A Sharp Kick To The Third Eye is the dazzling debut of Satori (Rory Robinson), an Australian psytrance producer based in Sydney. He first began the project in 2005 and has played events all over Australia since then. Released by Fish ‘n Trips Records, this 4-track stormer belts out hard and heavy beats at a hectic pace, reaching as high as 170 BPM. This might explain the name of the project; Satori is described as “a spiritual awakening sought in Zen Buddhism, often coming suddenly.” Mastered by Rory Robinson with cover artwork by Kias Henry.

Tandava Dance is a gift from Active Meditation Music, now entering their second year of activity. Compiled by Demoniac Insomniac, this release features a variety of darkpsy experiments from around the world. Expect to hear aggressive rhythms, unnerving noises, and high tempos as these blasters commemorate Tandava, the dance of Shiva. From Wikipedia: “Tandava is a vigorous dance that is the source of the cycle of creation, preservation and dissolution. While the Rudra Tandava depicts his violent nature, first as the creator and later as the destroyer of the universe, even of death itself; the Ananda Tandava depicts him as the enjoyer of his creation–the universe.” Mastered by Mentaloop, Israel.
