Eat Static

Biography

Eat Static were formed in 1989 by Merv Pepler and Joie Hinton, then drummer and synth player respectively for the band Ozric Tentacles. They were joined by Steve Everitt, a library musician and occasional Ozric member. The band made a name for themselves on the Megadog/'live' techno scene of the early '90s, playing alongside the likes of Orbital, Underworld and Aphex Twin.

They were the first signings to Megadog-offshoot Planet Dog records, releasing their debut album 'Abduction' in 1993. In 1994 Steve Everitt retired from the group's live performances, though he has continued to collaborate in the studio. Since then the band have played hundreds of gigs worldwide and become one the most respected and spectacular live dance acts around. They have been voted 'Best Dance Act' in the NME, achieved a top twenty album, headlined the first dance tent at Glastonbury in 1995 and recorded two Peel sessions. Whilst essentially a sci-fi influenced, trance/techno outfit, they have also incorporated drum and bass, breakbeat, latin, garage and ambient styles into their sound at various stages. In the past few years the band have become heavily involved with the psy-trance scene, playing parties and festivals the world over and releasing numerous tracks on trance compilations.

Merv has also recently collaborated with the likes of Steve Jolliffe (Tangerine Dream), Will White (Propellerheads) and Simon Posford (Hallucinogen). In addition, Joie plays with Here & Now, Zubzub (with ex-Ozrics bassist Zia) and Dream Machine (alongside former Ozric flautist Jumping John). Both Joie and Merv also occasionally play live with Ozrics leader Ed Wynne under the guise of Nodens Ictus and have recently been playing with the Ozrics again. Eat Static released their long-awaited new album 'De-Classified' through ..Solstice Music.. in July 2007. In February 2008 it was announced that Joie would be leaving the group in order to spend more time with his family. Now going it alone, Merv released a downtempo Eat Static album entitled 'Back to Earth' in July 2008, followed by a string of festival appearances.

The next project will be the 20th Anniversary album plus a break-beat orientated album under the name Dendron (the follow up to 2003's 'Supernatural Jazz').Mesmobeat has also sprung back into life and Merv will be releasing a string of other people's work,the first being Groovuscule with his album 'Theatre'..

Soundexile

Biography

Formed in december 2006, the guys had a clear idea of what they wanted...not to sound like anyone else.
..
In an era, where cloned copies are made of each successful producer,where music lost it´s soul, just to become a mere income, these guys have the nerve to state: “... we´re not gonna sound like anyone else, we won´t stick to formulas, and we´ll make music for the fun of it, and for everyone to enjoy...”
..
And that´s exactly what they´re doing.

One track may have minimal influences, while the other borders techno, some will be sung, some will be downtempo , and some will be just pure experimentation.

This attitude has made them some nice friends in the music industry, such as Hernan Cattáneo, Sasha, Satoshi Tomiie, Laurent Garnier, Anthony Pappa, Nick Warren, Ben Watt & Oliver Klein to name but a few.

Also, prestigious record labels such as Urbantorque, Triptik, Sprout & Kumquat Tunes have released several of their tracks, and some of them made it into Beatport´s Top 10 chart.

Most recently, the duo worked alongside Hernan Cattaneo on 6 tracks for his new Masters Series album on Renaissance. Some of those songs will surface on Hernan Cattaneo´s own label, Sudbeat.

This year will also see the guys work on a full album to be played live with 2 laptops, 2 controllers, assorted fx & keyboards and a drum pad, for those Terry Bozio moments.

As the guys themselves state in their website: “... we could bore you with why we chose Soundexile as our name, but we know that in the end, the music is the only thing that matters. We put our hearts and souls into each song, and we benefit from the diversity of influences each one of us has, to break the barriers of genre and style, and make a different type of electronica.

The Invention of MDMA or Ecstasy

MDMA has the full chemical name of '3,4 Methylene-dioxy-N-methylamphetamine' or 'Methylenedioxymethamphetamine'. The 3,4 indicates the way in which the components of the molecule are joined together, as it is possible to produce an isomer which has all the same components but is joined differently. Although it is derived from organic material, MDMA itself does not occur in nature, and must be created in a complex laboratory process. There are various popular street names for MDMA such as Ecstasy, E, Adam, X and Empathy.

It is a mood/mind altering drug and like Prozac works by effecting the chemical level of Serotonin in our brains, a 'neurotransmitter' naturally present in the brain which can alter our emotions. MDMA also adversely effects blood pressure and pulse rate. Chemically the drug is amphetamine like, but psychologically it's what's known as an empathogen-entactogen, empathogenic means the ability to communicate things to others or the ability to feel empathy towards others and entactogenic means feeling well or good with yourself and the world.

