Cybernetika returns with another far future epic expressed through music. This time the form is an energetic drum ‘n bass/neurofunk album with strong psytrance influences. Atropos is the story of Hayashi, a lone interstellar traveller who discovers the legendary Atropos, one of the three Moirae (the Fates of Greek mythology). Atropos chooses “the manner and timing of each person’s death,” cutting the thread or web of life, and within this narrative context Hayashi meets “his own destiny—and the destiny of humanity.” With cover artwork by Stefan Hürlemann.
I'm liking this stuff as well, dnb is major genre involved in my life and its good to hear something darker in dnb, not the first time for me btw. Quality stuff Basilisk!

Breaking The Wall is a massive double-CD compilation from the Bolivian netlabel Neurotrance Records. Compiled and mastered by Erofex (Efrain Candia), this release crosses through darkness into light with a wide-ranging assortment of energetic full-on psychedelic trance. The stated aim of this project is to provide raw material for breaking down the barriers of ego and lies that separate us from our true path. Through music, dance, and meditation, we can transform our consciousness.

The release of the Flight EP marks the comeback of New Age Hippies (Marco Koeller), a German progressive psytrance project, on the newly minted Cyan Music netlabel. Koeller is no stranger to music production; alongside Michael Schab he released the album Sunshine & Rock ‘N Roll on Nova-Tekk back in 2001. True to form, this 4-track release ranges from groovy full-on psytrance to pumping atmospheric progressive, always with an uplifting and emotional edge.

01 :: Endless Eve (128 BPM)
02 :: Eastern Gate (128 BPM)
03 :: Lost And Found (128 BPM)

Repeat Customer (Will Pierson and Andrew Hamill) demonstrate their versatility on the Slackers Unite EP, the debut release from Drumlore, Ektoplazm’s new techno side label. Drawing influence from the psychedelic, progressive, and techno movements, Repeat Customer have forged a deep and deadly style that crosses genre boundaries in the pursuit of a complex emotional response in the listener. Treading from dark and deadly to light and airy, this release will take you on a whirlwind tour of the Repeat Customer sound. Mastered by Jeremy @ Attitude Recordings with artwork by Alexander Synaptic.
NETO - AQUATIKON
01 :: No Longer At Anchor
02 :: Lighthouse
03 :: Navigation By Sonar Only
04 :: Siren Island
05 :: Undertow
06 :: Saline Solution
07 :: Transoceanic Current
08 :: Bioluminescent
Neto submerges the listener in the vast inner landscapes of chill music with Aquatikon, the follow-up album to “Anomalies,” Neto’s minimal tech downtempo hip hop opus, and the debut release from Ektoplazm’s new downtempo sublabel, Omnitropic. This closely connected thematic album explores the levels below the surface of the world’s oceans, taking inspiration from mornings on the boat docks, sunrise on the pier, sailing in storms, and charting new territory. At times emotional, melodic, brooding, abstract, spacious, and open, Aquatikon is intended for the morning chill room, when you aren’t quite down, but you are wanting to level out, to get amniotic, to curl up and float into the waveforms. A distinct sonar sound used in dub effect is a fixture in each track, mimicking the navigational technology used by many underwater animals. This is music for neuronauts and mariners alike. Mastered by Akhentek with artwork by Onbeyond Metamedia.
HYPNAGOG - DREAMING IN PIECES EP
01 :: Still Dreaming (128 BPM)
02 :: Funkdiddle (90 BPM)
03 :: Tiny Little Pieces (120 BPM)
04 :: Reflections No. 2 (129 BPM)
UP Records is extremely proud to announce the debut release from Hypnagog, another guise of the talented Australian musician Felix Greenlees (Terrafractyl, Mental Extensions). After years of writing psychedelic dance music, the Dreaming In Pieces EP represents a new direction for Felix, who has recently been spending a lot of time listening to downtempo, psychedelic breaks, and IDM. These four tracks are the preliminary result of his experimental foray into developing a hybrid beat-driven yet melodic sound, mixing many secret ingredients to create an honestly psychedelic, non-generic audio experience.
Apeiron marks the formal debut of Proton Kinoun (Kasper Weensgaard), a Danish ambient producer, on Ektoplazm’s new ambient and downtempo sublabel, Omnitropic. This album is a mixture of deep drifting soundscapes, beatless ambient atmospheres, thick airy pads, and throbbing, liquid electronic percussion. Inspired by the breathtaking images of our universe captured by the sharp eyes of the Hubble Space Telescope, Apeiron is a meditative exploration of the quickening of life on cosmic scales of space and time. The use of headphones and complete darkness is recommended for a completely immersive listening experience! Mastered by Akhentek with artwork by Alexander Synaptic.
I've been posting all the free releases to this list for some time now but I am about 20 releases out of date! I've been way too busy to keep it updated. Check the web site for all the music you may have missed: http://www.ektoplazm.com
