...surroundings of Goa and Thailand and other more primitive locations, close to the heart of nature. But what happens when these sounds are
taken into the heart of Tokyo, the thriving metropolis, the city that never stops. Here inspiration is drawn from the towering skyscrapers and feel of asphalt
underfoot. It is here that psychedelic trance has evolved into the future trance that is showcased on this release from b.p.f records.
This is Psychedelic Future Trance. The artists on this release are well known to the psychedelic trance community. First we have Charm, the
collaboration between the two Tokyo Techno Tribe members Kuro and Tatsuo. More recently known for their releases on Psyristor Trax, their sound is an evolved
psychedelic tech-trance that relentlessly pounds dancefloors. This is followed by a solo track from K.U.R.O, from his project that has been producing the
classic Japanese psychedelic trance sound since his early releases on Spirit Zone. Third is a track from Tatsuo on his own, presenting his new project Clade.
Next is a track from the project Yamabikaya, well known for their album on Shiva Space Technology. They give us two tracks, the second featuring DJ Bin, known
for his sets at the Utage Open Air Festival. Then we have the project of TraceCafe's DJ Tonio, producing as Clutch he also gives us two tracks, the second
being a colaboration with Germany's DJ Aze, well known for his work with the group Charasmatix, who have just released a new album on Candyflip Records. The
final track comes from the new progressive psytrance colaboration from Japan, Sativa. This is Double Dragon's Steve Good, resident DJ at the Stargate parties
in Japan, teaming up with another Steve, Steve McLean They have both already drawn a lot of respect from their releases on Iboga Records and Flow Records, and
here they provide another fresh leaf of Sativa. These artists have been chosen to showcase the new sound of Future Trance, psychedelic trance from the heart
of Tokyo.
