Mindspring Music is proud to present Exodus, the latest showcase of psychedelic mid-tempo tunes from Alterra Project. This stunningly pristine 4-track journey is the collaborative effort of three talented producers from England who have their hands in multiple artistic ventures outside of Alterra Project: Dane Andruszko (Okari), Charlie Bartlett (False Identity, Xylem), and Rory Gordziejko (Kwah, Tea Tree). No strangers to the Mindspring imprint, the Exodus EP marks the third release from the trio, following 2017's Turing Test and their sophomore release Holomorphic in 2020. 

A unique and provocative journey, Exodus is an auditory portal into an inverted reality where nothing is quite what it seems, surprises abound, and anything but the expected is to be expected. The funky, squelchy basslines and groovy driving beats provide solid ground to stand on while you safely let your mind navigate the archive of complex and otherworldly soundscapes. As you settle in,  you will be rewarded with tantalizing melodies and mechanical rhythms and futuristic construction. Psychedelic ear candy for all of your imagination.

The guys have woven together a unique, mind-twisting release that is sure to get your toes tapping and head nodding. Enjoy the journey and we will see you on the other side.

Alterra Project - Portal [Mindspring Music]

This EP is a musical expression of the recent phase on our spiritual path. Shaktopaya (or Śāktopāya) is the middle stage on the way to eliberation, when the aspirant uses his mind and the energies (Shakti) to reach enlightenment. These compositions tell a story of a specific transcendental experience written intuitively into these notes. Unique arrangements try to describe the whole process of a journey: Starting from a meditative state getting slowly into Samadhi, then building up with immense intensity, reaching the peak of the bliss and coming down as a wondrous catharsis.

From the musical aspect it’s a special release for this young couple (Tomin & Emerencia) as this is the first EP ever of their project called Alpha Hypnotica. Intricate ideas and melodies here have been produced mostly with analog synths and acoustic instruments such as koshi or rainstick. Combining these with own-recorded sounds from nature and orchestral elements this unique deep and mystic atmosphere is created, which pervades all the recordings. Comprehensive textures and dynamic vertical energies indicate that understanding of the Universal Consciousness with the mind is nearly impossible.

Track included in Tribal Bass III - Into the flow V.A.

Tribal Bass is an umbrella term for all music with a downtempo feel and a breaking groove, that combines progressive sound design with organic elements and deep sub-bass. PsyDub, GlitchHop, post dubstep, deep-step, global beats, ethnic trap, world bass, neuro-funk, raga-bass, hard-wave, farmer-trap, ... you name it, if it slaps and it represents the globalized music community it can be part of our co-creation.

For Mabon (the "end of summer" celebration) we'd like to surrender to the water and the West, the cooling down and finding direction, the becoming soft and starting a journey within again, reaching for the stillness and cool down of winter times. "Into The Flow" is a representation of accepting the cycles and flow of life, and understanding the flow of sound, our bodies and nature.

We want to thank everyone for being a part of this and we would already like to welcome you all to the Tribal Bass Bash in Belgium, summer 2023, date and location TBC.

Young Nudy "Paid" Type Beat

You’re at a party in a museum after hours. A sweet and cheeky hostess welcomes you at the entrance, and leads you through the gallery. You explore the venue and squeeze past the crowd of people. On the first floor you see Kandinsky with Alzheimer’s: his synesthesia is so powerful that he plays music the way he paints. Salvador Dali is also there, very tipsy on the piano nearby. In the next room you find a salsa party filled with cartoon heroes from some freaky alien world. You keep on exploring and find a stage, the band is playing something familiar and you can finally dance. There is a chill area in the courtyard where you can lay down and enjoy the infinite sky and floating clouds as you look up towards the Alexander Calder mobiles hanging above. At every party there is always that one guy who puts on the death metal to catch the crowd off guard, but it somehow fits into the obscurity. You take a deep breath and keep exploring, finding a hidden dance floor. It is once again, very familiar; a collection of all the pearls from the previous scenes. Dali and Kandinsky are bartending now, and death metal guy is warming up the drum kit. Members from a Latin American band join him for a very nice and sophisticated closure – unity of floors. This is the Lurve Connection: where the love for music and art brings the world together.

I Forgot To Tell You Something

Dub all-stars YOUTH & GAUDI follow through from last year’s phenomenal ‘Astronaut Alchemist’ release with a double album of remixes from their favourite artists on the psychedelic dub scene and arguably some of the most esteemed producers in electronic music.

Banco de Gaia : The Orb : Kaya Project : Bombay Dub Orchestra : Gabriel Le Mar : Pitch Black : BUS/Gus Till Kuba : Deep Fried Dub : Vlastur : The Egg : Jef Stott/Aslan Dub : Onium : Living Light : Sadhu Sensi 
DM-Theory and Uncle Fester On Acid

Pitch Black delivered a deep analogue bass thumpa of a remix of the ‘The Gods Must Be Crazy’ as the albums first single and is still being met with great regard! So much so that we decided to press a limited edition 12" coloured vinyl which will contain The Orb remix on the flipside this autumn! 

The entire release is a veritable smorgasbord of 17 beautifully rich dub laden rhythms spanning across multiple genres including dubtechno, ambient, dubwise, electro-house, downtempo, reggae and techno.

Sadly due to the Coronavirus situation many of the music festivals over the coming months have been cancelled or postponed, but you can still enjoy these dust kicking dance floor groovers in your living room, back garden or in your favourite spot with headphones on! 

Where ever you enjoy it just be sure to play it LOUD as this is no doubt our finest example of what we consider...
