Prokaion is a new project from Daniel Mondry, a psytrance producer based in Berlin, Germany. After discovering electronic music in 1994 he founded the Zerotonine project with Robert Junge in 1997. Together they released an album, Cygnus Loops, and several different tunes for various labels such as Iboga Records, Nova Tekk, AP Records, and Society FX. Around 2003 the collaboration ended, partly because Daniel no longer felt excited about the sound of the time, and soon retired from production. In the intervening years Daniel frequently recalled fond memories of the happiness and bliss that good psychedelic trance can create. And so, last year he started over, bought new equipment, began to relearn music-making skills, charted a new creative direction, and wrote several fresh tunes. Four of these have been included here, on Dream Filament, a new release from Ektoplazm. Mastered by Colin Bennun at the Stooodio, Bristol, UK, with original photography and design by Basilisk.

Sunrise From The Treetops is the remarkable debut of Hinkstep (Jonas Tegenfeldt), a talented musician and audio engineer born and raised in the northern part of Sweden. After discovering the “other side” of Infected Mushroom’s groundbreaking album Converting Vegetarians, Jonas was hooked on the manifold possibilities of downtempo psychedelia. His boundless experiments in the years that followed eventually gave rise to a refreshingly eclectic style further influenced by the likes of Porcupine Tree and Younger Brother. Now, having cultivated a bold creative vision, Hinkstep is ready to share the sublime experience of this unique album with the world. Additional credits: female vocals on Aldrig Mer by Sara Johanna Lindström Westman; male vocals on Aldrig Mer by Milad Becky; guitar and sitar on Aldrig Mer by Peter Ekelund; guitar on Aldrig Mer by Daniel Schwartz; guitar on So Beautiful So Strange by Oscar Hägglund; vocals on So Beautiful So Strange and Sleep Again by Jonas Tegenfeldt. Mastered by Jonas Tegenfeldt with design and original photography by Basilisk. Released by Omnitropic, Ektoplazm’s downtempo imprint.

Cybernetika returns to Ektoplazm with Colossus, an extraordinary full-length album fusing psychedelic trance and drum ‘n bass with futuristic science fiction atmospheres.

As with his previously releases, Cybernetika has written an epigraph to situate the album within a thematic framework: “As all-consuming waves of entropy were reaching our galaxy, mankind was forced into a desperate battle for survival. With discovered technologies far beyond our understanding, we were able to construct a last bastion against a rapidly dissolving universe, right in the center of our galaxy: The Colossus, a gigantic, artificial shield of protection, preserving stability of space itself. With the Colossus, we can defeat our own destiny…” Track 6 (Humanity: Static) originally written and produced by Vortech. Mastered by Kri @ Audiovalve. Artwork by Stefan Hürlemann.
