🔥 OUT NOW : Mavzy - Keleo Nova Ep 🔥

https://bit.ly/3LNzHNY

Keleo Nova from roots to twilight grooves.
This second EP is a journey through the lands that shaped my sound ,from the soul of New Caledonia, to the wild spirit of New Zealand, to the endless horizons of Australia, where this story continues.

it’s a memory, an experience, a moment , a trip..I truly lived along the way.
Every groove carries a piece of that path: the people I met, the places that moved me, and the energy that connected it all.

It’s groovy, organic.. blending the raw pulse of nature with the rhythm of the dancefloor.
A reflection of movement, connection, and the space between night and light.
Welcome to the next chapter of my journey.

Let the groove speak. ✨

Welcome to the next chapter of ELEMENTS, the PsynOpticz podcast series where we journey deep into the frequencies that define our psychedelic realm. 🌌

For this episode, we unleash the shadowy force of Scorching Dose — a dark forest master from France whose sound rises from the pulse of underground teknivals and the depths of the European forest scene. This exclusive set is loaded with unreleased tracks from Scorching Dose himself and the Grim Biome Collective, offering a glimpse into their upcoming compilation dropping next year.

Moving fluidly between 148–154 BPM, this set is a ritual in sound — hypnotic, cinematic, and driven by relentless forest rhythms that pull you straight into the void. 🌲🌀

🎧 About Scorching Dose
Scorching Dose is the sonic embodiment of Alper Ertem’s darker creative vision—emerging from the underground energy of France’s teknival culture. His music fuses haunting natural ambiences, dissonant textures, and tekno-infused grooves into a hypnotic experience that bridges the primal and the futuristic.

In 2025, he co-founded the Grim Biome Collective, a movement pushing forest psytrance into deeper and darker territories — a sound born of shamanic ritualism, cinematic depth, and raw drive.

HYPERDRINE | Hadra Trance Festival 2025

[en] “Play My Birthday” is my birthday party in musical form.
I invited artists who have been part of my journey in psytrance to create tracks that would be my gifts: each one carries a piece of history, affection, and shared trajectory.

This V.A. is an affectionate record, an encounter of worlds that have crossed paths in my sound and in my personal life. There are people who have been with me since the beginning and artists who came later to expand, add to, and open new eras alongside me. If my birthday party were music, this would be the sound of "Happy Birthday," and that was the intention of the album: to unite the beginning, the middle, and today in a single story.

“Play My Birthday” doesn't just celebrate my birthday. It marks a turning point, a rebirth, a new phase of my project and my life. And, like any good surprise party, this V.A. arrives with that feeling of:
“nobody was expecting this… and that's what makes it so enjoyable.”
-
[pt-br] “Play My Birthday” é a minha festa de aniversário em forma de música.
Convidei artistas que fazem parte da minha caminhada no psytrance para criarem faixas que seriam os meus presentes: cada uma carrega um pedaço de história, afeto e trajetória compartilhada.

Esse V.A é um registro afetivo, um encontro de mundos que se cruzaram no meu som e na minha vida pessoal. Tem gente que está comigo desde o começo e artistas que chegaram depois para expandir, somar e abrir novas eras ao meu lado. Se a minha festa de aniversário fosse música, este seria o som do parabéns, e essa foi a intenção do álbum: unir o começo, o meio e o hoje em uma história só.

“Play My Birthday” não celebra só meu aniversário. Marca uma virada, um renascimento, uma nova fase do meu projeto e da minha vida. E, como toda boa festa surpresa, esse V.A chega com aquele sentimento de:
“ninguém estava esperando por isso… e é isso que o torna tão gostoso.”

Creator of world quality events and purveyor of universal quality music, PsynOpticz is a forced to be reckoned with. A haven for the like minded and a hub of creativity, it has embraced all aspects of psy-culture. PsynOpticz has it's roots deep in mother Africa but has found it's home in hearts and dancefloors worldwide. 

The concept of PsynOpticz was seeded in the thriving Cape Town indoor scene in 2006, where it flourished, providing the CT masses with cream of the crop local and international talent on a weekly basis. These events quickly gained an ardent following and were renowned for their stellar lineups, immersive psychedelic decor and energising vibe! 

With this experience and ever growing support, it became inevitable that PsynOpticz branch out into the outdoors, providing South Africa with it's staple annual event, Jungala Festival.

It has its own special flavour and design, with the goal to create an all encompassing experience that removes you from the mundane and transports you to an interactive psychedelic wonderland, a completely synergistic and harmonious journey from beginning to end. These festival hosts fresh talent as well as headliners, both homegrown and from around the globe, establishing the network that would eventually culminate in the evolution of PsynOpticz from event organiser to a record label.

The mastermind behind PsynOpticz, Calvin aka SwiTcHcaChe, has developed a keen ear for prospective acts, being both organiser as well a DJ. By committing to bringing out new and exciting acts to Cape Town, he uncovered many artists that share his love for non-generic and energetic psychedelic music, and his desire grew to expose this incredible music to the unsuspecting psy masses. Currently, the PsynOpticz stable is represented by artists from around the globe, each bringing their own unique approach and sound to the psychedelic world stage.

The driving force behind PsynOpticz is their ignitable passion and deep love of the culture and music. The label grows from strength to strength daily, fueled by the positive response and endless smiles experienced on a PsynOpticz dance-floor, or anywhere the music is played and enjoyed.
