Please Recycle Volume 1 is the first in a series of releases compiled by Smoke Sign/PsychoActive of the newly minted Elephant Head Records based in Eugene, Oregon. The idea here is to take previously released tracks from Beatport and Psyshop and re-release them for free on Ektoplazm to give something back to the community and introduce listeners to music they might not have heard before. Working in partnership with Dacru Records, this premiere edition features a dazzling line-up of melodic full-on psytrance from F.F.T., Lamat, Aquila, Chronos, Sufi, Frenessy, and Smosh. Be prepared for driving bass lines, shredding psychedelic effects, and ecstatic melodies that will leave you tingling all over.
