Intermezzo Extended is the latest full-length release from SubConsciousMind (Raphael Huber), a self-made Swiss artist with an original approach to composing next-level psychedelic dance music. While it masterfully captures the essence of the classic Goa trance sound, this album transcends mere nostalgia by shaping the spirit of the past into something new and completely unique. The seven songs that form Intermezzo Extended are primed to launch the listener on an epic journey into visionary dimensions of sound seething and shimmering with complex melodies, irresistible rhythms, and raw emotional depths. With powerful storytelling and an uncommon degree of musicality SubConsciousMind has forged a modern-day gem straight from the heart. Turn up the volume and prepare yourself for an authentic experience of boundless creativity!

This set was recorded live at the 2009 edition of Eclipse, an annual psytrance festival held at the Bonnet Rouge campground in Ste-Thérèse-de-la-Gatineau, Québec. My time slot was 9pm to 11pm on the opening night, Friday. Since people were just arriving I opted to play a deep and driving blend of techno and progressive psytrance to warm up the crowd and get everyone excited for the three days and nights of music to come. As with any live recording there are a few imperfections but I am mostly happy with how it all came out. Given how early I was on, many of my friends from Toronto were unable to catch it, so posting this set is also my way of saying “here’s what you missed!”

Ektoplazm proudly presents Children Of The Light, the sixth album from the legendary ManMadeMan (Sonya Bailey & Paul Baguley). Over the years ManMadeMan has built up an extraordinary reputation releasing music on countless labels and gigging all over the world. In 2007 the band independently released Free To Listen direct to the Internet, thereby becoming one of the first major EDM acts to fully embrace the free music model of digital distribution. After being amazed and inspired by the reaction to all of this, ManMadeMan now returns to share a new album bursting with creativity and filled with fresh ideas. Children Of The Light is an incredibly diverse production, running the gamut from tribal progressive trance and ethereal downtempo to full-on floor-burning madness, all interwoven with ManMadeMan’s signature sound. This album is dedicated to all the listeners, dancers, labels, artists, and children that have changed the course of history.
