The Funk Lab - Bright Lights (Twin Shape's Inner Glow Dub) [Funk Lab Records]

Even in the darkest of times, there is always hope and light to be found.

"Openness" is a deeply personal exploration of the themes of vulnerability, authenticity, and connections. Through my music, I delve into the depths of emotions, exploring the intricacies of human experience. My hope is that this album will provide comfort, inspiration, and support to all those who have felt broken and lost, and serve as a reminder of the power of resilience and hope.

It all starts with 'Openness.'
By being open, you build a lot of 'Connections.'
You will have wonderful 'Experiences.'
But then, you have to face the 'Consequences.'
After which, there is only 'Hope' left.
Then, it is time for 'Acceptance'...
And only then, you will achieve the 'Inner Light.'

This album is a genre-blending journey, combining electronic, chillout, and psybient elements with sampled ethnic instruments, ethereal voices, and electronic synth leads, as well as deep, warm, and punchy basslines. The music creates an immersive and emotive sonic landscape, inviting listeners to delve into their own inner world.

Immerse yourself in the emotive sounds of "Openness", and let the music take you on a unique sonic adventure.

"A Perfect Melody 2"

Track included in the compilation: Mira. 
Compiled by Green beats for Nutek Records.

Lab's Cloud - The kundalini ascension (VA-MIra. Nutek Rec)

[ Ambrosia ] is compiled by Fishimself and consists of 10 tracks composed by mainly Greek artists, whose names were seldom heard of, but who should quickly reach the pantheon of Psychill.

The compilation forms a dense musical journey built upon warm, downtempo grooves with a touch of electronica, breakbeat and idm, wrapped in hypnotic atmospheres, pulsating basslines and melancholic pads. 
Fishimself, the deejay and the man behind IT Records shop and Freeze Magazine, carefully chose the tracks so in order to evoke the far shores of the Greek Islands and to reveal their electronic music culture.

Featuring Max Million &amp; Gusk, Miktek, Sygnals, Sesen, Alpha Tek, Memphidos, One Arc Degree, and two French guests, AES Dana and Asura.

Grains of Sound is the progressive psy-trance to downtempo psychill to beatless ambient project from brothers Chris (Exeris) & Jason Sevanick, - dance, chill, or zone, they have you covered. If that wasn't enough, the brothers gained notoriety with their industrial act, Mindless Faith.

In 2017, Grains of Sound performed, among other festivals, in The Chill Dome at Ozora, the renowned global gathering. Their latest release is an EP on their own AlterCulture Records called "The Dome" which features five psychill and one beatless psybient tracks and attempts to share the amazing ambient experience of The Dome.

In 2007, Grains of Sound released their double-disc debut album "Rays of Life", comprised of Vol. 1 Down (downtempo) and Vol. 2 Under (ambient), on AlterCulture Records. Their follow up triple-disc album "Sine Language" (2010) received even greater acclaim for their exploration of different styles and energy levels. From atmospheric progressive psy-trance, to lush soundscapes and deep downtempo beats, to vast evolving layers which leave all beats behind, pure ambient intoxication. 

In 2012 Pharmacy Music released "Eager Fingers" and "Paradigm Bag" which showcased the duo's beautifully rich soundscapes driven by a progressive psychedelic trance core. So in 2013, Pharmacy asked Grains of Sound to remix "Beyond the Limit" by John "00" Fleming and Christopher Lawrence.

Grains of Sound has also had tracks featured on various compilations including most recently on BMSS Records. Grains of Sound  continues to perform in the US and Europe, past festival bookings include: Ozora (Hungary), New Healing (Germany), Life Celebration (Croatia), Goa Dupa (Poland), Zagoa (Morocco), and Gaian Mind (US).
