I have a love/hate relationship with House and Psytrance.
See, House is kind of like the glam rock of electronic music and Psytrance is the electronic equivalent of prog rock. House, glam rock, Psytrance and prog rock are all over dramatic genres of music. House and glam for its melodrama and Psytrance and prog rock for its pomposity, which I really have to be in the mood to listen to because I usually find that kind of stuff a little overbearing.
PsyBooty Records pulls off the neat trick of combining what I love most about House and PsyTrance.
Continuing with the whole House/glam rock analogy, what I love about those two genres is that they’re incredibly sexy. And what I love in Psytrance and prog rock is their ability to sonically transport you to other realms. PsyBooty Records has the knack of picking artists who craft music that is at once very sensual and psychedelic.
I first found out about PsyBooty Records while listening to their music on the Fake Science podcast and instantly became a fan of the label. I’ve wanted to do a show all about PsyBooty since launching solipsistic NATION and I’m amazed that it’s taken this long to finally get David Justin, the label’s manager, on the show. On the other hand, it’s a perfect example of how many music labels are putting out such great music that it’s taken me this long to have David as a guest on solipsistic NATION.
This week’s show is longer than usual because David gave me two CDs of music he wanted me to play. He knows that solipsistic NATION typically runs an hour, plus or minus a few minutes, and told me to feel free to delete tracks from his mix. But in the end, I said to hell with it. I figured that since David went through all that trouble and since all the music is fantastic it would be worth it to go long this week. Besides, since solipsistic NATION is a podcast I don’t always have to be locked in to clocking the shows in at around 60 minutes. Enjoy!
