2 Label Profile: Showing alternatives to nowadays psy-trance scene, Suntrip focuses on melodic psychedelic music in all its forms. All original music ranging from melodic goa trance to melodic deep ambient are welcome! History: The label Suntrip Records was set up in the summer of 2004 by Fabien Mars, one of the founders of the Psynews.org website and Joske Anoebis, a Belgian DJ and Party-organiser. They ve been sharing the same love for melodic psychedelic trance for years. They created Suntrip to release more melodic psytrance like in the good old times, but with modern production. Filteria is one of Suntrip s headliners with 4 albums full of mind blowing tracks & uplifting psychedelic melodies. In 2009 only, the mythic Daze of Our Lives and a digital Remix album saw the light. RA, Khetzal and Goasia provide us with what Suntrip is well known for: true storytelling Goa trance albums with down and uptempo spiritual and floating melodies. Afgin and Merr0w and Radical Distortion deliver pure classical Goa souns from sensitive sunrise music to massive drives and melodies! Dimension 5 s classic Transdimensional was remastered & re-issued, and it still blows dance floors! The darker side of Suntrip is embodied by Ka-Sol with a perfect mix between melodic, dark & twisted soundscapes. At the opposite, Electrypnose, known worldwide, also joined Suntrip for an ambient album. Suntrip released 6 compilations as well, featuring talented artists within the Goa and Ambient scenes as well as new talents. Praising morning trance melodies or acidic neuron smashers, each Suntrip compilation offers a unique thematic experience. Recently, E-Mantra and Antares, both increasingly popular in the scene, offered dawn-to-dusk acidic journeys, featuring mystical to intricate atmospheres. Recent Releases: SUNCD18: VA Energy Waves (March 2010) SUNCD19: VA Temple of Chaos (May 2010) SUNCD20: Electrypnose Sweet Sadness (nov 2010) SUNCD21: Antares - Exodus (mar 2011) SUNCD22: Artifact303 Energy Waves (may 2011) Album Profile: E-Mantra, aka Emanuel Carpus, from Romania is one of the biggest stars of the modern melodic Goa-trance movement. Two years ago he released his highly acclaimed debut album Arcana on Suntrip Records, and was immediately called to play everywhere, including Antaris project 2011, and we are now ready for a magical follow-up! Twisted, hypnotic, even ominous at times and yet filled with magical melodies... Describing E-Mantra s unique style is hard. Making both Goa-trance and Ambient he showcases the best of the best on Pathfinder! The album starts with Pathfinder and Metamorphic Resonance, two deep entrancing tracks with a straight drive, which slide gently into dancefloor madness, with acidic twirls covered up by sweet enchanting melodies. In the second part of the album, melodies take the lead to give the tracks a highly hypnotic shape. A trippy remix of the anthem Dansul Ielelor is followed by Valley of the Kings, a hymn to euphoric eastern melodies, while Distant Signals and Afterglow make you dive into the deep mental side of E-Mantra. The turmoil of madness completes with a relentless acidic remix of Approaching Nibiru! The album closes on two deep, floating vibrant ambient masterpieces! If you are wondering how the E-Mantra sound evolved in the last two years, this is your chance! Get ready to be propelled into E-Mantra s universe! Last but not least, Artifact 303 rocked the scene last spring with his Back to Space debut album, considered everywhere as a masterpiece!
