Ork Monk is a hard and twisted psychedelic trance project founded by Zoltan Vajda, a veteran Hungarian producer already known for his releases under the name of Kalumet. Speaking Stones contains four challenging works of dark and gritty psychedelic trance with abstract, organic overtonesthe product of many unrestrained experiments in the studio over the last year. The resulting fusion of styles and influences is characteristic of Vajdas creative and eclectic approach to sound design. This release is mastered by Kri @ Audio Valve and features artwork by Alexander Synaptic using Creative Commons-licensed photos by Yann Caradec.
From Darkness To Illumination is the first complete work from Suspiria, an enigmatic psytrance producer from Cyprus. The concept behind this release is rooted in philosophical mysticism and expressed in allegorical terms through the music. The cycle begins with a search for truth, followed by a search for substance, then a search for meaning, and finally culminates in a philosophical adage conveying the notion that all dualities are simply two aspects of the same conceptthat all things are one and the same. Mastered by Dark Elf at KGB Labs with artwork by Cypriot painter Christos Michlis.
Ektoplazm in partnership with Soundmute Recordings is proud to present Commit Charge, a simmering deep space techtrance masterpiece by Opsy (Vladislav Radulovic).

This release also contains four different remixes of the title track by Cold Project, Cujorius One, Minimal Criminal, and Amygdala. Mastered by Akhentek at Ilum Studios with artwork and photography by Alexander Synaptic.
Moonshadow is a classic psytrance mix originally composed for the Global Goa Party, a virtual event conceived to create the soundtrack for a full night (and morning) of old-school Goa trance by ten DJs from all over the world. The rules were simple: record a mix with music that would have been heard on the dance floor in 1999. I snapped up the 12:30 to 2:00am time slot and spent weeks scouring my collection for the right stuff to hasten the journey into darkness and lunacy. Naturally, this exercise aroused great nostalgia for my own initiation into psytrance culture sometime in 1997 or 1998. Since many of my earliest memories of partying in Toronto were formed at events thrown by the Moonshadow collective I decided to dedicate this mix to DJ Dam, Cyber G, Yohimbe, John Dee, and everyone else who was there in the beginning. Recorded at Ilum Studios, B.C.
