On ne pouvait plus attendre les 27 & 28 septembre pour vous retrouver sur Utopia Festival alors, pour vous préparer pour ces deux nuits de folie on vous a concocté une série de podcasts avec des acteur.ice.s de la scène régionale et artistes figurant sur la prog !

On reconnaît notre second invité rien qu’à son déhanché : @bours1 est un artiste made in France à suivre de très très près. Grosse révélation de ces dernières années, il distille une techno dont lui seul semble avoir le secret, à la fois hard, groovy et sexy déclenchant instantanément les pas de danse.

Ce qui le distingue des autres DJs, c’est sa capacité à lire la foule et à adapter son set à la volée.

Aujourd’hui, avec plusieurs années d’expérience à son actif, Bours? est devenu une figure respectée de la communauté des musiques électroniques. Ses sets sont toujours très attendus et ses productions continuent de repousser les limites du genre.

Il est également le fondateur du label Thumps Out Traxx, où il met en avant les œuvres de nouveaux talents et d’amis.

TRAIN_TO_SAKTI_(MIXED)

English below

Mit „Sleepless“ präsentiert Synaptic Impact ein treibendes Psytrance-Erlebnis, das wie ein nächtlicher Flug durch das neuronale Netz eines schlaflosen Wesens wirkt. Eingeleitet von subtilen FX-Sweeps und mystischen Atmosphären, entfaltet sich der Track schnell zu einem hypnotischen Flow aus kicklastigen Grooves und sägenden Synth-Layern.

Die Bassline pulsiert konstant und schiebt den Track entschlossen voran, während modulierte Acid-Sequenzen und sphärische Pads eine kaleidoskopische Tiefe erzeugen. Immer wieder öffnen sich neue klangliche Portale – flüsternde Vocals, Echo-Chambers und spacige Filterfahrten schaffen einen psychedelischen Strudel, der zwischen Trance und bewusstseinsveränderndem Traumzustand oszilliert.

Im Zentrum steht ein schlafloser Alien, eingebettet in ein rhythmisches Biotop aus pulsierender Energie, kosmischem Rauschen und neuronalen Störungen. Das Arrangement bleibt dabei variantenreich und dramaturgisch durchdacht: Breaks führen in schwerelose Leerräume, bevor dich die Drops wieder in Bewegung reißen – kompromisslos und voller Energie.

With “Sleepless”, Synaptic Impact delivers a driving psytrance experience that feels like a nocturnal journey through the neural network of a sleepless being. Opening with subtle FX sweeps and mystical atmospheres, the track quickly unfolds into a hypnotic flow of punchy grooves and razor-sharp synth layers.

A steady, pulsating bassline propels the piece forward, while modulated acid sequences and ethereal pads create a kaleidoscopic depth. Sound portals open throughout—whispering  voices, echo chambers, and spacey filter sweeps build a psychedelic vortex that oscillates between trance and altered states of consciousness.

At the heart of the track lies a sleepless alien, embedded in a rhythmic ecosystem of pulsating energy, cosmic noise, and synaptic distortion. The arrangement remains dynamic and well-crafted: breaks lead into weightless voids before the drops pull you back into motion—relentless and full of impact.
