10 years ago we heard offshoots of music that could be described as alternative, deep and the more darker side of progressive psytrance. 
A decade later it spawned an entirely new sub genre known as dark progressive, captivating a generation of passionate, ardent listeners and bringing in new producers day by day to the scene with its infectious blend of sound design, catchy moderate tempos and deep psychedelia. 

Occulta Records today firmly stands as a pioneering label today to have promoted this entire movement with various shades of dark progressive with a synonynous sound and an arsenal of incredible producers ranging from South America to Australia spanning across all continents. 
This compilation is a culmination of the labels past, present and future that would propel the listener to new dimensions whilst keeping the classic dark prog essence!

Colouring outside the lines of dark tech

STiX is a Canadian dark electronic music producer and DJ who expresses herself through a hypnotic fusion of psytrance, psytech, techno, house, and bass music. Rooted in psychedelia, her sound thrives on contrast, movement, and storytelling—drawing listeners into a world where the unexpected takes center stage.

With carefully curated selections and an instinct for seamless progression, STiX weaves sets that range from sexy to grungy, floaty to filthy, slow to fast—always prioritizing her 𝘧𝘭𝘰𝘸 over any genre constraints. Her artistry lies in the freedom to explore, twisting and morphing styles into something entirely her own while maintaining an unmistakable dark and psychedelic edge.

Driven by high energy and an immersive vision, STiX delivers an experience rather than just a performance. Each set is an unpredictable ride, where emotions are toyed with, rhythms shift without warning, and the dancefloor is left entranced. Expect the unexpected. And remember when shit gets really dark.... there is no saviour, only surrender. 🏴‍☠️
