*********** THE CATHEXIS ************
Cathexis
This pseudo-Greek term was introduced by Freud's translator/editor James Strachey for the German Besetzung, which conveys the idea of something's being filled or occupied. As used in Freud's 1895 "Project for a Scientific Psychology," for example, cathexis refers to the degree to which a neuron is filled with a quantity of energy and hence in a state of altered readiness for discharge. Freud also makes a crucial (but not fully defensible) assumption that the accumulation of large quantities of cathexis in neurons is a direct source of painful sensations ("unpleasure"), and that "pleasure" consists neurologically in a low level of cathexis. Ucs. material with strong cathexis would break through into consciousness, causing unpleasure, but for an equally strong opposing anti-cathexis. By the time the "structural" theory of the mind is published in 1923, Freud assigns the ego the function of maintaining preconscious “anti-cathexes.” These are weakened in sleep, intoxication, and psychosis, allowing the Ucs. material to enter consciousness with little distortion. The ego is also said to direct attention to parts of the Pcs. by "hyper-cathecting" them with attention.

----====Guests Artists====----
CHROMATONE (Vaporvent Records) /// San Francisco, USA
Chromatone is Lawrence Hoffman, a San Francisco Bay Area native who has been producing electronic music for the past decade. Now as one of the top Psytrance artists from the U.S., Chromatone is tearing up dance floors, collaborating with many other artists, and pushing the sonic envelope. He is also a professional audio consultant, producer, and engineer, currently working in France doing mixing, mastering, and releasing on Mechanik Records. Chromatone is also training with the Legendary Doctor Spook to be a pro VJ next year.
Chromatone has performed at parties in the US along side: X-Dream, Neuromotor, MekkaNika, Sirius Isness, CPU, Son Kite, Silicon Sound, D-tek, Scorb and Earthling… At Burning Man 2003 Chromatone performed an unprecedented live set in 8-channel surround sound on the massive Sol System. An ever expanding pillar of support ensures that the global trance community will see much more of this innovative artist in the near future.
After having three trax released exclusively on King Records Japan, Lawrence compiled and mastered the CD “Vaporize” for http://www.VaporVent.com Records, in an effort to globally promote the best producers from the U.S. and Europe. Current Projects for 2004 include the, new Compilation for Mechanik records, an Album of collaborations with Chromatone, And More…
Through deeply spiritual and emotional connections to his music and an intrinsic understanding of audio manipulation, Chromatone has become one of the most powerful emerging voices in Psytrance today. His masterful employment of intricate sound-scapes, ever changing patterns, and multi-textured layers take listeners on journey after epic journey through the uncharted territories of the mind.
GHREG On EARTH (Mistress Of Evil Records,Phosphene) /// San Francisco, USA
As an aural architect, Ghreg constructs sonic structures of mysterious, melodious worlds evoking the dark alcove of the mind; haunting soundtracks to engage the shadowy and mystical side of both the body and the soul. His timeless sound realizes the magickal properties of music to guide people into cinematic passages of expanded personal experience, offering spaces otherwise concealed in the deep abyss of the subconscious.
In 1994 Ghreg got his first taste of the emerging sounds of Trance and within two years began composing his own material in his small bedroom studio. Over the next few years his distinctive sound, heavily influenced by his passion for Industrial Music from the 1980s, IDM from the early 90s and Dark Ambient, evolved and found its way into parties and festivals throughout the United States and the World. Festivals he has performed at include the Ypy Poty Festival on the Ubatamarium Beach in Brazil in February 2002, the Phoenix Festival in Portland Oregon in July 2002, and the AsOne Festival in Eugene Oregon in the summer of 2003.
Over the years Ghreg On Earth, also known as Phosphene (a studio side project for experimental trancescapes and ambient modes), has had numerous releases on labels such as USTA (Israel), TimeCode (South Africa), Soular Records (USA), & Spectral Concepts (USA). Upcoming releases are scheduled for InnerSound/Ipsyde (Italy), Spontaneous Aerobics (Germany) & Mistress Of Evil (USA). He has also held countless spots at parties with artists such as Xenomorph, MOS, Olli Wisdom, Hux Flux and Anti, with his unique sound finding its way into the sets of Kris Kylven, Aleph (Phyx), Xenomorph, Penta and Goa Gil, to name a few.
Ghreg currently calls San Francisco, CA, his home, where he has spent the last four years promoting the emerging twisted sounds coming from North America and abroad as A&R Manager for Spectral Concepts.
His intention is to convey a diverse range of powerful trance dancing experiences to the planet. With this intention in mind, he is quickly being recognized as one of the most sought after psychedlic electronic music producers.
FILTERIA (SunTrip Records) /// SWEDEN
Having been around music my whole life in all forms it was a natural step for me to start producing my own music. But it wasn’t until 1996 when I heard Distance To Goa 4 when things really started to get serious. I bought my first synthesizer and started experimenting.
After some years of buying equipment and playing around, I was all set to start this psychedelic project.
In late 2003 I had my first live-act which was a blast. It gave me lots inspiration and strength to continue. I made a deal with Suntrip Records and we released “Sky Input” in November 2004, which was a success and gave me the opportunity to play in many parties. The new album “Heliopolis” is just finished and will be released on Suntrip Records in January 2006.
The Filteria project is my attempt to resurrect the vibe and energy that over the years went missing from the psy-trance scene.
I choose to go back and see what made this music so special in the mid 1990's, expanding upon those ideas and taking a different path from the one the majority of the scene chose. The sound however is up to date.
Hope to see you all on the dancefloor somwhere around the globe…
