Hey, happy Monday everyone!
Anarchism and syndicalism is something I enjoy reading about while listening to psytrance, especially progressive psytrance, which I get to enjoy from the comfort of my computer running Debian.

PsyTrance Mojave Desert 2003
The synth line that arrives at 03:44 minutes is direct from August 2003, reminiscent of that summer month's psy{trance/breaks/progressive} desert event by LA's then-epic group, "Moon Tribe" held always on the full moon, deep into the wilds of the Mojave desert. Unofficial, never "permitted" by the state for us to use our own lands, so long as it was remote enough to be "in the middle of no-where".
Down a series of very specifically not-paved sandy desert tracks and land-management "access roads"... with several hundred of the group present, a massive full sound-system encompassed a parachute tented impromptu enclave. The Moon Tribe events were never formal, and they lasted as long as everyone wanted to stay out there, or until supplies and water and a need for a cold shower and more ice required a return to the 'civilized world'.
Twenty two years later, presently in that civilized world, sitting at my desk in another state so far away in all respects, once again there persists an awe and encompassing love for the mind's ability to transport snapshots of the sensory realm across space-time; only now simply close your eyes, mediate breathing, meditate on the flow of electrons, and open a channel into the mind's eye from that same starry night sky, the cool desert breeze brushing upon wetted lips, a pulsing body sensation from the ever-present bass reverberating a connection - enabling the channeling of sensation into The Now, with a simple synth-line unifying two sensory realms of energy more than two decades apart.

Second Morning Nap
My most restful sleep is either while listening to psytrance (tech/progressive - specifically not goa), or metalcore/etc...
Having just woken up to this track, it's just so good... I'm really quite enjoying Sideform these past few weeks.

PsyTrance Neural/Aural Pathways
Thirty minutes awake, checking messages, and this track smashes its way into my conscious stream of LC-NA focus... and then, so may it into yours...

What is this LC-NA that i speak of? ... Why does it come up during periods where my mind gravitates towards wanting to hear PsyTrance? There's an old research document that I've been writing over the years, describing "'aural / neuronal data processing' as it relates to sensory response associations within the neuro-endocrine system's programming pathways", and this describes how certain musical response evokes a chemical response deep within the Dopaminergic Pathways of the brain; it's a neurological look into the scientific manner which define how and why we are capable of the "Experience and Feeling of Music".
Intrinsically involved with the aforementioned topic, inescapably so, is the LC...
> The locus coeruleus (/sɪˈruːliəs/)[or locus caeruleus, locus ceruleus], which in Latin means "blue spot", is a nucleus in the pons of the brainstem involved with physiological responses. The LC s the principal site for brain synthesis of norepinephrine (noradrenaline).
> The locus coeruleus and the areas of the body affected by the norepinephrine it produces are described collectively as the locus coeruleus-noradrenergic system or LC-NA system.[4] Norepinephrine may also be released directly into the blood from the adrenal medulla.
If you've never had the pleasure (yes, this is sarcasm) of being jabbed in the thigh with one or more EpiPens (epinephrine == adrenaline), well let me tell you that it's a whole hell of a lot of being hit with a truckload of norepinephrine (nor == 'next to'), both of which (adrenaline and noradrenaline == epinephrine and norepinephrine) comprise two of the three Catecholamines .. the third being Dopamine...
ok ok brain, Enough 6am neuroendocrinology ... I have things to attend to over at the Cytochrome P450 medabolic modulator station (CYP450, specifically 3A4 and 2C6 and 2C19 inhibitors) aka "a cabinet in the kitchen where there are mad-scientist/alchemist organic compounds). More on that some other time...
Guten ... Moooorgen... Freitag!

This track has been a favorite since the pre-release, and the extended 2018 version is especially perfect.

this gem of a mix rolled into my auditory realm without explicit action or intention... but these auditory patterns are the medication!
if circumstances were perfect, I'd love to have to been at this event where the live mix was recorded. Nicely done Korento!

4 hours party @c3pb
#MinimalTechno, then #Techno, then #HardTechno, then #AcidTechno, then #Psytrance
In collaboration with another #subraum member, who took over after about 2.5hrs.
Holy shit that was great!
I am told being creative helps with existential dread, so I am making psytrance.
This one goes deep...

Hola #fedifiesta, #VámonosJuntas #juntas y otres. Va mi #presentación, que nunca la había hecho, aunque llevo rato acá:
Soy el lobi, vivo en #BuenosAires.
Me gusta el #parkour #FreeRunning y las #ArtesMarciales #DefensaPersonal. A veces patino #skate, paleteo/raqueteo o juego fútbol (mixto) socialmente.
También me gustan los videojuegos de #música como #PumpItUp #PIU, #Ultrastar #karaoke, #TaikoNoTatsujin #taiko, #Rocksmith... Aprendí un poco de piano y canto, pero ppalmente #guitarra. Bajo he tocado tmb. Tuve una banda 3 años.
Escucho #rock, #punk, #metal, #reggae, #ska... Fan de #NOFX, #Sublime, #TheStrokes, #CatupecuMachu, #Flema, #Rancid, #SoaD, #Sumo... Tmb me gusta la cumbia, el pop, algunos reguetones viejos (aunq en su momento los odiaba), la música clásica, el chiptune, #psytrance...
Otros juegos que me gustan son #SvenCoop, #Luanti, #HalfLife #Synergy, #CounterStrike, #AoE, #GMod, #Portal, #L4D... Y el #StreetComplete #OSM. #JuegosDeMesa tmb.
Me gusta #acampar, andar en #bici y el #cicloturismo. También los michis y los cementerios. Estudié #chino #mandarín 2 años.
Uso principalmente (y milito) apps y redes libres #FLOSS y celus usados hace más de 10 años. Antes usaba bastante #Diaspora (en joindiaspora con otro alias y en diaspora.com.ar #DiasporaArgentina hasta que cerró).
@TheConversationUS @blackmastodon My thesis topic runs close to here. EDM is black music.
Which makes a white boy like me mad at seeing someone wear a shirt sporting neo-nazi insignia to a forest party.
This has started happening during the past years. And you can’t imagine the amount of ”hippies” defending their ”freedom” to do so.
I thought it was ridiculous at first, but these days it all makes sense. #libertarianism
