Release Date: 15th May 2006
Organic Records has been grooving and shaking the global psy-trance scene since 1997 with such successes such as their Tsunami Benefit triple CD album, which has raised nearly £10,000 to help victims of the disaster, to the pairing of the minds of Colin OOOD and Andrew Humphries into Voice of Cod, whose debut album We Are Free topped charts recently. Organic's latest endeavor, Psymeditation 2, will be no exception to this trend, and the track list speaks for itself! This compilation takes on a bit of a ‘tribal’ feel and brings you into a world of deep meditative vibrations. Featuring Chris Organic, under his new moniker Organic Substance, who has teamed up here with a technological innovator in chill-out music, Pale Moon Rising in a dubby masterpiece with twisting synths and percussions sending you in and out of a dreamstate. Next comes Noodream, once part of the legendary Dragonfly label, with ‘Open the Doors to your Heart’, a dub-laden melodic journey through your mind. Ganja Beats, formerly known as Alien Mutation and Shamanic Tribes on Acid, who’s album 'Paradise and Tranquility is still highly requested and acclaimed, his ultra chill mix on this CD shows why! Lemon Tree delivers an ethno-alien tribal groove with beautiful flamenco guitar melodies by band mate Mark Kingsley. Perpetual Loop, Organic's latest catch, delivers a dreamy soundscape with a maiden album soon to hit shelves and Organics Unconscious Collective, which is the outlet for the non-trance output of trance veterans OOOD, with ‘A New Way Of Thinking’ showing their multi-genre talent with this composition. Last but not least up-and-coming artists from Liquid Records… Slackbaba, who puts forth a remix of ‘Drink More Tea’ which will draw the listener through a labyrinth of pulsing rhythms and mind-altering sonic states and Nagual Sound Experiment, a musical geneticist fusing roots and electronic sounds delivers a dub packed psybreaks beauty. Indeed, the past successes of the artists on this eclectic pan-genre lineup are testament to the fact that Organic has been ahead of the curve of 21st century chillout music for some time, and Psymeditation 2 cannot to be missed... this album is a cleanly produced, energized variety pack of audio chocolates sure to sate the appetites of electronica fans from psy-trance to IDM, drum and bass, world beat and so many others. The album has been mastered by Chris Organic, utilizing his patented 32bit sonic manipulation technique. Were sure you’ll be able to hear the difference: a much greater sense of depth in the stereo field while at the same time enhancing the central bass groove. All mixes are exclusive to this compilation.

Artist Profiles
Perpetual Loop is Organic Record’s latest catch, Charles Massey is a classically trained pianist and cellist, and has developed a very unique style of ambient/world/dub trance especially for Organic. Perpetual Loop has released previously on Rumour Records, and Organics first Psymeditation. His debut album “Universal Flow” will be released next on Organic Chill later this year.
Noodream is the chilled project by Darren Evans, manager of Dragonfly Records in their heyday. The Noodreem project resulted in well received tracks on the Mana Medicine compilation (Liquid Sound Design 2001), and on Interchills “Arcana” released earlier this year. Working as an engineer in a South London studio, Darren has teamed up with some reknown Indian Musicians and raised his production skills many notches to provide Organic with this very special treat.
Organic Substance is Chris Organics chill moniker and you can rest assured you will hear more coming from him in the future. His first chill release “Tribal Faith” has been released on several comps, and here he uses his reknown recording skills to give us a deep, solid groove overlaid with lush dreamscape sounds, plus sweet melodies and guitars from collaborator Pale Moon Rising. Chris is a qualified and experienced mastering engineer, mastering all of Organic Records releases his own patented 32-bit, 3-dimensional sonic manipulation technique.
Slackbaba is the work of Brighton-based producer Jonathan Smith. A familiar name at parties in London and around the UK, his music is at the forefront of the new wave of British psychedelic artists. His skills of sound manipulation and organic instrumentation present a new take on psychedelic electronica, combining quality production and skillful musicianship with an ability to cross genres tastefully. Jonny's debut album 'and the beat goes om', will be released on Liquid Records in May '06.
Nagual Sound Experiment (NSE) is the dub project of Brighton based electronica and roots producer DJ Cameron Leonard-Schroff aka psybreaks pioneer Mood Deluxe. After spending five years working as a music technology teacher at LACS and ICM and as a freelance engineer and programmer within the Los Angeles music industry, Cameron returns to the UK to begin his career as a recording artist with Liquid Records. 2006 will see the release of both the debut Mood Deluxe and NSE. His Sound Design has been used in commercials, film and multimedia gaming including credits from Discovery Channel, SciFi Channel, Disney, Inside Cinema, Nike and numerous indie films. Cameron has also recently completed his first feature length film score to a soon to be unleashed hi energy Japanese manga/ anime.
Unconscious Collective is the outlet for the non-trance output of OOOD and have performed live at Liquid Connective parties and the Glade festival, where their set included live drums, guitar, keyboards and three vocalists. In addition to their collaborative studio tracks with Ramsay, Steve, Ryo and Colin all write solo music under the UC banner. 'A New Way of Thinking' is Colin's experiment into the alternative composition techniques offered by an early beta version of AudioMulch, a modular composition and sound design environment developed by the Australian Ross Bencina (http://www.audiomulch.com). It was then mixed in Cubase where extra parts were also added, including the haunting piano melody at the end, which was recorded in one take."
Lemon Tree are a proudly British band; Paul Bacon was once part of a punk outfit featured on the John Peel show, now teamed up with Little River's recording engineer/ flamenco guitarist Mark Kingsley as atmospheric chill band Lemon Tree. They have released previously on Chris Organic's compilations on both Rumour Music and the first Psymeditation, a track on there so legendary it has had them as one of the most requested live chill bands on the festival circuit, including Sonica in Italy.
Ganja Beats is the dub offshoot of one of chill-out music’s crowned Princes, producer/artist/musician Jake Stephenson, also once known as Shamanic Tribes on Acid, one of the original uk psychedelic trance bands, also as Alien Mutation, Crystal Moon and Dr Psychedelic. His debut album ‘Ganja Beats’ released last year is still steadily selling copies today! Jake was involved in the psychedelic scene from the mid/late 80's primarily in the psych rock band paperhouse who were well known for their electrifying gigs. Jake has released on many trance compilations and labels such as Kinetix, Waveform, and previously on Organics Psymeditation and the limited edition Tsunami Benefit CD.
We are also looking for quality promoters and production crews worldwide to host Organic Chill CD launch events. We can also offer an Organic Records Label party. If you are interested, feel free to contact Robin@triskelemanagement.com to discuss what’s on offer.
Love and Light,
Robin
