HypoGeo is the project of Italian producer Nicola Grigatti. The name says it all: anything that originates, grows, and evolves beneath the earth. The music follows: dark, hypnotic, filthy, and psychedelic, drawing from extreme metal, industrial, EBM, New Wave, noise, techno, IDM, and dark ambient. Raw by choice, heavy by nature. Introduced to the world in May 2012 with the debut album Tree of Lies on Zenon Records — aggressive, heavy, and uncompromising, it built the bridge between the deepest psychedelic trance textures and the raw, minimalist side of electronic music. In 2026, Nicola founded SubЯitual Records, a platform for his own vision of raw psychedelia and a home for artists who feel the same way.

Operated by Vince LeBarde, Electrypnose — the electric hypnosis — began as a psytrance project, but over the years has evolved into a broad exploration of countless genres and sub-genres, both connected to the psytrance culture and far beyond it. Based in Switzerland, the laboratory has never slept since 2001. With more than ten albums and over a hundred tracks released on various labels, Vince has performed at major festivals worldwide, as well as at hidden doof gatherings and vibrant club nights. Blending trance with techno, dark prog with forest, tech house with progressive, downtempo with jazz, classical, or hip-hop — Electrypnose embraces everything. The idea is simple: no boxes. The music can be deep, light, joyful, melancholic, angry, or gentle; fast or slow. It draws inspiration from every sound ever created by humans, nature, or perhaps even elsewhere. Continuously experimenting and searching without borders, Vince explores and shares whatever falls into his hands — always with the clear intention of connecting listeners directly with music and sound.

SCHROTT is the collaborative project of HypoGeo and Kromagon, two artists whose individual identities dissolve into something heavier, darker, and altogether unforgiving when combined. The project lives in the space where dark progressive meets industrial texture, rusty, raw, and uncompromised. This isn't music designed for comfort. SCHROTT strips things back to their most abrasive core, layering the mechanical weight of industrial aesthetics over the hypnotic depth of dark progressive. The name itself, German for scrap, junk, wreckage, sets the tone perfectly. There's an intentional ugliness here, a beauty found in deterioration and machinery, in the grinding and the corroded. Nothing is polished away. Everything that should be rough stays rough. For those brave enough to follow them in, SCHROTT offers a sonic environment that is immersive, relentless, and deeply textured, the kind of sound that doesn't ask for your approval.
