SATOR AREPO
SATOR AREPO tenet opera rotas…. an perpetual constancy of the circular motion of the cosmic order. The project was founded in early 2006 by Dominik H. from Munich. Dominik always had a deep connection to music, being heavily influenced during his adolescence by genres such as Metal and Punk Rock, he later on started his first steps in music production and began to experiment with different styles from Hip Hop to Breakbeat. Due to his former day job, as a event engineer, he coincidentally made contact with the Psychedelic-Trance scene, what in retrospective, turned out as a game changer in his life. Since that point, he focussed passionately in creating his idea and interpretation of deep & powerful nighttime Psytrance, never afraid to explore the limits and push the boundaries in terms of style and sounddesign.
EGON’S EMBRACE
Egon’s Embrace is the brainchild of Mlađo Ivanović, a Serbian psychedelic trance producer and Parvati Records artist. For those who are new to his music, Egon’s sound is captivating, melancholic, and yet at the same time liberating sonic adventure. To describe Egon’s Embrace is to dive into the interplay between dreamy, melodic, and yet dark electronic psychedelic music. It is rare in the psychedelic music scene to captivate the human condition and experiences with startling candor, and if one is to find something that separates Egon’s Embrace from other artists, it is exactly that openness, honesty, and straightforwardness in his musical expression. In his own words, Egon’s Embrace wants “to produce something that takes him someplace otherworldly” and we at … are entranced to self-indulge in Egon’s personal catharsis. His recent release, “Every Way to Smile, Forget, and Make-believe” is an experimental psychedelic oddity, full of lush sonic landscapes and melodies that are at once beautiful and dark. It is an intriguing invitation for the audience, as its music shapes aesthetic experience into an engaging electronic aural event with layer upon layer of subtlety.

travels took him to one of the great meccas of electronic music: Goa. Night-
long DJ sets on the beaches of India, alongside avant-garde musicians who
populated the Goa trance scene from 2010 to 2015, shaped B3ING into the

Around this time, he discovered Zik, Orestis, Polyphonia and the Greek darkpsy sound. This was it, this was the sound. Cut to 20 years later and he finds himself in California still pushing Greek darkpsy and excited to find a home within the Greek darkpsy community from afar.

Viśvāmitr
My love affair with Psychedelic Trance began in 2011 in the vibrant city of Delhi. The essence of this genre brought an exhilarating spark to my life, making every day more exciting. As I navigated my day job, the sounds of Organic Desi Hi-Tech and Parvati records became my constant companions, filling my ears and soul. Though life took me away from this passion for a while, it found its way back to me in 2019. Since then, I’ve been captivated by the myriad of emotions that this seemingly straightforward genre can evoke.
In 2022, Viśvāmitr was born to share my passion for the genre. I play what I love, and I love what I play. Lately, I’ve been drawn to the darker and faster realms of Psytrance. These sounds are melodic, mystical, hypnotic, tribal, ritualistic, and yet, full of power. Psytrance makes me feel invincible, and my sets offer a glimpse into my mind and my heart. Through my music, I invite you to see the world as I see it, to feel the emotions as I feel them, and to embrace the dance as a form of meditation. Let’s embark on this journey together, where every beat is a step towards a deeper connection.
LUZIDTRIP
Arist Spotlight: Luzidtrip – Fractal Factory
Luzidtrip is the DJ project of Lucien from Germany. His first contact with the harder side of electronic music was in 2004, in the genres of hardtechno and Frenchcore. After a few years discovering the art of mixing with vinyls, his connection to spinning broke off after some significant changes in his life. In 2009, dark psychedelic trance found its way into his heart, and this deep love has stayed with him until today. In 2023, he found his way back to mixing through the influence of his closest friends, who are also heads of the Fractal Factory.
His style is an organic, groovy, and ritualistic version of dark Psy Forest, up to faster full-power dark psychedelic tribal tunes, influenced by his learning to master the wonderful instrument called hang drum/handpan and his love for the powerful medicine music of the tribes of Amazonia. He always tries to combine both, which makes his sets a spiritual tribal journey deep into the minds of the audience and brings the dancefloor into a dancing active trance meditation. For sure, there is still much more to discover and master, but the move for mixing is blooming, and his journey behind the decks has a bright future coming up.
