“Planet Mycelium is where Leary came from, sort of an alien entity that sends signals to Tripzy’s brain in the form of music. Mycelium is a type of fungus that grows like a web of neurones. The Mycelium race has been evolving for millennia as a higher intelligence who have been seeding planets like Earth with billion year old DNA… they’re kind of like the gardeners of the galaxy. Humans have been using psychedelics like psilocybin for centuries to tap into these networks of universal data getting in tune with our natural DMT, hallucinating our way to developing technology and understanding how the universe works. This stream of data comes from these places of higher intelligent beings like Planet Mycelium. It’s like water for plants, it helps them grow and evolve into higher intelligent beings that could eventually leave their place of birth and join the galactic community that grows and evolves DNA,” Tripzy Leary elaborates about the backstory behind his latest project.

“Since the 1960s, a more perfected psychedelic has sped up our DNA’s evolutionary process, uploading our consciousness and transmitting data at a whole new level. At this stage, we are mutating our DNA more and more becoming connected with this universal higher intelligence from the Mycelium networks. We see the light and naturally decide we need to move towards it. Many humans who came from this psychedelic era are shaping and pushing our species towards enabling us to evolve into our extraterrestrial butterflies, migrating to a higher mind state with the internet and virtual reality,” he continues. “I’m giving you a sonic representation of where we are headed. This is the metamorphosis in motion. Let us not fear. Let the future become clear. Welcome to Planet Mycelium.”

We are stoked to be premiering ‘Penicillium’ from Tripzy Leary’s project, a track that represents the protective gear needed for humans to explore Planet Mycelium. A robotic voice warns of the dangers present on the strange intergalactic body, before the talented producer quickly builds into a culmination of relentless alien-inspired synths and effects. Holding nothing back, Tripzy Leary flexes quirky sound design and imaginative melodies in ‘Penicillium,’ staying true to his unique sound and pushing it to new, unexplored territories, both figuratively and literally.

With all of this going on in the talented producer’s life, we figured it was due time to reconnect with him. In addition, Tripzy Leary delivers a thirty-minute guest mix, where he holds true to his storytelling persona by giving the mix another well thought out narrative, building on the one depicted in Space Migration. The introduction is sure to peak your curiosity, and the rest is just as mesmerizing. The mix is a cohesive journey through wild bass, not just a bunch of random tracks put together with no meaning. Check out the interview and mix below!

How was the first leg of your US tour? What was your favourite part?

It was amazing, got see a lot of California and Minnesota, meet a lot of friendly folks who were very kind and helpful. I think being in LA, well the Redondo Beach Area, was the best time of my life, it felt nice to have made it that far.

Did you manage to hop in the studio with American friends? If so, can you tell us about any upcoming collabs?

I had the chance to spend some time in LA with Murkury from North Carolina, guy’s got a lot of great tunes and we vibed hard. We didn’t manage to get anything done but I see work for us in the future.

You’ve also been doing some live streams of yourself working on tracks. What prompted you to start doing this? What do you enjoy the most about it?

Yeah I’ve been loving the live streams, great quality, it helps me push my projects forward when I have an audience, sometimes when I’m alone I will fux with a sound forever haha.

Space Migration has had a few months to settle and people have certainly hand-picked some favourites from the project for daily listening/playlists. Looking back, what’s your favourite song from the album? Why?

I’d have to say ‘Access Granted’. It’s such a unique different approach. It’s definitely ahead of its time.

Looking forward, how is your Planet Mycelium EP coming along? What are you most excited about with this project?

It’s been quite inspiring these past few months, this is where I draw the energy from for this new EP. The songs are included in this mix. I’m excited to bring folks on a cosmic journey with more theatrics. On the journey to Valhalla Music Festival. Planet Mycelium is a preview for what is to come. Maybe another album ;)

Last time we talked, you gave us a nice backstory behind Space Migration. How will Planet Mycelium build upon that story?

After the Space Migration, we’re headed back to my planet called Mycelium, a very trippy environment that I want to deliver sonically. We have a few stops on the way through this EP. I feel like we’ll finally reach our destination by 2020 and I will have a fresh album to kick off the next decade!

What else are you excited for in 2019?

Valhalla Music Festival!
Working on more music.
Meeting amazing people.
Spending time in Vancouver with my family.
And taking on the world!

Take us through your mix. What can we expect? Where is it meant to be listened?

