I’m Varkus, I’m in my late 20s, and I love psychedelic and progressive music.
When I was 18, I got introduced to Shpongle, which was precisely the moment everything changed for me. I got addicted to this music and couldn’t get enough of it. I tried to find more music like this, but it was never enough. I got into Hallucinogen, and both new and old psytrance, goa, progerssive trance etc.
In 2020, inspired by the music of Simon Posford, I started producing psychedelic music on my own. Last few years my music production has been on a hiatus, although I’m still deeply tied to this community, and in 2021 I started my own discord server for discovering psychedelic music and discussing music production called Psy-Downtempo (which later was changed to Psychill Community and then Psychill Space). My released productions aren’t the best, but you can find them on Bandcamp or streaming services as Soundweaver.
I’m also very interested in technology, creating websites and simple games since I was a teen, now fiddling with AI a lot, also got a cybersecurity certificate. Inspired by Magic the Gathering, retro dungeon crawlers and Minecraft, I hope to create my own full-featured releases one day.
Combining all my interests, I’ve ended up creating a website for psychedelic, electronic & experimental music, named after the discord server - Psychill Space. It combines a curated blog, a large database of music, community/social feed, and events from the scene.
