Hi there! new release 
THE SUPER PSYCHEDELIC KICK!
MEKKANIKKA - "INTOXICATED"
Looking for the uplifting psychedelic kick? Pumping tracks that scorch the ground under your feet? The juicy acid-driven dance craze? We got something for you then: MEKKANIKKA is ready to release his new album on PLANET B.E.N. RECORDS, and he’s bound to intoxicate dance floors worldwide reciting colourful tales of musical psychedelia.
Cat. No.: PBR009CD / Release Date: April 2006
“INTOXICATED” is the second solo album by the former Biodegradable, and again the Mekka full force will rock your socks off. Almost three years have passed since Nikka’s debut album on Spirit Zone was celebrated round the globe. Three years being heavily in demand on the international psy scene, pushing on the big festival main floors with his live act and DJ sets, travelling round the trance world and back. All the while still releasing numerous tracks on some of the best psychedelic labels around – such as PLANET B.E.N. RECORDS ;-)
“INTOXICATED” brings part of this journey to you. With all of his experience Nikka has taken his project to the next level, taking full advantage of new possibilities in technology as well. You will hear it in his crystal clear production, super tight rhythmic work, massive basslines, and of course in the musicality of this album, being one of the main driving forces. “What to be expected is a more full on sound, fat and juicy basslines, still uplifting and melodic with incursion into more nightish sound,” Mekkanikka states in an interview in mushroom magazine’s recent international edition (February 2006). “It seems strange for me to try to categorize music. As artists did in the past and as artists will do in the future, they experiment with their art and it may take them to a lot of different places …”
So, call it as you like, Nikka will intoxicate you anyway in the near future and take you with him ...
NICOLAS OESCH AKA NIKKA is the musical creator of the psytrance project Mekkanikka. Born in Switzerland, Nikka has been driven by music his whole life, expressing his talents at the age of eight with the piano, later in his teens attending jazz school and playing bass in punk bands around Europe. Eventually, he was led to California where he recorded local bands and began his career in audio production. Then he was introduced to the world of psytrance thru Burning Man and the infamous psytrance collective of the CCC in San Francisco, where he soon began producing and Dj.ing psytrance. In 1999, Nikka started the project of Biodegradable with Sammy Guediche (CPU) and Max Peterson (Sirus Isness), which gained quick recognition through tracks on compilations and from their album release of “Phaser” on Acid Dance Records in 2001.
Nikka then began his own super psychedelic project of Mekkanikka, releasing his debut album “Basic Tribal Pattern” in 2003 on Spirit Zone. Since then he has received lots of positive attention from international dance floors and has had about 20 releases on compilations from labels such as 3d Vision, Spirit Zone, Neurobiotic, Turbo Trance, Spliff, Agitato, Phantasm, and Materia Records - among them our compilations PLANETARY NATION Vol. 002 and GENERATION OF PSYTRANCE Vol. 001.
Mekkanikka is now living in Barcelona where he produced his second solo album “Intoxicated” and has been playing his cutting edge new sound around the world. Recently he collaborated with other psytrance artists such as Planet B.E.N., CPU, Bliss, Sirius_Isness, and Puzzle.

Feeling intoxicated ? Well I did in the past year , and here is the result. Just spent quite some time in the studio tweaking, phasing, flanging, pitchsiting sounds, and I think I have a killer result. Music for all the different time of the day and night. Kicking, uplifting, and of course musical , that is what to be expected in the new Mekka. Being influence by my environement (I reside in Barcelona, where lots of great music is beeing made at the moment) I was able to reach the next level and deliver this album.
With great help and support from local friends/producers,I started this album after working in the studio with the Inneraction duo." Intoxicated" will be ready to unleash it's power with the month of April, Hope you will enjoy it.
A personnal thank note to the poeps that made a difference, Roy Engel (Inneraction/Painkiller),Jonathan Marcow (Bliss), Samy Guediche (CPU), Nitzan Shachaf (Inneraction), Jennifer (JenZen), Max Peterson(Sirius_isness)
Again, Thanks for the support,
Keep on Trancing !!!!!
- Nikka
