│ Marcus C Maichel and Jan Mueller met coincidentally, like many great │
│ partnerships, in 1989 when Marcus had technical problems with his │
│ computer and someone suggested Jan could help him. They met and decided │
│ to combine their equipment for a recording session. They worked on │
│ various projects before the birth of X.Dream in 1991. They released │
│ their first record on Hamburg's Tunnel Records which had more of a │
│ "techno" slant and preceded their interest in trance. │
│ Under a number of different pseudonyms, XME, Moondust, The Pollinator, │
│ Organic Noise, C.O.P., The Delta they released thirteen singles and two │
│ albums with Tunnel Records. │
│ Their current psychedelic direction was determined after they were │
│ hugely influenced by the first Waldheim-parties in Hamburg and they │
│ became more deeply involved in the trance underground . │
│ After releasing a 12inch , "Panic in Paradise" on TIP Records they were │
│ signed to Blueroom and their own individual brand of "space techno" came │
│ to wider attention with the excellent "Frog" 12in and cd single which │
│ stood out on the trance dance floor with it's authentic bull frog sample │
│ recorded in a Mexican desert during a mind blowing peyote session. │
│ The track reveals the sometimes childlike nature of the band as Marcus │
│ agrees ; "When Jan and me sit in the studio sometimes I have the feeling │
│ that we're like children. I think that when you want to create something │
│ new you have to play around with the equipment like a child so maybe │
│ that's why our music is like it is". They became known as the band to │
│ play at the parties that take place a global scale, spreading their │
│ sonic soundscapes throughout Europe, South Africa, Japan, USA, Israel │
│ and South America during 1997-98. They weren't inactive on the recording │
│ front either releasing two singles "Brain Forest / Stop" and "Radiohead" │
│ prior to their debut album "Radio" which was released in March 1998. │
│ This is a seminal and sublime album of exemplary tech trance including │
│ the full frontal assault of "Electro Magnetic", the gentle throb of │
│ "Radiohead" ,the classic "Frog" and pulsing "Telegram". The album shows │
│ it's techno roots as Marcus observes ; "In the last two years trance did │
│ not develop that much. The sounds got fatter and the arrangements very │
│ professional but somehow it didnt develop so fast. Lately I think the │
│ influence of techno music is coming back, which is good. It's getting │
│ more interesting and it does not always have to have this Goa formula │
│ which is ok but gets boring when you've already heard it twenty times in │
│ one night. I think we are getting to the point again where more │
│ influences will come into play. I can imagine in the future tracks will │
│ be with a reduced melody and even when I listen to some of the latest │
│ releases I can hear that the bass drum is getting much louder. People │
│ are getting the bass drum." Marcus and Jan , also known as the │
│ production team Rough and Rush, are creating the soundtrack to the │
│ underground and dont contain themselves to just X-Dream but are involved │
│ in spin offs such as Noosphere, The Delta and "Fools and Tools" as well │
│ as a number of other pipeline collaborations with Simon Posford and Tim │
│ Schuldt. │

│ │
│ As time goes by, the world matures. PsyCZ has matured and the scene has │
│ matured. PsyCZ started releasing in VBR over two years ago, and was met │
│ with skepticism. As time went by, more and more realised that VBR is │
│ superiour to cbr 192. Finally, now in 2004, VBR is allowed by the scene. │
│ PsyCZ will also in 2004 continue to bring you the finest psychedelic │
│ trance music from around the world, as we have since 2001. │
