| yea they do produce psytrance .. i prefer their older stuff .. you could say they are a tad commercial .. but then i can think of far more commercial artists/producers than astrix .. and tbf alot of it for astrix could be misinterpreted support for producing decent tracks .. |

| It's just one guy, Avi Shmailov. Way too mainstream israeli full-on for my tastes these days, but his older stuff is quite enjoyable nonetheless, such as Eye To Eye. |

Astrix is ing awesome! Most psy-trance records have good sounding elements but lack oomph. Astrix combines psy-trance elements with energetic uplifting baselines which works really well imo. He's also a very talented guy :)
I highly recomend getting his 'Psychedelic Academy' mix cd or his latest album 'Artcore'. Both are very good! :toocool: :tongue2 |

although having said that all, for people not totally into or accustomed to the psy sound, stuff like on artcore etc is easy listening, and a good platform on which to build psy knowledge. |

psy academy is a poor cd! full of commercial tracks .. how else would such a monstresity as Sub6 feat Michele Adamson - "Ra He Ya" get on it? psy trance with vocals? disgusting .. |

ok so that particular track is cheesy, but the rest is ace. Psy-trance is a very underground scene and I don't think anyone could call even the most club friendly of tracks commercial. I'm not expecting any Ian Van Dahl/Lasgo psy tracks anytime soon. |

Those two words go together like Tom, Dick and Harry. |

| Astrix is definatly easy to listen to if you are new to psy, which isn't a bad thing and sometimes is refreshing instead of a lot of the same blip blop that comes out these days (with regards to more full on stuff). |
