“The Very First Real Magic” is the aptly named first release of Escape Artist’s new imprint 'PSY SECTION'; coming in the form of a various artists affair, brought together by the power of friendship. After years of being sent amazing music by new and old friends from near and afar, the time has come to share this joy with the rest of the world. 

As a label, they will seek to shine a light on psychedelic music of all designs and the first release will focus on the dance variety. It is the label’s hope that the love and friendship that brought this project together will shine through in the music.

Hex Editor’s transcendental breakbeat dreamscape ‘Tuesday’ opens the B side with expert precision. Soaring pads and swimming arpeggios provide the perfect spot for the listener to land after their flight from the previous side. PSY SECTION's debut record is one well worth checking out as a whole and as always, if you like, make sure you support the artist and label by giving it a buy.

PREMIERE: Hex Editor - Tuesday [PSY SECTION]

The seventh instalment of Virtual Utopia is a 68-minute trip through the known (and unknown) cosmos; piloted by London-based 'Mademoisel'. A high speed pursuit which turn supermassive stars into needles of momentary light that disappear behind you almost instantly. A mix of driving space-trance and globular rollers, which will communicate more to the 'others' than any signal from the electromagnetic spectrum ever could.

Accelerating through chromatic corridors of a blurred existence, eventually you reach an open expanse of neuron-like structures. Electrical currents whirr and glow overhead as you travel at steady speed through the network of fibres; 'Where am I?' 'Am I inside the human brain?' 'Is this the structure of the universe?'

Travelling onward into the depths of space as paint-flicked stars decorate the distance; the interconnectedness of everything 'out there' accentuates the correlations and similarities between our universe and consciousness. Exploring the cosmos does really emphasise the concept of a macro/micro-cosm.

You program the machine to a much higher speed (2.2x10^7), the engines give a deep, metallic growl and the throttle propels you backward. This vessel is optimised for entering warp speed and maintaining stability.  Through the darkness and scattered lights, planets of various colours and conditions rip past you and remind you of your tremendous velocity. This is a voyage through the expanse of our existence; to explore the rocks, gases, lights and vibrations that made us what we are.

Various refuelling stations are set between the tunnels of assisted acceleration, which connect all districts of the nebula you're in now. They are of a clinical, utopian aesthetic of perfect white and frosted glass, warped reflections of panel lighting reflect from the chrome of the other docked vehicles. Once the robotic assistant has completed it's process, you undock and proceed the expedition.

You max out every dial on the control panel of the vessel; halos of light flicker around you as steadily  increasing g-force keeps you firmly in your seat. As you pass the speed of light, pulsations of energy shiver through you as  your past visions and memories bleed into your peripheral. 'Is this the sensation of going back in time?'
At this velocity, the boundaries between dimensions dissolve and you hear the abstract conversation of incomprehensible 'beings'. 'Who are they?'

Maintaining this speed you reach an end-point; of what only can be described as the 'Mirror of Existence', where a spirit of yourself is looking back at you. A conscious duplicate 'clone' stares inquisitively and reaches out their hand.
'Is this me?' 'Or is this another me?' At some point this universal version must cease and another parallel begin, perhaps you have found it...

Shared Frequency 017: Jake Tidd

"The mix is definitely rather high energy and groovy. It’s everything I felt in  summer, when I turn into a different and better version of myself the  second the sun comes out and the temperature rises to 25°+. So if you  wanna feel like that bitch again (at least for an hour), this mix is for you.  <3"

We are stoked to catch up with @user-541559817, part of Berlin’s @femmebassmafia and until very recently the ‘tik-tok hoe’ for Missy Mag. They’ve  given us a mix to remember to help us all let go and bid adieu to Summer with.

Hue & Saturation Mix #072: Mama Lior

Maumedlats, @39-records ghost talent manager, is acting in the shadow to bring the French label into the light of the rising progy-trancy world !
@maumedlats_39 set reflect the specific method applied to drive the spaceship 39, steering it into a deep exploration of old trance, cosmic house and new progressive universes. 
The result is an intense escalation of raw energy and cohesive ears stimulations.


Groovy Resonance 12 : Maumedlats

Astral VIP (and more) are here to remedy the monotony! by rehashing what you’ve already heard? but alas, no one is perfect. Outliers and outcasts have always created pockets in the mould of the city, smoke and wubs away from the lights and hammer. This collection of 14 tracks comes from such a dent, representative of different scenes all dedicated to this approach, coming from dank corners, away from big business.

Our offering is a tribute to the mix CDs of dance before (Global Underground et al), with AVIP’s very own Dugong on the 1s and 2s blending contributions from analogous crew into one continuous mix. Future-past made present, for potentially discontinued CD drives. For the sake of tangibility, in times that surge ahead regardless.

All profits from this compilation are being donated to 3EZWA Legal Fund, to help financially assist those facing draconian legal fees as part of the current protest movement in solidarity with Palestine & Lebanon.

With You, Sacha Ketterlin distills emotion into pure form.  A single arpeggiated synth line carries the pulse — steady, hypnotic, and fragile — while long sustained textures unfold around a solitary voice that whispers “I say I love you”.  In its restraint, You reveals the space between presence and absence, affection and silence.

As the ninth release on Intumi, the EP continues Ketterlin’s exploration of emotional minimalism and sonic intimacy. Every element breathes with intention, each sound is a fragment of something unspoken.  You is not a declaration, but a transmission — a quiet message sent into the unknown, searching for its listener.

The release includes two distinctive reinterpretations. Aear0n expands the original into an ethereal landscape, dissolving rhythm into atmosphere and memory. Kenji Tanaka transforms the piece into a long, fluid techno journey, rich in subtle detail and tension, revealing another dimension of the same emotion.

You is both a name and a question — a reflection of what remains when love is not returned, and words fade into the echo of sound.
