Psychill

Hardcore Buddhist is a multi-genre electronic music project that seamlessly blends chill-out mood with danceable progressive rhythms and psychedelic tones, creating a complete composition in a diverse range of genres, including psybient, chillgressive, psychill, progressive, breaks and techno. Since 2017 released 4 albums, 8 EPs, and numerous collaboration tracks and remixes with esteemed artists like Side Liner, Kick Bong, Dense, Zymosis, and more. The style was formed due to my passion for high-quality music, guitar playing and overriding desire to experiment and share musical ideas. Music released primarily on Cosmicleaf Records but also on Vertigo Records, Mystic Sound Records, and Sentimony Records, is an emotionally-charged journey filled with intricate sound design, dynamic energy flow, and uplifting cosmic vibes. Each track paints a trippy and exciting story that combines sassy, romantic, psychedelic, and oriental influences, combining depth with lightness and playfulness with drama. Dive into the captivating world of psychill with my latest album, “Succulent,” available on Cosmicleaf Records.

Zymosis is a Ukrainian psytrance and psybient project founded in 1998 by musician, composer, and DJ Dmytro Likhachev.

Dmytro has an academic education in piano class, and he started his first experiments in electronic music as a teenager. Participated in dozens of festivals and hundreds of parties in Ukraine, Europe, and Asia.

An all-encompassing love for music and an indomitable spirit of experimentation encourages Dmytro to look for himself in various alter egos. The first Zymosis album was created under the influence of 90s music styles: breakbeat, drum'n'bass, and psytrance. Later, folk motifs intertwined with fresh and modern electronic vibrations and various female vocals (Olga Troyan, Victoria Grigo, Katya Chili) began to appear in the composer's music.

Zymosis constantly pushes the boundaries of the chillout genre because his music has many elements of Eastern ethnicity. In general, the influence of classical music, which the author reinterprets and transforms with the help of psytrance sound, which is the main component of the recognizable author's style, can be clearly traced in the compositions of Zymosis. The musician is always looking for interesting perspectives and new sounds. He performed on the same stage with such projects as Infected Mushroom, Juno Reactor, Shpongle, and other legends of electronic music.
