Heavy basslines, eerie nature sounds, and hypnotic rhythms guide you deeper

Space S dj set - Psylloween 2023 @ Dublin 21/10/2023

* Press "Show more" for tracklist *

This set was played during the early hours of Sunday at Enter Mushroom Festival, on September 7th 2025, in Co. Wicklow.
I had the mission of bringing the BPM down from forest psytrance to psy tech, which gave me the chance to play some tracks I don’t usually include in my sets.

*The set was recorded live

Play it loud!
I hope you enjoy 🙂

PLAN-C – Progressive House Mix 2025 [Deep & Hypnotic Journey]

🌀 The rhythm erased my name… and I became the sound.
This EP by The New Of The Tower dives deep into the fusion of Dark Progressive Techno x Hybrid Trap, where distorted 808s, mechanical percussion, and cinematic intensity collide.
Every track hits instantly — no intro, just raw energy, hypnotic tension, and haunting melodies that echo through a neon underworld.

🧠 Concept

A descent into sonic identity loss — when rhythm consumes the self, and the body becomes a vessel for sound.
Every beat is a memory erased. Every drop, a rebirth inside the noise.

Velvet Mask — Dark Progressive Experience

English below!

E começamos este mês com mais um lançamento!

É uma honra pra mim participar deste V.A, onde foi compilado pelo meu amigo e professor AT Work. O processo do começo ao fim foram completamente orgânico!
Agradecimentos também para a gravadora Toki Sounds (Futuristic Grow), onde abraçou este projeto e colocou no catalogo de sua gravadora.

O conceito deste V.A, foi que cada projeto escolhesse um BIOMA, independente de qual fosse e ilustrasse e passasse de forma sonora a sensação do Bioma escolhido. Cada track deste V.A foi executada com sucesso.

E ai, consegue adivinhar qual Bioma eu escolhi?
_____________________________________________________________________

And we started this month with another release!

It’s an honor for me to be part of this V.A., which was compiled by my friend and teacher, AT Work. The process from beginning to end was completely organic!
Special thanks also to the label Toki Sounds (Futuristic Grow), which embraced this project and added it to its catalog.

The concept of this V.A. was that each project would choose a BIOME—any biome—and illustrate and convey, through sound, the feeling of the chosen biome. Each track in this V.A. achieved that perfectifully.

So, can you guess which biome I chose?

Balmsoul [Melodic Techno / Progressive House]

Bushprog/Zenonesque Set

A steady dive into deep, dark progressive — smooth flow, dense atmosphere, and a quiet pull into the depths where the music becomes the space itself.

“Descent Into the Deep” is a musical expedition where I become your guide — like Jacques-Yves Cousteau, but instead of scuba gear, it’s sound; and instead of the ocean, it’s the boundless abyss of progressive house.

Each episode is a new dive — a slow descent into the depths, where the light fades away and sonic currents pull you further into the unknown. You’ll hear surface waves turn into underwater streams, soft chords morph into driving basslines, and darkness reveal its own beauty.

This is a journey without a compass or a map — only the feeling that every meter down opens new horizons.

Get ready — the sound becomes your oxygen, and the rhythm your heartbeat in the silence of the ocean.

🎧 “Descent Into the Deep” — where music takes you below the surface. Enjoy the dive.

Bio:

ENG 

Julio has been a familiar face in the Irish psytrance scene for years. Whether as a DJ or a promoter, he’s always ready to champion the psychedelic trance music that he loves!

His journey began in 2006 with a DJ course in his hometown in Brazil. For a few years, Julio varied his sets between electro and minimal, but everything changed after his first encounter with the psytrance culture at a festival in 2011. He instantly fell in love with the music, the people, and the whole vibe, diving headfirst into the world of faster BPMs.

Based in Dublin since 2014, he began organizing the indoor party 'Psychedelic Gaff' a few years later. His sets are all about groove, adapting to the crowd and time of day, with flawless transitions that keep the dance floor in a trance. He's always on the hunt for new tracks, exploring psytrance and its subgenres, making his sets an extension of his passion.

He’s had the chance to play at some incredible festivals, including Universo Paralello (Brazil), S.U.N. Festival (Hungary), Solar Seeds Transylvania (Romania), Fuinneamh (Ireland), Audio Garden (Ireland), Euphonics (Ireland), and United Tribes (Northern Ireland).

In 2023, Julio founded 'Gaff Records,' which launched its first release one year later! With a love for music that knows no bounds and a knack for keeping the crowd moving, Julio’s journey promises to keep writing good stories.

POR 

Julio tem sido uma figura conhecida na cena psytrance irlandesa há anos. Seja como DJ ou promoter, ele está sempre pronto para defender o trance psicodélico que tanto ama!

