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 — український psytrance та psybient проект, заснований у 1998 році музикантом, композитором і діджеєм Дмитром Ліхачовим.

Дмитро має академічну освіту з класу фортепіано, а свої перші експерименти в електронній музиці почав ще підлітком. Брав участь у десятках фестивалів і сотнях вечірок в Україні, Европі та Азії.

Всеосяжна любов до музики і невгамовний дух експериментаторства заохочують Дмитра шукати себе у різних alter ego. Перший альбом Zymosis створювався під впливом стилів музики 90-х: breakbeat, drum’n’bass, psytrance. Пізніше у музиці композитора починають з’являтися фолкові мотиви, пререплетені зі свіжими і сучасними електронними вібраціями, та різні жіночі вокали (Ольга Троян, Вікторія Григо, Катя Чілі).

Zymosis повсякчас розсуває межі жанру chillout, адже у його музиці багато елементів східної етніки. Загалом у композиціях Zymosis виразно простежується вплив класичної музики, яку автор переосмислює і трансформує за допомогою psytrance-звучання, що є основною складовою пізнаваного авторського стилю. Музикант весь час шукає цікаві ракурси і нове звучання.Виступав на одній сцені з такими проектами як Infected Mushroom, Juno Reactor, Shpongle та іншими легендами електронної музики.