I start off with the Planet Mycelium EP, into Wakaan flavors, my good friends Abelation & Pigeon Hole, MYTHM. Remixes of mine including CharlestheFirst, ‘Access Granted’ VIP, and future music I want to release mixed with favorite picks. I finish off with some house and end it with GIVE2FUX. I would suggest keeping this one for the road or on the go. It also gives you an idea what I would sound like live. Thanks for having me! Take care!

“Since my album release I started working on my first USA tour. I draw a lot of motivation and inspiration from having things to look forward to like going on my first tour. I want to make all sorts of new stuff for it and ‘GIVE2FUX’ is kinda inspired by not really caring what I do with it but also care enough for who it’s for so it has a double meaning,” Tripzy Leary states about the inspirations for his latest single. “This release is more about what I can do when I fux with the sound. And, it’s like a figure of speech for something we all love which is bass music, I FUXWITHIT,” he adds.

A soothing melody transports listeners to the depths of an enchanted forest in the introduction, where Tripzy Leary uses chiming keys and calming percussion to create an aural essence. A rapid change of pace hints at an extraterrestrial abduction, before a grave vocal sample leads you into minimal bass madness. If the introduction was a calming voyage through a beautiful landscape, the drop is a journey through the darkness of space. Through rumbling synths and resonating frequencies, Tripzy Leary paints a vivid picture of the abnormalities of the galaxy and its unexplored terrain. It’s only at the end of ‘GIVE2FUX’ that listeners are reminded that this journey was only a part of their untameable imagination. Check it out for yourself below, and stay tuned for more to come from Tripzy Leary. Grab it here.

The post PREMIERE: Tripzy Leary’s ‘GIVE2FUX’ Is A Journey To Outer Space appeared first on FUXWITHIT.

On the billion year voyage to higher intelligence, the Cyberdelics federation seek out planets with evolutionary delay, dismantling any political forces who deceptively manipulate a specific species of DNA seeded across the universe. In this 12 track LP, Tripzy Leary tells the story of the cyber-pilots’ journey to their space migration destination.

During this psychedelic trip to outer-space, listeners are greeted with rumbling wubs and sonic vibrations in ‘Departure’ that will rattle the darkest depths of unearthly galaxies and beyond. Elsewhere, ‘Access Granted’ touches on modern day technology drawing on social media vocal samples among a bubbling bassline. Continuing the voyage, ‘Space Migration’ spans a landscape of intricate sound designs, with some cleverly crafted production to mimic the likes of UFOs, aliens, and the general ambiance of an eerie universe. ‘Force Field’ and ‘Game Over’ depart from the experimental bass realms, with upbeat rhythms and grooving drum lines that draw on bass house and trap. Overall, the Space Migration LP truly takes listeners to celestial dimensions that span a new level of mind bending discoveries, and is sure to have you questioning your own existence.

Hot off the trippy sonic journey that is the Space Migration LP, we had the chance to catch up with Tripzy Leary to chat about everything from his origins, to his thoughts about aliens and space travel, to his inspiration for his latest works. Check out the full interview below!

Tell us a bit about the origins of the Tripzy Leary project and where your fascination with morphing psychedelics and bass originates from.

I grew up listening to hip hop and rap music, it had me really fascinated as a kid. Another interest I had growing up was computers, my dad was into computers a lot. I was kinda into video games for a bit but as soon as I got a hold of a digital audio workstation like Audacity when I was 14, that’s where it all began. I was inspired by psychedelic artwork or sound, making trippy music has always been my thing. For 7 years after this discovery, I was particularly focused on lyrics, and that eventually lead me to audio engineering school in 2010 – 2012. This is where I started to fall in love with producing, and at the same time I started volunteering at Shambhala Music Festival and discovered Timothy Leary. I used to go by Tripzy but when I found Leary it all came together and made sense.

I found the music festival to be a very psychedelic experience which shaped the next 7 years after this discovery. During this time, I was focusing on producing and Shambhala helped shaped those years while I was living in Vancouver. Last year was the end of what I like to call the 7 year cycle, which ended in a series of events like landing on Wakaan (Arrival), playing at Shambhala, and releasing my album (Departure) on my new record label, Cyberdelics. From here I am guiding my listeners over the year to the official launch date of January 2020. I’m scouting for artists and developing my next album while launching a Space Migration remix album in the next couple months. Everything is on time and flowing well. I’m really in no rush and taking everything slowly. We have a few dates locked in across the States and I’m looking forward to having my own mini tour over the spring that we will announce in February, and then hit up festivals over the summer. I’m just tying up this decade and everything I’ve learned from it and transforming that into energy for the 2020’s.

