Suntrip updates!


Recommended Posts

New infomail! :)


1.) A new release: E-Mantra's alter Ego : Night Hex!
2.) Future releases
3.) Looking for some enthousiast volunteers
4.) Suntrip vs Bandcamp
5.) Other merchandising (Clothes & different cds)
6.) Social media
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1.) A new release!
E-Mantra​ is finally back with a new (mini-album) release under his Night Hex alter ego! And that means it is a little different… slower, deeper, more progressive, more atmospheric, still melodic but a little darker!
A mini-album? Yes! As Suntrip is about old school, let’s go back to the golden 90s, when flat jewel case cd-singles were still a part of the scene! ;)
Artist: Night Hex
Title: Vizuini Nocturne
Tracklist:
1. Night Hex - Night Visitors
2. Night Hex - Sleep Paralysis
3. Night Hex - Distorted Visions
4. E-Mantra - Ninive Under the Stars (Night Hex Remix)
5. Night Hex - Katharsis
For samples and all info, as usual:
And of course, for sale now on:
And soon also on all other shops (like psyshop, beatspace & your favourite digital cd shop)
2.) Future releases
We are very active now with all our future plans, and it are many! :) Our next release will be an uptempo release of Mindsphere. We try to release this around newyear! This cd will be part of a Trilogy. The other 2 cds will be one limited ambient release, and 1 other uptempo album! :) Other albums that are more or less finished now are Ra (yes, finally), an album with old unreleased tracks from Toi Doi for the more dirty goa trance lovers, Crossing mind and Imba and Morphic Resonance who are working hard to have things ready soon as well! :) Besides this a compilation and some more mini albums are also on the way :)
3.) Looking for enthousiast volunteers
Because Suntrip had it's breakthrough in the mean time, the amount of work doubled, while we are still only 2 guys trying to run this. As we are just "normal" guys with a full time job and a family, this is very time consuming and sometimes on the edge of being possible. We want to be able to concentrate more on music again... And that is the reason we are looking for volunteers who are very handy with modern social media and who has some time to spend online... As we dont earn any money on this label (hard to believe, but still true) the payment is done by eternal grattitude and music... If you think you can help us... Please send a message! :)
4.) Suntrip vs Bandcamp
As you all know we have a bandcamp account. This is a good way to promote artists and music, but because of some recent changes of bandcamp, we have to pay 15-20% royalties on every sold item. Pretty much for a "direct" way of selling. And too much for a label that is struggling to survive. So if you can, and you don't mind, buy your music digital or on cd in our Suntrip shop, and not on bandcamp. Of course we keep bandcamp open, but it would help us anyway!
5.) other merchandising (clothes, other cds,...)
Cds: we try to connect the goa-trance scene to the maximum. For this we have collaborations with most other goa labels! Like this their cds are also available in our shop. More easy for you, the customers, to buy your goa-trance! :) We have a lot of cds in stock again of other labels now, and more are coming soon! :) Also, we try to have some classic cds in store as well if we find some items... And for now, there are also classics available from artists like D5, Etnica, Asia 2001 etc :)
Clothes: we will make a new batches of new merchandising tools before Christmas! :) We will make hoodies, some reprints of t shirts, probably even lap top bags and female tops to make everyone happy! Let the sun shine! :)
6.) Social media
We keep working hard to be as connected as possible! :) For this we are still active on most social media! If you are new into this, please follow us on:
For Suntrip only updates:
For all kind of modern goa and old school music discussions:
For listening to our music:
For following our messages on twitter:
Also, we try to have some fixed updates from now on... Every thursday you will see all parties with Suntrippers on our fb! :)
Thanks for all, happy shopping and expect some updates in 2 months more or less! :)

^Awesome news indeed! Last update was he - was giving up on it, due to lack of motivation?! Quite a turnaround :)

He managed to finalise some more music it seems, now it is 95% finished :) More info soon about this :)

Hi !

what about filteria, merrow , and ajna please ?

