Matsuri Digital is delighted to announce a release that is sure to thrill psychedelic dance music lovers: the first release of a new track by Prana in the 21st century - Sense of Unity.

To celebrate the approaching 30th anniversary of the legendary project Prana, the three musicians who were part of the group in its two original incarnations - Tsuyoshi Suzuki, Nick Taylor, and Andy Guthrie - have joined forces to create a series of releases, the first of which is this amazing new single.

The first track to be released that features all three members of the group working together - something that never happened even in the 90s - Sense of Unity has all the classic hallmarks of vintage Prana while taking advantage of advances in production and composition. With catchy riffs, uplifting patterns, and lots of momentum, Sense of Unity is bound to become a classic like its predecessors ... and this is just a taste of what is yet to come for the band's 30th anniversary!

Sense of Unity is available on September 29 - be sure to get it and prepare to blast off!

Prana’s founding members Tsuyoshi Suzuki and Nick Taylor started their career in Tokyo in 1990 before moving to London to pursue their musical careers. Their first productions were as the project Blissed, together with Tsuyoshi’s school friend Takehiro Tokuda, before the duo went on to release music under the name Taiyo. Soon after their extended EP on Step2House in 1994, they began to produce their first tracks with the project name Prana on Inter 1 Records and Dragonfly Records the same year. With multiple singles issued on Tsuyoshi’s own label Matsuri Productions, Prana put out their debut album “Cyclone” in 1996, cementing the group’s position as one of the pioneering projects in the Goa Trance movement.

When Nick Taylor moved to Australia in 1995, Andy Guthrie, a member of Banco de Gaia and Medicine Drum, joined Prana. The band released their second album “Geomantik” in early 1997, which was a smash hit in Europe, Israel, and Japan. They stopped their activities for a while after Tsuyoshi moved back to Japan in 2000 , but all three members came together for the first time for a special live set at the Matsuri Digital Countdown Party on New Year’s Eve 2013. Since then, they have had several live appearances and their greatest hits have been remixed by major artists new and old, so core Goa Trance fans are as enamoured by the project as ever.

Tsuyoshi and Andy are back in the studio and making new tunes in 2021 and touring with live sets again. Stay tuned for more music and appearances!
