Symbolic is the brainchild of top notch producer Ilan Shemi. Mid 2011 saw the project take shape under one and only rule: only the purest and best psychedelic progressive trance will make the cut. Symbolic’s unique production skills and unequaled talent for understanding the dancefloor, quickly made him a recognizable figure in the psychedelic scene throughout the world ever since the first taste, Crystal Clear, came out on a compilation by Ace Ventura on Iboga Records. A force to be reckoned with, Symbolic’s sound has become synonymous with heavy basslines that move the feet, crunchy grooves that move the hips, hypnotizing melodies that turn the brain on itself and make the body act on its own. Massive collaborations with top producing wizards such as Liquid Soul, Zen Mechanics, Ace Ventura have already emerged, and with tracks and skills that keep on evolving and moving, a certainty that the best is yet to come keeps on ringing true. What was great shall be greater.
