Out of the Box 002 – Ace Ventura

Out of the Box 002 – Ace Ventura

Welcome to the second chapter of Trancentral’s new “Out of the Box” monthly mixes series, where Psytrance artists/DJs will feature a mix of music people are not expecting to hear from them. We’re here to open people’s minds and break patterns and “boxes” – how can it be psychedelic if there are formulas, rules and expectations?

For our second episode we are hosting non other than Yoni Oshrat, widely known as Ace Ventura. Yoni is one of psytrance’s most established DJs and musicians. Yoni has been releasing psytrance for 20 years already, starting as part of PsySex & Children of the Doc and then branching out to his own project – Ace Ventura – with which he has been rocking dancefloors globally in any possible scale. He also releases and plays other electronica and downtempo as Schatsi & Schatsi in Dub.

The result is a… journey from 90 to 180 BPM, covering a lot of styles and genres… My goal was to have a good flow… and to keep it interesting, groovy, and most importantly, always psychedelic.

And we have some Ace Ventura exciting news for you as well – a new track coming soon with Animato on Iboga Records, a beautiful melodic acidic anthem which you can sample below. On top of that a new very surprising compilation coming out in June on Future Music Records with the promise name: “Psychedelic Awakening”. We can’t say much, but we heard some previews and we’ll say just two words: Surprise & Psychedelic, and leave you with that (and the cover below).

For the second the episode Yoni sure went Out of the Box and chose to take us on an impossible journey mixing all sorts of psychedelic music on a wide range of styles and BPMs. Full of surprises, just like we love.

What he had to say about it:
“I love making sets for people to enjoy in their cars, on their mobiles and in their homes, and I do a lot of those… But then came Trancentral, with a request to make a different kind of mix, one that would surprise, challenge and take the listener to territories he wouldn’t expect from me. The result is a two hours journey from 90 to 180 BPM, covering a lot of styles and genres, from abstract downbeat electronica, ambient, dub and retrowave, to Zenonesque prog, disco psy, night time forest and even some hi-tech spice on top of it all. My goal was to have a good flow between all of this, and to keep it interesting, groovy, and most importantly, always psychedelic. I hope you enjoy the ride.”
