Writing "banging mix", JUST as I press play. ... Because there is ZERO doubt, it will be ;)

In the last 10 years, it has usually been the case that if we were invited to a psytrance party, we got the opportunity to finish the party. We really like to play beautiful music at the end of a good party.

We felt really honoured to be asked to play the last closing set of the SUN Festival Main Stage in 2022.

So just turn up the volume and put that smile back on your face. Enjoy your trip through the different contemporary cutting-edge progressive soundscapes.

An interview with the artist...

PROTON: Your new album “In the Ether” represents an amazing body of work, James, you must be extremely proud of the achievement. How long did it take you to put it together?

JAMES MONRO: ​Thanks! Yes, I am proud and am delighted it's finally at a "finished " stage! It's been a long time in the making, in fact one could say a life-time!​ ​What started off as a collection of unreleased tracks that I sent to Jason for an EP turned into, what I hope, is an album that tells a story and takes the listener on a varied, deep and heartfelt journey.

Most of the album was written or re-tweaked in the last couple of years, once I established that ​I was going to put my name to a long player. But a few of the tracks go back up to 10 years!

PROTON:  How did the album become “In the Ether”? Were there any other names you considered?

JAMES MONRO: ​In the Ether came into being when I had finally finished the album. It's been a monumental journey, and my wife has obviously been fully immersed in it all too, and has seen and heard the journey thus far. A lot of time, emotion and music has come and gone with this project, so, once it was finished, I just said in passing -"...babe, it's finally going into the ether... let's see what happens!" She said what a great name for it, and I was inclined to agree. I had been thinking of calling it "Encantada" as that's the name of where we live in Brasil, and where 90% of the music was written, in my little tree top studio, but I just felt that In the Ether was more apt.

PROTON: It must be really difficult gathering that many tracks together, were there any mishaps or problems en route to putting the album together?

JAMES: ​Haha, well yes, there was a minor hiccup in that I carried my computer and back-up from my home in the UK to my home in ​Brasil, with a gig in between. I know how foolish that was, but I reckoned that a week on the road wasn't gonna be a problem. What could possibly go wrong in a week?  Well, shit does happen and when you least expect it. Accident in Paradise...It was 2 am, we'd driven down the beach in what was a fairly euphoric state after an epic party, and jumped on a little speed boat that was going to take us to our next stop...a paradisical guest house on a peninsula where we were going to have a well earned bit of down time. 3 km's out into the bay, the boat sank. 10 of us in it, all our luggage, and yep, heaven turned to hell in the blink of an eye. Anyway, most importantly, we all survived. Luck was on our side, the tide was going out and we were near a sand bank. We were rescued several hours later by a fishing boat. Unfortunately, though, salt water and technology don't really mix, and 10 years of programming, music collection etc etc all went down the swanny. I managed to scramble back some tracks from people I had given them to previously, and a couple of those are on the album. 

PROTON: I understand that even though you were born in the UK, you’re now based in Brazil? Did your adopted home influence the way you worked on the album and the sounds you created?

JAMES: ​Brasil has been such an adventure for me, filled with extreme journeys of all kinds, and it's become home, and I love it there. It's a place that every time I turn on the computer, something good comes out. The creative juices flow there like nowhere else for me. It instills a raw, wild, yet natural and calm sense of being that inspires and influences everything I do there.

James Monro - In the Ether (Album Mix) [Proton Music]

Please enjoy our DJ mixes featuring various artists in various styles and the show cases of our own music (also in various styles). OOOD (aka Out Of Our Depth) will be a familiar name to both those with long memories, and to relative newcomers to Psychedelic trance ( and many other genres). Formed in the UK in 1994 and with 4 members since 2001 (Colin, Steve, Rama, Ryokan), they've been around for as long as there's been psytrance and have worked with many of the names and labels from the scene's long history, as well as producing some of Goa Trance's classic tracks on labels like Flying Rhino, Phantasm and Matsuri. A few quiet years in the early 2000s saw them retreat to the Stooodio after their first two albums were caught up in the bankruptcy of two different distributors but they never gave up, and their eclectic third album 'Free Range' (Organic, 2006) was regarded by many reviewers as one of the very best psytrance releases that year. Two years later they released 'Fourthought' (Phar Psyde, 2008), an 80-minute psychedelic journey through downtempo, breaks, electro, blues and a varied selection of psytrance; again the album attracted '11/10 A+' reviews and saw them consolidate their place as one of the few acts from the birth of the scene who are still actively contributing. Recent releases have seen them reach high positions in various download charts, with their Oddball EP (Broken Robot, 2010) reaching #1 on Trackitdown and #13 on Beatport. Their fifth album 'You Think You Are' was released on Vertigo Records in late 2012.

As well as the originality, sense of fun and excellent production they bring to their releases, OOOD have been praised for their live sets since their London debut in 1995. Now, with four people in the band they are unique for the way they use live instruments (guitar, drums, keyboards, percussion) as an integral part of their live set, and have gained a reputation for both the power and quality of their live sound, and the vibrancy of their performances. Events such as Boom (Portugal), Universo Paralello (Brazil), Fusion (Germany), Glade (UK) and Vortex (South Africa), and many others in Japan, Russia and across Europe and elsewhere are seeing how OOOD and their side-projects create a unique energy and connection with the audience. OOOD shroom live is different every time but these guys know what they're doing and they put on a hell of a show.

OOOD have been surfing the wave of their creativity for over 23 years now and have been described as having "matured and improved with time, in the manner of a fine wine" (Axis Mundi). Their mission has always been to have a good time, spread a little joy and write the best tunes they can; if you've heard them or seen them recently you'll know just how well they are succeeding.

Bookings etc.
