By mixing electronica and more traditional electronic dance styles, the Psychotropic Sun will take you everywhere from drum n bass to house to melodic trance to breaks to tribal to ambient to UK 2-step to pure electronica to minimalist pulses to raggaelectric dub/ All mixed in together for your aural pleasure. :)
