Amidst the rugged mountains and sweeping valleys of South Africa’s Western Cape, a unique tale unfolds. 

“Forgotten Fynbos” 


This Various Artist album compiled by ZDLCK started as a concept in early 2023, and has blossomed into an unstoppable force of nature.  

Here, the enchanting world of fynbos, a diverse floral kingdom, converges with organic rhythms. As the sun rises over the ancient land, delicate indigenous blooms sway to an unheard melody, their vibrant colors a visual symphony that harmonizes with the energy of the earth. In this wild expanse, a group of visionary artists find inspiration. They immerse themselves in the secret life of fynbos, capturing it's essence through textures that mimic the whisper of winds through shrubs and the dance of insects among the petals. Each track mirrors an integral part of the ever so intricate ecosystem, from the serene valleys to the high peaks. 

This album is a sensorial journey. A sonic translation of the fynbos spirit, inviting listeners to dance to the rhythm of nature's vibrations and join in celebrating South African indigenous flora. 

This release, like our incredible indigenous flora, is very special in more aspects than just the music. As most of us South Africans know, our mountains have been ravaged by fires in recent years. This takes a lot of resources and effort on the part of fire fighters to keep us safe and the fires contained. The funds raised from support for this VA will be donated directly to the Volunteer Wildfire Services to assist them in being able to combat any future fires.

Lysergic Babble - B. Oc  [148] (PREVIEW)

A Forest and Darkpsy DJ/Producer from a Galaxy so beyond infinity not even Buzz Lightyear could find it, crash landed in Cape Town, South Africa many moons ago and has been there ever since, infecting the humans with his otherworldly outdoor sounds. 

After traveling light through the cosmos, he found himself in the Milky-Way galaxy on the third rock from the sun, engaging in the psychedelic culture. The longer he spent with the psychonauts on the planet, the stronger his urge to bring Alien elements from home and combine them with the organic mass that is Earth grew.

Starting to mix Forest and Darkpsy in 2017, the extra-terrestrial project of Lysergic Babble began to feed a foresty frequency into the ears of the Earth humans.

Towards the end of 2018 he began playing around with Alien communication devices in order to spread messages across the cosmos with his own unique flavour and is quickly pushing to get the "Forest" sound behind his composition.

With the unpredictable basslines, twisted, organic sound effects and atmospheric whispers which his style holds, he is sure to keep you intrigued and leave psychedelic soundscapes oozing through your psyche.

Sit back, Relax and Tune In to the Deep Textures of the Lysergic Babble.

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.