Shambhala was the best time of the year, it would give me enough motivation and inspiration to shape my style and craft to the unique way it became.

How was performing at Shambhala? What was it like performing at such a community-driven festival? How did the crowd react to your unique style?

The first time I went to Shambhala was in 2012; I was referred by my friend which quickly became my manager, we worked together in artist relations hospitality. I did that for 6 years in a row. It was a reset environment for me from everyday life. Every August. Shambhala was the best time of the year, it would give me enough motivation and inspiration to shape my style and craft to the unique way it became. Working in AR taught me how to work with artists and create a wonderful experience for everyone that attended there. It’s a mixed scene there compared to other festivals. So being around the energy of others was normal at Shambhala. Very intimate vibe. And the influence of 300+ artists helped me find a unique sound for Tripzy Leary. Planet Shambhala is 5/5.

You also seem to be intrigued by everything space and alien-related. Do you believe in aliens/extraterrestrial beings? Why or why not?

I believe we are becoming like aliens. We were once terrestrial caterpillars, hunter-gathers that had a thirst for technology and speed, and throughout the ages of being cocooned, the cultures of computers, psychedelics, atomic weapons, TV/radios, 5G networks, Internet, etc. have mutated (radiated) us into extraterrestrial butterflies or half mutated caterpillars with butterfly technology. Our minds are wanting to become less gravity bound and more in flight. Co-pilots of the cyberspace. To migrate to higher mind state beyond the body.

On a similar note, given the opportunity, would you travel to the Moon? Mars? Beyond?

I believe the final frontier is the mind. I think being in outer space with body vessel wouldn’t be able to take on all the unknown energy out there that could disrupt it, so sending the mind in an avatar or computer ship is the best way. Or from the living room of your home. Space travel is everywhere around us, we’re unidentified flying organisms. Our bodies nervous system is like the spaceship of our minds. We just need to build different spaceships.

Let’s talk about Space Migration. You capped off 2018 with two solid EPs, and catapulted your way into the new year with this newest LP. How long has Space Migration been in the works?

I started on this direction back in the end of summer of 2017, we found out Martin was fully interested in working with us and was playing my music at every festival in the States. I finished reading a book by Timothy Leary called Info-Psychology. With the right friends and family and timing everything came together over the years developing these songs towards playing at Shambhala, it was like I was making these songs for the Shambhala mix, which later became my album mixed with Wakaan music and favorite producers of mine, remixes and edits.

Our bodies nervous system is like the spaceship of our minds. We just need to build different spaceships.

What was your goal in creating Space Migration? Any hidden themes or a secret storyline listeners should be aware of?

My goal in creating this album was to stand out and sound unique, something different from everything else in the scene, otherworldly. After Arrival on the sweet Earth is the ‘Departure’ on the Quantum G7 (‘Access Granted’) to migrate to a higher state of mind within cyberspace. Cyberdelic music that takes you on a trip. A special message or medium to travel through. The destination is Cyberdelics. The era of the 2020’s.

How did you want to make the album different than the Arrival and Terraformer EPs?

Arrival was a concept I came up with in 2015. I designed the main synths from Serum when it came out in 2014. It was about the same time Wakaan started as a label collective. They kind of sat around over the years and were revamped by myself and GDubz. He brought them back to life and we created a few newer ones in the process like the ‘Blocc Is Hawt’ and ‘Sweet Earth’. It was perfectly selected by Martin and the team themselves and we rolled with it. Terraformer EP was made in the heat of the moment last year. I was just about to play at Shambhala and I was so motivated and inspired that I made that EP super lightening fast. It completed my 3 point story as well. Terraformer’s theme was about radioactivity, 1945 and the atomic bomb, the blast radius… some history and science I am astonished by.

Compared to Arrival, what were the main positives and drawbacks to working on an entirely solo project versus working with a fellow artist?

I went solo with it because I will be releasing a remix album later this year. This will be Cyberdelics first compilation packed with my favorite artist friends.

Space Migration is the first release on your Cyberdelics label, right? You previously mentioned launching it in 2020, but you seem to be ahead of schedule. What do you envision with this label? What kind of music do you want to promote with it?

After terraforming and the arrival, I wanted to dedicate 2019 towards the great migration that is taking place. By 2020, I will put out my next album and start to release all the artists we scout out during 2019 and present them in orderly fashion over the course of 2020. I want folks to think of Cyberdelics as the future signals/messages guiding us towards the theme of a technological future. It’s like computers on psychedelics, we call it Cyberdelics! Sounds that we trip to. Destination: vibration!
