Dubtrak is the brainchild of Richard Lisah, a Polish music producer and recording artist based in Toronto, Canada. The Dancer Behind The Mask, released on Psyderweb Records, contains five new songs demonstrating a heady fusion of downtempo breakbeats and world music with a pinch of psychedelia. Here is the original description:

What if an ancient tribe had a soundsystem at their disposal?
What if their instruments were electrified and their voices amplified?
Who’s the Dancer behind the mask?
Is it the Tribe’s shaman or is it You and I, feeling the Earth’s pulse and moving to the beat of a drum?
Put on your headphones, open up your imagination, and take a trip down Dark River where you explore colorful soundscapes, while you’re adrift, levitating in a Purple Haze.

Mastering by Euphorica with artwork by Dubtrak.

Sheyba was originally a joint project formed by Danish trance pioneers Orion (Jean Borelli) and Elysium (Kristian Thinning). Trance Africa Express was originally released on First Flight, a massive early success for the legendary UK imprint Flying Rhino Records. All around the world it became one of the most played tracks in 1996/1997 with several top chart placements on national radio stations, music magazines, and DJ top tens. Sheyba launched a remix contest in February 2010 that was later won by Disco Hooligans from Greece, an act already known for two stellar albums released on Ektoplazm. Regrettably, the release was delayed for some time, but it is finally here. Enjoy the great energetic remix by Disco Hooligans alongside a deep tribal remix from Elysium.

Ektoplazm & Panzar Produktionz proudly present Way Over Deadline, the long-awaited sophomore album by legendary Swedish progressive trance pioneers Etnoscope. Founded in 2000 by Rasmus Alanne, Martin Collin, and Ludvig Engelbert, the group devised a unique and unmistakable signature sound by melding electronic music with live tribal drumming and acoustic instrumentation. Shortly after formation, Etnoscope signed with Son Kite’s infamous Digital Structures imprint and released a series of successful 12″ records before exploding onto the world stage with their critically acclaimed 2003 debut album, Drums From The Dawn Of Time (also available from Ektoplazm for free download). Now, after seven years of growing anticipation, ongoing rumours, and increasing doubt, Etnoscope emerges from hibernation with another monumental contribution to global trance-dance culture. Way Over Deadline builds on the classic Etnoscope vibe with intricate tribal drumming, powerful electronic rhythms, synthetic soundscapes, ethereal vocals, and infectious guitar riffs. The result is an unforgettable musical experience exploring our ancient origins with unrestrained positivity and authentic spirit. Professionally mastered by Colin Bennun at the Stooodio, Bristol, UK, with cover artwork and original photography by Basilisk.

Etnoscope is a legendary Swedish tribal trance project founded in the year 2000 by Martin Colin, Rasmus Alanne, and Ludvig Engelbert. Their debut album Drums From The Dawn Of Time was originally released on Digital Structures in 2003 to great critical acclaim. Harnessing the universal power of the drum, one of humankind’s most ancient instrument, Etnoscope has created a timeless classic of progressive psytrance. Organic rhythms, evocative vocals, and highly stylized synth-work combine to manifest a primal trance-dance ritual that transcends the boundaries of time and space. Featuring vocals by Carola Szücs, Lotta Hedberg, and Lisbet A. Lanne as well as didgeridoo by Linus Zättervall.
