Grecian psy trance god of all things hard, dark and acidic, El Mahico gets ultra-spiritual and brings out his 'Quantum Shamanics' for this esoteric EP of awesomeness.
Taking off with what's got to be one of this summer's most euphoric party anthems, 'Aliens in Thailand' launches straight into an incredibly mind-bending journey that will have the dancefloor projecting to the closest planet they can find and making friends with everyone and everything they connect with. Capturing the sheer elation and chaos of a Thai psy trance dancefloor, this super-psychedelic celebration has the right balance of light, dark and wonky, with loads of squelches and effects to keep us on our toes and shaking our booties.
It's on 'Shiva Drum' where the magical one really unleashes his sonic sorcery, the deep acidic basslines contrasting with the beautiful uplifting ethnic lyrics and tribal melodies to create a primal incantation powerful enough to awake the god himself. The dancefloor will be saying their prayers as the god of destruction is set free to wreak havoc and transform any party to the next level.
There's no f*cking around on 'Banzai': it's dark and dirty A Grade psy trance of the most hallucinogenic proportions. This psychedelic war cry surely captures the sheer hedonism of any squat or warehouse party and is guaranteed to get the party started as soon as it's dropped.
With this debut EP on Free-Spirit Records El Mahico lives up this his moniker and casts his magic over three absolutely banging tracks. But as the title 'Quantum Shamanics' suggests, there's a lot more going on behind the scenes and some very powerful forces at work that suggest you should definitely have this EP cued up for the festival season and beyond.
If you haven’t heard of the UK trance label Free-Spirit by now, you soon will… the brainchild of Milan born label manager, Jay OM, who in 2004 conceived the vision of a network of like-minded artists in the psy-trance and ambient genres, all working to promote themselves and each other under one banner and thus the Free-Spirit label was born… Originally intended to focus on artist management, the label’s skyrocketing success, combined with the enthusiasm of Jay, the artists, and fans, enabled Free-Spirit to outgrow its horizons. Free-Spirit continues to build a collective of artists and djs from the world aiming to create and provide access to a combined set of resources not available to them as individuals, making it just a little easier for them all to concentrate on what they truly love, the music!
