Get ready for an electrifying 3-hour back-to-back set on featuring two integral members of the South African Psychedelic scene, Profound and Killawatt. These two were once foes, battling it out over Facebook threads. Years passed and they realized, they may have more in common than they thought. Now after all the quarrels, these two have become like family and they joined forces and orchestrated the Easter Vortex dancefloor in the early AMs.

Profound and Killawatt are known for their unique blend of driving basslines, pulsing synths, and intricate percussion, and this set was no exception. From start to finish, they took the dancefloor on a journey through the darker corners of psychedelic music, with a sound that was both futuristic and nostalgic.

If you're a fan of challenging psychedelic music and the thrill of the dancefloor, this mix will be just right for you.

Profound, Killawatt | Easter Vortex 2023 | Darkpsy, Forest and Hi Tech

Next Up in the @StateAlchemyMusic "Patronus Records Series" we have " Garden Of Eden" , the psychedelic project created by Adam Findlay. Having grown up in the Midlands, Adam was exposed to music, Fine art, sound systems, and psychedelic culture from a young age. As a child, Adam pursued many musical endeavors such as classical Spanish guitar and jazz band but he found Ableton at 16 where he became intrigued by the simple act of Making noise and this was all made for a very long time   As an avid mountain climber, Adam spent his youth traveling through the forests of South Africa, climbing cliffs and telling campfire stories. As time passed, his diet of free-range, organic Beats and night skies led to the formation of the Garden of Eden! The project now strives to tell campfire stories through DJ sets mixing deep, grimy basslines and surreal sound scrapes complemented by organic and driving leads to form a blend of Forest Psychedelic. Adam has been on a long and ongoing journey to find his true sound in his production and DJ sets. This year Adam has had his first releases of some of his productions and has many more releases on upcoming VA” S. Adam has played at a number of events in Gauteng and KZN, including Connexxion, Abracadabra, Purple Haze, Ubuntu Universe, and Elysium.

Get ready to plunge into the darkness with Voidwalker's latest single, "You People," on State Alchemy Music. Inspired by the unsettling notion of once-familiar comforts morphing into harbingers of fear and anxiety, this darkpsy masterpiece takes listeners on a haunting journey through the shadows of the mind.

With pulsating beats and eerie atmospheric textures, "You People" delves into the murky recesses of the subconscious, where the line between safety and peril becomes blurred. Voidwalker skillfully weaves intricate layers of sound, evoking a sense of unease that creeps beneath the skin and lingers long after the music fades.