Filteria is working on a KOB album, which will happen on Suntrip sooner or later... Whenever he is ready :)

 

Merr0w is also writing, and we liked some of his tracks for much, so maybe a mini-album like Night Hex we just released?

 

Ajna, no info for a while, sorry.

Hello

Suntrip is not only about shiny new CDs every other month, we're also striving to expand our goa vision to places where no psytrance has gone before :) And that means more partnerships, more merchandising, more promos listening, more travelling, and unfortunately, more paperwork... all this dragged us behing in terms of schedules, and I can tell there will be no more release in 2015.

But wait, that's for the greater good:

- In case you haven't seen, we have opened our Instagram account (search suntriprecords) that we first tested at the Connection festival, and a bunch of nice people have volunteered to help us with Youtube, Facebook, keeping up with everyone's parties, etc... and we might reveal some big news soon too.

- New Merchandising is coming very soon: new tshirts, hoodies, superb laptop sticker lids, just in time for christmas gifts :)

- Another important info, we'll be proud to be Boom festival Ambassadors for the third time for the 2016 edition. Guess what? Crossing Mind (FR) and Aneobis (BE) will be playing there in front of 33333 people !!!

- Still craving for some awesome Goa-Trance before christmas ? OK go and buy IFO @ DAT Records (out Dec 4th), this is simply the reissue of the best Goatrance album of all times...and Mind Rewind 3 is coming in the next weeks too.

Now the forthcoming releases:

There were quite un bunch of twists and turns about the RA album. 2015 or not ? A few months ago I wrote we were fairly certain it would happen in 2015. Alas, that won't be the case. Long story short, it's progressing, but very slowly and you'll have to wait a little more to see the RA uptempo trilogy complete :) Richpa/Neogoa is working on the artwork.

In the meantime, we've got a tracklist from Mindsphere and Ali is pushing his latest touches to his new album. The artwork is being done by the Mimesis Crew from Spain, and we're pretty sure this is going to be our next release, in the very first weeks of 2016. Hint: this album may have a couple of sequels :)

Very soon too, we'll be releasing a ToïDoï album in collaboration with DAT records. Once again, long story short, Federico from DAT was so busy that his ToïDoï album project was running late. He agreed that we take over. We had several discussions with Gilles ToïDoï on the phone in the past weeks, we proposed him a contract and it's all looking good :) Expect "Psychedelic Home"-like madness !!! Oh I feel very inspired to do the artwork of this one.

Crossing Mind is about ready and we HAVE to release his new 2xCD opus before Boom of course :)

Morphic Resonance nearing album completion too !

Imba as well !

Merr0w as well !!

not mentioning Cosmic Dimension just sent us 2,5 hours music...

and I'm hearing about K.O.B. regularly

and we're also collecting great compilation material

and there will be a couple of surprises too...

...beyond the question whether it's doable or not, is it even sane to release so much great music in just one year ??? We'll see :)

You mentioned to the ToiDoi psychedelic home album, but unfortunately I think the majority have never even heard it.. how bout double CD?

 

Eh? Eh? :P

The best tracks of it will be featured in superb quality on this cd, and some other, total unreleased - never heard before tracks :)

 

Right now we are finalising Mindsphere by the way, and oh my God... So many mediocre melodic releases out there... But he!? He knows how to make heart touching, hair rising melodies, whaaa! :)

Thats great. And also are the tracks similar to Fly High? I still get so emotional over that track that I have to experience it live next summer somewhere he's going to play at.

Some tracks are similar, some totally different... he has many different "styles", what makes him an amazing artist! :) Anyway, samples coming soon :)

Thanks Federico, you probably have the last hand painted in good quality... on Connection this year at least 5 died :P Mine was brown afterwards... So we are sure now, if we ever make hand painted t shirts again they will be on black t shirts, even if that means less fluoro... :)

As for Toi Doi, you know how it will be ;) as for Boom... Any DAT-artists coming? :)

Except of that the latest Neogoa cd is also available in our shop!


