Boom Shankar´s Return to the Source Compilation

boom shankar

Thanx to all your support and anticipation here it finally is: my Boom Shankar set from the already legendary S.U.N. Festival 2013! 2 hours of Psychedelic Trance, leading from the night towards dawn and right into a sun-filled Sunday morning...and what a morning it was! :)

Unfortunately my recording device failed, so this is not the original live recording, but I re-recorded it in the BMSS Records studio based on my memories (which were a bit blurred to be honest due to a state called "Trance" :) ) I am quite happy with the outcome and I think it contains all the memorable tracks I played...but it's missing something essential: the presence and energy of all you guys on the floor - because it was you who made this festival so special! <3 Still, I hope I will touch your heart with it and in case you are a Solar United Native, that all your memories will come up again!

Enjoy this special mix, play it loud and spread the music and its vibes! Thank you for all your support my friends, it means a lot to me! xxx

S.U.N. Festival 2013 - Boom Shankar Dj Set [BMSS Records 2013] [Free Download]

It was about time for a fresh sonic output from my Mixer and here it is, my latest on-the-fly Dj Mix: Interconnected!

This journey is dedicated to all my fans and followers who have supported me for almost 20 years, thank you guys so much! In addition, it pays respect to the interconnectedness of 3 of my families: BMSS Records, Transition and S.U.N. - 3 crews I love working with, sharing and connecting our ideas, visions and projects, a trinity which means the world to me!

A massive thanx as well to David Vigh from the S.U.N. family for his amazing graphic I used as a background - it perfectly symbolizes my aim and what matters to me in this scene: to connect! Much love to all of you and thank you all for your continuous support, it means a lot to me! xxx

Boom Shankar - Interconnected [Resurrected Summer 2014 Mix]

Kicking off into deep space from the Pleiadians, pulsating through an oldschool Goa drenched morning nebula and transforming into something truly beautiful the moment the first rays of sunlight hit the dancefloor...

Soul Kontakt & Boom Shankar  - Simulated Reality (Cimi Remix) [BMSS Records 2015]

A spontaneous, improvised set inspired by the amazing Solar.United.Natives Festival 2015. A two and a half hour long sonic odyssey evoking both twilight & daytime stomping grounds. Illuminated by definitive acid lines, ancient oriental melodies, modern day Psytrance monsters, and exceptional unreleased tracks. This is an extended voyage from Psychedelic Goa to Trance. 

Special thanx to all the artists and labels involved, to my Solar.United.Natives and to Miro and Edit for the dope cover elements. I hope you will enjoy this mix as much as I did creating it!

The Key, an innovative vision plucked from the mind of Ovnimoon from Chile, mixes the psychedelic and progressive sounds of the prolific Ascent from Serbia with the powerful emotions that fuel Progressive Psytrance. 

With pure fine touches of magical ideas that expand through their music into our harmonious universe, Stuardo & Bojan have soared over both distance and borders bound by the profound alchemy of friendship and fellowship. Using brilliant technical precision, The Key steps forth and delivers tight, definitive Psyprog tracks that encapsulate and stay true to the euphoric delirium of that old school Goa sound.

The Key (Ovnimoon & Ascent) - The Voice Of The Universe

Containing nearly all the tracks played throughout my 2016 season in Asia, the outcome of my latest freestyle session is like rocket fuel mixed with high grade Acid. It took me a while to record this new mix, but here it is. It was inspired by underground gatherings in the Malaysian jungle, Chinese meadows, the floating villages and bamboo forests of Thailand as well as clandestine clubs in Japan.

The outcome is a far different style than what I play in Europe: it pays respect to the intoxicating, overwhelming vibe of the East.  No breaks. Not suitable for a lazy Sunday. Definitely suitable for your own private stomp, after which you will probably need a shower... :) Have an exceptional mind-bending journey through this psychedelic jungle experience!  Enjoy and Boom Shankar! xxx

With his trademark ability to pick dancefloor hits that test the limits of style and genre, Boom Shankar's latest offering on BMSS Records pushes forward with new twists, fresh approaches and unusual directions! Trancefusion Chapter 1 expertly engineered over the course of a year, is his 7th CD compilation and also his label's 20th CD release. Reinvented hypnotic classics stand alongside funky intriguing, innovative projects that blur boundaries without losing the quintessence of Psychedelic and Trance.

Some highlights from Chapter 1 include a technodelic funkster from the elusive Electrypnose, Yudhisthira's new progressive project Aumni, tracks from our Israeli friends Hujaboy, ShivaTree and Mystic, a stellar collaboration between Datacult and Dark Nebula as well as the mind-bending sounds of Reversed Logic and PsiloCybian.

Quintessential and compelling, Trancefusion is a surprising voyage into Psychedelic Trance that stays true to the underground spirit. An unusual retelling of that familiar and beloved sound. Uninhibited, expressive, deep and definitively Psychedelic.

Trancefusion Chapter 1 (Compiled by Boom Shankar)

In My Head

ShivaTree - In My Head [Full Version] VA Trancefusion 1 by Boom Shankar

FREE DOWNLOAD! ♥

Here it is: the second installment of my Jungle Spirit series! A 96 minute journey into the realms of Psychedelic Trance mixed on the date of the Winter Solstice and featuring a high octane selection of my preferred trip advisors.

