Friday June 26th an excellent event will be organised in Belgium's capital Brussels. Psytrance events in Brussels are still rather rare, so take advantage of this one. Dimensional will host two areas: oldschool and full on. The venue is the exquisit Brussels Event Brewery. On the line-up we find aritsts as Future Prophecy, Liquid Flow, Radical Distortion, Agneton, Chakras, Inada, Echotek, Cosmo Circle and N3xu5. And of course not to forget the ones that Dacru is sending into the battle: Chronos (playing their very first time on the European continent!), Nemesis and Bonas.
With volume 5 coming soon, the Isratrance crew has upped a review of the previous one: Orientation Vol.4. Read it below:
It’s time for another compilation from Dacru Records concentrating on pure melodic full on. Most of these tunes sound massive, and when I mean massive I mean deep rolling bass lines with lots of shifts, huge melodies and a general feeling in some tracks of a newer Astral Projection. Lots of remixes here too, 4 of the 10 tracks are remixes. With most I don’t even know the originals, so I can’t go into a lot of detail here. Peace Maker’s remix to U-Recken vs. Nitro’s Eternity (T3), for example, is so massive and melodic that I can’t imagine the original being better. But, as I said, I never heard the original so I can’t really judge. What I like about this compilation is the fact that it manages to be melodic without becoming cheesy. The CD can bring a smile on your face, yet still retains a great psychedelic feeling throughout the tracks. The mastering brings this home too, Johannes Reigneir (Silicon Sound) has done a terrific job here, and his expertise in the full on realm can clearly be heard in the loving digital perfection he’s performed here. It was compiled by DJ Nemesis, who did a good job of making this sound like a DJ set. The tracks do have pauses between them but overall it still feels like a set. The prominent names here like Alternative Control, Gataka, U-Recken & Fatali should give you an idea of what this is all about. I’m not really going to point any favourites here because all the tracks have a certain edge to them. In this day of Israeli full on going bad with vocals and stupid experiments that don’t really help the music it’s refreshing to hear a full on compilation that does the job RIGHT. This is what this kind of music is supposed to sound like!
Recomendation: It all boils down to this. Do you like your full-on with an edge, big basslines, great melodies and lots of drive to it? Don’t hesitate and get this. It has the edge you needs.
Friday June 19th the Psysociety crew is organising the Summerpsy '09 event in Sodring, near Aarhus in Denmark. On the line-up are a few Belgian artists.

The new edition of Trancer's Guide to the Galaxy has been released recently. In the 2008 version you can find 30 in scene country profiles where trance is most effective around the globe. At Dacru records we are supporting the project with a label advertisement which can be found at page 47. You can also have a look at it by enlarging the thumb below:
Also we wouldn't want to keep the Belgian text (page 10) from you. You can read that here:
Unity and diversity in BELGIUM www.trancersguide.com/belgium
As is in the scene worldwide, there is a lot of diversity in the psy-trance genre. More and more the scene is splitting up into four or even five pieces. People tend to only visit parties with their favorite style(s). However, one massive event in 2007 proved, despite all the difficulties, which we are all part of one scene, and nothing can break that apart. 2007 showed us that our scene is rapidly expanding. But the rising costs and the big number of parties in Belgium forced promoters to ask for higher entrance rates, or to set up collaborations, in order to split the investments. Also our problems in the past with the authorities forced us to organize events in a more legal way, what also caused more investments. Nevertheless we are spoiled and every weekend we can choose from three or four parties, all focusing on a particular style. Kairoo Records and B2B, based in Antwerp, focus on full-on. They both hosted rooms/stages on two of the biggest dance events, with up to 20.000 visitors. The veterans have grown to appreciate the progressive style nowadays. The well-respected crews of Purple Snow (with founder R’Deem) and Smiley Tribe are focusing on minimal/progressive and have brought the biggest names to our country. In Ghent, one of the two trance centers in Belgium, progressive is also emerging in smaller club events. For many years we had Kairoo Records providing us quality releases and EPs. In 2007 they released the well-accepted debut album of Bitkit called Logical. Nowadays Dacru Records and Suntrip Records are taking over. 2007 proved that they have more ambition than just organizing good parties. Dacru Records released the compilation Orientation Vol. 3, a very well accepted release. For 2008 we can expect a lot of this label, with the second release of Digicult and the debut album of Ephedrix. Also newcomers Aquila and Sufi will release a full album later in 2008. On the darker side of trance we can expect the debut album of Wicked Hayo on Night Oracle Records. Suntrip Records is probably the only melodic Goatrance label nowadays on this planet. In 2007 this Belgium/France combo resulted in the rerelease of the classical Dimension 5-Transdimensional album and the debut of rising star Goasia. For 2008 they announce albums of Dimension-5 member Ra, Filteria and Merr0w. Furthermore I can only hope that we will see the rise of a mind blowing Belgium progressive act, but the future looks promising. The biggest event in 2007 should have been the fifth year of existence celebration of the Kairoo Records label. Kairoo Records invited some of the major promoters in Belgium to host rooms with full-on, progressive, oldschool/nuschool/Goa, dark and chill out. The government, due to safety issues, canceled the event after it had started already. The authorities ignored even a positive court advice, so the evening ended with hundreds of people invading the streets in Antwerp. But the event proved that there is still unity in our scene, and despite the big loss, we hope that Kairoo Records will emerge from it foundations.

