Der Mystik - Funky Souls

Having dedicated 15 years of my life to Electronic Dance Music under different monikers, there is no more recognized alias as 'Der Mystik', after all, under this alias I produced tracks that reached legendary status such as 'Technological Sky' (2006), 'Bahia' (2009) or 'Technological Waters' (2018) and the unforgettable remix that I made for Swedish music producer and colleague Jezper Söderlund, yes, 'Escape' the Final Chapter one, sighs* good old times.

Der Mystik has always been about Trance but as I was exposed to different music I could not help it but try to produce some of my own and include it in this album. This is my third full, my first under my oldest alias and also the most diverse one too.

From Pop to House Music and Trance to Chill Out this album was made to take you on a journey, an album produced for fans of music regardless of genre. I didn't produce a mainstream track and tagged it as Trance, as a fan of Trance I know my people well enough to know they can't be fooled like that, nor I would try. This album tells a story, either through lyrics or through feelings.

Soy 100% Latino, orgulloso de mis raices y de mi idioma, nacido en Pereira, una ciudad ubicada en el centro del eje cafetero en Colombia. Este álbum también es dedicado para todos aquellos productores y músicos de mi tierra que luchan a diario con garra o con espada para crear magia musical para el deleite de los oyentes. Nunca renuncien a su pasión musical.

This 14-songs outing is for my fans, those that have bought, streamed and even shared my music on torrent sites or similar. I understand how difficult it is for people in certain places of the globe to have access to music, those of us with easy access to it will never understand your world of scarcity, poverty or oppression, that is why this album will also be available on my Bandcamp page as digital download where you can pay whatever you want or not pay anything at all if you can't afford it, just get it, listen to it and enjoy it!

Yes to a world of unity, respect and equality!

Special thanks to Tmar, Andrea Dee, Paulo from PGAudio Mastering, Stryfer who helped me shape this album into what you hear right now.
