The Final Cactus V1 (no mixdown/master)

Label manager at State Alchemy Music
Live act: Compos Mentis 

Passionate psychedelic trance Producer and DJ hailing out of Cape Town, South Africa. A lover for all things weird, freaky and psychedelic. 
My two projects focus on my two different tastes for psychedelic music. Profound focuses on the groovier side of the spectrum with a full-on twist. The DJ project was created in 2016 where I started performing across the psy-circuit in Cape Town. In 2018 I received my first big festival booking at the well renown Alien Safari, shortly after I started receiving bookings for multiple different festivals across different cities in South Africa. In 2020 the project was booked for the largest Psychedelic festival in Africa - Origin Festival by Nano Records. The Profound project ranges anywhere from 144-148 and is versatile to cover various time slots at a festival.

Lysandros is my Live Project where I focus on a dark, organic sound that aspires to take the listener out of their mental and provides space for them to get lost in the music. This project draws major inspiration from the record label Sangoma Records as they capture that organic, tribal sound throughout their label. I first fell deep into psychedelic music when I discovered the label and I often found myself on a dancefloor just craving the intense atmosphere the Sangoma sound creates. This project will range anywhere from 150-156 and will focus on a dark atmospheric approach with eerie atmospheres waving through the forest coupled by interesting conversation between the leads.

Metasonic is the psychedelic DJ project of Sidney van Dyk. Originally from Cape Town, South Africa now living in Bangkok, Thailand.

Since first being exposed to psychedelic trance music and culture in 2009 he fell head over heals in love with both.

He believes that the psychedelic trance journey at it's roots is one of the most liberating and freeing experiences one can have. Be it progressive day-time to Full-on night time to Darkpsy etc, etc, etc and all the myriad of genres in between. The journey it takes you within your own consciousness and who you are after experiencing this journey of sound and self is what made him fall in love. 

Hence the name, Metasonic(meta - after / sonic - sound) is a tribute to that place in all of us that we reach after being taken on a psychedelic sound journey.

His vision for this project is to bring about journey sets to take the listener to that special place inside themselves.

S.A.M | State Alchemy Music

A Psychedelic Trance Record Label that was launched in 2023 through an undying love and passion for psychedelic music and culture. The State Alchemy Project was created by Alexandros with the intention to throw High Scale Psytrance events throughout Cape Town. After 4 years, the idea evolved and shaped, discussions were had between some integral members of the South African psytrance scene, thus leading to the creation of S.A.M.
