Bio

Scorching Dose is the creative outlet of Alper Ertem’s dark inner world, born from the shadowy corners of France’s underground scene and the raw, untamed energy of teknival free parties.
Quickly recognized by WooDog Recordings, Scorching Dose delivers a distinct blend of dark forest psytrance, merging eerie natural atmospheres with dissonant textures and hypnotic grooves inspired by underground tekno. His debut album, released under the label, climbed to #6 on Beatport’s global psytrance chart, marking a rare milestone for the forest subgenre.
In September 2025, Scorching Dose joined close friends to form the Grim Biome Collective—a gathering of artists devoted to shaping a darker, deeper, and faster forest sound. The collective seeks to introduce the psytrance community to the essence of Hi-Forest, merging shamanic ritualism with unrelenting rhythm and cinematic depth.
This set features exclusive tracks from Scorching Dose’s upcoming Grim Tales album (to be released under Patronus Records) alongside unreleased material from Grim Biome Collective artists and previews from their forthcoming compilation album, scheduled for next
year. Flowing between 153–162 BPM, it traverses dense atmospheres, dark tension, and hypnotic ritual grooves.

Patronus Records proudly presents you: Grim Tales by Scorching Dose.

Exciting news! We want to give you the latest creation by a new member of the family: Alper Ertem aka Scorching Dose. Straight from the french underground with deep forest psychedelia. Very proud to have this incredibly talented artist be part of the movement. There's a few incredibly powerful tracks coming your way so please enjoy!

"Kam has returned. With the drum in his hands, he gathers the forest inhabitants around the fire and begins to speak — a chain of unsettling encounters, whispered from the deepest corners of the night. They say the darkest moment in the night is when colors reveal their true worth. In Grim Tales, the dance of saturated hues and shadows shakes the sleeping forest awake. Grim Tales is a manuscript where every story has teeth and every silence breathes. Scorching Dose delivers another dive into nocturnal psychedelia — raw, vibrant, and built for the edge of night. The tales are grim, but the colors are alive."

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.
