Mount Kailash is a mountain located in Tibet and is a sacred pilgrimage site in four religions: Bön, Buddhism, Hinduism and Jainism.
Its shape is like the pyramids in Egypt with four nearly symmetrical sides with a glistening snow-covered top. Hindus believe Mt. Kailash to be the abode of Lord Shiva, the destroyer of ignorance and illusion, resides at the summit of this legendary mountain, where he sits in a state of perpetual meditation along with his wife Parvati.
Bonpos believe the sacred mountain to be the place where the founder of the Bön religion landed when he descended from the sky. The Bon a religion that predates Buddhism in Tibet, maintain that the entire mystical region and the nine-story Swastika Mountain are the seat of all spiritual power. Followers of Bon, Tibet's pre-Buddhist, shamanistic religion call the mountain Tise and believe it to be the seat of the Sky Goddess Sipaimen.
Vedas mentioned Mount Kailash as cosmic axis and world pillar, center of the world, and world tree. It is also considered to be the mysterious mount mera Meru - the world center between Heaven and Earth, a point of connection between sky and earth where the four cardinal directions meet.

SIMIANTICS is a psy-trance project created by an infinite number of monkeys with an infinite number of synthesizers.

Ozorian Prophet interview: https://ozorianprophet.eu/music/monkeys-and-syntetizers/

With influences ranging from early Hallucinogen, X-Dream, and Cosmosis to modern artists such as Ajja, Rastaliens, Talpa, and Electrypnose, the Simiantics sound is always energetic and psychedelic, and is part of the wonderful family at Peak Records. Collaborations with artists such as Ajja, Dirty Saffi, Tristan, Nigel, and Asimilon have also been unleashed.
One of the primary aims of the Simiantics project has always been to create an interesting live act. After much experimentation, a setup consisting of Nintendo Wii remotes as well as other MIDI controllers has been devised, which allows live remixing and tweaking in order to respond to the crowd in a visible and entertaining manner.

Simiantics has performed at a number of festivals and venues around the world, including Goa, Germany, Thailand, England, Bali, Australia, Singapore, Nepal, Sri Lanka, and Russia, to an overwhelmingly positive response.

The 4th episode of Purple Hexagon Records‘ series is focusing on one of the most creative producer of the label, CAVEMAN.

Born and bred in the heart of Italy, GIANLUCA VOCALE aka CAVEMAN is a young and promising artist with a distinct touch in psytrance music production. His deep and diverse musical knowledge is rooted in the study of musical instruments such as the guitar and drums. After cruising different music styles, he started exploring psytrance music first as a dj and then as a producer, collaborating with Quarion Tribe in the organization of psytrance parties. The opportunity to play and test his music in dancefloors all over Italy led to a personalisation of his sound, that can be described as a spontaneous blend of sound spirals and colours with atmospheric basslines. Caveman’s music is fresh, uplifting and unpretentious, reflecting his simple approach to life and the skills he developed in the art of bread making. In fact, all his sounds are carefully crafted and combined to create a substantial music flow that take on significance and evolves to fulfil your ears. As you will often hear him say, “Music is my bread and bread is my music”.
After his first album “ Event Horizon “, Caveman is now ready to present his new ep “ Run” with Purple Hexagon Records, included in this exclusive live set for radiOzora .
Expect to run, far and away from any limitation or constraint.

Digital News 4, the long awaited new mix from Russian psy-master FUNGUS FUNK is yet again packed with the grooviest night psychedelic sounds as well as exciting unreleased tracks and collaborations from the genre.

Fungus Funk aka Sergey Prilepa, the legendary Russian psytrance artist began writing psychedelic tunes right before the Millenium and started to release the first Fungus Funk tracks in 2001 on record labels like Acidance Records, Discovalley or Crystal Matrix and many others. His famous debut album called “F People” came out on Acidance in 2006 overflowing with groovy baselines, aggressive synths, warm melodies and those signature psychedelic atmospheres you can still experience on every Fungus Funk release ever since, be it an own composition or a remix made for a fellow musician. The second full-length Fungus Funk album found his home at half Russian, half Australian label Blitz Music, where Sergey released his third and last album to date as well in 2010 called “Electric Grooves”.
The original Fungus Funk sound always keeps a masterful balance of complex textures and arrangements that lead the listener through a deep and interesting journey of that hazy period of time between the psychedelic night and morning. These days Fungus Funk is busy working on the material of his forthcoming new studio album and interesting side-projects such as releasing under the name Astroff or collaborating with fellow psytrance musicians like Para Halu, Obliviant, Drip Drop, Virtual Light and more.

DJ BuzZ is a Psychedelic Trance DJ and organizer from Kobe, Japan. Since 2006 Eiichi is establishing his “God Of Death” events in the Kansai area especially around Osaka and Kobe. He has collaborated with other promoters, such as Yabai and Matsuri and introduced fresh and established artists from around the world to the vivid Japanese crowd.
BuzZ played all over Japan and China and his passionate energy shined through his banging sets that caught the attention of Sangoma Records. In 2015 he released his first compilation “Tanuki Tandava” on Sangoma and had his first Europe tour with sets in Germany and at the Psy-Fi Festival in the Netherlands.

