Pocket Rocket PSYTRANCE

I'm in love with a Ghossssssst Girllllllll 

Ghost Girl (Dysedelic Edit)

And just like that it's Wednesday again! This week we bring you something special! Introducing Zephir! Now, not only is this man an amazing DJ, producer and also event runner - he is also a recently new friend of mine... and upon creation of this brand it's sole focus was to hone in on and solidify connection and interpersonal relationships... especially when it comes to the introduction of new people!

Although no one knows for certain from where or when he had arrived, the alien known as ZEPHIR has found his home in Melbourne's psytrance scene and has begun to make a name for himself. Having recently played his first bush doof set at Celestial Grove, in addition to multiple gigs at My Aeon and SERÜM, expect nothing less than an energy-filled journey from each and every one of ZEPHIR's sets.

Phil, the face behind ZEPHIR, believes psychedelic trance to be the ultimate form of self-expression. ZEPHIR draws his sonic energy from various sources of inspiration; from the old beach parties of Goa to the full-on sound which has captivated audiences across the globe, ZEPHIR blends the essence of psychedelic trance as a medium of self-discovery and higher consciousness with the uncompromising rolling bass characteristic of modern psytrance. 


Through his sets, ZEPHIR wishes to captivate audiences with the same love, freedom and energy he feels dancing the night or day away to psy each and every time.


Now let me shut up so you can listen!

The Bells · Jeff Mills T.A.M.F. remix

Schranz and Its Connection to Jeff Mills’ “The Bells”

Connection to Jeff Mills’ “The Bells”: Jeff Mills’ The Bells (1997, Purpose Maker, PM-002) isn’t pure Schranz but heavily influenced its development. Its raw, hypnotic loop and pounding 4/4 kick resonated with the harder, minimal techno sound that Schranz built upon. Here’s how it ties in:
* Influence on Schranz Producers: Mills’ use of repetitive, functional loops in The Bells inspired Schranz’s stripped-down aesthetic. Its 140 BPM tempo and relentless drive aligned with Schranz’s ethos, making it a proto-Schranz track for DJs like Liebing or Boris S.
* Club Play: The Bells was a staple in late ’90s hard techno sets, bridging Detroit techno’s soul with Schranz’s aggression. Its iconic bell riff added a melodic hook that Schranz often avoided but still absorbed as a reference for tension-building.
* Remixes and Legacy: Later Schranz DJs (e.g., Eric Sneo, DJ Amok) remixed or drew from The Bells’ energy. For example, the 2006 10th Anniversary The Bells 12” (PM-020) had a louder, Schranz-friendly master that fit harder sets.

Original Pressing Context: As mentioned earlier, The Bells appeared on the Kat Moda EP (1997, Purpose Maker, PM-002, 12” vinyl). Its raw production—gritty kicks, unpolished mastering—mirrors Schranz’s unrefined edge. Schranz DJs likely gravitated to originals or early represses for their analog warmth, though the track’s quieter mix (compared to 2000s Schranz cuts) required DJs to crank the gain.

Where to Find Schranz-Inspired The Bells:
* Original 1997 Vinyl: Hunt on Discogs/Reverb for PM-002 ($20–$50). Check matrix: PM 002-A/B (RE I) NSC.
* Streaming: The 1997 version (on Spotify/Beatport) retains the raw vibe Schranz fans love.
* Modern Schranz Comps: Look for The Bells in hard techno mixes or CLR/Tresor compilations. Check X posts or SoundCloud for recent Schranz sets featuring it.

Schranz Today (Oct 2025): Schranz remains a niche but vibrant scene. Recent X posts highlight new releases on labels like Schranz Total or Hard Drive, with DJs like Fernanda Martins and Luciid pushing 150+ BPM bangers. The Bells still gets play in retro sets or as a remixed bootleg in Schranz raves.

Deep Dive: Schranz – The Hard Techno Beast 🦖
Since you’re doubling down on Schranz, let’s go full throttle. This is the raw, pounding heart of German hard techno—no fluff, just facts, history, essentials, and where to score it today (Oct 16, 2025). The Bells connection? It’s the proto-Schranz blueprint—hypnotic loops + brutal kick = Schranz DNA. Ready? Gas it up!

Schranz 101: What the Hell Is It?
* Born: Late 1990s, Frankfurt/Germany. Evolved from Jeff Mills/Rene Pawlowitz-style minimal techno into a weaponized sound.
* Tempo: 140–160+ BPM (faster = harder life).
* Sound: Distorted 909 kicks that hurt, razor-sharp hi-hats, zero melody (unless it’s a stab), industrial noise loops. Think: a jackhammer in a warehouse.
* Name Origin: Chris Liebing (2001) called it “Schranz” to mock haters saying hard techno was just “schrammel” (grating noise). DJs flipped it into pride.
* Ethos: Anti-EDM, sweat-soaked, 6AM warehouse raves. No peaks—just relentless drive.