RELEASE INFO:
Fresh from Dacru headquarters: Orientation Vol. 3. The newest addition to the Orientation series, again carefully selected and nourished by DJ Nemesis at Dacru's home base of Ghent, Belgium. Once more, a nice blend of established artists and new talents from Belgium hit the speakers.
Impressive tracks featured on this compilation include a remix of DigiCult's 'Leap of Faith' by DNA, Electro Sun this time being remixed by DJ Nemesis showing that quality can be maintained out of Israel as well. Another certainty for global dancefloors is Alternative Control's snappy The Punchline'. This all with Perplex' crystal production sprinkled 'On Top'.
Each of these artists are delivering some of their best work, certified to get plenty of airtime at dancefloors around the world. As usual a strong dose of homegrown Dacru talent isn't far away. Ephedrix, already participating in all Orientations, hits the spot once more in their trade marked style. New Dacru additions Aquila, confirming after the previous compilation and Sufi with his debut release show that the future of Belgian full on is in good hands.

World Bridger festival in Cuernavaca December 29th °°
-
The last Friday of the year, December 29th, we'll see the World Bridger festival happening in Cuernavaca. On the line-up we find DigiCult, Nemesis, Oonah and some other interesting names as Inner Mind, Hamelin, Farbo, Guillik & Dosantos, Hisrav, .... For more info on the party you can always take a look in the upcoming DigiCult agenda.
For New Years Eve we'll get the sweetest thing in this Mexico tour: a beach festival in Puerto Vallarta, on the Pacific side of Mexico. The party is organised in good tradition by the well known Massive Trance crew. And they present an excellent line-up! We'll witness Electro Sun, Bizzare Contact, Cosmic Tone, DigiCult, Reefer Decree, The Atari's, Han Solo, Antigravity, Nemesis & Oonah, Nino and many more of course. For all info you can follow this direct link. See you all in Puerto Vallarta for this one!!!
Tuesday December 26th in Cancun is the next event in the Mexico tour. Again it's Nemesis and Oonah who'll be giving the best of themselves behind the decks. Place of the event is a roofless bar/club named Basic. It stands on an island in the lagoon behind the Cancun coast line in the hotel zone. The organisation is being put together by Basic and Psycun.
The pictures from the Merida party this last Friday have been uploaded to the website. Just visit the pictures section and navigate to Mexico Tour 2006 to find them. It turned out to be a very strange but pleasant night. The party was stopped for some time because of heavy rains and the Inferno bar where the party was happening first was open air. But luckily the party continued afterwards at some other location very closeby!
The Bacab party in Palenque was simply amazing! Great location and an outstanding vibe. The pictures are really cool and will show you what the party was like and of course some random Palenque pictures are included. For all party info you can visit the website by clicking here. Thanks a lot to the organising crews for everything!
The Black Solstice festival which was to take place this weekend in Puerto Progreso near Merida was cancelled just a couple of days ago. Despite of this unfortunate thing we will make the best of our time in Merida and tomorrow Friday December 22nd there will be a small event in a bar called Inferno. Nemesis and Oonah will play dj sets alongside some Mexican talents such as Niño Magico, Marvelous and Charlie Goa. With the entrance you get an open bar! That sounds nice....
Some pictures from the Tlaxcala party organised by Mayabeat are online in the picture gallery. Unfortunately they are not that great since it was really dark during the party and we were unable to make some nice pictures. The location itself was pretty nice though. It was outdoor and the dancefloor was surrounded by a canyon at three sides! Thanks to Luís, Armando and all the others for an excellent gathering.
DJ Juggler from Portugal has written a review of the Orientation Vol. 2 compilation for the Chaishop website. Read it at their website or just check below.
Review:
For celebrating his 5 years working in trance scene, Dacru Records bring the second volume of Orientation series...
Track 1 by Chromosome starts the compilation in a mellow and fast progressive way...it has a power bassline, some percussions mixed with harmonious synth sounds, some vocals with effects...