Ecstasy Effects

Users claim that MDMA produces intense feelings of pleasure, empathy, warmth and happiness. It also increases sensitivity to music, makes people more emotionally open, and has a stimulating, speedy physical effect.

When Ecstasy is swallowed, the full effect is usually felt within one hour. It starts with tingling and little rushes of exhilaration. Some people may experience nausea or dizziness while coming up but it quickly passes.

The effect builds quickly, coming on in waves within the first two hours, strengthening with each pass. A lightness of mood and relaxation gives way to waves of physical pleasure, euphoria, openness and empathy to others around you. The awareness of touch is strongly heightened. Sexual activity may be more satisfying.

The muscles relax. Perception of sound and colors may be more intense while under the influence of the Love Drug.

Along with feeling good, a person who takes E may find that communicating with others is much easier. They are more open and trusting of others than when not under the influence of the drug. Not only is it easier to talk to others after using X-TC, but the person is also more introspective while under its influence.

The peak arrives and then the effects last 4-6 hours, with a gradual tapering come-down in the last two. Not everyone who tries Ecstasy has a good experience. Some people who use it feel anxious, depressed or even paranoid after using the drug.
Other users report feeling nauseous and complain that their arms and legs feel stiff after ingesting the drug. Excessive thirst is another side effect of using X-TC. The user may not be able to sleep after taking a dose.

Jaw clenching and "clamping" is a common side-effect of Ecstasy and many people get relief by chewing on dummies or gum, smoking cigarettes or sucking on lollipops. Users may also experience muscle cramping. Vision can become blurry.

Coming Down From Ecstasy

On come-down, you may feel physically and emotionally drained. Without the artificial stimulation of E, the body and mind can suffer from exhaustion and anxiety.

It's very important to have somewhere warm and comfortable to go back to, preferably stocked with refreshments, and gentle 'chill' music. General health and regularity of use play a very large part in the harshness of the after-effects.

Ecstasy is rapidly broken down by the liver but about 60% enters the urine unchanged. The urine could be drunk to recycle it, in the same way that Siberian tribesmen drink each other's urine after eating magic mushrooms. This is known in most circles as 'desperate'.

Effect of X-TC on the Brain

E causes (5-hydroxytryptamine or 5-HT) and dopamine to flood the brain. Both are neurotransmitters which influence the flow of information throughout the brain. Changing the balance between the two changes your mood. Ecstasy gives you a glow of well-being, happiness, empathy, euphoria, increases your sensitivity to rhythmic music, and makes you want to dance.

The latest studies show that Ecstasy use can impair the serotonin system and memory performance. Research conducted on subjects who had used E on a couple of hundred occasions showed that people who use the drug had suffered brain damage. The level of brain damage users experience is directly proportional to the number of times the drug was used.

The brain damage found among X-TC users involved the cells responsible for releasing serotonin in the brain. An imaging technique known as Positron Emission Tomography (PET) was used to study the brains of a group of Ecstasy users. Researchers found that the number of healthy serotonin cells in the participants' brains was between 20-60 percent lower than normal. This type of change in the normal level of cells in the brain accounts for the memory loss that long-term users of E may experience.

Side Effects of Ecstasy Use

Here's one side effect when you use ecstasy: your heart will beat faster, you begin to sweat because your body temperature is rising. The other side effects are confusion, depression, insomia, amnesia, hallucinations, paranoia and panic attacks.

Long term side effects are the following: dehydration, hypertension, hyperthermia, heart failure and kidney failure. A small number of E users experience liver damage as a result of their drug use. The fact that Ecstasy increases body temperature may be the cause of this health issue.

The Invention of LSD

LSD was first synthesized on November 16, 1938 by Swiss chemist Albert Hofmann in Sandoz Laboratories in Basle, Switzerland. However, it was a few years before Albert Hofmann realized what he had invented. LSD known as LSD-25 or Lysergic Acid Diathylamide is a psychoactive hallucinogenic drug.

LSD-25

LSD-25 was the twenty-fifth compound developed during Albert Hofmann's study of amides of Lysergic acid, hence the name. LSD is considered a semi-synthetic chemical, the natural component of LSD-25 is lysergic acid, a type of ergot alkaloid that is naturally made by the ergot fungus, a synthesizing process is necessary to create the drug.