Sua jornada começou em 2006 com um curso de DJ em sua cidade natal, no Brasil. Por alguns anos, Julio variou seus sets entre electro e minimal, mas tudo mudou após seu primeiro contato com a cultura psytrance em um festival em 2011. Ele se apaixonou instantaneamente pela música, pelas pessoas e por toda a vibe, mergulhando de cabeça no mundo dos BPMs mais rápidos.

Morando em Dublin desde 2014, alguns anos depois ele começou a organizar a festa indoor 'Psychedelic Gaff'. Seus sets são cheios de groove, adaptando-se ao público e ao horário, com transições impecáveis que mantêm a pista de dança em transe. Ele está sempre em busca de músicas novas, explorando o psytrance e seus subgêneros, fazendo de seus sets uma extensão de sua paixão.

Julio teve a oportunidade de tocar em alguns festivais incríveis, incluindo Universo Paralello (Brasil), S.U.N. Festival (Hungria), Solar Seeds Transylvania (Romênia), Fuinneamh (Irlanda), Audio Garden (Irlanda), Euphonics (Irlanda) e United Tribes (Irlanda do Norte).

Em 2023, Julio fundou a 'Gaff Records,' que teve seu primeiro lançamento no ano seguinte! Com um amor pela música que não conhece limites e uma habilidade única de manter o público em movimento, a jornada de Julio promete continuar escrevendo boas histórias.

🎧 The New Of The Tower
Welcome to a new, underground, dark world...

🎭 Musical Style & Artistic Evolution

🚀 Avant-Garde Dance Music Without Borders
The New Of The Tower is an independent, self-taught project that fearlessly pushes the limits of dance music with a unique fusion of genres. Officially described as a mix of dark techno, tech-house, electro, and experimental pop, it also incorporates elements of trap, punk, and even classical music.

In practice, each track oscillates between club anthems and conceptual sonic experiences. For instance, “Velvet Guillotine” (2025) is a hypnotic techno hymn built on heavy percussion and distorted vocals—a true “surreal sonic ritual” under neon lights.

The sound is always matched by a cinematic, underground aesthetic: strobe lights, cyberpunk visuals, and immersive atmospheres define every release.

🌍 Eclectic Influences & Genre Alchemy

The New Of The Tower draws from a wide range of sonic traditions:

🏴‍☠️ Dark techno and industrial groove infused with gothic textures and anarchic punk (e.g., “BRUTAL!!” — a chaotic journey of distortion and rebellion).

🌍 Afro-Tech House meets rock guitars à la AC/DC in “Love Letters” (124–126 BPM).

👺 “Masquerade of Bass” blends melodic techno, dark psytrance, and retro synth-pop.

💃 Spanish-language tracks like “Marionetas” and “Vidas Rotas” fuse flamenco sorrow with trap beats and deep 808s.

🎷 “2:59 AM” evokes Amy Winehouse-inspired jazzy cloud-rap, while “She Danced Through Storms” travels through deep house and jazz fusion with a cinematic touch.

🧊 “Still Echoing” merges melodic trance with nostalgic 80s synth-pop.

🧬 Each track is a bold cross-genre experiment: from industrial club bangers to dark electronic ballads, always rich in texture and emotion.

🎛️ Sonic Palette: Instruments & Effects

🎹 Synths & Melodies
Analog pads & leads (often vocoder-enhanced) create retrofuturistic atmospheres.
Punk-style distorted guitars and 80s synthwave textures bring cinematic depth.

🥁 Percussion & Rhythms
Hard techno kicks, metallic hi-hats, tribal drums, and trap-style 808s.
Layered acoustic and electronic elements make for dynamic and precise beats.

🌀 FX & Processing
Rich in glitchy clips, VHS noise, deep delays, and reverb-soaked vocals.

Examples: “Love Letters” is drenched in lo-fi and VHS textures; “4 Malos Polvos” features glitchy ambient layers and emotional auto-tune.

🎨 Each sound is carefully crafted to contribute to a vivid, cinematic soundscape.

🎤 Vocal Treatments: A Sonic Chameleon

Vocals range from:
🎙️ Melodic singing (English & Spanish)
🔥 Punk shouting & spoken rap
🤖 Vocoded retro textures (“Still Echoing”)
💔 Melancholic auto-tuned lines (“4 Malos Polvos”)
💣 Confessional, emotionally intense deliveries
🗣️ The voice becomes another instrument of emotion, soaked in effects like reverb, delay, filters—ranging from ghostly whispers to ecstatic screams.

🌑 Emotional Climate & Storytelling

The overall emotional tone is dark, introspective, and visceral.

Themes revolve around:
💘 Passion, heartbreak, rebellion
🧠 Subconscious states & urban alienation
🕯️ Ritualistic, trance-like experiences (e.g., “Velvet Guillotine”)
