Ektoplazm and Escape Into proudly present The Mirror, the last release by Dan Flict and Werther Azevedo, a duo from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. After a three year hiatus Escape Into is back with their most adventurous release yet. Without the pressures of having to conform to a particular genre what emerged is a blend of freestyle electronic music with strong progressive rock influences, a style they call trip-rock. The melodies are more complex and refined than before while the tracks twist and turn unpredictably. Their use of analogue synthesizers shines through the complex arrangements bringing an organic warmth to the whole journey, making for a highly original trip through extraordinary and harmonious soundscapes. Produced with care and focus on details, it rewards repeated listens—their deepest offering yet! Mastered by Colin Bennun with artwork by Carol Porto.

This set was recorded live at Spacecamp Psyfari in Iowa, USA, on the morning of August 24th, 2014, featuring 100% Creative Commons-licensed music from Ektoplazm. I began at sunrise, transitioning from a night of hard and heavy hi-tech into full-on psychedelic morning trance by the very end, touching on darkpsy, forest, twilight, new school Goa trance, and a hint of Suomi-style madness along the way. As always this set was completely unscripted, a product of the moment. I let intuition be my guide and this adventurous romp through the many styles of upbeat psytrance is the result!

Ektoplazm and Enlight Records proudly present The Drama, the long-awaited sophomore release by the duo Dan Flict and Werther Azevedo, better known as Escape Into, from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Picking up where The Dream left off, The Drama is an explosive journey into fat and funky psychedelic trance filled with unpredictable twists and turns, uplifting melodies, and crazy harmonies. Continuing to work with an unusual mixture of influences from video game music and rock to Suomisaundi with a pinch of Goa trance, the band has successfully developed a cleaner, more focused sound without sacrificing any of the emotional punch and originality that surprised listeners so much last year. Mastered by Colin Bennun with artwork by Carol Porto.

Enlight Records presents Enlight, its first compilation showcasing new and upcoming artists from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, as well as a few tracks by overseas friends. Nodding to the multi-style compilations of the past, Enlight starts with a midtempo track, moves through progressive darkness and morning trance, turns psychedelic in the middle, and finishes with high-octane full-on. With established artists and fresh upcoming ones there is something for every taste here. Mastered by Nectarios (Disco Hooligans/Martian Arts) with artwork by Bruno Azalim.