Eiichi’s DJ sets are best around midnight — the time when the energy needs to maintain its intensity but still stay vigilant with the flow of the crowd in the underground scene of Osaka. Picking the right track for the right moment is his métier.

We at Sangoma Records guarantee that this artist from the land of the rising sun will blow you away. Watch out for his mainfloor set together with label-manager Daksinamurti at Ozora Festival 2016.

This week SIMIA will be the most ‘Hypnotique’ on radiOzora’s Trance channel.

Simia is the psychedelic trance project founded in 2014 by Matia Salai from Serbia .
Born and raised in Belgrade , Matia was surrounded by many musical cultures and influences which eventually spawned his interest for experimenting with sound playing the piano from a very young age .
After being introduced to the psychedelic trance scene few years back he further continued these experiments with sound through production and also as a psytrance DJ .
Matia also involved himself in visuals , décor and organizing workshops as he got to travel more and participate in various parties and festivals .
This in turn gave him time and space to keep evolving his skills and creativity in the art of production which eventually led to his first few releases on Psymoon records .
In 2015 Matia was asked to join the Hypnotique Recordings family by Trailoka after they realized they had similar interests in the direction of music .
Apart from also being very active a member of the Snailydelic part organizers in Serbia , He continues to Dj and develop his production for future releases with Hypnotique Recordings .

The next showcase will be performed by JAHBO, one of the oldest members of Parvati Records. This mix features a one hour journey through the Red Eye Jah universe. A side of Rolike Jahbo together with Stephanus Smit ( Red Eye Jedi).
They released already 6 tracks under this project during the last years, and are working hard on more and expect more coming out this and next year.
Red Eye Jah will perform for their first liveset this year at Midnight Sun Festival.
Enjoy and stay tuned…. :)

Jahbo was born as Roelike Bunzendahl in 1981 in a hippie society in the north of Denmark.
As a basic member of Parvati Records he started to appear on this label acts like a pioneer in the psytrance scene since it’s beginning as well as the confidential person for Giuseppe, and relentless helped building up this special base for the extraordinariness in the music scene.

Working in a music shop in a long period of his real life he is always refining his production skills meticulously to define his extraordinary and most definitely recognizable style at his recent state of the art and his tracks basically have this special charme of a tripped out mushroom atmosphere.

Morphing soundscapes, wobbling basslines and an immense potion of the right humor spangled with a lot of twisted effects and surrealistic leads are a defined earmark of Jahbo tracks and so he was playing all around the globe on almost all important festivals with his exceptional live gigs and absorbing sets.

He appeared on many releases, mainly on his homelabel in Denmark as well as on leading psytrance labels with the ideology of twisted trippy psytrance, with his solo project Jahbo as well as with the different projects he is part of.

His dj sets are dedicated to the trippers on the dancefloor, and he is able to move it night or daytime with his crispy and of course typical Aarhus styled attitude to send the crowd on his wings of psytrance.

On our 20th journey on the path of the deepest forests our guide will be dj OAK TALES.

OAK TALES is the project of Mihail Solakov, born 1989 in Skopje/Macedonia.
“My first touch with psychedelic trance music is in 2005/2006 on a gigs in and around Skopje. After traveling Europe festivals for few years and experienced different styles of psychedelic trance music I found myself deeply touched by the sounds of the twisted forest psychedelic music. Since this music was kinda lacking on the parties last years in my country I decided to prepare some mixes, do some parties and promote this style of the music to the new generation of free spirits around here.

My DJ sets are fulfilled with music produced by artists that are my all time favourite like; Atriohm, Encephalopaticys, Kanka, Derango, Archaic, Makadam, Farebi Jalebi, Onkel Dunkel ( GOW ), Krussedull, Time For Slime, Drone Bixie, Orestis, Madianbrains, Mark Day, Ulvae, NoizeBug, Taakelur, Confo, Bubbleguns, Thos Grol, Third Eye of Monkey, Maniac Bubbles, Dhar Mhar, Shivattva, Elowinz, Gnohm.”

Set played at Own Spirit festival 2016, Spain. 

Own Spirit 2016

Aphrodite is the Greek goddess of love, beauty, pleasure, and procreation who arose out of sea foam on the coast of Cyprus. Therefore she is also known under the name Cypris, her Roman equivalent is the goddess Venus and she is also identified with the Ancient Egyptian goddess Hathor. Myrtle, doves, sparrows, horses, and swans were said to be sacred to her. 
Her father Zeus fears that because of Aphrodite's beauty other gods will become rivals to possess her. Therefore he marries her off to the god of smithing Hephaestus, who is overjoyed to be married to the goddess of beauty. He manifactures her stunning jewelry that make her even more irresistible to others.
As one of the Twelve Olympians of the Greek pantheon and thus a major deity, worship of Aphrodite, (or Aphrodíti), as a living goddess is one of the more prominent devotionals in Hellenismos (Hellenic Polytheistic Reconstructionism)the revival of ancient Greek religious practices in the present day.
This set is a recording from a nice outdoor party by Sound Elements Productions near Nikosia in April 2016 where i played a set into sunrise.
