about
Leaning into psychedelic storytelling, WAKAAN mainstay Shlump now delivers a hallucinogenic single netted with low-end bass, ‘Psychedelic Explorer.’ Easing into the record with a wafting melodious aura, Shlump gradually increases the tempo, thoughtfully introducing his own take on key elements of traditional dubstep. Laden with deep, resonating arpeggios and occasional samples referencing the namesake of the track, ‘Psychedelic Explorer’ stands not only as an ode to Shlump’s fine tuned artistic prowess, but also to the valuable teachings of his profound experiences with psilocybin.
Gearing up for a full summer festival season, Shlump will be making anticipated appearances across stages at the infamous Sonic Bloom Festival, Shambhala Music Festival, Interstellar Festival, Elements Music & Arts Festival, and more, translating his diverse sonic palette to a multidimensional live performance.
“I wrote Psychedelic Explorer during a time when I started experimenting with microdosing psilocybin. I have been a psychedelic explorer for many years but taking microdoses was a new experience for me. I wrote a series of tunes that reflect what I was feeling and going through at that time. More of a melodic laid back feel to this one. There was a sense of novelty to writing something with a chill rhythm and melodic atmosphere. I sampled a few minor vocal clips from a lecture about psychedelics that I felt were appropriate. “What it does is break down boundaries” is referring to the boundary of our ego or identity that seems to separate reality. There is a sense of merging with a large energy of universe that I feel really reflects the psychedelic experience.” - Shlump

These five tracks tell a lucid story with tones and textures, AND nearly demand you move your body during each piece.
This EP calls between critical nodes of musical DNA that link together many of my favorite parts of the electronic scene.
Good for a party with that edgy energy, a firespin, or night drive! David Rees

I can't stop listening to this album. It's so good. So many different amazing songs. Yheti can turn such small amounts of time into massive complex journeys. Signals from above grew on me over time a great deal and I think that is always a special and mysterious thing. voidhaven
