TIP Record’s DJ/Producer Lucas O'Brien is back with the sequel to his highly acclaimed, chart-topping compilation 'Avant Garden' (2015) which features a selection of tried and tested sonically diverse tracks by some of his favourite artists that he's been playing in his DJ sets worldwide.   

For this project, Lucas sourced music from what he considers the most cutting edge, pioneering producers on the scene - Hallucinogen, Raja Ram, Ingrained Instincts, Outsiders, Laughing Buddha, Martian Arts, Earthspace, Audio Unit and Everblast - as well as being substantially involved in the production side himself under his various guises: 'SuperModule' (his solo project), 'Mandelbrot' (his project with Celli 'Earthling') and 'Sybarite' his project with Ric Featherstone.
The compilation begins with one of Lucas' trademark introductions, once again collaborating with label founder Raja Ram.

Designed to tickle the eardrums and get your body moving, Avant Garden II represents the flow of a psychedelic trance dance party by kicking off with a slower and groovier vibe, then building up the pace and intensity steadily as the album progresses... eventually reaching a more night-time style peak, whilst still keeping Lucas' characteristic funky element in the tunes.  Towards the end of the album, the music transitions into a more dawn friendly style to land you safely onto a blissful cloud of psychedelia. 

As was the case with the first Avant Garden, Lucas used the exquisite artwork of TIP favourite visionary artist Brahma Templeman, this time commissioning a painting exclusively for the cover which illustrates a beautiful psychedelic garden.  Open your mind, body and soul and enjoy!

I remember Raja Ram coming into the first Tip Office back from the season in Goa in March/April 1995.  It was around the time that we received this first great track from the Astral boys.  He was excited and buzzing on energy and told me, "The future is so bright we need shades!"  He was right, Let there be light!

Astral Projection - Let There Be Light - Orange Compilation

HALLUCINOGEN is Simon Posford’s solo project, he is also in the popular bands SHPONGLE and YOUNGER BROTHER.  His Track SHAMANIX was initially released on TIP Record’s compilation YELLOW, the first edition of the Shiva series, back in Dec 1994.  It would set dancefloors alight with it’s explosive tribal, acid groove and became an instant hit and a seminal track in the Goatrance genre. 

In October 1995, Shamanix featured on Hallucinogen’s groundbreaking first album called TWISTED on YOUTH’s record label DRAGONFLY where Simon had been working as the in-house engineer.

Fast forward to 2022 >>> DOMESTIC and SPACECAT have remixed this classic and brought it a new shine with their modern production, but whilst carefully keeping the vibe and style of the original.  This has produced a monster of a remix that has been reigniting dancefloors much in the same way it did 28 years ago!  We at TIP are immensely proud to have released the original and now this fantastic remix.

Riktam (GMS) and Celli (EARTHLING), collectively known as SOUNDAHOLIX, need no introduction as stalwarts of the Psytrance scene for decades.  As childhood friends growing up in Ibiza, they discovered electronic music together at the infamous clubs and hedonistic gatherings on the island. 
Their first release was a 12” vinyl on TIP Records back in 2000 when Bansi, our dearly departed friend and one half of GMS, was also part of the project.   
Their debut full length album, Soundaholix Anonymous, came out on SPUN Records back in 2009.
>>> Fast forward to 2023… after almost 25 years of rocking dancefloors all over the Earth they have fine tuned and perfected their unique sound.  
We at TIP are delighted to present their second album RAW MATERIAL which features eleven brand new tracks and 
a cracking remix of the HALLUCINOGEN classic ASTRAL PANCAKES.

Finally, from the depths of time emerges a new 1200 MICROGRAMS track, this time joining forces with those two cosmic warriors LUCAS (SUPERMODULE) and CELLI (EARTHLING), collectively known as MANDELBROT.  
In fact, ARTIFICIAL INSANITY is a track that features a particularly potent gathering of maestros.  Along with RAJA RAM, RIKTAM, LUCAS and CELLI, a surprise guest appeared in the studio to merge and lyserge... a certain Mr SIMON POSFORD (HALLUCINOGEN/SHPONGLE) who joined us on synths to provide an electronic lubricant that baffles the senses and stimulates the neurones.  
You'll even find a pinch of DOOF magic in there for good measure in the form of the classic riff from his 90's hit 'DOUBLE DRAGONS'.
So let's get 'higher than the eagles' and blast to the sound of ARTIFICIAL INSANITY!

EMPIRIKAL are one of the most promising and upcoming trance duos Israel has to offer. Formed in 2013 by Nimrod Gorovich and Dekel Kamiosky, their own unique and groundbreaking sound and style mixes new-wave with progressive and uplifting psytrance. Performing non-stop at raves and parties, EMPIRIKAL are one of the most active and busy artists in the local rave scene today.

