Trip Out Sensibly

Kap Bambino

_____Cooked in the underground basements of Bordeaux, in a manner similar to that of crystal meth, Kap Bambino gives you two times the rush. Soon after its release, Zero Life Night Vision, its initial form, rapidly became the most desired sound amongst Parisians and other French clubbers seeking something harder than what the clichéd Justice and other soft electro acts had to offer. Such demand led to further releases, and Blacklist gave now-addicted clubbers an even more intense experience.

___It’s popularity has led to many similar substitute sounds breaking onto the scene since. The now more common Crystal Castles are known as the “middle-class Kap“; its slightly more refined sound appealing to younger generations who grew up with the much cleaner sounds of Basement Jaxx and Chemical Brothers. No other non-lethal sound, however, is yet to be produced which can provide a high as substantial as Kap Bambino.

Butterfly Explosion

_____Not widely consumed, Butterfly Explosion are known to be the substitute for cannabis for those who disagree with smoking an organic compound. The effect is slightly different to that of hashish, tracks like Chemistry and Carpark capable of giving a much harsher trip than many of the synthetic stimulants that were sold in headshops until recently.
___In the right environment, however, and with the right frame of mind, Butterfly Explosion can blow your mind in a way that will leave you questioning your previous reliance on weed when you wanted to chill out with friends. And, unlike smoking cannabis, listening to Butterfly Explosion has no adverse health effects whatsoever.



SomethingALaMode

_____Back to France again, for the source of the latest high-quality designer dose of pure aural ecstasy. Where posh French electro-lovers once valued cocaine as the must-have party drug, SomethingALaMode are offering indie kids everywhere a new-age classical alternative. Ingeniously combining strings with synths, SAL have created one of the trendiest sounds since LHD Soundsystem.
___Raves in concert halls, orchestras in warehouses, tracks like 5 AM and Romance In B Minor suggest these unlikely combinations may become a reality sooner than you can imagine. And forget pricey pills and pricier powders, SomethingALaMode will provide unlimited sensational trips on tap.



The Presets

_____Finally, we have Australia’s answer to the ketamine kraze in Europe. While we looked to horse tranquilisers in pursuit of an ever bigger buzz, the Australians found the biggest in the form of The Presets. Traditionally consumed aurally, it may sometimes be consumed through osmosis, or simply shoved down your throat at some of the highest-energy gigs around. Obviously, it is not recommended for everyone, those suffering from heart problems, pregnancy or musical appreciation deficiency should steer clear, but to anyone else, you simply gotta try this shit.



___I must warn you however, The Presets are a highly addictive and dangerous sound. There was outcry when they were left out of the recent illegalisation of many new drugs. Talk Like That alone claimed 31 lives last year in Australia alone, where experts now reckon they pose more of a threat to Australia’s youth than cocaine, ecstasy, and ACDC combined. Consume with caution.
