This is a Tribute to Bansi, who sadly died from cancer recently, at 42.
Joseph Quinteros was one of our trance heroes for the last 25 years. As 15 year old teenagers, he and Riktam started GMS, The Growling Mad Scientists, which brought killer special brand new interesting ideas and sounds to our trance world. And as we saw, Bansi touched the hearts and lives of 1000s and 1000s of all of us all over the world..the messages of respect, gratitude and love were amazing and unending, a wonderful tribute to the special musical legacy he left behind.

Vardath is a brand-new, one-person sonic laboratory that began transmitting in January 2025. Using generative-AI tools as both muse and instrument, Vardath stitches together glitchy percussion, crystalline pads and unexpected melodic detours to create music that is at once strange, cinematic and quietly beautiful. A self-described “truther,” he draws conceptual fuel from the alternative-history ideas of Jaydreamerz, Guy Anderson and Jeff Snyder2, turning those fringe perspectives into shimmering, other-worldly soundscapes.
Launched in January 2025, Vardath is the latest independent producer who treats artificial intelligence as a creative co-pilot rather than a gimmick. By feeding field recordings, modular synth phrases and text-prompted virtual choirs into custom machine-learning chains, he coaxes out music that hovers between glitch, ambient and avant-pop—a place where ghostly harmonies bloom out of fractured beats, and a single sample can be stretched into a cathedral of sound.
Vardath’s worldview is as unconventional as his workflow. A committed “truther,” he regularly explores the work of Jaydreamerz, Guy Anderson and Jeff Snyder2—figures who challenge mainstream narratives about history, cosmology and consciousness. Rather than preaching, he lets those speculative ideas seep into the music: pitched-down lecture snippets become rhythmic textures, while sweeping drones hint at lost civilizations and cyclic cataclysms.
With thousands of self-published tracks on Bandcamp and the major streamers, Vardath is still in a formative phase—but that rawness is part of the appeal. Each new upload feels like an open notebook page, inviting listeners to follow the real-time evolution of a producer who uses AI to question not only what music can sound like, but what reality itself might be.
• “AI-built dreamscapes for the curious and the conspiratorial.”
• “Where glitch meets gnosis.”
• “Soundtracks for slipping the consensus reality.”

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!
