Ride the Snake, being the debut EP by the artist Slovenian artist Dark Summer, an artist who had previously featured on the Twisted Flavours compilation, demonstrates on this 3 track EP his own distinct dark psychedelic trance sound. The release features two original tracks by him, as well a remix of one of these tracks by Digitalist.
The second release we will be featuring, Sweedie, is a two track EP by Israeli artists Crazy Ducks. New to this label, and a temporary addition at that due to their desired direction, this release features this duos only dark edged and somewhat quirky psychedelic tracks, containing both a solid night track as well as a twisted transition track. Their future releases are expected to go in a new direction from what is showcased here. Crazy Ducks will be touring Australia and playing large events and festivals including Tribeadelic NYE in Melbourne, Victoria.
The last release we will be covering, Intelligence, is a release by another new artist Faxi Nadu. This 3 track EP combines a mixture of dark-edged full-on sounds with more traditional dark psy sounds, with a definite solid dancefloor sound to it. His sounds cross borders of genres, and his other releases cover styles which extend beyond definitions of any existing genres of electronic music. The artist has cited influences which vary across all forms of psytrance in the creation of this album.

PsyKe Out Special Edition - Featuring: Nabi Records - 'Psytrance is Dead!'
PsyKe Out returns to your electronic air waves with this very special edition of the show, showcasing as well as giving away copies of the debut split release from some of the most established heavyweights of the night music scene Baphomet Engine & Datakult, this being the very latest release from Nabi Records, the innovative night music label which rarely fears to push the envelope and challenging people with something different to the bulk of what is being released.
The album in question being given the contentious title of ‘Psytrance is Dead!’, a name which in itself was bound to stir up some controversy, challenging ideas and perception. Whether you agree with their sentiments or not that the name ‘Psytrance’ in this day and age is used and abused, this album is one any night music fan must grab.
The music on the album aims to challenge even fans of the Dark Psy genre, with its’ experimental edged dark psychedelic sounds. So it’s not the kind of album which may win instant appeal with some people, but with set and setting and time to absorb it, the sounds in it will likely grow on you.
The album serves as a good example of the flexibility and talents of these two artists, as they push their sounds to new extremes and in different directions, showing their true abilities to remain fresh and interesting.
You can pick yourself up a copy of this compilation on-line from various places including the likes of SaikoSounds, BeatSpace, Wirikuta, as well any good local retailer which stocks it.
As mentioned above, we will have copies of this album to give away on the show, so you will need to listen to the show to grab the question and answer needed to enter this competition! (Only open to Australien residents sorry!) Entry details will be available via this website soon!
