Welcome to the second episode of 'En-Tranced by Zimo'.

Today we are exploring trance in a minimal sense. We could call it minimal trance or leftfield trance. Starting with delicately designed sounds, notice how sounds are selected to create different landscapes and unique moods.

In the second hour, it transitions to darker psychedelic trance, most of which from late 90s to early 2000s. To me, they sound almost like techno but with an extra layer of psychedelic sounds.

This is followed by a light-hearted burst out of the darkness, expanding into a completely trippy, yet atmospheric soundscape.

The mix also features two of my own tracks and two from Jericho, whose track is released under my label, Sit Up Records.

So sit back, relax, and perhaps, move your body if you feel like doing so. Enjoy!

En-Tranced by Zimo 02 [SONIC TECHNO]

Hello lovelies, it's Zimo again. After 5 episodes of En-Tranced by Zimo, this one will be the first one with a guest. This month my guest is Edison Vega, a producer/DJ from Colombia who has a distinct taste.

While he traverses in the deep, esoteric sounds of Sonic Techno and Leftfield Trance, he dabbles in Old school Techno as well as Breakbeat. This mix, which you will hear in a moment, jumps between his different worlds. Acoustic details layer upon each other smoothly, while from the subtle transition techniques it invokes a sense of timelessness.

So sit back, relax, and plunge into the 2 hour journey by Edison Vega. Enjoy!

An interdisciplinary art event celebrating the publication of Weather Underwater, an eco-gothic thriller novel by Kaisa Saarinen.

Not a funeral party for lost futures - the agenda is finding joy and rage in the ongoing apocalypse, finding you can still breathe in the deep & see through the darkness.

The programme will include a sonic meditation; hybrid performances of poetry, video & sound art; an exhibition of paintings by the book cover artist; and DJ sets.

SPACER (@spacer2) is another Techno-Trance hybrid producer whom I discovered on Bandcamp. His only album back then did not have any purchases at all, but his track 'Purpose' was simple but effective, with hypnotic melodies and almost-psychedelic FXs. I asked him for a remix and there he delivered a solid, energetic techno spin on my track.

COBLE (@salutcoble) is one the few producers whose music is suitable for both peak-time clubbing and listening. His acid basslines and hard-hitting drums mixed with the original melody creates the perfect peak-time moment in a club. And with a tight arrangement, each element is showcased in terms of short sections, which creates a good listening experience.

Brilliant Hues Of Aquatic Creatures (COBLE Remix)

Named after 'Avatar: The Last Airbender', Appa was a giant, fluffy bison which symbolizes bonding and inner strength, offering protection along the challenging journeys of spirituality pursuers. From March to August 2020 amidst the lockdown in the Netherlands, I reduced my interaction with the external world, which provided me a seemingly timeless period of time to explore my inner self and amplifying my own musical voice. The isolation and use of magic truffles during this time also invoked in me a sense of modern shamanism.

Zimo bridges the sound of techno and trance with recontextualized tactics of early psytrance sound design. 'Appa' diminishes the gap between club music and listening music by combining the driving, energetic sound of Techno with the mesmerizing harmony of early 90s Trance, revitalizing the 'Neo Trance' sound into intelligence, danceability and hypnosis. Zimo also takes a playful interest in unconventional ways of bending foley and nature sounds, revealing occasional glimpses of his otherworldly soundscape.
