Our next guest in the Aphid Records Monthly Series is none other than the Moon of Aphid Records, UK psytrance producer, DJ and label manager, Jules Hamer. About the Aphid adventure so far, the explorations lying ahead, and the distinctly British psychedelic twist topped with a prog-psychedelic-peaked exclusive mix right after the interview. Tune in this Friday, 27 December, 2013 at 8pm CET. Reruns: 28 Dec Saturday 2pm, 29 Dec Sunday 8am, 30 Dec Monday 2am.
Aphid Moon is the solo project of UK Psy-Trance producer Jules Hamer started in the mid nineties with early releases coming out on Interstella Records as well as Dream Creation’s ‘Sound of Freedom’ compilation in 1997 and 1998 respectively. He cut his teeth promoting a small psychedelic night during the heady days of the first wave of Psychedelic trance in the UK, Djing and performing live in various London squats, clubs and outdoor parties. Absorbing various Stimuli along the way. In 2001 he had a breakthrough track with ‘A lot of Radio’ on Flying Rhino Records with things really taking off from that point. Since then releasing on virtually all the major British psy-trance labels (Tip, Twisted, Dragonfly, Alchemy, Atomic and Nano Records) as well a variety of exotic international labels. He has released three solo albums and one collaborative album to date: 'High Diver' released on Dragonfly Records in 2003 a deep night time sound, 'Global Culture' in 2005 a more new full-on incarnation on Nano Records and as the AMD project 'Big Fish' a collaboration with producer Dick Trevor which became an instant trance classic also on Nano Records. Various experimental collaborations swiftly followed with the likes of Tristan, Laughing Buddha, Ans and Lucas. Such as 'We Are your Friends' and the Queens Park Derangers’ excellent ‘Create a Hippy’ released on TIP in 2006. In 2010 his third solo album 'Super Collider' came out on his own label 'Aphid Records' sealing his reputation as a cutting edge producer with an original and evolving deep and sometimes moody yet unmistakably British psychedelic sound. He has been rocking out digital EP's ever since. This November marking the eleventh EP release on Aphid Records. His unique style has bought him considerable international recognition. With regular party and festival bookings throughout the globe in India, Thailand, Japan, Israel, S.A., Brazil, South and Central America, U.S.A., Australia, Russia, Europe and the U.K. This year he has been busy as ever in the studio. With a healthy release schedule: 'Monolith' on the Matreia Festival compilation, 'Trapezium' on Kundalini Records’ 'Manana's Bananas' and a full-on night time four track EP with plenty of attitude and surprises "Outpost" with heavy weight psy-trance dj/producer Paul Taylor on Aphid Records. Hurtling down the psychedelic vortex comes the next Aphid Records ‘Middle Kingdom EP’ out in November on Aphid Records featuring collaborations with Atoned Splendor and Nirmal. Plus hot off the press soon to be released Aphid Moon – 'Cosmic Order' on Tristan’s new UK Trance comp on Nano Records.

PROTONICA - HORIZON EP
From the clouds of darkness bursts of colours start to appear: purple, orange and some pink. These rays of light tickle your eyes and open a new view, a new Horizon. It is only then that you start to hear the beat, those pounding sounds that make your heart race. Now you know, it is time to follow the beat.

Guiding your way to the Horizon are Protonica, aka Piet Kaempfer and Ralf Dietze from Berlin, Germany. After two successful albums – Search (2007) and Form Follows Function (2012), Protonica have been placed high in the psychedelic galaxy. In this journey they take you once more to an unknown Horizon, although the destination is unknown, pleasure is guaranteed.

The dark mist has faded away with the waves of multiple colours that were sent from the Horizon. It is bright and shiny just like Greece and brings with it the same sense of mythology and magical surrounding that are known to be associated with Atmos, aka Tomasz Balicki.

Protonica - Horizon

GMS Mix 2014

This is a special release from Faders & Melicia.  Faders released an outstanding debut on Tip earlier in 2014 and has been one of the years biggest releases.  It was a collab with Audiotec and featured to killer tracks, "Artificial Minds" & "Psychedelic Tool".

Here this is an extremely well crafted, modern Psy Trance  track but with an extra charisma from the lovely Eastern vocal by Melicia.

With more Faders on Tip soon we are happy to release this track in advance.  A release  of unique quality and beauty...