EMPIRIKAL's debut track, 'Dark Angel', was released on a compilation of the legendary label TIP Records and immediately caught the duo much attention. A second track, 'Good Q.' was released on an Iboga Records compilation and a debut E.P is due for release on TIP Records this November.

Growing up together at a small village in the northern part of Israel, Nimrod and Dekel's music is inspired by authentic tribal beats, psychedelic experiences, nature, and most of all: The joy of creating music. Their sound is influenced by artists like Simon Posford, LOUD, Infected Mushroom, Psysex, Mamady Keïta and more. Nimrod's background as a composer and musician, combined with Dekel's background as a DJ, creates a rich musical style that's both fun to listen to and gets the dance floor going wild!

Voltages, gates, logic, modulation, oscillation, are fascinating. Current flows through, creating a connection between patches. The purpose is to learn, to evolve and to involve more experimentation. This led to this form of expression and the project, Martian Arts. Giant Locusts is a sample of experiences, manifested through sound. Martian Arts are one of the most creative trance acts to emerge in the last few years. This new album is a show case of his fine talents.

Astral Projection....what does it mean?  An out-of-body experience?  Cruising through the Stratosphere?
Avi Nissim and Lior Perlmutter are two psychonauts who have been blasting from the beginning of time.  When we first heard them in the 1990s in Goa, they had already had several massive hits such as 'Mahadeva' and 'Let There Be Light'. and some 30 years later they are still igniting dance floors around the world. Astral Projection have been part of TIP Records since the early days and we are super excited about their upcoming monster 'Dance Is The Answer'!
This music sucks you into a wind tunnel of groovology. one is hurtled {gently} into new realms and experiences of a third eye kind.  The music rolls into your ears like a balm of safe, happy, trippy sounds that excite and elate and project you into a new state of hearing, dancing and feeling. Out soon on TIP Records!

Astral Projection & Raja Ram - Dance Is The Answer - (sample)

Avi, Haim and Guy have brought an exciting new flavour to this old school favourite with their trademark fat production and a kick and bass tighter than a mosquito's ass.. let it lock in like a heat-seeking missile straight to your toes.

Buy it at: https://www.beatport.com/release/like-a-balloon/2570276

This is a different type of trance track featuring live flute and a story about super consciousness. If you had a balloon and you put in all your ideas and thoughts into it and then let go of the string, the balloon would rise up and finally explode and merge with infinite space. This is music for dancing with your shadow beyond the atmosphere.
A sense of merging into a land of zero gravity... free at last to roam in space, time and motion.
This is a heavy dose, a mega hero sized wallop, propelling you to some new realm, an experience that goes beyond the norm and a new twist on how to take a short cut to Nirvana.....put it on, leave it on, turn it up!

After 18 years together, 1200 Micrograms have produced an epic track to tickle your consciousness, and enable you to fly without a license.

1200 Micrograms.... the music of the past, future and present. without doubt a massive dose of psyched sounds exploding, dissolving, evolving... over the top, under the bottoms riot of pleasure. pressing the sensitive neurons, into worship of the electrons, with sounds from outer space, through the worm holes, and into the garden of delights, saturated with mind expanding ideas to propel the feet into the stratosphere of mind dancing and foot stomping.  This is the album you will keep and rock to with your grandchildren......The very best of 1200 Micrograms.. so far.. over 20 years of madness.... and joy.

Enjoy this collection of 1200 Micrograms classics which has been deliciously remastered with extra juiciness and fatness for maximum aural delight!

1200 Micrograms - The Rush (New Version) (Clip)

In 1994, Raja Ram formed TIP Records, one of the original Goa-Trance / Psy-Trance labels based in the UK.  He had already been releasing music with his band The Infinity Project (T.I.P.) since the late 80's and after putting on, now legendary, TIP parties around this time, the idea to start a record label was conceived.

30 years on, TIP has gone from strength to strength with 100's of cutting-edge electronic music releases to date including highly respected classic dance music compilations right through to experimental downtempo and ambient music to a world wide (perhaps even inter-galactic)loyal following.

As ambassadors of the label, Raja Ram and DJ Lucas O'Brien (SuperModule) presented their label showcase touring the globe for over 20 years bringing the TIP sound to a wider audience.
The back catalogue reads like a who's who of the Psychedelic Trance scene and TIP helped many top artists to launch their careers.

Today, with a roster of sought after, quality and dynamic artists, TIP continues to bring music and joy to dance floors around the world!
