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.

"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."
