Glossolalia: Energy Momentum


A lullaby for the vernacular




It’s not a track, it’s a song. Whereas Dragon masters the beauty of structure, Glossolalia masters the structureless. He applies stress to the listener initially, relieves it, and melts the tension into a really pretty space. The piece moves through vexing worlds with calmness. It takes a handful of listens to gain any phonological footing here or to pinpoint any particulars in the energy momentum that gently pushes and pulls at the listener's psyche. One is fully engulfed in om-motion, emotion, and a sort of anti-motion. Don’t pass away from this universe without listening to this song, or anything from this artist for that matter.

Glossolalia means speaking in tongues.
He is the humble Martin Biderman from Argentina.

Dragon: Full Artist Review


Fractal-tidal-travel trance




Familiar to quality darkpsy but drastically distinguishable, Dragon psytrance masters the beauty of the Fibonacci structure through symphonic storytelling. These are professionally-crafted works with tangible elements: layers of moving colors and golden ratios that awaken and mesmerize. The visual art and album/track nomenclature David often choses to accompany the music resemble it to a T.

The best album by far by Dragon (aka David Scruggs) of Florida, USA, is In.Formation. 
It's my favorite psytrance album.

Synthetic Forest: Min Egen Lilla Värld


Absolute favorite forest elements :via: techtrance style


Click Here to Listen or Download
Dark and heavy with extra thick bass, these three German gems are immediately trance-dance invoking, never letting go until the end... except with a few perfectly placed breaks. Mother nature schooled wood nymphs and black toads on music theory, and they composed this extraordinary trio of tracks sure to be played religiously by forest-heads and non-forest-heads alike, especially that last piece.

Synthetic Forest is the project of Sasch of Stuttgart, Germany.
EP Release: 2011

Grouch: Tree of Life Festival 2012


Forest psy dressed up sexy, went to the club, and had chamomile tea.



Call it minimal forest techtrance with glitch fringes and subtle allusions to familiar genius. This high quality mix with some production is house dirty in peripheral but most definitely lost in trance. Careful, she gets dark in there. You'll know when!

The Grouch resides in New Zealand.

Vegenaut: Vegemix


No matter the knots, but the Naut.



Smooth-sailing minimal tech in whimsical robot play true to classic, almost fetal synth, rolling in psychedelic surprises ranging from the animalistic to the ghetto-tronic to the aquatic. All fit in respectfully with the clean, spacey vibe and mellow disco-trance seascape. The pun on produce reflects the playful intelligence of the music itself.

This work is by my friend, Nick Dolan, who used to live in College Station, TX and now travels the desserts of the southwest US.