LSD was being developed by Sandoz Laboratories as a possible circulatory and respiratory stimulant. Other ergot alkaloids had been studied for medicinal purposes, for example, one ergot was used to induce childbirth.

LSD - Discovery as a Hallucinogen

It was not until 1943 that Albert Hofmann discovered the hallucinogenic properties of LSD. LSD has a chemical structure that is very similar to the neurotransmitter called serotonin. However, it is still not clear what produces all the effects of LSD.
According to a Road Junky writers, "Albert Hoffman deliberately dosed himself [after a milder accidental dose] with just 25 mg, an amount he didn't imagine would produce any effect. Hoffman got on his bicycle and rode home [from the Lab] and arrived in a state of panic. He felt he was losing his grip on sanity and could only think to ask for milk from the neighbors to counter the poisoning."

Albert Hoffman's Trip

Albert Hoffman wrote this about his LSD experience, "Everything in the room spun around, and the familiar objects and pieces of furniture assumed grotesque, threatening forms. The lady next door, whom I scarcely recognized, brought me milk… She was no longer Mrs. R., but rather a malevolent, insidious witch with a colored mask.”

Sandoz Laboratories, the only company to manufacture and sell LSD. first marketed the drug in 1947 under the trade name Delysid.

LSD - Legal Status

It is legal to buy Lysergic acid in the U.S. However, it is illegal to process Lysergic acid into lysergic acid diethylamide.

LSD

What is LSD?

LSD stands for: Dextro lysergic acid diethylamide tartarate-25. It is a man made drug. It was a little known curiosity up to a few years ago. Toda LSD is among the most potent -and most lethal- of the dangerous drugs. It is as Time magazine described it, "a brain eater"

It is non-addctive. But like opium and heroin, it is very hazardous, very dangerous. it is at the top of the psychedelic ladder.

LSD is so potent, laboratory test show, that a single ounce can gie 300,00 doses. It is 100 times more powerful than cocaine or peyote. A pin point of LSD is enough to blast a user's mind off to an uncertain journey.

It affects the central nervous system primaly. It works, therefore, in the brain. It creates, in its action, changes in the user's mood and behavior, perception and sensation.

LSD is aken orally. But it is also injected. Its effects last as long as 72 hours.

How Is LSD Taken?

LSD is usually taken orally. But it is also injected.

It is put in sugar cubes, candies, cookies, asperins, bufferins, colored tablets, liquor, bread and backs of postage stamps when taken orally.

It is not a quick-action drug, except when "mainline~' or injected into a vein and blood stream. When taken orally, it takes effect within 20 minutes to one hour; when injected, it activates in several minutes.

Its effects last as long as 72 hours.

Acidheads prefer to make their LSD trips out of doors (by the sea or a lake, in the mountains or woods). They also set up "sounds" (music, like Ravi Shankar's) and colors (strobe lights) when they take LSD. These make, they explain, for "good trips."

LSD, like any abuse drug's, depends upon the mood and makeup (emotional, intellectual, mental) of the abuser, the amount or dose of the drug, the atmosphere or setting in which the drug is taken. Secondly, LSD, more than any other drug, has a most unpredictable effect. Given these, it has been shown: the presence of a "sitter" or "guide" is no guarantee against trouble; "bad trips" are common in "acid" sessions where "sitters" are present.

It is a false reliance, therefore, to think that an LSD abuser, particularly the starter, is safe when he takes LSD under the guidance of a "travel guide." There, too, is the danger that the so called "guide" may not be that experienced and only worsen a "bad trip" by giving the "bad trip" victim all kinds of counteragents. What Are LSD's Common Dangers?

Hospitals have flashed "LSD dangers." These include:

Panic. An LSD user cannot stop the LSD action. He may fear he is losing his mind, especially if the LSD effect is a "bad trip." When this happens, he may panic, cause injury or death to himself.

Paranoia. The LSD user may feel someone wants to control his mind, harm or kill him. He becomes increasingly suspicious. He may hurt or kill the object of his LSD-made fear. This feeling lasts 72 hours after the LSD has worn off.
Mental Unbalance. As a result of panic and paranoia, the LSD user may get mentally unbalanced. This lasts weeks, months, even years. It requires psychiatric care to cure.
Flashback. When a flashback occurs, the LSD victim may become insane or driven to suicide. (See What Is a Flash- back? above).
Heart Failure. LSD has led to fatal convulsions. "His heart couldn't take it," as a doctor diagnosed an LSD death. It was: heart failure. Cause: LSD.

