Ektoplazm presents Spectral Circuitry, an eclectic collection of songs compiled by label owner DJ Basilisk. Returning to the spirit and vibe of Organic Circuitry, the first Ektoplazm label compilation, this release is a celebration of the vibrant diversity of the global psychedelic trance underground. On this timeless journey we are joined by many old friends and allies from the early days of Ektoplazm as well as several newcomers, all of whom possess a strong artistic voice and distinctly individual style. Building steadily from a humble beginning, this release will propel you through many stages of trance before reaching a sublime, enchanting conclusion. Mastered by Jay Kerner (Southwild) with illustrations by Cesar Rodriguez of Neuromantix and digital ink and design by Basilisk.

The Wizard Of Prog is a short and snappy DJ mix by Planewalker of Astral Force Records featuring 100% Creative Commons music downloaded from Ektoplazm. Planewalker showcases the full range of progressive psytrance available through the site with the goal of helping others keep track of new and emerging talent. This also proves that psytrance DJs need not go elsewhere to build a complete set ready for the dance floor. Beginning in a very light and gentle way and ending in a bang with dark progressive psytrance, this is a journey that touches on many of the progressive acts releasing free music today. Hopefully this will introduce you to at least a few new artists you may have overlooked.

Entheos Audio Archive 4.0 is the latest in a series of compilations profiling the sound and of the Entheos Summer Solstice Conference and Festival, a yearly gathering of the tribes in the Pacific Northwest. Compiled by Akhentek and Basilisk, this collection showcases the talents of several Canadian and American psytrance and downtempo producers, many of which are regular fixtures of the festival line-up. Pharaolidae’s “Four Seasons” is named after the amount of time taken to sample musicians and complete the song. Full credits of those involved: Alcvin Ryuzen Ramos (flute, bogorobo drum, jawharp), Jay Richard Walter (bass guitar, piano), Theda Phoenix Miller (vocals), Ray Vincent (synths), Margonaut (flute), and Akhentek (synths, tweaks, editing). The entire compilation was mastered by Akhentek and features artwork by Onbeyond Metamedia.

On May 1st, 2010, Planewalker performed live at the Reed College Renn Fayre, an annual event featuring several stages of music and plenty of unconventional festival activities for students and their guests. This set features all original material and was created using Ableton Live along with a bit of electric guitar near the beginning. Collaborators on the production side include Rain (AKA Phutureprimitive/Telepathik), Mister Chill’R, Celeste Goguen, B-Grade, Osiris Indriya, Chimera, and Sunbyte. Special mention must be made of the opening track, a psytrance remix of a bluegrass song originally written by Michael Martin Murphey, Planewalker’s father, and produced by his brother Rye Murphey.

Instrumental Alchemy is the debut full-length album from Chaos Control, a collaborative downtempo project formed by Mister Chill’R and Planewalker, published by RDG Music with support by Astral Force and Waveguild. Their musical focus is a deeply entrancing variety of ambient psy-lounge, lovingly flavoured with electric guitar and luscious natural sounds. Dubby grooves and mystic melodies will blissfully carry you away on an otherworldly trip into relaxation and total contentment.
