Inpsyde Out is the brain child of Constantin and probably the late result of being a “Psytrance-Kid” since the middle of the nineties at a very young age. After starting dj´ing at the age of sixteen he got into music production shortly afterwards. Around 2005 he turned his back on the psytrance scene, to focus on some other stuff, but the music always stayed with him. In 2018 he decided to get back into production. In the beginning he created a “fun” ambient project, without taking it to serious, but already after some months he decided to get back into psytrance production and Inpsyde Out was born. By the end of 2021 he got signed to the Swiss label Digital Shamans Records, his signing was followed by 2 EP´s on his home label and a huge amounts of tracks on various VA´s and label´s. After the impact his EP´s had, he started touring the globe with his project, playing his music all around Europe and in South America on major festivals, smaller & larger parties and in clubs. Beside his main project he also mangles his mind in a dark night time music project called Borderliners and he is one half of the newly created Noize Riots project which focuses on the dark progressive zenonesque style. In addition to his passion for music, he is also creating presets for software synthesizer´s and Ableton tool´s for music production. In 2025 another EP on Digital Shamans Records will close his EP series. Beside that the summer will get busy with some amazing bookings and he will release two new preset banks for some software synthesizer´s. So stay tuned and keep an eye on him.

Wode is the project of Aussie Psytrance producer Ryan Woodlock. He started the journey in Melbourne during the pandemic lockdowns due to sheer curiosity of psychedelic sound design and production, eventually falling in love with the chaotic energy of night time soundscapes. Having earlier in life played drums in metal and punk bands for most of his teens, Ryan was then introduced to aussie bush doofs and found the atmosphere and energy of those parties to be his new love. He eventually discovered artist such as Ajja, Scorb and Jumpstreet which he found very similar to heavy music genres but was also refreshing and unique to his ears. Studying and exploring both spectrums of the psychedelic genres Ryan wanted to meet somewhere in the middle to accommodate for both worlds, designing his tunes to bounce around with repetitive off beat patterns and quick intricate breaks, but also allowing the music to evolve with contortive melodies and atmospheres. Ryan was signed to Euro label Squarelab Music in Feb ‘22 and then released his debut EP ‘Psychopathic Mind’ later that year.