It took me more than a year to come up with another Dj mix which pays tribute to the intoxicating vibe of underground gatherings of the Far East and far beyond, which contains the essence of the terms PSYCHEDELIC and TRANCE, has a deep  hallucinogenic touch and which ensures the manifestation of a restless leg syndrome - plus, creates a true and interesting journey with an unexpected ending and welcomes the winter season....hallelujah, a lot of tasks! :)

But BOOM, I am surprisingly happy with the outcome and I hope you will share and enjoy this ride with me! <3

Medical grade Acid trip anyone? :P

Celebrating 20 years of the BMSS family and ten years of BMSS the record label, "Return to the Source” brings together sonic synthesis from all corners of the multiverse. 

17 tracks representing the mature tone of BMSS, which has evolved over the last two decades into a style that pays tribute to the source of our scene by disregarding trend and convention. An eclectic selection gathered by label manager and globe trotting DJ Boom Shankar to challenge standards that breed conformity and reflecting his own personal style that prioritizes story and flow over genre and BPM.

The story told by this 20th anniversary release unfolds in two parts. The journey begins by taking you back to the source and the darker side of the Psychedelic spectrum. Chapter 1 revolves around the intense magnetic power of the moon. 

Defiant, relentless energy distilled into: one of the last tracks by the recently departed Hux Flux, new music by psychedelic pioneer Total Eclipse, Japanese production perfection from Majide, Triceradrops and his hybrid psychedelic Techno, Dark Nebula and Datacult’s re-imagined “Beyond that Door” experienced through a Gamma Goblin filter, the prolific PsiloCybian and masterful productions by the legend worthy Braincell, Imaginary Sight and Lucid Mantra. Their sonic wizardry is designed to reinvent and reconnect you as you embark on this epic odyssey through the underbelly of moon-time music.

Clever re-interpretations of ancient Goa trance classics stand alongside the intensely psychedelic visionary art of Aashit Singh. His visual fusion of the old and the new creates a bridge between the past and the present where Plus 6 Masterings' full bodied analog sound gives each audible detail a clearly defined space. 

Unusual choices. New points of inspiration. A return to the past through the forward looking lens of the now. No rules. No limits.

Europe based Boom Shankar is a Dj for Psychedelic Trance, the label manager of BMSS Records, a mover, groover and event creator within Europe and Asia.

Having been initiated into the Goa Trance scene in the early Nineties and by travelling the globe ever since, his sets are a mirror of the constant melting pot of fundamental Psytrance characteristics.

Whether he is guiding the dance floor from the sunset through the night, from a peaking full moon into the sunrise, from the morning into a sun-blessed day, or closing a festival with one of his extended sets, the outcome is always a voyage filled with a depth and an energy that allows the crowd to experience a sense of freedom and a full expression of their self through Trance.

Energetic, ecstatic, transcendental, deep, mature, hypnotic and clearly distinguishable. Eye to eye with a unique and captivating smile.

Due to an experience of nearly 30 years behind the decks, and by having played at a plethora of underground & major events worldwide, he has developed a full understanding of the flow and the energies of each dance floor and is fully flexible in terms of "styles" which he considers a separation necessary to overcome. "Keeping it holistic" describes his approach to Psychedelic Trance probably best.

Through his fully improvised impromptu sets, he is able to interact personally with each dance floor, taking the audience on a trans-formative journey. His sets are not a performance, they are a direct form of communication through music, not a monologue but a full dialogue with the dancefloor which can last up to 12 hours. All of those journeys are unique and created in this specific moment in sync with the energy and the vibe of each dancefloor, a characteristic of the original approach to Djing Armin considers essential and necessary to keeping alive.

For Boom Shankar, this process of mutual giving and receiving between the Dj and the audience has led to rewarding and meaningful feedback from festivals like BOOM and Insomnia in Portugal, Universo Paralello in Brazil, Fusion, VooV, Indian Spirit and Antaris in Germany, Ozora and S.U.N. in Hungary, Glade in the UK, Summer never Ends, Reisefieber and Timegate in Switzerland, Hadra and Son Libre in France, Vortex in South Africa, Doof and Moksha in Israel, Transahara in Morocco, Transylvania Calling in Romania, Ometeotl, Poison and Fractal Dimension in Mexico, Universal Religion in Nepal and VER and Hill Top in India.

Memorable performances include headlining events in clubs from New York to San Francisco and Los Angeles, Montreal to Mexico City, Bangkok, Kuala Lumpur, Shenzen, Osaka and Seoul to London, Berlin, Beirut and Tel Aviv, Cape Town to Melbourne, Bangalore and Goa and in nearly every other major venue and Trance epicentre in the world.

Besides this, Boom Shankar is the label manager of BMSS Records, where he has released a dozen best-selling compilations so far:

Transmissions, Transition, Cosmic Connections, the Trancendance triptych series (Prologue - Denouement - Epilogue), Trancefusion 1 and Trancefusion 2, the 20 years anniversary double CD compilation Return to the Source I and Return to the Source II and Ailiphilia Chapter 1 and 2.

Those compilations featured artists such as Aes Dana, Braincell, Tristan, Technossomy, Etnica, Pleiadians, Hux Flux, Total Eclipse, Sonic Species & Avalon, Eat Static, Pogo, Lucas & Mechanimal, Egorythmia, Ovnimoon, Atmos, Cosmosis, Electrypnose, Hujaboy, Captain Hook, Headroom & Zen Mechanics, Entheogenic, Talpa, Martian Arts, Outsiders, ManMadeMan, Hypnoise or Hypnocoustics alongside all BMSS Records residents.

In addition, Boom Shankar is part of the S.U.N. Festival crew in Hungary, the Alice im Wummerland party series in Germany, Moon Mountain family in Thailand, Belantara Festival in Malaysia and a dozen other projects in which he contributes his energy and time in order to promote psychedelic culture globally as a true ambassador of Trance.
