This Saturday 16th March, very special guest Unconscious Mind(s) will be joining me live in the studio for Quexotic Adventures, kicking off from 7pm GMT on NSB Radio.
Darren has been pushing psybreaks forwards in his uniquely melodic yet hard-hitting style ever since his first tune, FD Psybreaks, which was signed to Ayra after they heard it on this very show, way back in 2009 🙂 A slew of originals and remixes have followed since, including the album Broken Dreams of Euphoria which he released for free on Psychoactive Records.
Don’t miss this live guest mix featuring exclusive new tracks…
Bouncy progressive trance and psytrance to put a spring in your step and sunshine in your soul… Gradually evolving from 135 to 145 bpm, taking you from morning to evening in one CD-length mix 🙂
Sorry it’s been so long since my last promo mix. I actually did this one almost exactly a year ago, but for various reasons (not very good ones) it’s been languishing on my hard disk since then. But as the sun re-emerges from its winter hibernation, it’s time to let it loose. I find it’s particularly good for driving on a sunny day, but I’m sure you’ll find other uses for it… enjoy!
I’m delighted to be making a return visit to Psysphere – the last one was a stellar night with great music, mind-blowing decor and a super-friendly crowd.
This time the main room plays host to a variety of psytrance, including the London debut of awesome Goa-Psy producer Lunar Seed, along with LIVE sets from Prognosis, Continuum, and Sprocket, and DJ support from Razzek, Zarvox, Fordy and Thall Om.
Meanwhile Room 2 provides the alternative psychedelic grooves, from psybreaks to progressive to glitch-hop, with Quextal, Spindrift, Andrew Rushton, Miff, Amethyst and Azuhax23.
Psybreaks fans in the North of England, get thee to the Mersey on 12th October for night of “booming breaks and drum’n’bass” with a killer lineup featuring Hedflux, Kwah and Quextal! A good variety of other genres also representing, including dnb, jungle, dubstep and glitch. It’s gonna be epic!
The promo is getting some awesome positive feedback, and I’ve once again been blessed with great feedback and support from both fellow producers and fans – thanks to you all!
Two gigs in two nights coming up, and in both cases I’m privileged to be among an all-star cast of psybreaks and psytrance.
First up, on Friday 7th September, Psychoactive Records brings a stellar lineup to the Talking Heads in Southampton for Higher Dimensions II. Featuring the mighty Neurodriver, Unconscious Mind(s), Re:Creation in both his live A/V psytrance and DJ psybreaks (Peak) guises, and Snook and Quextal complete the lineup. No fillers here – and it’s only a fiver.
Then the next evening up at the Union club in Vauxhall, London, a very special night with two rooms of psytrance, psybreaks, progressive and more. It’s a kinda wedding and birthday celebration but this lineup is too good to keep to ourselves to it’s open to the public. Just £10 for 10 hours of entertainment! Check this lineup: Neuroplasm (Live), Organic Hybrid (Live), Savage Circuit (Live), Beatnik, Liquid Ross, Mr Strangelove, Zarvox, Fordy, Niquid, Mr Mush, Andrew Rushton, Katty Grooves, Misskey Piskey, Spindrift, Azuhax23, Filthy Peasant, Amethyst and of course myself Quextal.
This is going to be epic… On Friday 22nd June 2012, Psychoactive Records presents two rooms of the very finest psybreaks and psytrance. Packed full of names you know well from my mixes and shows: Re:Creation (2 hour live A/V set), Bad Tango, Unconscious Mind(s), Peak, Snook, Phase13 and yours truly. Don’t miss it!
EDIT: The correct date is 22nd June, not July. Sorry for any confusion!
I’m rather looking forward to this one. If you’re in the vicinity of the north of England, get yourself down to the West Indian Centre in Leeds for Sunrise this Saturday 26th November. I’ll be playing in the psybreaks/progressive/glitch room alongside the awesome Unconscious Mind(s), Magiclantern, Mouldysoul and more; meanwhile room 1 features the mighty Lunar Seed, Compressor and many more laying down the big room psytrance ting.
Those lovely chaps over at Psychoactive Records have been busy bees lately. As well as furnishing us with some mighty fine psytrance and psybreaks EPs recently, label head honchos Re:Creation and Unconscious Mind(s) have both now released full-length LPs on the label for free on Soundcloud!
The Unconscious Mind(s) album Broken Dreams Of Euphoria [PSY007] is a 10-track tour-de-force of psychedelic breaks and tech-funk. It’s full of great grooves, chunky rolling basslines, powerful acid lines, and squelches galore!
Hot off the presses today, 11/11/11, at precisely 11:11:11, the long-awaited debut album from Re:Creation was released to an unsuspecting world. Entitled Infinite Expansion, it offers up a smorgasbord of psychedelic sensory delights, from the convention-defying 5/4-signature 100bpm psystep of the opening track, to rolling and melodic soundscapes of full-on psytrance, to blistering high-octane psybreaks and more, this is a truly epic journey of the imagination!
Get yourselves down to the Soul Cellar in Southampton this Friday for what promises to be an epic night of underground sounds, including breaks, psytrance, techno and more (and that’s just my set!) from a huge number of very talented producers and DJs, plus amazing decor and the south’s friendliest, most up-for-it crowd!
