Pscycadelic Report TIP RECORD UK

I started work on a Rikki Rokkit comp for TIP earlier this year and realised recently that by chance it is the 100th album release across all of my labels!    A perfect way to celebrate such an achievement and the title had to be changed to simply 100! 
The 6 labels I have worked on in the last 20 years are Tip Records, Tip World, Tip New World and also 10 Kilo (Breakbeat, Electro, Tech House), Surround Sounds (House, Tribal, Tech House) and Lucky 7´s (Electro, Rock, Indie Dance).

Over all this time, from early Goa Trance days and the genres of my sister labels, a lot of music and artists have passed under the bridge.  Maybe as many as 400 different acts and many styles.  I always tend to steer to towards the very deep, fat, rich, spacious, groovy sounds but still Psychedelic.  Deep Psy Tech Trance.  We feel there are moments for all styles and over 20 years we have shown that by releasing what we love from almost every style that has come along within the Psy and Goa genres but also many others. 

This album I hope sounds fresh, unique, without boundaries.  A more analogue feel perhaps.  A certain flavour of the old school mixes with cutting edge new ideas from some of the most exciting brand new acts mix.  Original pioneers of the genre like legends Man With No Name and Graham Wood of The Infinity Project mix with new acts like Black Noise, ON3 and Empirikal.  Add in some super talented guys with top level production history like Bus (Gus Till), Born Sleepy (Illumination) and Duotekk (Soul Seekers & Logic Bomb) and a collaboration between one of the most exciting new acts in the last year, Martian Arts with Rikki Rokkit himself,  and its one exciting, high quality album.  It´s  all about the music and not about latest fashions. Uncompromising.  Here there are varied BPM´s, there is no rush for big effects, just well structured psychedelic dance music by some people who know how to do it very well.  

For me the groove is in the space.  I hope I have found it here.  I only wish I had this collection on vinyl like back in the day...

I hope you enjoy.
