... Psylosophy: Haha, I agree! Psylosophy: You've produced a few tracks with Slug. Is he a really good friend or do you just find your sound to be extremely compatible? Xatrik: Yeah, we lived together for a few years so we're great friends. We are very compatible when it comes to writing music. We also have a similar sense of humour! Hopefully next year we can write a Xatrik and the Slug album. We are both super keen just busy with other projects at the moment Psylosophy: Good to know, all the best to that project! Psylosophy: Do you have any sideprojects? Xatrik: Yes, a few. One Progressive side project (e are calling ourselves o.N.s) and I have started making some jazzy style breakbeats, like Mr Weeza and Chemical bruv with a guy I live with. I've also started another project with the guys from Alien Safari, who are legendary party throwers in South Africa. Psylosophy: Wow, that's really something. Xatrik: Hehe, thanks bro. Psylosophy: I really like to see producers following different directions as well. Xatrik: I have deceided that this year I want to be as productive as possible. I don't know why, maybe it's because I sit around and smoke too much... Psylosophy: Hahaha, maybe it is my friend... ----- For more: www.psylosophy.com

Well, there are a lot of great samples around that I really love (Shulman's Small Grey Creatures, Talpa's People are Animals, Scorb's Psycore, etc...). However, one that really caught my attention recently is from The Unstables (Goblin vs Pixel). The track's called The Clone and comes in Time and Space pt. 3 and I think it was really well fit in there. "He's smart, he's a friend... You know, he's nice... And you wanna be nice, right? A nice, nice man. And you know what means the most to me? I was on the phone everyday. Everyday, doing what I do best: talking on the telephone! Me, I did that! Why? Because..." "Was it legal? Fuck legal! Am I a nice man? Fuck nice! They say terrible things about me in The Nation? Fuck The Nation! You want to be nice or you want to be effective?! You want to make the law, or subject to it? Choose!" By the way, the sample is from Angels in America.

Right, here goes: I can't really see how you can be a chill-out lover and not love this track, regardless of the fact that Asura's stuff is all pretty much the same, as you put it. Fact is, in my humble opinion, no one has really heard this track if he just listened to it and did not immediately fall in love with it... I don't know, that's just the way I feel and I'm sorry you can't find any beauty in this track (pretty much all of it, by the way). That's the best I can do...

Damn, I'd swear this is a topic for personal opinions and taste. Sorry about that, man. I shall never listen to it again.

Listen to it, you should. There.
