    Xdream

    in General Psytrance

    Posted

    I'm just wondering if anyone has seen Jan Mueller of X-Dream play at a party recently.

    I'm curious as to what kind of music he's playing these days, particularly in his dj sets.

    Recently has anyone heard him play an old school x-dream set or is he mostly playing electro with vocals these days?

    Is he mostly playing club venues or is his music what ppl would want to hear at an outdoor party? at night, in the morning, or during the day? Discuss.

    Greetings and Namaste,

     

    The time has come once again for the 10th anniversary of the legenday and much anticipated northern California underground outdoor music festival lovingly known as GEMINI. This amazing gathering is dedicated to unifying our bay area, USA, and international global music family. Artists from all over the world and many nations have committed to creating an intentional community located in our own private town called Belden, 3.5hrs NE of San Francisco (full directions from all areas below) . That's right, we are taking over a whole resort, complete with restraunt, bathrooms, showers and dance floor porta-potties.

     

    This is a FREE gathering, (i.e. No Entrance or parking/camping Fee) which means it is what we all make it. To support this gathering please LEAVE NO TRACE and prepare to clean up after yourself and to urge your neighbors/friends to do the same… Please CARPOOL to save room for camping and for the environment. =)

     

    We are calling out to any and all participants who would like to help create a sacred, mystical setting for us to experience true freedom and bliss. If you have decorations, want to volunteer time, anything that you think would make this gathering better or safer… Please contact: Richard (wichdokta@hotmail.com)

     

    Please welcome all the new family members that are traveling from across the world to present their music and artistic creations for us enjoy. The new energy is going to be very welcome on the dance floor. This is going to be something a very unique and special gathering.

     

    We proudly present 2 stages of different music for your dancing and listening pleasure, a trance stage and a fully stocked chill area. PLEASE NOTE: Renegade sound systems will not be tolerated, you will be shut down and kindly asked to leave the gathering.

So get ready to have a great time and collectively transform this town into a "PSYCHEDELIC CITY".

    Yab Yum Interview...

    in General Psytrance

    Posted

    Hello,

     

    I'm going to be putting together an interview for Yab Yum (Peak Records) aka Ajja and Gaspard for a website here in the US as they will be coming here next month to play...I will of course also post it on here. :)

     

    I was wondering if maybe you guys could help me out a bit with some questions or ideas for things I could ask them about....thanks! :rolleyes:

    HWhat is NeuroTrance?!

    in General Psytrance

    Posted

    Its funny to see this same conversation show up on the N. American psy mailing list, so I thought i'd post some of the descriptions here...

     

    Neuro is the east coast slang for Trauma trance.. it's the

    same thing, just called different on the other side of the country... :)

    The thing is, everyone's getting caught up in the speed war, not

    really my cup of tea, but if people are making 170 + shit, I could

    probably get away with 1 or 2 over 150... Hell, I've got a couple with some us

    friends here that are 161 & 166... They don't get played too often, but

    if ever the need happens where it will fit, I'll play it... the thing is

    you never know what people will respond to unless you feel them out.

    Oh and the reason people refer to it as Neuro trance was taken from

    Suria's Dark Side of the Sun cd. The second disk was supposed to be this

    cutting edge neurotrance, as it was promoted.... listening to it again recently,

    it really didn't have anything in common with what is now being

    interpreted under that name. I think also a russian comp called it that too...

    ~~~~~

    I find it funny that everyone keeps thinking up names for this

    stuff..... I always called it the hard shit, or aggressive nightime music... of

    course there's varying degrees of hard... but for the most part it's pretty

    much very very different then what Chemical Crew is releasing or has

    released... I find a lot of what you guys refer to as neuro or trauma trance or

    whatever it'll be called next week to have a little more chaoticness than your

    typical ask and answer big melody riff stuff... Maybe the focus is more

    toward frequencies than than melody, but I'd say that if you really

    want to look into the differential of these musics, you need to go to an event

    where you can actually hear whats going on and feel why they are different...

    ~~~~~

    I have never heard of "Neuro" trance. "Trauma", yes. I'm sure they're kinda the same thing. Pretty much most of the San Francisco producers create this style of music. It seems that Alien Mental, Xyla and others seem to hover around 150bpm, if not faster. I've heard Xyla play a song that she grinned and told me was, "172!" Hardcore, psycore, same thing basically. When you get into speed territories like that, me no likey. In my old age, I've slowed down to like MAXIMUM 147bpm, and I like slow all the way to ambient. No hip hop tho. ;) Mubali and Ghreg on Earth (imo) seem to steer clear of this trend (but maybe not, I haven't heard them in a while), and focus on dark, hard stuff. Mubali is amazing for nighttime hard music, and Ghreg is likened to Industrial music (the good ol' stuff, not the new bastardization of Industrial that is basically cybertrance).

    Try This for Trauma

    and these for Neuro

    http://www.psyshop.com/shop/CDs/ava/ava1cd039.html

    http://www.psyshop.com/shop/CDs/dej/dej2cd005.html

    And yes it does seem to get faster and faster, some would even call it

    psycore

    ~~~~~

    triplag.com usually has pretty seriously slamming mixes streaming

    as far as neuro goes, the definition is really vague i think... dark

    was the name it had previously but then it got faster. a couple times.

    ~~~~~

    Chemical Crew has very little to do with the so-called dark "neuro" trance, it's testosterone-fueled Skazi bs.

    for some free sample downloads of (full tracks in 128 are free, i believe, you have to pay for higher quality though). link to a stream of v/a Vapour. Not the best in the genre, but a good representative of the sound, imo.

    HWhat is NeuroTrance?!

    lauryn isnt being nice <_<

    :wub::wub: ...what's that you say?

     

    oh my, i was being sarcastic. a little humor pls. maybe i meant seriously the thing with "pigeonholing" but thats like it...

    to elaborate a bit. i've seen quite a lot of internet disscusions about all these genres and all the ppl involved take it too seriously imo.

    no worries :rolleyes: i don't personally use the term as a way of describing this music myself....

    i don't think its so much a question of "pigeonholing" a genre, but more simply a means of describing the sound, which of course, everyone has their own interpretation of.

    OH MY good for you. YOUR FRIENDS COINING THE TERM. HISTORY BEING WRITTEN. GOTTA GRAB MY DIARY AND MAKE A BIG NOTE...

     

    i just hope for your sake that you checked with the patent office so nobody else would take advantage of your rightful property. of course it seems you didnt come up with it directly so you can only patent "my freinds coining the term" event. then you can print it on BIG stickers and also make some t-shirts with that... which would be really "cool" you know.

     

    if we would be rational the first would come the argument about taking a absurd possesion of language...

     

    ...plus there are also about 7 billion ppl on this planet and some of them related to psy-trance. do you really think that noone thought about this "term" long before some of your friends did?

     

    and ultimately before all of this comes argument about "pigeonholing"...

     

    etc etc...

    YIKES! semantics semantics..... :blink:

     

    Wasn't claiming any ownership to the term, or stating any opinion of my own on the subject...only saying thats where I first heard it from and trying to explain the best I could the music people sometimes refer to as Neuro.

     

    go :wank: elsewhere my friend.... :lol:
