Psyence Lab 002 Feat Menog & Amordad Interviews Jan 2021

First fell in love with electronic music in the 90's rave scene. Out of all the genre's its Trance that has my heart and soul, especially psy, tech, tough driving beats that put your hands in the air and goosebumps everywhere!

James Corbett loves nothing more than to see the smiles and moves from a connected and captivated audience, and especially engage in the transfer of energy that only a vibe filled dance floor can provide. 

A Sydney resident that was Adelaide born but resided in the UK in his early years, he first discovered dance music through listening to late night shows on BBC Radio 1 which sparked his passion for mixing as early as 9yrs old, where he experimented mixing on twin tape decks. Today however, he's a label DJ for the highly renowned United Beats Records label owned by Mad Maxx.

Corbett’s sound is heavily focused in the realms of Full-On Psy Trance, with his sets full of melodic leads, distinctive bass lines and all-round atmosphere. That’s not to say that you won’t hear a little bit of Progressive or maybe even a splash of other types of Psy Trance, because he’s all about the journey and adaptability. He is renowned not only for his silky-smooth mixing ability, but for structuring his sets in a way that build and maintain a high vibrational energy on the dance floor, coupled also with the fact that his sets are never planned beyond the point of playlist of options, Corbett is a DJ that keeps the true craft of DJing alive, and has done since his career began in 2001 spinning hard house and trance. 

He has established himself on the Australian and International festival circuit having graced the stages at the likes of Tree of Life Festival in Greece, AUM Festival in New Zealand, Earthcore & Babylon in Victoria (the latter two under in his duo The Psy-entists). He is regularly booked to support major acts in the club circuit which have included the likes of Ace Ventura, Liquid Soul, Astrix, Infected Mushroom and so much more. 

In 2011 Corbett co-founded Psy-ence Fiction with best friend and the other half of The Psy-entists, Adam Stapleton. This events brand has seen Adelaide get placed on the international touring map thanks to having the likes of Mad Maxx, GMS, Nikki S, Menog, Digicult, Reality Test, Infected Mushroom, Juno Reactor, Vini Vici, Grouch (and many more) grace their stage either solely under the Psy-ence Fiction brand or in conjunction with other events like interstate events brands. Psy-ence Fiction has since expanded into Sydney and will likely spread its wings elsewhere in years to come. 

Corbett’s skillset doesn’t lay just with performing at and hosting events however, he is quite the entrepreneur with a wealth of involvement in music media under his belt such as Mushroom Magazine, DJ Mag, Inthemix to name a few. He’s also co-produced a music documentary called Decks and the City, and has recently been getting into the art of interviewing key artists in the industry, with his first two interviews having been held with Phaxe and Ace Ventura, he’s mostly certainly set the bar very high from the get go.

In the midst of the 2020 global pandemic, Corbett launched his new online radio show Psyence Lab, which plays host to Australian and International artists new releases, guest interviews and guest mixes.

Needless to say, Corbett has a strong community ethic engrained in everything he does and his sets are consistent. One thing for certain, he thrives on the journey and contributing his positive dose of energy into the world of Psy Trance.

Hailing originally from Iran, the two brothers behind Amordad discovered their deep passion for electronic music during their early teenage years. Their journey took a transformative turn upon moving to Australia, where they immersed themselves in the vibrant doof scene—a defining experience that inspired their commitment to psychedelic trance and its surrounding culture.
Since 2016, the duo has been crafting their own distinctive sound, blending driving basslines, groovy rhythms, euphoric old-school melodies, and richly textured psychedelic atmospheres. Their performances are not just DJ sets but immersive musical journeys designed to ignite the dancefloor and elevate consciousness.
As the founders and creative force behind Psytribe Sydney, they’ve played an instrumental role in shaping the local psytrance community—curating events, supporting emerging talent, and performing at both underground gatherings and major festivals.
With a string of successful releases and a deep dedication to their craft, Amordad continue to push boundaries, delivering unforgettable sonic experiences that celebrate divine moment of now.

Wissam Attieh, better known as W!SS, is a talented Trance DJ and producer hailing from Lebanon. From an early age, he fell in love with melodic electronic music and was captivated by tunes like Children, For An Angel, and Exploration of Space. This love for music led him to attend parties and events, where he would listen closely to the DJs and their performances.

In 2012, W!SS decided to try his hand at producing music himself, and began practicing in his own room. Five years later, in 2017, he released his first track on a small Canadian label called Elekric Cafe. Since then, he has continued to make more music and sign tunes to different labels, including Entrancing Music, Eximinds Airlines, Above All, Trance All-Stars, Redux, Yeiskomp, and more.

Today, W!SS is a resident at Tempo Radio's Weekly Radio show Euphoric Garden and has received support from many top Trance DJs such as Paul Van Dyk, Aly & Fila, Andrew Rayel, Roger Shah, Bobina, Roman Messer, Ori Uplift, Rene Ablaze, Madwave, and more.

In 2019, W!SS and collaborators Ash K & Junior launched their own label, Nahawand Recordings, which has already received early support from industry heavyweights such as Paul Van Dyk, Andrew Rayel, Tom Exo, Manuel Le Saux and others.
