( platipus records) platmu26lp format: digital global release: 12. 03. 18 / beatport exclusive 26. 02. 18
platipus sub - label, releasing more tribal and techno - ish flavors of trance. not to be confused with disco gekko records .
platipus records vol. 2 is great, but there are better cds out there. simon berry is brilliant, but children isn' t quite the goa sound. better cds are (for goa): spirits of independance (krembo records) and dreamland (for dream music - imp dance records )
thanks mate! tried to stay away from the more uplifting stuff platipus released and concentrate on the platipus' sound' .
got the platipus archive series with volumes 3 and 4 on it, for a tenner. platipus 1 & 2 are still available through that .
also availaible as part of the

boxset platbox1 .
‘cactus – 2017 remixes’ will be released 12th june 2017 on beatport. global release 27th june 2017 on platipus .
thing is most of the latter platipus comps all focused on their new stuff. even a beginners guide to platipus wasn' t really because it focused far too much on the progressive side and not on the amazing stuff they released between 1993 - 1999
and the end of platipus arrived... i' m so sad that i can' t say anything more, except
10x for these 17 years of heaven
. hope the spirit and the sound will be kept alive through the new porcupine records label. please, give us news simon. love !
platipus released some quality tracks in the late 90' s many of which are up there with my favourite trance records of alltime. like previous reviewers, i didnt dig the releases from more recent years quite as much but the the old ones are always the best ones, right? if you would like an introduction to platipus then volume 4 is an amazing album that showcases lots of the best tracks on this label. a legendary label !
this album is not realy my style. bye dragonfly, matsuri, distance, tit insted of platipus that is my sugestion to you .
i' ve got a couple of platipus compilations and they all got calling your name on it, but not this version (coincidently) .
at its beginning platipus records had an impressive signal to noise ratio in its releases. simon berry seemed to have worked out a successful formula for electronic trace without sounding formulaic that retains its value years later. that platipus records is no longer active and can serve as a time capsule for a decade and a half of high quality releases is about as good an ending as one could hope for. the label will not be tarnished by new corporate ownership by an entity that would care nothing about the label' s reputation and which would happily drives the once respected label into a painful and distasteful obscurity. i' m sure i will always have a fondness for platipus and the window it provides into a period of time which will forever remain behind us. i hope that porcupine is able to perform some future magic that will be reminiscent of platipus only in terms of its quality and the consistency of whatever the
sound
turns out to be. platipus cannot be repeated nor should it be. it' s history, baby. the only other label i can think of for which i had a similar connection perhaps was chicago' s wax trax, also no longer with us. endings are necessary; all one can hope for is that there is dignity left when the time comes. in that sense, platipus succeeded. spin on .
i haven' t got either. i love trance and have many of the records metioned here on vinal. i shall be out this weekend on the hunt for v1 and v2 a new set of headphones and a bunch of candles !
as one half of brancaccio & aisher, and suicide sports club, luke brancaccio has been one of bedrock records’ most prolific artists and having recently collaborated with simon berry, has a forthcoming release on circus recordings and a 3rd single imminent on bedrock .

one of the giant labels and original purveyors of progressive house and trance. platipus have come leaps and bounds over the years and have delivered some epic releases. who will forget the mid 90' s sound that has influenced progressive house to no end. robert miles, art of trance, oliver lieb and bt have all been at home on the platipus label from time to time .
martin merkel emerged from the shadows at the end of last year with his first single release for simon berry’s platipus records. this was an introduction and taste of his self - described brand of “soulful techno”, steeped in complex emotions and with an attention to musical detail that comes from many years of dedication to his chosen craft. the exciting collection of music is now revealed in its entirety as his ‘constantin’ album – a creative project inspired by his emotional journey over the past year and honouring the recent birth of his son. martin’s joining forces with the legendary platipus imprint also marks a bold new direction in the label’s evolution, as its creative ethos develops in an exciting tech house / melodic techno direction .
a somewhat mysterious figure within the european techno scene, this maverick german dj / producer has often stepped away from the egotistical glare of publicity, preferring his music to do the talking. martin merkel is a master of sonic excellence and musicality, his creations have previously often crept out on the likes of cinematique, bonzai, secondary tones, joof, monkey business, neverending and his own shelter 54 imprint. now, under the auspicious guidance of platipus records the most exciting new chapter of his career is about to begin .

