Mushi Records is a brand new psytrance label based in Israel. Here they are out with their first release, which is the debut album by a duo called Bubble (Guy Sarnat & Karen Bagdasarov). They mix live instruments with pumping trance.

The first track throws us right into full on vibes, but a little bit different than usual because of a lot of guitar and some vocals. A little bit too fluffy for my taste, but nice with some change. Track 2 is a pretty interesting stumpy track, with some jazzy piano sounds. We also get some intense full on melodies here. Israeli full on in a new way. Reminds me a little bit of some old Infected Mushroom tracks, but in a more jazzy way. The melodies are again a bit too fluffy for my taste though. Track 3 goes the pumping direction too, here with some classic piano! Interesting, but not exactly my cup of tea. Track 4 goes even more jazzy. Jazz and full on is not a mix you hear often... Here we also get some psychedelic guitar play. Track 5 with the album title is my favourite track on this album. Quite drifting, massive track. Still some fluffy vibes that goes way over the top, but not bad anyway. Again, I get very much Infected Mushroom feeling by this. Track 6 is a bouncy track with pretty cool beats. But, we get some vocals and melodies here that ruins it a little bit for me. Track 7 is also one of my favourite tracks here, with some really nice, crispy sounds. You also get less cheese in this one, and more funky vibes. They finish the album with a relaxed track. Here we get jazzy vibes and dubby beats.
It is quite easy to hear that this duo is inspired by Infected Mushroom. Still, they have found their own way of doing it. Pretty interesting to hear that they mix in jazzy influences, which is not something you hear often in full on psytrance. Some of the sounds and melodies in many of these tracks became too fluffy for my taste, but I’m sure some of you Infected people out there will enjoy some of these tracks anyway. Bubble is probably a duo we will hear more from in the future.