Stalking The Wild Controller - ManMadeMan & Tristan

Chill Out planet  it's is not just a festival,  it is a brand that stands behind  the whole generation of talented artists, designers, musicians, DJs. It  symbolizes the whole Era of the underground scene in Russia! Chill Out Planet has conquered  the world with  unique designs, which  became an essential  attribute of  the most  psychedelic parties! For 20 years Chill Out Planet participates in various events around the world! During this time we have acquired  a powerful experience and formed the original taste of  music that we want to share with you! 
Chill Out Planet Festival - is  an  annual  event, which  unites people who appreciate high-quality intellectual music, combined with advanced special effects and modern art!
 Since the festival has such a wide  choice  of  music and  covers a lot of styles, we tried to combine tracks into a story, and create one day, spent  on the festival. First you listen to  magnetizing deep dub  tune from MASTER and MARGHERITA, inviting you into a beautiful journey, then you find yourself on the concert of GOATIKA crew, listening to incredible rhythms, immersed in a kind of trance, after  sunset starts the most mysterious time of day,  the twilight   and now  you  listen to  hypnotizing forest  sounds from GIDO, KALA, when evening smoothly flows into the night  you’d be taken away by  energetic,  twisted, psychedelic masters WHIPTONGUE, AXIAL TILT, PHOBOS AZAZEL  and finally   while the sun is rising  SAMADHI will make you dance  like just   in  GOA, but  when the sun  is already in the sky  and   the day is  back  you don’t want to miss   funky  set of  LOOPUS  IN  FABULA. Special place  has been given to EAT STATIC,  which  is  closing  the compilation  and  bringing you back  from  Chill Out planet back to Earth!
We open our Parade of planets with "Planet.1" compilation and highly recommend to fasten your  seat belts, as our spaceship  is  flying into outer space! 
P.S. Recommened for listening in the car on the way back from the festival.

Goatika - Crazy Tuesday

From the sleeve notes from the Psychedelica Melodica album:

8. Spanish Gypsy

Until quite recently I lived the Sierra Guadarrama mountains in Spain for several years where I was exposed to a lot of excellent Flamenco music, which is the music of the Gypsies or Romani. 

Being a guitarist myself I couldn't help but get sucked into figuring out how to play this style on guitar. While I was learning, I was struck by the similarity between Flamenco and North African and Indian music and when I analysed it, I found that they share certain musical scales. (interestingly the Romani were originally a nomadic tribe from northen India that travelled to Europe in the12th century) 

Another musical conjunction was the similarity (to me) between the harmony and rhythm of the opening bars of that quintessentially Spanish dance the Pasa Doble and a lot of Trance built on a gallop rhythm. 

So the original inspirational spark began with the possibility of combining all these musical threads into one piece of music. So, I started by creating the melody on a Flamenco scale, over the rhythm of the Pasa Doble with it's semi-tone harmonic movement and mixed that with certain elements of the older Indian influenced Goa-trance sound, but built it all on a foundation of the big kick and bass from the more modern Psytrance sound. 

Later I dusted off the (steel strung) acoustic and recorded some melodic guitar parts using some newly learned Flamenco licks to emphasis the Gitano flavour. 

The track you hear is the result of this weird musical synthesis of Goa, Psy trance, Flamenco and the Pasa Doble.

From the sleeve notes of the Psychedelica Melodica album:

4. Dance of The Cosmic Serpent

The title is inspired by anthropologist Jeremy Narby's book " The Cosmic Serpent" in which he suggests among other things that the global network of DNA based life is actually a conscious entity and furthermore that the human mind can enter into communication with this DNA consciousness via trance states, enthogenic experiences etc. and by doing so receive detailed and specific information and wisdom.  (think shamen for example)

The dance of the cosmic serpent in the title refers to the total manifestation of this underlying consciousness via the massive variety of lifeforms on planet Earth including us - human beings.  The total of all lifeforms is the dance, the manifestation of it.

This idea along with an already existing notion of mine to create a track purely based around a strong central melody were combined for this track. I derived the melody from an Arabic sounding scale because to me it sounds kind of wiggley and serpentine and often seems to suggest snake charmer music.

Given that I wanted the tune to be the centre piece I approached the composition in a different manner.  Rather than starting out with the kick and bassline as I often do, instead I sat down with a guitar, decided on the implied harmonic movement ( G major, G# major, F minor) and made sure that I had definitively composed the entire tune before booting up the sequencer. Once I had the melody fixed, I built the track up around it.

As two of the original psychedelic trance pioneers, their extensive discography includes releases on prominent labels such as Nano Records, TIP, Flying Rhino, Phantasm, Matsuri, Transient, Flow, RTTS, amongst many others. In their words, the sound of ManMadeMan is described as “ a totally original style, a bit hard to define, but who cares - it’s positive, funky, psychedelic and musical all at the same time. It has a knack of totally igniting a dance floor while never retracing old steps and yet manages to always sound like ManMadeMan.”
