Grown in the lush landscapes of Lismore on Bundjalung Country and now based in Melbourne, Tranqkarma emerges with a sound that fuses organic earthiness with synthetic curiosity.

Staying true to a natural instinct while embracing the digital realm, this project delves deep into the subterranean world of Bush Prog—warm, twisted, and undeniably hypnotic. Expect deep, rolling basslines, tactile stabs, gritty growls, and an intricate layer of rhythm that pulls you into its pulse.

His debut EP Swamp Wading is a bold expression of this sonic vision—an immersive journey through murky textures and evolving grooves that echo the raw, untamed spirit of the wild. Tranqkarma doesn’t just stick to the formula—it stretches it, always reaching for new depths and pushing boundaries to craft a sound that feels both grounded and otherworldly.

Tranqkarma - Chumpy

Neoom’s sound moves between Dark Progressive Psytrance, Psytechno, Bushprog, and Hypnotic Technoid soundscapes, united by consistently darker atmospheres. This diverse approach blends psychedelic textures with modern synth work, creating deep, swampy but driving vibes that keep the dance floor moving. Unbound by genre, the project moves fluidly between styles. The result is a distinctive sonic fingerprint where driving beats meet hypnotic patterns and evolving atmospheres.

Founded in Melbourne in 2013, Universal Tribe Records has grown from deep underground roots into a globally respected imprint, predominantly focusing on Bush Prog, Deep Daytime, and Psychedelic Techno. Over the years, we’ve collaborated with a diverse and ever-expanding network of artists from around the world, each contributing to the evolving sound and spirit of the label.