Accidental Death or Injury. When the LSD user is on a "trip," he may feel he can fly or float, leap out of a high window or tree, fall to his death. Or he may think lie is invincible, walk in front of a car and suffer injuries or even get killed.
Recently, in the U.S.: a young mother beheaded her baby. She was on a "bad trip." In another case, a young man in Brooklyn murdered his mother-jn4aw for no reason that was apparent to him after his LSD episode. In yet another case, an erstwhile "A" law student dug his eyeballs out of their sockets with his bare fingers; he was on LSD.

What Are LSD's Physical Effects?

An average LSD dose is a mere speck in size. But this small speck is powerful enough to keep the LSD user on a "trip" for 8 to 16 hours.

The physical effects are:

A speeding of heart and pulse beats.
A rise in blood pressure and body temperature.
Cold and sweaty palms; shaking of hands and feet.
A flushed face or paleness.
Widely dilated eye pupils.
Chills with goose pirnples.
Nausea, convulsions, vomiting.
Loss of appetite.
The effects disappear as the LSD action subsides.

What Are LSD's Mental Effects?

The psychological or mental effects of LSD may be divided into three groupings:

Changes in the Senses. The impact of LSD on the senses is striking: initially, the outlines of objects begin to waver and distort; in LSD's full effects, flat objects look luminous, colors appear to "run," a glow or halo may appear over another person's head. This phenomenon is a loosening of the normal boundaries of perception; the function of perceiving, organizing and interpreting sense impressions are severely affected by LSD as they reach the brain.

"Hallucinations," which LSD takers report, are among LSD's effects in this grouping. Sounds are "seen" or "felt," colors are "heard" or "tasted," objects "take life" and "pulsate," 3-D forms unfold in geometric or psychedelic patterns. It is, as Dr. Jerome Levine of the U.S. National Institute of Mental Health puts it, "a false sensory perception without a basis in external reality." In plain talk, what the LSD abuser sees, hears or feels "arises from within oneself," is not rooted in objective reality.

Changes in Emotions. Emotionally, the effect of LSD is to sharpen or exaggerate the ups and downs a person normally experiences. The usual balancing of emotions is diminished, if not totally shattered. He becomes less stable, if not completely mentally unstable. Thus, LSD abusers are given to rapid and sharp shifts of mood, like: breaking into uproarious laughter for no apparent reason, then suddenly becoming very sad and depressed over no cause.

Actually, it is all in his personality and mood. It is enhanced by the action of LSD. In the LSD state, he can be gripped by emotional chaos; he can be seized by overwhelming fright, break into irrational out bursts of temper. He has no control over his emotions; he s fueled and propelled by the "acid" in him. He can suffer, terefpre, a mental breakdown, which is common among LSD trippers.

Changes in Thinking. LSD's effects on the LSD abuser's thought processes are just as marked as on his percep- tions and emotions. His thinking is impaired, yielding: a false sense of time, disconcern about the future, altered mental images of himself and others, damaged capacity of mental recall and performance. Contrary to claims of the sc-called "priests" of LSD, LSD does not expand and, rather, restricts the range of the LSD abuser's consciousness. LSD abusers, for example, have been found to be unable to make simple arithmetical computations.

A mark of the LSD persons is: wistful thinking. They see

in their LSD experiences only what they wish to be true. This truth, their LSD truth, they hold, is the truth above all truths. It does not square off, of course, with reality; but that's how the LSD abuser, or acidhead, sees it.

How to Spot an LSD User?

An LSD user can be spotted by an alert person. Telltale signs of an LSD user are his strange behavior patterns:

Abrupt changes in personality.
Hallucinations.
Unusually profound statements involving self-awarness, God, the universe.
A sudden comprehension of life.
His physical surroundings become very important.
A widely varying mood. He may sit quietly. Or he may be seized by fear and tremor fits.
Signs are found, as well, in the LSD user's physical condition. He shows:

Widely dilated pupils.
Extreme sensitivity to light. (Thus, LSD users wear dark glasses even at night; they protect their eyes agalnst lights).
Sharp reflexes.
A marked sensitivity to colors.
A high body temperature. He gets sweaty.
Galloping hearbeat, irregular breathing.
Chills, fits, tremors.
Nausea, vomiting.
There, too, is: he looks drunk, but there is no smell of alcohol in hts breath.

Son Kite

Biography

Behind the successful production of Son Kite are Sebastian Mullaert and Marcus Henriksson. With different origins they got together in 1996 and are today working full time as producers in their High-Hat Studio in Malmoe, Sweden.

