Another Sample OUT NOW for The Gathering Compiled by Conscious Records. 

The Psychedelic Trance project of Hanré Kotzé currently residing in Cape Town, South
Africa.
Growing up in a music school Solus tried his hand at various instruments and got
hooked playing metal guitar for most of his teens. His love for psytrance began in 2012
when he first heard Infected Mushroom perform at Ramfest after Swedish band, In
Flames. This new passion was fed by attending numerous psytrance festivals and
listening to the genre non-stop.
In 2017 he started DJing at house parties focusing on Psychedelic Fullon. Soon after
this idea went public and Synergetic was born in Pretoria. This event prides itself in
showcasing a number of the local powerhouse DJs.
After moving to Cape Town in 2018, Solus decided to broaden his horizon and started
to produce the music he loves so much himself, mainly focusing on Psychedelic from
145 – 148 BPM.
In Cape Town he has played at numerous Psygasm events. He has also played at other
events namely: Earthdance 2018 (Johannesburg), Mandala Madness (Johannesburg).
Solus is committed to captivating the listener with a high-energy journey taking
inspiration from artists such as Ajja, Imaginarium, Virtual Light, Chris Rich, Jumpstreet
and many more.

Solus - Unidentified Object(Track Sample) Demo

Banging on pots and pans for cymbals and expensive tupperware for toms as a child might have angered my parents, but they did notice that I like music.

I loved to sing along and dance to Barney. You know how it goes.

Fast forward fifteen years, and I was banging my head to ACDC, Seether, Metallica and Queen.

After plinky plonking on a classical Yamaha guitar for three years, I finally managed to gain a Fender Squire. This signified a new era of parental teeth gnashing.

Fast forward another four years, I was singing my first original song on live TV on KykNet; not on my blaring fender but on the acoustic sweetness that pop music required and that which made the girls cheer.

In the same time I started Sovereign Grace Music School with my ex partner in business who shall not be named. I then played a few live gigs as a vocalist and rhythm guitar. Started a band, wrote a few singles that never got released. To my bitter realisation, the business was a sham and my partner up and disappeared.

If you have been following along with the subtext, you would notice that half-asring it would be the flavour of my teen life. Stick with me here.

High school ends and real life hits me in the face a few times. The music industry is picky and the pickings are slim. I lose interest. I stop playing. Stop singing. Yet, I start drumming. I had fun jamming with some Pretoria bands like JackValve while studying. Yet, nothing seemed to light my fuse. Not even the Slipknot/Gojira cover band I managed to land the vocal spot for. 

One fateful day, I meet this guy who plays me this laughable doof doof music with crunchy synthesisers on a tablet speaker. Instantly unimpressed, I told him that whatever this is, it is not for me. With a smirk he told me: "Come with us to Phenomena"

I say yes. On a cold June  morning we arrive. I check the vibe, its very hippy and also very techy. But then, as we approached the stage, something happened. I felt that magic. That subbass in my chest. as I got closer, the inimaginable charisma and limitless creativity of this music hit me like loadshedding. The more I listened, the more I understood. I was so wrong. This wasn't just for me; this was going to be the destiny I write. My fuse was lit. I started to dance, and smile for the first time in years. The kind of smile that comes from inside the dark part of the soul that has seen new light.

Fast forwarrd another four years. enter the present. My incessant hounding and networking of local DJ's and Producers had finally led me into a courses with Koass Kontrol, Battlefloor, Puppet Master, Key to Insanity and Psydewise. My hunger for production has only begun to feed. My journey of production has only begun to shape.

Now I am humbly hononered to be welcomed into the Conscious Records Family. They have given me to opportunity for the dancefloors to grace ME, not the other way around. The opportunity to inspire the minds of every trancer I encounter with my message. I aim to drop every drop as if it were my last. To extract every whistle of approval and sore feet of the hanging stompers. This music is meant to take to to new levels of inspiration. To change our raving reality. Hold on tight. Let's have the most fun.

Welcome to the show.

Cosmic Apocalypse is the combined project of Backspace & Singularity from Kaos Krew Records.

"The messengers of the apocalypse, a standing feature, destined to bring forth the apocalypse, the end of this current era..."

These protégés of the new digital age are unrivalled in passion and drive for the inevitable revolution of psychedelic music and through their combined experience of more than a decade, aim to represent their unique interpretation of this intense form of music, creating the platform for a new age of psychedelic music, a new awareness of self.

As A&R Managers for one of the most exciting digital music record labels in the business today, Cosmic Apocalypse are in a unique position to usher in this new era as messengers of the Psychedelic Prophets, acting as a medium for enlightenment during a time where truth is the new frontier, shedding old ways, old prejudices, and constantly raising the bar and pushing the human evolution towards new psychedelic frontiers of discovery and development, ultimately creating a new consciousness on dance floors in this post-apocalyptic transition that lies ahead.

Creating a psychedelic order and Kaos simultaneously, Cosmic Apocalypse are starting to earn a reputation, showcasing their apocalyptic vision with malevolent intent, for any and all a dance floor they come across, incorporating clever mixing, razor sharp effects, mind consuming progression, and constantly acquiring the most secretive of weapons besides what they cook up in the lab...

Continually smashing conventional expectations, be prepared for an apocalyptic experience that will leave you wanting more..

Cosmic Apocalypse - Drone Invasion 147 BPM (SAMPLE) OUT NOW)

The Light Brother is duo act from Priest and Singularity Psy.

Priest bio:
The young producer spent his first few years of ‘trancing’ simply enjoying the music, embracing the lifestyle and studying the true essence of this phenomenal way of life. One could say that he had seen the proverbial light.

Early March of 2015 saw the ordination of the psytrance artist we now know as Priest; and even though the title has been my nickname for all of his adult life, this was the birth of someone completely new. The moniker itself is by no means religiously binding but at the same time is not merely a baseless gimmick that sounds cool. No; what you get when you encounter Priest is a young man, pure of heart, teaching without even preaching a word but using his own life as an example to spread his message: live as cleanly a life as you possibly can.

Singularity:

Biography
Singularity is the solo project of Andre Muller, one half of Kaos Krew Record's powerful duo, Cosmic Apocalypse, born and bred in the beautiful capital of psychedelic music in South Africa, Cape Town.

Having written music for more than 5 years now, he has truly come into his own, evolving the new Singularity project from the early production beginnings of his original DJ act Militant, back in 2010. Thus a new exciting sound has been created from his collective experience as head of one of SA's most exciting record labels, his many Dj and live sets as Militant over the last 6 years, and his experience writing with his original production partner as Cosmic Apocalypse and the many other top producers he has had the pleasure and opportunity to share knowledge with... A sound that can only be described as a delectable mix of psychedelics, melody, rhythm and power!!!

With his debut EP on UK label Biopulse Records peaking at #25 on the Beatport Psy Trance Top 100 Chart and forthcoming releases on Enterprise Records (Israel), Dropland Recordings (Spain) and Kaos Krew Records (South Africa) confirmed for the rest of 2016, this act seriously means business...
