👻 PSYBUZZ 008 ~ pérez 👻

Passionate digger, obsessive record collector and digger, pérez is the founder of the DIY invite only, ‘sis tema soundsystem’ collective in the south-west of Spain, creating a community in his region for this particular non-existing sound. pérez (@usuario_m) brings a slice of what usually goes down during a peak time set and a showcase of his collection, after we previously enjoyed his contributions for @jeromemixfileseries and Paris's @radioflouka – A ride of psychedelic, euphoric, progressive classics - spiced up with some hints of goa, proto goa, and prog.

Psybuzz ~ 008 - pérez

After D Hux (@dominic-huxley) absolutely smashed warm-up duties at one of our first ever Whomps, founder Annx (@anna-rose-wirth) invited him on the ‘Sound of Whomp’ to show us what he’s got deep in his collection. 


One third of Pala Sounds party crew and mastermind behind Quarantine Vibe Checks, D Hux has put together an hour vinyl-only mix inspired by “the peak time slot bag” — selected perfectly to see in the sunrise. Tuck in to this deliciousness.

The fifth instalment of the Voyages mix series puts @hanndmusic firmly in the pilot seat, setting off straight to Plantera HQ.

With Dan first catching our eye at parties with the Down to Earth collective in Bristol (namely an Underwater set in a tiny basement💦) we decided we had to give the Comma Traxx head the reigns for a Voyage.

Strap in for deep, driving hypnosis from eery to etheral, with no stone inbetween left unturned.

Thank you Dan 👾

"A lone traveller emerges from their crash-landed ship upon Plantera, uncertain of what land is before them and what mysteries await. Through the dense, purple mist a marshy woodland appeared. A luminous curiosity pulses from the forest that surrounds this lone wonderer, inviting them to explore with aimless enthusiasm.

Taking them through thick fog bewilderment with shimmers of panic2, enducing sporadic segments of sprinting for safety. Morphing through lucid curiosity into dark and dense dashes of adrenaline; always questioning 'where am I?' somehow their thoughts echoed off the surrounding trees, thick of reverberating thought bubbles. 

Despite a desire to feel scared, the wonderer somehow felt comforted by the surrounding vast atmosphere of Plantera. Ascending to the utopic tree city that inhabits the fog land, the local colony offers nourishment and peace to rest with ease, only a taster of the endless beauty that Plantera can offer"

Floating us through a deeply dug collection of old school, early trance, London based Bethan takes our minds into a state of luminous bliss for the 67th episode of CommaCast.

London via Birmingham based collector Bethan has been impressing the dancefloors of late. With an ever developing list of fantastic parties that has showcased her unique knack for finding the ethereal or straight up one of a kind tracks that wows the sound systems and breathes new life into tunes that should never be lost in the caves of old school early trance. This mix represents that drive to find the sublime, representing this DJ's unique taste in tune digging and we are grateful to be able to share it with you all.

Up next on the mix series, we have Dublin favourite @sino_em stepping up to the plate with an hour of techy prog business. Sino has been long on our radar, mainly due to his monthly radio show on DDR, but also from his much talked about sets in the club basements across Dublin.

'Very excited to share this mix of different picks than I’d usually play out! An hour or proggy, trance, and adjacent bits which I hope represent the series well. Huge love to the Solace Space crew for inviting me on, they are running some amazing parties in Dublin recently.

Was super fun putting this mix together, a blend of sounds which have been integral to much of my taste so it was very nice to revisit!'

The seventh contribution to the Voyage mix series is gifted to us by our good friend and all-round super talented human being, AK-ONE.

Greg is a multi-medium artist based in Bristol, leaving no stone unturned when it comes to self expression. Whilst consistently exploring various realms of his craft, Greg's style and taste resonates deeply with ourselves at Plantera HQ.

Running the inspirational label 'Common Ancestors', and consistently producing insanely emotive music; it was an intuitive decision to ask him to narrate the next Voyage to Plantera.  

Big Love to you Greg <3


"Day breaks and the mist clears over the vast plains of Plantera, immense herds migrate through the heat of the pounding sun and the grass sways in the breeze.

As the sun disappears over the horizon, the creatures of the night come out to hunt, the moon illuminates eyes in the darkness.

Senses are heightened, the Savannah is a dangerous place to be after dark." - AK-ONE