i purchased v2, and yes, it is better. children is a classic, goa or not, and red herring is so dynamic and brilliant. and the mwnn remix of octopus is a fav as well. for those like me who live here is the us, i found an intresting cd called platipus ultimate dream collection or something of the sort, and it was a domestic release of both comps on a double disc compilation. i found it used for 14. 99 (compre that with the 60 bucks i paid for both my platipus cds), but i already owned both so i had no need. this dream collection cd was released under popular records and bmg here in the us and had the exact same music, so search for that for a nicely priced cd .
platipus records have a long and distinguished history having being stalwarts of the trance scene for well over a decade. this release sees platipus headman simon berry - art of trance with another sumptuous offering, persia, also featuring natacha atlas of trans - global underground notoriety on vocals. the original mix is first off the plate, bringing together an typically driving blend of peaktime beats along with a rich tapestry of warm, organic synthlines and twinkling percussion. the mood is uplifting from the off, notching it up a level as atlas' s orgasmic, mystical vocals are added along with scintillating acid line which eases off before notching back up again. on the flip side is some russian spice with the vorontsov remix displaying an exciting angle to the package. he takes parts of the original and softens the energy levels down with an tighter mix of incessant percussion and housier beats, enhancing the mystical quality of the vocals with added stings and beckoning melodic aftertraces. aot & platipus; are making a charismatic start to 06 with a definite floorshaker reminiscent of early releases .
so many amazing ch00ns! often people don' t know the discography of an artist / label well enough to make a proper tribute mix, but you showcased platipus' finest very well. good job on the mixing as well .
platipus was one of those labels from the middle of the nineties until the end of the century you could buy records buy nearly blind from and you were as good as never really disappointed. without a doubt this label has a special place in the heart and mind of many musiclovers and has also left his remarkable and unique sound to the (hard) trance - scene: classics from union jack like cactus or two full moons and a trout as well as art of trance - kaleidoscope or octopus or the famous libra pres. taylor - anomaly - calling your name. brillant and simply timeless .
definately serious trance techno, both volumes are classics. wouldn 't change a track. haven 't yet yeard v3 though. another good suggestion: - listen to dj quicksilver - not bad (still not as good as platipus! )
one of the very few trance labels that' s still near and dear to my heart. i personally didn' t like the wimpier flavors that starting coming around when they got new sleeve designs in 2000, but they' ve still managed to keep the production standards relatively high, it seems. but < i > old < / i > - time platipus records can still bring the house down. relentless, layered acid lines and tribal madness, especially on early union jack releases. melodic trance lovers: buy, beg or steal a couple of releases from before 1997; i can guarantee that you' ll be shocked and provoked .
it ain' t goa. it ain' t techno. it ain' t ambient. it ain' t dance music. it is platipus. all these tracks are good, the stand - out ones (of course) are by art of trance and union jack (both aka simon berry). the only really dancey track is the technossomy one. these albums (vol 1 & 2) are a teasing taster of what platipus has to offer. my hint: for an audio treat, listen to
wildlife on one
by art of trance .
despite much great naysaying, i still like this label an awful lot. sure, a lot of the thunder' s gone, but they still manage to put out releases that feel slightly left of center. their sub - label, gekko, is especially consistent with quirk and curiosity, while platipus euro is a little more loud and raucous. the label isn' t trying to write out its own history, as is evidenced by their re - releasing many older records. they' re just trying to stay afloat in changing times. times where trance isn' t even sure of its own direction anymore. it' s perfectly fair to not like their current output, but it' s also only fair to acknowledge their significance .
so many amazing ch00ns! often people don' t know the discography of an artist / label well enough to make a proper tribute mix, but you showcased platipus' finest very well. good job on the mixing as well. btw, # 30 is art of trance - octopus (mwnn mix )
i wanted to make one more comment on the fact that i ran across platipus v3 and purchased it immeaditely to find it is very different. 1 and 2 are much better. and someone please mail me some info on
second nature
lp from art of trance. i' ve seen it on mail order, but no where else .
i purchased this album, and immeaditely went out on search for art of trance and union jack lps. platipus artist has their own unique deep rythim sound i love. i haven' t obtained v2 yet, but plan on going out to get it rather soon. i recommend this album and for listening beyond v2, the art of trance lp
wildlife on one
.
1995 - trance, house, tribal sorry for all the ads guys, i have no control over them the second in the compilation series by platipus records. still in its darker, harder, acid influenced stages but with tracks like children it is moving away from that 1. robert miles - children (dream version) 2. poltergeist - vicious circles (union jack remix) [ 00: 07: 36 ] 3. the art of trance - octopus (man with no name remix) [ 00: 14: 36 ] 4. salamander - tempest (union jack remix) [ 00: 21: 52 ] 5. union jack - red herring (original mix) [ 00: 29: 03 ] 6. catalyst - what? [ 00: 37: 41 ] 7. quietman - plastic gourd (10 inch mix) [ 00: 45: 15 ] 8. the art of trance - octopus (original mix) [ 00: 52: 22 ] 9. union jack - cactus [ 01: 00: 58 ] 10. the art of trance - orange [ 01: 10: 43 ]
potentially the finest house / trance compilation of all time, from one of the most influential labels of all time. platipus are beloved by djs the world over and this collection showcases just some of the acts that have been on the label. this collection is loaded with dance floor classics -' vicious circles' by poltergeist,' two full moons and a trout' by art of trance and' seadog' by clanger are just some of the stand out tracks amongst many. if you love house / trance and you don' t have this then you should hang your head in shame .
01. constantin 02. wonderful life 03. little wonder 04. tiefentaucher 05. parthenon 06. der riese milz 07. seelenfarben 08. black light 09. ashikaga 10. patagonia
the album opens with the almost tranquil, low - slung groove of title track ‘contantin’. its teasing, hypnotic pulsating motifs and distinctive layers of intricate, heart melting, melodies are the perfect entrée for what is to come. whether its the bubbling percussion and irresistible, soaring energy of ‘wonderful life’, the immediately infectious ‘little wonder’, or the glorious symphonic synths of ‘tiefentaucher’, martin merkel’s music has a timeless quality that makes exceptional music become so treasured .
martin merkel creates his own unique, masterful blend of electronic music by utilising switching, ever - evolving elements as he layers atmospheric excellence over deeply powerful percussive grooves – check the fizzing dynamism of ‘parthenon’. he is equally comfortable changing down a gear for the snappy, techy ‘der riese milz’, diving into the darkness on ‘seelenfarben’, and building superb elements of growling tension through ‘black light’. every track is an homage to the intense emotional power that can be expressed and transmitted through synthesized machine music, none more so that the towering, stunning finale ‘patagonia’ .
originally inspired as an artist by the experimental attitude of italo disco and the embryonic techno scene, via parties at the likes if dorian grey and omen (frankfurt) and tresor (berlin), martin merkel’s nascent career saw him develop an early love of analogue synthesisers – and saw him fill his studio with a desirable collection of moog, roland and waldorf machinery. in recent years he has moved towards a more compact, travel - friendly digital studio set - up, but his love of synthesisers remains a defining characteristic of his uniquely distinctive musical output today and his ‘constantin’ album is a perfect testament to that love .
20 remastered classics by oliver lieb aka paragliders / s. o. l, chab, union jack, martin merkel, loud, art of trance, circulation, moogwai, on3, terra ferma, cai, domestic, kaukuta, & catalyst .
originally released in 1994, ‘cactus’ is regarded as one of union jack’s finest moments. 23 years on, despite a plethora of requests, no remixes have ever been commissioned…until now .
irish techno dj / producer and rising star jonno brien originally got the ball rolling last year when he sent in his remix out of the blue. it was quite simply too good to be ignored. carl cox, who was one of only a handful of dj’s to be sent the mix, hammered it worldwide and included it as one of his highlights at the closing party @ space, ibiza .
psychedelic sorcerers oood remain faithful to the prickly original but slam it into the 21st planet and beyond .
after a long hiatus, quietman’s laurence and wilf emerge from a shimmering mirage with a sublime slice of desert sunrise .
20 remastered classics featuring: oliver leib aka l. s. g / s. o. l. , union jack, dino lenny aka indiana, chab, van bellem, art of trance, orkidea, terra ferma, pob, moogwai, oliver klein, steve gibbs, i - ching, trigger, catalyast, greg murray, jane kumada, blu peter, healium​, kansai and clanger .

