The free compilation Subatomic Evil is the first release from Nuclear Force Recordings, a newly founded label based in Moscow, Russia. Featuring artists previously heard on SamowareZ and Grimorium Verum, the style is firmly entrenched in the darkpsy underground. DJ Skylander and DJ Magnetic joined forces to compile the material for Subatomic Evil, which is released as a “non-stop” mix with seamless fades between tracks. For DJs and fans of high-energy underground psytrance, Subatomic Evil offers a solid selection of killer beats.

Andes Trip is the first freely distributed release from Neurotrance Records, an organization based in La Paz, Bolivia. Compiled and mastered by Erofex, with art by Heidacraft, Andes Trip features nine ripping tracks primarily attributed to Bolivian artists. The style is an intense form of full-on psychedelic trance designed to evoke the experience of partying outdoors amongst the soaring mountains, pristine lakes, and high-altitude valleys of the Andes. As such, this compilation is another heartening reminder of the global influence of psychedelic trance culture.

The second release from Ultiva Records focuses on the dark and heavy sound of night-time psychedelic trance. Compiled by Opsy and Nino (KannibaL HolocausT), Goblins Gathering features ten scorching tunes harvested from established acts as well as several new projects. Para Halu, Ocelot, and Blisargon Demogorgon should be known to all fans of the darkpsy style, while the Argentinian projects Frantic Noise and Collapse are sure to appeal to those who already dig Megalopsy. From the newcomers, Pinganeda’s almost Sensient-like hardness is likely to impress, and Dark Elf (first heard on 06.06.06) elaborates on his increasingly distinct approach with Hot Blood. Anyone with a taste for dark psychedelic trance should give this one a spin!