We also restocked a lot of stuff... most releases of Zion604 (including their very first ones!) the Goa Madness releases, Goa Trance Revolution,... Good stuff for most people!

Dear Suntrippers!


So, 2016 started, and we did this "in style", with a new Mindsphere album! But thats not all, this newsletter has a lot of extra information! :)


-----------------------------------------------------------------------


1. The Mindsphere release

2. Future releases

3. Shop: many other label releases and new merchandising

4. First hints of suntrippy summer festivals

5. Social media

6. Boom Festival


-----------------------------------------------------------------------


1. Mindsphere, one of today’s big maestros of melodic old school influenced goa-trance is back with the first installment of a trilogy!


Ali Akgun, from Turkey, is already known from his earlier albums on Suntrip and Metapsychic Records. But now, he started with his Magnus Opus. A cd-trilogy with the name "Mental Triplex"! This release is part one called "Presence". It unfolds a spiritual journey into the power of old school goa melodies! Soon, part 2, "Seclusion" will be a peaceful ambient voyage, while "Beyond" will focus on other colorful dimensions and spaces!


"Presence" took Ali almost 2 years to write... And you can hear that. The harmonies and melodic structures are of a unique quality! The album builds with some old school oriental influenced uplifting tracks… Followed by more powerful storming goa-monsters to rip the dancefloor apart. The last part of the album makes you land in a blisfull morning! Deep, entrancing subtle morning music to float like never before!


Like usual, you know what to expect from Suntrip. High quality modern goa-trance for a melody-loving crowd!


Tracklist:


1. Back to the Roots

2. Inevitable Delusion

3. Melodramadelic

4. Beyond The Illusion

5. Mental Processor

6. Zygote

7. Alinside

8. Tears Of Goddess

9. Photosynthesis


For samples and buying...:



Bandcamp link:



(if you dont mind, please order via the Suntrip shop, it gives us better revenues)


Soon it will be available on all other media! Psyshop, beatspace, goastore, amazon,... :)



2. The future looks bright! You could already see that the Mindsphere release is a trilogy... So two more albums are comming! Buttt, the next releases will be darker, more psychedelic as our usual sunny releases! Coming up next (SUNCD40) will be Toi Doi, with a collection of unreleased 90s tracks! Followed not much later by Morphic Resonance... Later on you will get Crossing Mind,Imba, Ra (yes yes, again far away :P), the two other Mindsphere albums, K.O.B. and a compilation!


3. We try to keep the shop as interesting as possible for all goa fans! We have a lot of new releases in stock, with some rare material (for instance the exclusive Masa, Japan-only release). The next weeks there will be many more, so keep an eye on the shop :) The more goa, the better! :)


4. The summer looks bright! Not only because of the sunshine, but also because of suntrippy music that will be available on all big festivals! Keep your agenda free for any of the following big festivals with at least some (and sometimes even a lot of) Suntrippers!


S.U.N. Festival (Hungary)

Transylvaliens Festival (Romania)

Boom Festival (Portugal)

Lost Theory Festival (Spain)

Psy Fi (Holland)

Connection festival (Spain)


5. We are now present on all big social media networks! The most active on facebook and twitter, but we have our youtube and our instagram account as well now :) We don't update sooo often anymore, because it makes not really a difference we noticed, but IF we update, it is always important! :) So, if you want to be up to date, follow us on any of these channels! :)


6. Boom festival is sold out via us, spread the word. If there are more tickets, they will only appear on the boom website.


Thanks for supporting us! Buying music is vital to continue these releases!

Ok, we just had confirmation! :)

SUNCD40 will be Toi Doi (end of march)
SUNCD41 will be Morphic Resonance (end of april we hope!)

Both cds will be twisted, acidic and more dark/raw... :) something else from the common Suntrip sound, to prove, once again, we want to release a wide spectrum of psychedelic old schoolish music :D