joy kitikonti - mixtape history - insomnia 27 - 11 - 1993. this is the first mixtape of a collection from 90' s to 2000
this is what i grew up with! this is the unsurpassable mix... this is when goa was at its pinnacle. all classic tracks with artist like hlluciongen, doof, astral, x - dream and many many more .
this is what i love about goa trance, atmosphere! feels lacking in a lot of psy these days ...
probably your best set that i' ve heard so far from this series. you maintained the same good flow throughout it all. fantastic work and awesome tracks! please do something similar with more recent years, too !
love it, covered mostly all great tracks of that era. long live goa

is one of the many great tracks on this disc. if you can get a copy it is well worth the price! if you have any questions about this disc please email me at: tituscrow50 @ urltoken
this cd is amazing if you like dreamy wavy music it' s one of the best trance cds i' ve ever listened to. lots of sonar sounds and good progressions with slowed down ambient riffs and pounding housy beats! montreal # 1 afterhours scene !

really enjoyed that! so many amazing tunes. i love elektroniikkaa (van bellen remix )
tom... . i love, love, love this set... i recognise so many tracks in here... and your mixing is superb! !
i' m so in love with this set... i play it directly after gtg with union jack... over & over! !! esp. funnel web, papillion, persia, the labyrinth & viola .
i' m so in love with this set... i play it directly after gtg with union jack... over & over! ! !
you posted this on tranceaddict mate? looks like something they' d be all over. will grabski when i' m home and listen on the train saturday
also i' m not impressed at you taking the credit for mr a. bulton' s mixing skills, shame on you (hehe, just noticed i' m a n' 00' b )
shhhhh arge melijane - look at the name - a. bulton... . aka ableton of course i mixed it, but yes i used ableton to do so !
haha, i didn' t get the joke either ps. great choice on the granny mix of calling your name. i love so much of paul brogden' s shizzle !
it' s only ever been the granny mix for me. none of the newer mixes were particularly good apart from moogwais .
what a mix! just what i needed for my long rides to / from work. never heard that mix of
calling you name
( let alone a few of those tunes) but it is definately my favourite. cheers mate .
anything with so many art of trance tracks is likely to be good, but this is actually rather more diverse than it might appear, and less dancefloor oriented than many current compilations. a
for simon berry .
two full moons and a trout
is already a classic while
cambodia
emanates all the rights signals too .
seadog
is atmospheric, aural, epic, with its sonar sounder - imagine dancing in a nuclear submarine - while the next track
vicious circles
is just that - harsh and minimalist. later on
lollipop man
( the original flipside of
two full moons ...
) is also memorable - fantastic, spaced - out but fast. just as we like it. this cd has to be a must for all art of trance / union jack fans. wait for the next one .
volume two is miles better. just check out robert miles'' children': trance classic !
union jack where wicked when they played for radical rehousing in amsterdam last year .
two full moons and a trout is the best trance record out there, union jack crew knew what they were doing 2yrs ago but now trance is so formularised that it is so boring, i only listen to the detoit style of techno because it is all original ideas all with one aim, which is to push the boundries of electronic music and the instruments involved e. g. (not using the over used roland 303 and 909). nick hulin
two full moons and a trout
blows me away. as does
red herring
off of vol ii. simon berry has created a sound that is so classic. deep, swimming, acid. how do i get
two full moons
on vynal? - - - chris
my opinion... these are both brilliant albums, but goa? these are classic acid trance tracks, not only in their progression but in their use of sound. they aren' t as textured as goa songs are, and thats what makes them so brilliant. and saying that vol 2 is better (especialy
children
) isn' t a fair comparison at all. most of the tracks on vol 1 are from the early 90' s. but still they blow dance floors away like songs from today .
my opinion... it is one of the best real trance compilations. i prefer this kind of trance but the best track for me comes from the remix of caspar pound of
two full moons and a trout
. it is just brilliant! !! !! !! !! !
i couldn' t care less what genre of techno they' d like to call it. i have the popular recorsd double disc release and i can lose myself in it at any time .
i am not sure which came out first but i have the ultimate cd collection which is 2cds... it is a very good value for someone new to the techno mix. volume 3 is that any better ?
this sounds incredibly dated today. the only track which has stood the test of time is
electron bender (willi mix )
by technossomy (but i think that the william burroughs voice sample which 1 to 1 copy from
words of advice
by material (a bill laswell project) shows quite poor taste). rest of this compilation is just old trance and quite boring .
my opinion... it rocks! it is my favorite of all time .
this compilation really sucks, but i' m a lover of psychedelic trance so....
