TranceVisuals is back with another trippy music video, this time for the Wizack Twizack remix of Have A Nice Flight by Guinea Pigs. This track was originally released as a free download on the Galactic Synthetic compilation, available here at Ektoplazm.

If you enjoy this video be sure to leave a comment on Youtube and check out the TranceVisuals video for Clone – Invasion, another free song from Ektoplazm.

Here is a promotional video for Into The Void, a new release by Atma on BMSS Records. Is that how German towns look these days? It is a rather amusing video, as you will see.

Like the music? Find it on Beatport and Juno.

Japanese psytrance has always had a reputation for being a little crazy–and there is no artist more associated with this observation than uvAntam (formerly Ubar Tmar AKA Takeshi Isogai), an obscure yet brilliant visionary. Although his work is typically regarded as bewildering and bizarre, there is a method to his mathematical madness–have a look at the Macrometasomakosmos project for an example. Thanks to the good folk at Psynews I found some Youtube videos of his more recent output, none of which seems to be available outside of Japan. For that reason I am sharing the video for Space Prawn here on Ektoplazm, ideally to introduce a few visitors to this extraordinarily alien style of electronic music:

Find uvAntam on SoundCloud, Youtube, and Twitter for more information.

Incidentally, if there are any Japanese speakers reading this, would it be possible to ask him where his new music can be acquired in lossless quality? I’d love to get my hands on this madness!

N.A.S.A. (Mikkel Rasmussen from Denmark) provides a captivating “Long Days & Pleasant Nights” progressive psytrance remix of the title track from Here And Now, the latest album by AstroPilot, recently released on Altar Records, Canada. The original song features voices by Iz Marceau and this video is by label owner DJ Zen.

This remix is available for purchase from Bandcamp alongside many other great releases at a fair price.

I recently had the pleasure of watching RiP!: A Remix Manifesto, a documentary about culture, copyright, and creativity in the 21st century directed by Canadian filmmaker Brett Gaylor. The main focus of the film is Girl Talk, a mash-up artist, though you will also hear from Lawrence Lessig, co-founder of the Creative Commons (and a huge inspiration for developing this web site), and Boing Boing co-editor Cory Doctorow. Copyright law might seem like a dry subject but the visual presentation of this film is positively electric–you won’t be bored! Watch the entire documentary in HD at the National Film Board of Canada and visit Open Source Cinema to scope out fan-made remixes. Finally, here’s a trailer to give you a small sample of what it’s all about:
