Dive into the abyss. Widen your ears. Experience something that will bring you closer to the sound that rings within the quantum reality. Our reality.

Enjoy this live recording of my set up up in the mountains amidst a hot thunderstorm. Echo Gatherings really brought all the elements of life upon us and composed an unforgettable weekend.

This mix consists mostly of my own original music and also tracks from other artists, such as; Djantrix, Spirit Architect, PsyFiction, Sinerider and Xerox.

Capes - Easter Vortex 2022

I haven't released a free song in ages so I thought it would be a good time to do so since I reached 1K followers. So this one is for you and thank you for following and supporting me in any way!

In a time where the world seems to be finding itself again after a global pandemic, the line between what is real and what is an illusion has become even more blurred. Rubix Qube has been lured out of hiding by fresh Cape Town Psychedelic upstart, Capes, for a collaboration that injects groove & melodic energy back into the Twilight Psy sound. "Underneath Reality" packs a mega punch to the body & mind, and we hope this combo teams up again in the future.

Chronology

Abstraction

Tick Tock

In light of the Covid-19 taking the world by storm and causing us to take isolation. I decided to produce something different in these strange times. Something more ambient with a theme of the virus.

I also included a free 24bit WAV download!

Pandemonium

Capes - Pandemonium

Psy.ology Records VA compiled by Grayscale

We who see through the day, have nothing left to fear in the dark.

And as the foreign chants and happy-go-lucky ramblings finally subside, the whisper of something far more human attracts your attention.

You freeze. Unafraid. Just caught off-guard.

Suddenly, a bassline, familiar, but more intentional, seduces first, your feet, and then, your soul.

Smiling as though you were mischief itself, you hear a voice in your head “I … like it”.

Introducing, the Caligo Concept - “Something you didn’t know that you needed to hear, in a place that you’d been before, but never danced”.

The Caligo Concept

Area Fifty Yum

Capes - Area Fifty Yum

A voidout is described as an annihilation event. An unearthly explosion that wrecks everything in it's way and is caused by a cosmic phenomenon. Such a phenomenon can also be found in psychedelic music. This EP will take you on that same venture through space, time and intergalactic implosions.

Reverberation Station

The live Psy Trance act of Ruan Capes. 
A dreamy, yet powerful, psychedelic style. Edging the borders of both night and daytime trance.
