During the past months Parvati Records and Phreex Networx have joined forces to produce a split V/A and are now happy to introduce it to You.
The concept behind this release is to reinforce the already exisiting musical bridge between these two labels and the psy-trance communities of Japan and Scandinavia.

Pearls & Pixies, title of this compilation, will present 10 previously unreleased tracks produced by established composers and promising newcomers: 5 tracks each from the Phreex & Parvati families.

This CD is a showcase of the leading psychedelic electronic music artists of this time featuring rare and hard to find tracks from across the spectrum of downtempo, breaks, tech house, chill out, trip hop, Dubstep, Ambient and otherwise relaxing and meditative styles fused together with a modern sounding backdrop of at times danceable yet always moving and grooving laced with melodies and rich soundscapes. This audio journey tells a story of self discovery through seaking inner peace and bliss.
