Sun Station Records is proud to present the Underwater Lab EP, a new release by Dissociactive (Vyacheslav Iskanyan), one of the most prominent projects from Moscow’s underground trance scene. Founded in 2001 by Slavik Iskanyan, Dissociactive has been making waves since 2003 with numerous releases on labels like Doof, Crystal Matrix, Bom Shanka, and Acidance, where the album “Black Out” appeared in 2005. The Underwater Lab EP is a taste of Dissociactive’s second album “Total Transformation,” soon to be released on Sun Station Records. The style is an enticing elixir of blasting psychedelic energy, floating melodies, breathtaking pads, and mystical overtones. Included here is a remix by Sorrowmurk, a new project from former Dissociactive member Eugene Martinov. This EP was mastered with precision at Manifold Studio and adorned with artwork by Adha.

The fourth release on SunStation is Pan Psychic’s epic debut album, We Are Not Who We Are. Formed in 1999 by Alexey Kravchenko and Georgy AKA Geo, Pan Psychic became the first trance act to emerge from the Russian city of Saint Petersburg. They have played at numerous parties and festivals over the years, sharing the stage with some of the finest artists of the genre. Since Pan Psychic was founded the line-up has changed; Geo’s long-time friend Ivan Fedorenko joined after Alex left the group in 2006. Geo has also collaborated with the Ukranian artist Shytan (O. Bojczuk) on two tracks from this album.

We Are Not Who We Are is a collection of the “best and most popular” songs composed by the group from 2002 to 2007. Many of the older songs have been remastered for inclusion on this release. The style varies from track to track; you will hear dark and dirty night-time blasters, hypnotic old school Goa trance, melodic full-on, and deep chill out on this release. The album comes to a close with a remix of a song by a famous Russian band that has allegedly become the unofficial anthem of the Saint Petersburg trance movement.
