Psytrance Full Sets

Ever since my personal discovery of the writings and musings of Terence McKenna in the mid 90’s I have been both fascinated & amused by a hypothesis of his that some have referred to as: The Stoned Ape Theory.

Here is a fun read on it by Kiki Dy.

The Stoned Ape Theory: Pseudoscience or Psychedelic Origin of Modern Man?

Did early humans accelerate evolution by tripping balls on psychedelic mushrooms? One psychonaut ethnobiologist says: absolutely.

Let’s set the scene: 100,000 years ago, in the age before recorded history, our early hominid ancestors started abandoning the forests and traveling across savannahs. As they foraged in new environments, they began evolving faster, cleverer brains that eventually tripled in size. How did they accomplish this? One theory suggests that they unknowingly added psilocybin to their diet and tripped their way to high-level consciousness. 

The Stoned Ape Theory is a hypothesis by one of America’s most influential psychonauts, Terence McKenna. With knowledge of ecology, conservation, and shamanism, McKenna united his interests in his study of psychedelics. McKenna earned his degrees from the University of California-Berkeley’s Tussman Experimental College, and his extensive writings served as some of the West’s first exposure to the psychedelics DMT and ayahuasca. 

Though he died in 2000, McKenna’s lifetime of advocating for the exploration of altered states of mind still influences modern psychonauts today. The Stoned Ape Theory is only one way in which he attempted to shift the world’s view of psychedelics.

Biography – Techno Larry / Sheep On Aether

Somewhere in the endless expanse of space and time, Techno Larry was born...
Analysts, striving to calculate further, expanding their knowledge and consciousness, traced his Earthly arrival back to the 1990s. Growing up in the heart of the Alps, Philipp discovered his lifelong passion – music.

At the age of 10, he began playing the drums and formed a nameless band with a few friends. Shortly after, and with growing dedication, he dove deeper into the essence of sound and rhythm.

Exploring various genres, his path became clear after attending his first psytrance parties. Completely captivated by this vibrant, colorful world, he immersed himself in the art of turntablism.
He honed his skills by performing at small parties and numerous events.
To this day, it remains one of his greatest passions – and as the prophecy goes, it will be until his final days.

Over time, he became increasingly involved with Cubase and discovered the nearly limitless possibilities of channeling his creativity into structured, electronic psychedelic music.

Today, Techno Larry – also known as Sheep On Aether – performs hybrid DJ sets that merge his own productions with cutting-edge tracks from the genre.

At this point, I want to thank all the people and artists who have inspired and supported me.
A special thanks goes to STZ and Freak Records for believing in me as I grew within the scene.
And last but not least, thank you to the Frequency Squad – my new home and a supportive circle of friends who love psytechno as much as I do.

My deepest gratitude goes to my beloved family, who have supported me throughout my life, no matter what path I chose to follow.

And finally, to all my friends out there – thank you for standing by me in this Age of Change!
