AOUGHT, the drum & bass alter-ego of psytrance producer Kri Samadhi, here presents his collection of scenes of cyberpunk dystopia. “Soulphane” is a lurking, mournful mass of sludgy bass, mournful atmospheres, and shifting rhythms. “Break the frame” picks up with sinister minimal beats and a snarling bassline that support ice-cold pads. The title track, “Crumbs” introduces cinematic vocal and string ambience and a low end that marches endlessly forward, whereas “Saiko” detours into glitched-out paranoia and distorted 808 bass. “Files” evokes the deadly hacker drama of 1990s cyberpunk fiction, with clashing beats and spacy old-school leads. “The Great Dying” may be the album’s darkest track, with bleak droning atmospheres, lo-fi drums, and an absolutely hostile bassline. “Bad Boy” is a tribute to darkside jungle, produced on a vintage Akai S3000XL sampler to produce authentically mashed-up Amen breaks and classic pads. Finally, the album closes with Herbivore’s blistering remix of “Soulphane,” which transports the original into a murky underwater dancehall.

AOUGHT - Crumbs

Rejoice, for Rosti has returned to TOUCH Samadhi with seven journeys through the mind’s eye that defy genre expectations and bridge the past with the future.
“Joseph on the Air” starts with a mysterious cinematic atmosphere, choppy vocals, and breakbeats (!) before flipping itself over a bouncing oompah bass that leads to a textured but deep finale full of anticipation, setting the course for our listening experience. “Paradigm shift” ridse a high-intensity bassline through a shifting maze of mirrors, and “Random Trigger” follows with highly tactile atmospheres, both evoking early 2000s-era Twisted Records psytrance and its balance of creative exploration with dancefloor power. “Rubber Band Stars” changes direction with throaty MS20 riffs and Goa Trance vibes, a story continued with the hyperdrive bop of “Space Lullaby.” The penultimate track, “The Abyss,” is an anxious dive among cyborg leviathans that might be the album’s most intense experience. In classic style, however, the album ends with a downtempo experience - this one driven by a slow breakbeat and an enormous sense of space populated by disembodied voices.

Simultaneously a classic Goa album and a forward-thinking defiance of trance-as-usual, “Random Trigger” demonstrates a range and versatility that deserves to be appreciated both in comfortable at-home listening and on chest-rattling soundsystems.

“Chaotic Influx” welcomes back TOUCH Samadhi’s old friend and frequent collaborator Primordial Ooze, now delivering three slices of chunky, organic psychedelia for the nighttime dancefloor. “Dripping Springs” leads with tendrils of liquid sound that invite the listener in to an ever-deepening tunnel surrounded by throaty squawks, bleats, and clanging echoes; the title track picks up the pace with a driving beat and cascading atmospherics that seem both metallic and earthy at the same time. The closer, “Almost Inert,” storms the dancefloor with an energetic bassline, zippery riffs, and percussive shouts for a high-speed race into darkness.”

CURRENT OF SOLIDARITY
by T.O.U.C.H. Samadhi


At the tail end of September, 2024, Hurricane Helene devastated the Southeast United States, wreaking immeasurable loss and devastation in Western North Carolina. Not a single person in our community was untouched by this disaster; through death, loss of housing, innumerable damages, loss of power, water, food accessibility, cellular network, employment, and more. The effects of the crisis remain ongoing, and the landscape of the Blue Ridge Mountains has been changed forever. 

• • • In response, psytrance friends from across the world have come together to donate their talents to this special compilation VA album presented by TOUCH Samadhi. These exceptional artists each have heartfelt ties to the lower Appalachian region and have lovingly offered their time and skill to help in the efforts to rebuild. 

••• All profits from this release will be donated to BeLoved Asheville, one of the largest grassroots nonprofits in the area who were among the first to mobilize a response providing crucial food, water, and supplies in staggering numbers to the Buncombe County region and surrounding relief efforts.

Discography

Kri Samadhi - Quantum Awakening Festival 2 - May 24 2025

“Tek,” the second release from Aought (known to the psychedelic trance world as Kri Samadhi), transports you back in time to 1992. But not our timeline’s 1992 - a darker, more apocalyptic 1992, in which ravers invented halftime and techstep sounds early to cope with societal collapse and constant surveillance. Drawing from that year’s breakbeat hardcore and nascent sampler-based jungle, Aought invokes “Hardcore Junglism” by Manix, “Suicide”  by Hannibal Lecter, and tracks by Neuromancer, Fresh Trax, and Nick Power & DJ KU. “The Rush” is a clear ode to darkside rave music, getting as close as Aought gets to an outright dancefloor heater; “Tek Nek” is a hard-driving slice of anxious dancefloor energy, where snarling rave hoovers twist amid dark ambience and skittering beats. Opening tune “Borg” uses dry & clicky percussive sounds to contrast with the toxic sludge of its bass sounds. The “Tek” EP embraces paranoia and reinvents 1992 in a way you’ve never heard.

2020 didn’t turn out how we expected. We had hoped for a year of dancing together in community; instead, we got a year of isolation and loss. 
 
But the spark of creativity burns brightly even in dark times, and so we reached out to producers in the TOUCH Samadhi family to donate music that would connect us across the distance. We received a broad spectrum of sounds that we hope will comfort those in seclusion at home as well as they work on sound systems when we come together to dance again. 
 
We are also aware of the social turmoil that has taken place this year, and we stand on the side of justice. Therefore, all proceeds from this album will be donated to Emancipate North Carolina, a project of the Carolina Justice Policy Center dedicated to combating mass incarceration and structural racism.

Annum Dilapsum

Annum Dilapsum *Preview

Samadhi is said to be a fourth kind of consciousness:
 
  It is beyond the states of waking, dreaming and dreamless sleep. Those who have witnessed it as an external phenomenon report that the experience appeared to have fallen into a kind of trance. The hair on the head and body stood erect. The half-closed eyes became fixed. Sometimes there was an astonishing loss of weight, or even levitation of the body from the ground. But these are mere symptoms, and tell us nothing. There is only one way to find out what samadhi is like:
 
                                                                                                  You must have it yourself…
