trance and trips

Hailing from the magical land of India, vinayak^a is no stranger to mystical rhythms and mysterious atmospheres. A part of India's ever-growing scene, he's leading the way with a series of releases that explore the deeper side of electronic music. This one is no different!

With a deep and warm bassline that picks you up and carries you across like a magic carpet, vinayak^a takes us into his dreamy world with such ease, that the listener cannot help but be transported to the ethereal realms. On the flip-side, German veteran Martin Buttrich disassembles the original into a pair of spacey delights, with his powerful yet atmospheric touch that made him one of the most respected producers around the globe.

Armin live ASOT 550 (Den Bosch) - Vinayak^A ft Dhrithi – Losing Myself (Alexey Sonar Remix)

"Her Last Journey To The Mountain " is the last work of Alejandro Pantoja better known as " Panto", a Bolivian producer from Madrid. 

It is, as always, a very deep expression of feelings with a conceptual idea of a girl that is facing a very difficult fate, her destiny has been changed by the biggest obstacle, death. 

We travel through every moment and feeling of her story through the understanding and the acceptation of death. Guided by the music, Wakhan tries to makes us feel all the pain, beautiness, darkness, madness, sadness and joy that she will face. 

The album is full of painful and beautiful melodies, aggressive basslines, dark moments and lots of voices. We travel through different styles and we can discover the darkest part of Wakhan. 

"And suddenly all the clouds disappeared and the flowers begun to grow around her while the whole universe were revealing itself as a last gift for her mortals eyes.''

After his stunning debut album 'Magic Potion' released in 2015 on Altar Records, Slobodan met Lydia and they teamed up in the studio to record ravishing vocals and melodies together.
