Name: High On Life by Gaudium in Black Cavale
Duration: 8 min 1 s
Description: Third album by Gaudium released at Iboga records in 2011

Black Cavale

Jel Ford kicks off his return EP with two tracks of clean big room techno. The title track ‘Backyard’ is a moody affair with a low drone throughout that is complimented with layered synth stabs. Using reverb to create atmosphere within the track it subtly breaks down before a vocal hook transcends the track to deliver a killer blow. ‘Meeting of Minds’ is dubbier and uses a tripped out synth to add rhythm whilst working alongside a synth pattern to keep the track chugging along. The slow evolving pads add texture and keep the track nicely filled out whilst this timeless classic keeps on giving.

The Drumcode A-Sides compilation is quickly becoming synonymous within the techno world as a go to compilation for the hottest tracks that are deservedly A-side material in their own right. Each specific track has it own unique character that brings an outstanding and electrifying aspect to the compilation that as a whole makes it something extremely special. Mixing both highly experienced and new artists has helped to bring a new dimension to the compilation that makes it such a special array of tracks.

Sometimes, the right path finds you. Iboga Records proudly presents Rite of Passage, a transcendent new compilation curated by label heads Emok & Banel. More than just a collection of tracks, this release embodies the essence of transformation, connection, and the profound moments that define our journey. The compilations name and artwork were born from a chance encounter at Fusion Festival 2023, where the energy of the moment led to deep conversations about music, spirituality, and the sacred African plant medicine, Iboga. Inspired by this serendipitous meeting, Rite of Passage weaves together genre-defying, driving soundscapes that guide listeners on a journey beyond the dancefloor—into realms of introspection and sonic euphoria. Music is the answer—it transcends boundaries and weaves souls together.

Mercuroid & Misaya - Somnium [sample]

Inspired by the awe-inspiring moment when humans first witnessed an Earthrise from space, Protonica delivers a powerful sonic journey that captures the emotion of seeing our tiny blue planet suspended in the vastness of the cosmos. With the dream of one day experiencing this sight firsthand, Earthrise blends psychedelic depth with progressive energy. A cinematic intro leads into a driving 139 BPM groove, rich with a wide stereo bassline and atmospheric gated pads - designed to mirror the magnitude and beauty of this iconic, humbling moment in human history.

Earthrise

Navy Gator - Pleiads (Original Mix)

Serenity in Chaos is the second psytrance album by SHAKI (Sol Music) – a hypnotic blend of ethnic textures, deep shamanic chants, and earth-shaking basslines. This is a luminous and painful psychedelic journey through inner landscapes of childhood memory. Each track is a step in a healing process, where moments of stillness emerge from the storm. Between ancient mantras and relentless beats, Serenity in Chaos offers a glimpse of peace within the pulse of chaos – a soundscape where trance becomes therapy, and rhythm becomes release.

Serenity in Chaos (Album II)

Very happy to share with you our latest creation. Avalon & tristan remix of "The Techno Code" by techno legend Enrico sangiuliano for his ninetozero label. Sometimes Real magic happens when two musical worlds collide and create a dancefloor hybrid monster of a tune. 

We loved the original track with its signature vocal and deep rolling vibe. It was the perfect tune for us to metamorphose into a psytrance festival banger! 
Even tho Enrico’s version has so much space it seemed like all the elements were there waiting for us to exploit. The E.p featuring charlotte de witte, & remixes of Enrico is out on July 3rd on Ninetozero records!

2004 was the year that two old friends, Andreas and Denis, decided to hit the studio to have some fun. After a couple of days the first tune was created and they were both very happy with the result. They decided to continue making music together and so Gaudium was born. Gaudium is the Latin word for satisfaction which is basically what music should be to the ears.

Both Andreas and Denis have been involved in several music projects before they decided to start producing together. At the end of 2004 the Swedish record label Spiral Trax heard a Gaudium track that really caught their attention and that became the start of the first album Nordic Nature. The album was released during the summer 2005 and received great reviews from both fans and critics all over the world, some even claiming it to be the best progressive release of the year (!)

The year after the album was released turned out to be a very productive time for Gaudium and they released tracks on labels like Flow, Plusquam, Sinn-Tech and Yellow Sunshine Explosion. Remixes on tracks by artists like Ace Ventura, Sensifeel, Visua and Symphonix were also made. 

Gaudium creates music that can be described as progressive psychedelic trance with elements of both house and techno. This attracts an audience that is used to the sounds of Spiral Trax, Iboga and Digital Structures as well as the crowd that are more familiar with harder progressive house such as Marc O’Tool and Krüger & Coyle.

In 2006 after the sad news that Spiral Trax label group stopped existing Gaudium went back to the studio to focus on not going down with the ship. A new album started to take shape and a record deal with the highly respected Danish label Iboga was made.

Gaudium is a name you will hear a lot from in the future. New remixes, performances around the world and fresh material produced for the second album will be presented. Stay tuned and make sure not to miss any of it :)

High On Life
