September music recommendations with Benji Vaughan’s unique new studio album, a 5 track digital EP by Kalumet and Flowjob’s exciting collaborations with Sad Paradise and Motion Drive.

Benji Vaughan: Even Tundra

A full-length studio album by BENJI VAUGHAN, the artist behind Prometheus and Younger Brother (with Simon Posford) or The Zap! (with Raja Ram), among others, came out a few days ago and is a real release delicatessen in the psy-trance world. Apparently last year Benji Vaughan decided to write a solo album under his name to truly explore his own style: “Even Tundra” got released 2th September, 2013 by Twisted Records. The unique 11 track album is a deep, melancholic journey ranging from enchanting chill-out to breakbeat driven downtempo or glitchy electronica where organic sounds pair up with industrial and raw electronic music effects with ethereal vocals and enchanting melodies. Although probably never meant for party dancefloors, with the BPMs ranging from 70 to 140 it is a versatile collection of a wide variety of music with a constant deep trance vibe as a common denominator. Stay tuned for an exclusive “Even Tundra” Show by Benji Vaughan on radiOzora in the upcoming weeks!

Kalumet: Sheer Liquid Wonderment

Ex-Timecode records now called Sangoma from Germany released a digital EP by KALUMET last month. “Sheer Liquid Wonderment” is almost a mini-album with five brand new Kalumet titles on it. One of the oldest Hungarian psytrance producers, once famous for his tribal progressive style, nowadays rather fills nighttime dancefloors with his latest Suomi-inspired night psychedelic sounds. “Sheer Liquid Wonderment” brings all those quirky melodies and even some retro goatrance vibes and hypnotically pounding ryhtms. The new Kalumet EP delivers fun and twisted night psychedelic music for the fans once again and makes us even more curious of his forthcoming radiOzora show “The Shiny Whale” – to be aired next month again.

Flowjob & Sad Paradise: Darkastic

One of the most versatile Progressive acts of our scene, FLOWJOB has recently done some interesting collaboration work. Preparing his newest Prog Sessions show for radiOzora, Flowjob released a handful of new tunes to raise the excitement for his forthcoming studio album, promised to be finished and out very soon. “Darkastic” EP on Iboga Records features a banging remix of the title track made by SAD PARADISE, the brand new progressive psy-tech alterego of James Copeland aka Broken Toy from South Africa. As Sad Paradise he has also created some crazy funky re-works for Perfect Stranger, Behind Blue Eyes and E-clip earlier this year and is soon releasing his first track on Iono Records. Another Prog wizard preparing for his next full-length studio album (with lots of teasers on his Souncloud already), MOTION DRIVE also joined forces with Flowjob for an EP release on Iono Music. “Vibrating” explores the more melodic side of Flowjob and besides the versus track, it features a remix from Motion Drive’s pumping sunshine-Prog tune, The Last Jedi. Different vibes, the same level of psychedelic twists in his unique style, something that has lately become rare to find and dearly missed by Progressive lovers. Prog Sessions#3 with Flowjob in September on radiOzora, stay tuned…
