VA - SINISTER GRIN - Compiled by Var!ant

This episode is presented by Xerox (Moshe Keinan), one of the most respected veterans in Psy-trance music and one of HOMmega's founders (together with his late friend, Eyal Yankovich). Xerox is a producer who's been influencing the sound of the genre in the last 25 years. His debut album 'Human Race' (with Freeman) had a significant role in the transition of Goa- trance into 'Full-on' and helped to shape the popular sound of HOMmega in the late 90'. In 2004, Moshe teamed up with Amir Dvir to create the project Xerox & Illumination and bring to the world a unique and electrifying dark Full-on. Vertical Mode (his project with Volcano) is one of the leading acts of the Progressive Psytrance era, with countless Beatport #1 hits since 2013 and till this very moment. Xerox has just released a brand new original compilation called 'Age of Soularity'. It's a great excuse for an exclusive DJ set that blends some of this release highlights with unreleased ones from Moshe's stash.

Vertigo Records is back with a special Christmas gift to all faithful fans of our label and, we hope, to all new followers too. We've put together a free digital EP that consists of exclusive remixes and previously unreleased versions of some of the greatest tunes of the last two decades. Firstly we have the 2nd part of ‘In The Hands of the Shaman’ by the legendary Trold, the first part of which features on their last album ‘Time for Solution’ released on Vertigo earlier this year; then Samadhi comes with a powerfully crunchy remix of the absolute Goa Trance classic ‘Teleport’ by Man With No Name; Finnish duo Rye Smugglers drop their revision of Donna Summer's groundbreaking disco anthem ‘I feel Love’ and last but not least we have Nebula Meltdown with an amazing remix of ‘It’s Just a Ride’, the marvellous Voice of Cod's most popular tune. 
 
We are happy to share these gems with you for free and hope that you will also share it with your friends, neighbours and pets…

Voice of Cod It's Just A Ride [Nebula Meltdown Remix]

This is a guest mix recorded specially by SINGLE VISION for Profound Records, which contains the latest Profound Records releases and some of his 2022 favorites. Having discovered Psychedelic Trance in the year 2002 at a party in Goa, Vishal Sabnani aka Single Vision was instantly drawn towards the culture. He decided to give DJ’ing a shot while dabbling with various sub genres within Psychedelic Trance and played across Goa to begin with. Originally from Mumbai, Vishal relocated back to his birthplace Dubai where he found home at RAVELATIONS by launching himself under his alias, SINGLE VISION. The resident DJ of Dubai’s premiere & most consistent Psytrance portal (RAVELATIONS)for more than a decade, Single Vision has had the opportunity to perform worldwide playing alongside heavy weights. The rise in SINGLE VISION in the Middle East led him to officially join DIGITAL OM PRODUCTIONS as a leading label DJ. "An Intelligent progressive journey into full-on psychedelic sounds" is how Vishal describes the SINGLE VISION experience. Usually slotted during sundown for a transition set, he delivers a perfect balance of power and flow. Rest assured, the “Point of Impact” will hit the spot when you have the Vision that is Single unleashed on a dance floor near you!

Argon Sphere - Cosmic Echoes (EP)
Bandcamp: https://bmssrecords.bandcamp.com/album/cosmic-echoes
Beatport: https://bit.ly/ArgonSphereCosmicEchoesBP

Argon Sphere's new EP 'Cosmic Echoes' comes at us like a veritable sonic reverberation from outer space. In the solo title track, driving daytime beats fuse with razor-sharp FM textures to propel the track forward in a consciousness-warping psychotropic frenzy, whilst the Serbian producer's trademark soaring melodies bring a subtle but captivating ethereal atmosphere to the production.

Argon's Sphere's classic track 'Midnight Senses' has then been given a fresh take by fellow BMSS-er Mind Lab. The result is a heads-down no-nonsense blaster that will uplift the most discerning trancefloor with its sense-boggling grooves, mind-bending pads and alien-speech-like synth textures.

Prepare yourself for a psychedelic transmission from the outer reaches of our galaxy!

PsynOpticz "ELEMENTS" Series

CHROMATONE | AUZ (Zero1 Music/Nano Records) :: PsynOpticz "ELEMENTS" Series #005

Vertigo Records was founded specifically in order to unfold  and preserve a very special type of psychoactive music: the sort of music that gives us all a feeling of motion when everything is stationary, the sort of music that makes you fly without moving and dance like nobody is watching you.

 The impulse to start Vertigo label was given to us at the end of 2004 in Moscow, Russia, and since then our team of experienced navigators and antigravity experts has been travelling around the planet digging deeper and going further into the matrix of creation. Our goal is to find the most unique psychedelic gems that will penetrate the subconsciousness and reveal the vertigo effect, exposing the true nature of reality.

Over the years we have connected with many prominent psychedelic masters, discovered many gifted psy-enthusiasts, and collected their creations into more than 20 audio volumes suitable for any audio palyers on the planet, but only to be played at propper moments. Also we have organized many psychedelic gatherings to test these tunes among like-minded people consumed by the vertigo effect. As a result, Vertigo Records has spread around the globe and has reached Australia, Brazil, USA, Indonesia, India, and Europe, where we have our granted ambassadors.

You can also join us. If you are feeling the vertigo effect blitzing away in your mind, and it can only come out in a form of music and arts, please contact us immediately no matter where you are. We would be happy to change this world together and take off into the cosmos with you.
