Apophenia is a high-BPM psychedelic trance EP where classical piano influences collide with mind-bending sound design. Inspired by Debussy’s impressionism and Chopin’s emotional depth, each track transforms romantic harmonies into fast-paced, hypnotic chaos.

The title refers to apophenia — the human tendency to perceive patterns and meaning in randomness. This EP explores that phenomenon sonically: weaving fractured melodies, complex textures, and driving rhythms that lure the listener into finding form within the noise.

PicharknesS is born from dissociation.
From the impulse to translate that which cannot be put into words.
The discomfort, the emptiness, the introspection.
Driven by experimental, darkpsy and psycore, the sound does not follow lines, it cuts.

The proposal is simple: disconnect from the surface and dive inside yourself.
May the body be there, but the mind go far.
No promises of comfort, only surrender to the unknown that exists within each one of us.

PicharknesS nasce da dissociação.
Do impulso de traduzir aquilo que não cabe em palavras.
o incômodo, o vazio, a introspecção.
Movido pelo experimental, darkpsy e psycore, o som não segue linhas, ele corta.

A proposta é simples: se desconectar da superfície e mergulhar dentro de si.
Que o corpo esteja ali, mas a mente vá longe.
Sem promessas de conforto, só a entrega ao desconhecido que existe dentro de cada um.

Kipod Crew is a group of freaks from Israel. After growing up together and opening their minds to Doctor Hoffman’s formula, they discovered the psychedelic magic of trance gatherings in the mid-’90s.
At the beginning of 2008, they came up with the idea of producing their own events under the name “Kipod Crew” (kipod means hedgehog in Hebrew). After producing two successful parties in the north of India (Parvati Valley), they decided to start their adventure in the Holy Land.

In the last decade, Kipod’s events have shifted towards Darkpsy, Forest, Hi-Tech, and Psycore music, moving away from traditional psytrance. This change reflects the realization that true psychedelia lies in these genres.
Always looking forward to shaking the Israeli forests and spreading the message of what we believe to be high-quality mind-expansion sounds and rhythms, we continue to support and foster local artists.
Problem children are always here!
