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. He released 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. Khetzal, Goasia, and RA provided us with what Suntrip is well known for: true storytelling Goa trance albums with down and uptempo spiritual and floating melodies. The darker side of Suntrip is embodied by Ka-Sol, as he has a perfect mix between melodic, dark and twisted soundscapes. Dimension 5 s classic Transdimensional was remastered & re-issued, and it still blows dance floors! In 2009, Afgin and Merr0w both released their debuts. From sensitive sunrise music to massive drives and melodies! Later Radical Distortion also showed the perfect mix between modern analog productions and classic old school Goa sounds. In November 2009, E-Mantra's album drove us to a little more acidic, and darkish atmospheres. Finally, in 2010 Electrypnose released an ambient album on Suntrip! Recent Releases: ) SUNCD16: Radical Distortion Psychedelic Dreams (October 2009) SUNCD17: E-Mantra Arcana (Nov2009) SUNDG01: Filteria Remixes + Unreleaseds (Dec 09) SUNCD18: VA Energy Waves (March 2010) SUNCD19: VA Temple of Chaos (May 2010) SUNCD20: Electrypnose Sweet Sadness (nov 2010) Album Profile: Antares, aka Simon Felix, is an 18 year old Belgian melodic goa trance talent! He showcased his talent before on some compilations and is now ready to blow you away with his magical storytelling debut-album called Exodus! His music can be best described as pure sensitive spiritual goa-trance with an acidic edge. His fairytale starts with Exodus, which is a slow and deep downtempo intro track. It is followed by the progressively building morning monster Mysticism. After that the energy rises and Aurum Solis is a great uplifting goa-trance track. In the 4 th Dimension and Dreaming Universe we get loads of acid 303 s on top of the goa-trance melodies which results in twisted dancefloor monsters... After that we go back into the floating style with Mount Meru and specially Astral Plane that are pure morning trance gems. The album ends in beauty with a soft downtempo track called Sun Sacntuary! Lovers of melodic goa-trance will feel pure joy while listening this album and we at Suntrip think this artists fits perfect in the row of our other spiritual goa trance producers such as Ra or Khetzal! But that s not all, Suntrip released 6 compilations as well: Apsara and Twist Dreams gathered famous melodic Goa Trance producers and new talents. Opus Iridium celebrated our 10th release, featuring the most talented artists within the Goa and Ambient scenes. Sundrops got also highly acclaimed. 2010 Started with a dual compilation: Energy Waves praised morning trance melodies whereas Temple of Chaos exploded acidic soundscapes!
