Presenting 'Bouncy Tales'; the new four-track EP from Halfred, centered around the artist's whimsically cheerful sound. The opening track 'Slowctopus' is a bubbly halftime banger, sounding as oddly fun as a slimy sea creature moonwalking on the ocean bed, while 'Outta The Cave Man' takes the same tone and applies it to a pre-historic cabaret kind of setting. Snowons (VIP) is a polished rendition of Halfred's first contribution to Outtallectuals in 2015, upgraded for modern clarity, while Chuggington's heavier sound comes through the collaboration with producer, Know Matter. Overall, the EP's half-time / glitch DnB aura is crafted for light moments on dancefloors while maintaining the technical bass music production firmly in tact.

HALFREAK

Big Thanks to The Untz for the nice article: https://www.theuntz.com/news/halfred-and-lorenzo-celebrate-outtallectuals-with-inaani/

10 years on from the conception of Outtallectuals in the form of a Facebook community, we're delighted to still be here, finetuning the label's signature sound in a never-ending global creative soup.

Accordingly, 'Liminal Lore' celebrates OUTTA's first decade through a predictably collaborative roster, featuring the label regulars, as well as new contributors such as Bulgarian legends, Ivan Shopov and Theodossii Spassov, cinematic bass producer, Boketto, the deep ambient psychedelic dub techno duo of Arkaean and Unsung I, and POAN, Lo.Renzo's ambient side project with Giacomo Barbari.

The concept of 'Lore' is sonified through the 'old world' influences of the album; through the sounds of nature, bulbul tarang, banjo, g clarinet, darbuka, hang drum, sarangi, slide guitars, violins, flutes & tribal percussions. 'Liminality' is, of course, through the celebration of a shifting decade, an in-between milestone for the label.

AlpaKa MuziK presents: Digital Disorder, Vol. 1
Compiled by Lara S & Kozy

Get ready to plunge into the shadows of the psychedelic techno underground. Digital Disorder, Vol. 1 marks the first official label compilation curated by AlpaKa’s very own chaos conductors: First ever AlpaKA DJ Lara S and label boss KOZY.

For this inaugural volume, they’ve dialed into a darker, grittier, and more relentlessly driving spectrum of psytech — delivering 19 heavy-hitting tracks crafted by 27 producers from across the globe. From cavernous basslines to twisted modular grooves, this collection is a full-spectrum blast of raw, mind-bending energy designed to ignite late-night dancefloors and twisted after-hours alike.

This is not just a compilation — it’s a disruption of the digital order.
Enter the disorder.

Shanti Planti’s 2019 compilation, Rhythm Code IIII, is a chimerical showcase of the dark, edgy, and hallucinatory dimensions of the psychedelic bass realm. Inviting listeners in with a warm embrace before funneling them through an increasingly twisted series of sonic corridors and landscapes, the collection delves into the depths of earth­-shattering halftime, radical psychedelic glitch, seductive dub, and dreamy downtempo. A cinematic tour of sound that pushes the fringes of high-­tech psychedelia to new frontiers, Rhythm Code IIII offers a lucid glimpse into the convergent potential of the human collective as viewed through the eyes of Shanti Planti’s global network of musical visionaries.

Presenting the latest Outtallectuals compilation, ‘Almanac Lullabies’, featuring a collection of compositions by the label’s international roster. Pertaining to the label’s distinct global flavour and taking influence from the cultures of the Near East and Asia, the album is a largely collaborative effort which utilises 18 of the label’s beatmakers and multi-instrumentalists to merge cross-genre electronic and traditional music in their own innovative rights.

Late last year, Key-G returned to Desert Trax with his Curled Up Dimensions EP. This summer, Desert Dwellers' label assembles some of the best rising stars and established veterans in the psybreaks and psydub realms for a jam-packed remix collection. 

Standouts from this new remix EP include a sprawling 11-minute journey from UK legend Globular on “Unleashing the Forces.” Instead of slowing things down like they did for their new duo project, Jakare, Halfred and Lo.Renzo return to their midtempo psy roots with remixes of “Quantum Strikes” and “Ascension Upgrade,” respectively. Newcomer Johny Pablo impresses with the “Pinpricks of Light” remix, and Key-G takes on his own “Third Eye Girl” to close out the set.

Curled Up Remixes is out July 26th on Desert Trax.

Desert Dwellers - Dreams Within A Dream (Halfred Remix)

From Shanti Planti's Rhythm Code V Compilation:

The fifth electrifying entry to Shanti Planti’s annual compilation series, ‘Rhythm Code 5’ unites the musical visions of over twenty artists from across the globe in a tale of converging minds and shapeshifting realities. Drawing energy from a menacing fusion of dark, surreal, and heavy-hitting electronic styles, these protean creations speak to the essence of psychedelic music in their deployment of rapturous basslines, mind-bending melodies, and full-spectrum acoustics. Hitting on every tempo and extracting the raw essence of what those landscapes can offer, Shanti Planti and its expanding cohort of sonic mystics invite listeners to peel back the layers separating these realms and relish in the universal rhythms embedded within all creation.

New Psytech project is born on 5/12/24 : HALFREAK is its name!

BIO:
Halfred is the culmination of years and years of aural exploration. Originally a drummer, the Italian born sonic warrior found his roots in drumming which led him to music production, along with a degree in electronic music production at SAE, in Milan. His eclectic approach makes it hard to categorize his music and this is partially due to the fact that his sound breaks the often repetitive mold of psy music, seamlessly taking the forms of dub, hiphop, drum n bass, garage, and world music and while staying true to his signature sound and focused on the micro details, he’s constantly experimenting with the squishy and granular side of psychedelic mid-tempo, drum and bass, dubstep, psybass and all things
psychedelic. During last years, he collaborated and remixed top notch artists like Desert Dwellers, Whitebear, Tribone, Zebbler Encanti Experience, Duffrey, Tryptich and had music released on labels such as Merkaba Music, Shanti Planti, Outtallectuals, Gravitas Recordings, Wakaan and more, as well as playing many festivals and nights in the European and North-American scene, such as Boom , Modem, Hadra, Shankra, Tribal Gathering, Own Spirit, Lost Theory, Isis Garden,Street Parade, Create Culture, Infrasound, Wormhole Wednesdays and Cosmic Sinergy Final Fridays.