Track 2 by Aquila has a strong and groovy kick bass line, very agressive and rhythmic...some melodies going in and out, good breaks, nice morning feeling.
Track 3 is a collaboration by Digicult and Ephedrix...is a bit more fast (148 bpm) and more agressive, althrough it has that morning feeling too...groovy and strong bassline, some spacial melodies, perfect for a big summer festival.
Track 4 by System Failure is my favourite here...it has a really killer kick bass line, some digital and electrifying melodies, really nice construction, perfect :)
Track 5 is a remix of the well known Avenida de Bélgica by Perplex...it has that Perplex’s groovy bassline, nice and simple synth sounds, some classic guitar riffs, I like it.
Track 6 is another remix, this time Solar System remixing Voyager from Bamboo Forest...this one is very fulfilling, it has some psy tunes, open hihats, some vocal samples, very psychedelic.
Track 7 by Electro Sun is another dancefloor fullon bomb...strong kick bassline, beautiful morning melodies, great energetic breaks, Electro Sun’s style :)
Track 8 is done by Didrapest and is a bit more psychedelic...it has a deep and groovy bass line, some pacific and open psy sounds going around and a nice and solid construction.
Track 9 by Twilight continues in the same style but this time with a more pacific kick bass line...it takes you into a kind of a synthetic morning soundscape, with some quiet arpeggios going in and out.
Track 10 is a collaboration of Digicult with Dj Oonah and is a bit more fast...I think that they could choose a track with less bpms for ending the compilation...aside from this, it has some uplifting melodies, a fast and groovy bass, rhythmic and danceable.
I think this second volume of Orientation shows the kind of sound that we can expect by Dacru Records, morning and psychedelic fullon for killing worldwide dancefloors :)
Saturday December 16th we'll see the 5th party in this Mexico tour, that means we've reached the halfway point. Place of party this time is the magical Palenque, a place with some of the most impressing mayan ruins. The location is a big open field next to a ranch with full view of the jungle and also the top op te highest construction at the archelogical site can be seen. Furthermore the party location has 2 swimming pools on site to make it even more amazing! On the line-up we find next to DigiCult, Nemesis and Oonah two interesting Israeli live acts: Bliss and Painkiller. The organisation of the party is taken care of by the Baaxten crew and Kolectiva crew. For all info you can take a look in the DigiCult upcoming agenda or take a look at the very nicely done party website by clicking here.

On Saturday December 9th we reach the next stage in the Mexico tour of 2006. Just like last year we'll be joining the Mayabeat team in a party in Tlaxcala, Mexico's smallest state. The name of the party is Avenida de Bélgica tour 2006 and it will be held outdoors in a field next to a forest. On the line-up we find of course our own boys DigiCult, Nemesis and Oonah and others like Interspace, Golu, Andoendo and so on. If things turn out like they did last year then we're in for a wasted party!
Also the pictures of the Cabo San Lucas party from the past weekend have been uploaded. You know where to find them :) The party was simply amazing! Beautiful location, great organising team and excellent people. May there be many more like this! So a very big thank you to all the people in the Trancelucid organisation who organised both the Tijuana as the Cabo San Lucas party: You Rock!!
On Saturday December 2nd we will have the third party in this Mexico tour already. Again organised by the Trancelucid crew the party will now take place in the desert at the most southern tip of the Baja California peninsula: Cabo San Lucas.

Our little Amsterdam trip turned out very nice! Dacru's 5th anniversary was celebrated in a proper way and the music of our new release went down very well! To see some pictures of the party and the bus ride you need to visit the pictures section on this website. Thanks to Glenn and Jonas for their contributions. We'd like to thank the people that joined us in the trip, our lovely artists, Benjamin and the Trance Mafia gang and all the people who've supported us the last 5 years. See you all again in 2007!
Just as the Orientation Vol. 2 gets released we've got another fine review from the first volume made by Psytrance TV. On their website go to 'videos' and then 'PTTV15' (the November episode) or use this direct link (right click, save target as).