What has made Son Kite such a success? Here’s a little view of their backgrounds that has for sure shaped them as producers. Sebastian started to play the organ at the age of eight, which also led him on to taking piano lessons.

He was still playing the organ when he started to play the violin at the age of nine and he continued to play these two instruments until he was around 17. During this time he played in different ensembles, took lessons in how to play other instruments, gave lessons in how to play the violin and so on. So until the age of 17 one could say that he followed the path of a classical musician. The change came the same year when Sebastian and 4 friends formed a pop band called DIM, where Sebastian played the violin using effects to create sounds, which resemble the electronic sounds that he makes today. They made a couple of demos but a difference in ambition to take the music to a new level led to a split up after three years.

Marcus was never into playing instruments but he was very into listening to music and unlike Sebastian he has been into electronic music since his very first record.

It was synth such as Kraftwerk and Human League which he stuck with til the beginning of the 90´s as the whole thing was turned upside down when he went to his first techno party.

Crystal Matrix

Biography

The story of this project starts at the end of 2008th year. A young musician - M. Crystalis (also known as Gnevomir, DEMON ShineGami and ZAN de Jaquio) leaves the band named ЯВЬ (YAV') and begins to work on his own projects.

He was very inspired by some experimental electronic artists (such as Complex Numbers and Unreal). The influence was really strong, so he decided to try working in this genre too. First, a project called "The Matrix" was created (but in the middle of 2010th year the name was changed to "Crystal Matrix").

It was dicided to choose some mysterious and unusual themes for compositions, such as: space, time, Universe and even secrets of a human's mind. And then almost two years have passed. The work was hard and results were good enough. So the author dicided that time has come to make a full and proper album of Crystal Matrix. Then he moved to Kharkov and the hardest part of the work started. All the material was arranged, reworked and mastered at MoonHome Studio in summer of 2010th year. So as a result, the debut album was created and called "Far Away From Earth".

The album includes 9 instrumnetal electronic tracks and is available for free downloading. After that M. Crystalis continued his musical experiments and modifications. New tracks were made at an entirely new level of arrangement and sound. And some texts were written for female vocals as planned. So in December of 2010th year all the new material was ready for making a second album. And again - there was a lot of hard work at MoonHome studio. It lasted three long months. But in March of 2011th year it was finally over. A brand new album was ready to conqer people's hearts. Unlike first fully-instrumental album the second one included four instrumental tracks and four songs.

An ideal balance... Truly, the Crystal Matrix project (and M. Crystalis himfelf) has reached a new level of music making craft (but the old themes and atmosphere has remained). The new album contains a lot of trance sequences, some 8-bit samples, a little of Synth Gothic elements etc. Also it includes a cover version of the great song "Kämpfe, Sailor Moon!" (originally performed by Super Moonies). M. Crystalis has rearranged it and made a new text (in English). Enjoy!

Fungus Funk

Biography

Fungus Funk is Serge Prilepa.
Ever since Russian-Ukrainian born and Moscow based Sergey Prilepa began writing psytrance in 1998 and started putting out tracks as FUNGUS FUNK back in 2001, releasing over the years on such fine labels as Acidance, Discovalley, Crystal Matrix, Deja Vu, Noize Conspiracy, Temple Twisters and many others, people have been screaming for more and more.

"F People", the debut full length album from this Russian producer, came out on Acidance. Overflowing with groovy basslines, aggressive synths, warm melodious pads and signature psychedelic atmospheres it was very well received by everyone in the global psytrance community. Sergey's music was described as a masterful balance of complex textures and arrangements that lead the listener through an intricate journey of that hazy period of time between night and morning. Sergey's second monster of an album titled "Vostok 1" came out on the highly regarded Russian-Aussie label Blitz Studios; the album was written together with another Russian psytrance producer - Samadhi.

This album once again firmly re-established Fungus Funk as a true master of psychedelic trance. Fungus Funk's 3rd album Electric Grooves came out 2 years later, in April 2010, on his usual home base Blitz Studios and surely once again caused waves of admiration in the global scene.

Many wicked performances throughout the world followed Fungus Funk's initial appearance on the global trance scene some years ago. Today Fungus Funk is a very respectable figure among the top-notch psytrance producers of the planet, playing such huge parties as Boom Festival in Portugal, Sonica Festival in Italy and Transcendence Festival in Brazil to name just a few.... The Fungus Funk revolution is most definitely here… You have been warned!!!
