Alexander “Sasha” Shulgin is probably the most important chemist alive. In addition to rediscovering MDMA and popularizing its therapeutic use, he also synthesized hundreds of new psychoactive chemicals and – with his wife and companion Ann – chronicled their effects in the extraordinary detail of two legendary volumes, PIKHAL & TIKHAL.

At the age of 85, Sasha recently suffered a stroke and now requires full-time medical care. This benefit compilation is the response from an international network of musicians whose work and lives have been enriched and inspired by the work of these two pioneers and their courageous exploration of nonordinary consciousness.

Marty and Ooah respect their fans and listened to feedback on The Sauce and gave us four dance floor bangers with The Superior EP. These songs will get a party moving and will most likely make a lot of those fans who were disappointed with The Sauce very happy. Does that mean PANTyRAiD now deserves to be called sellouts? No. It means they put out another release that is going to be a best seller just like the first one. If you happen to dislike it, don’t worry. I’m sure there is something out there that you will like. Everything is going to be ok.

Stephen Kaminanda is a very talented up and comer in the West Coast bass music scene. Coming from the mossy forests of Vancouver island on the west coast of Canada, Kaminanda’s sound is a mix of lush downtempo textures, tribal rhythms, deep midtempo grooves along with the glitch-hop and dubstep sounds that we all require as a daily staple. The skillful combination of these makes his newest album Year of the Golden Tiger complicated and sophisticated in a way that surprised me because I hadn’t heard of Kaminanda before.

The songs of Kinetic are made up of sultry synth lines, glitched rhythms, deep low wobbling bass, and cascading crescendos of texture that evokes visions of utopia in my minds eye. This album tells me a story of hope and joy- it is a soundtrack for a generation of inspired people coming together in the way that we do to try to make our dreams come true.
