Hooray, the new year is tolerably new! Pianist and weatherman John Pohlman retires to play spiffy piano jazz and unremittingly listen to psilodump during his long-awaited vacation, tuned in with his venerable portable travel radio. After 30 years, Pacman finally finds a qualified metronome to aid him in his training towards eating pac-dot-nom's in unmitigated on-target sync with even the most adequate techno rave beats around. His iron determination is undisputed! As for Psilodump, the new year only heralds supplementary adventures beyond challenge!

Make no mistake — the machines only appear lovable until they have you in their pincers. From quirky playful beats to refined vocal performances, psilodump hits hard in this most sonically lush of 8bitpeoples releases. With a diverse mixture of thick textures and lo-fi samples, Mutiny of the Robots is a diversion from naked chip music, but if it doesn't make you want to get naked anyway, you're probably a robot yourself.

Aha! The X-Dump's netlabel is back with yet another almost fantastic psilodump netrelease, which in fact does not have the usual promotional text attached to, whatsoever!!! Now how about that!? Ah, don't forget that the release includes a dashing fresh remix by Goto80, made out of baking tin and wood!!!!!!!

Now it’s time for yet another virtual 12″ vinyl, don’t you think? Well, irrespective of what you think, it IS time for another virtual 12″ vinyl. And this time it’s time for Psilodump, a very experienced musician who’ve been releasing his music on vinyl, CD and many other mediums, to do his debut in the virtual 12″-community.

“I think this is a big step for me and my musical carrier.” Psilodump says. “I like the virtual 12″- community a lot, many of my friends are virtutwelveinchers themselves, even my girlfriend is, so I’ve been feeling very frozen out not having any virtual 12″ on my discography. So this is a really important landmark for me.”

And it’s a landmark indeed!

One morning when he wakes up something is just wrong. A weird feeling is going up and down his spine and he doesn’t really know what’s up or down. Something is haunting Psilodump. He packs his bag and sets out on a journey…

Now when he’s standing here, with the bag in one hand and his Dick Tracy novel in the other, prepared to travel far, he doesn’t know at all what awaits him…

And that may be good, because if he knew about all the ghouls, all the swamp eating pirates, all the golden zombies, would he then leave…?

1. BAK8
Lost in an abandoned town, inhabited by fearless walking dead, Psilodump is trying to get out of harms way but at the same time he wants to find out what has really happened here. Do not fasten your seatbelts, or you can be sure they’ll just fall of.

2. PIN
Psilodump is hearing a whisper from a place he has never been to before, but it is a place he still remembers. He hesitates for a moment, but then he continues right ahead…

3. FEIGN EMBRACE
At first it felt like the journey more and more turned into a fun trip, but Psilodump soon realizes that that’s nothing but a false impression, this was a, a… a feign embrace!

4. BITTEN
Psilodump enters the ghost-train-roller-coaster and must duck to avoid the swinging axes, a construction made with the purpose of cutting his head off. The ghosts is just laughing and Psilo is really wondering when this hell-trip will end.

5. RETHOUGHT7
Face to face with the final evil creation of madness, Psilodump is trying to find a way to battle this sinister beast. Then the voice is whispering in darkness again, with a voice so quite,: “Hit the eye Psilo, the eye!”

6. LOST AND
The beast is dead and Psilo is finding out the truth. But the truth is not always so pleasant…

7. ALDRIG IGEN
Tired and exhausted by the terrible adventure, Psilodump states that he never want this kind of stuff to happen again… Aldrig igen!

8. FEIGN EMBRACE (AYHAN AYDIN COMMUTERTRAIN REMIX)
At last when he thought everything was over and he is heading back home, Psilodump is accidentally embarking on another adventure of a lifetime!. Instead of taking the usual train he makes a serious mistake and boards the horrifying commuter-train…

To be continued…

Straight from the mind of Swedish hellraiser Psilodump, who's released on super-smart labels such as 8bitpeoples and Micromusic, as well as being part of the rather smart X-Dump collective, 'Jag Och Psilodump' is a spectacularly eclectic 6-track EP which bounces all over the map, showcasing Psilodump's distinctly weird, distinctly different stylings.

Things start with 'Winds (Snabber Mix)', which is all hyper-fast drums and oddly burlesque melodies, before 'Omtanke7' cuts in, again with oddly indescribable, almost demo-scene styled melodies, before the almost junglist 'Jag Hatar Psilodump' hangs around, all vicious. It only gets better from there on out, ending in a military deconstruction of 'Winds' by fellow X-Dump colleague and former Monotonik releaser Dorothy's Magic Bag. Mommy, we're scared...

All kind of animals (cats, goats, dogs, beards) in the big fruity candy forests are coming to listen when bitter sweet super hero psilodump is guesting the realm of Candy Mind with his newest inventions psilodump is showing us all kind of crazy stuff; stuffed moles mutated with a potato in Trak2, alien cereals in Transport and a very dangerous killing machine filled with ice in Sitting very still.

It’s kind of a freak show, and everyone comes to the freak show, to laugh at the freaks and the geeks, everyone comes to the freak show, but nobody laughs when they leave…

Coming home from psilodumps crazy show is kind of hard, you know a lot of weird nightmares is waiting for you when you’ll go to sleep.
psilodump has just got one greeting: saying “sov gott!”.

1. TRAK2
 
Honouring his Mexican ancestors, psilodump is sending out his purple tentacles for catching more of the jelly stuff that he likes. And what ever you do: stay clear of the tentacles!!

2. YTA I
 
A surface is always a surface and will always be a surface, it’s what’s hiding under the surface that is the question. And what is hiding under psilodumps surface? You will never know for sure!

3. INSIDE THE TRANSPORT
 
When psilodump is in a really good mood after a gig he is always going straight into the transport, and is sitting there until next gig. It may sound a bit boring, but the transport is a very cool place with a lot of strange stuff in it. For example a magic cup.

4. YTA II
 
The exciting sequel of track number two on this release. Don’t miss it, or it will miss you!

5. SITTING VERY STILL
 
Since the other person is sitting very still, your brain emphasizes the information coming from the moving hand, and parts of the person’s face disappears… This is what’s happening to our psilodump.
