Live jam battle between masters of retro psychedelic blues.
Brujas del Sol – Moonliner Vol. 1 (2012)
“Brujas del Sol is an instrumental 3-piece from Colombus, Ohio.They make “music that makes people dance, bang their heads and plug their ears”. This band plays absolutely stunning psychedelic/desert rock filled with atmosphere & hypnotic grooves (think Causa Sui, 35007, Ten East, Yawning Man, Wooden Shjips).”

01 – Cosmic Rhythm #1

Rhyton – Rhyton (2012)
“Rhyton is a band that features Dave Shuford (No Neck Blues Band), D. Charles Speer, Jimy SeiTang (Psychic Ills), and Spencer Herbst (Messages, Matta Llama) improvising their way through fields of psychedelic rock. Rhyton pours out a sonic libation unto the liberated world. Waveforms ring out, alternately frozen and blazing, wrenched from an improvisational method.”

01 – Midnight Mode
02 – Burning Bush

It’s Not Night: It’s Space – Bowing Not Knowing to What (2012)
Pyramidal – Dawn in Space (2012)
“Pyramidal is a Psychedelic / Space-Rock band from Alicante, Spain. Their influences come from progressive and hard rock bands of the 70s such as Hawkwind, Can, Black Sabbath, Amon Duul II, Captain Beyond or Ash Ra Tempel. Born in 2010, Pyramidal’s members have a long career within the hard rock, stoner and psychedelic music scene.”
Expo Seventy – Virtually From the Unknown (2012)
“Expo ’70 is Justin Wright. He began producing this otherworldly music in 2003 while living in Los Angeles. Residing in Kansas City, Missouri now, Wright produces music that is sought after by people all over the world. Wright has toured extensively over the last decade. More recently Wright has added a drummer and bassist to the mix which has started release albums and touring as Expo Seventy.”
Koi Pond – So Higher (2012)
“Koi Pond is epic all on its own. Volcano is all about cosmic grooves, deep often minimal, endless repetitions that slowly evolve into more psyched out blissed out trances. Roper and Arons tight rhythmic foundations create the perfect backdrop for Vogal’s synth improvisations. This is a meditative listen that never gets old, it just keeps grooving on and on forever. Like Neu covering Dark Magus in a Tibetan Monastery.”
