Patricio Tron produces his unique style of psychedelic
trance from Mexico... not just morning or twisted trance, but hard
hitting , funky, and great on the dancefloor!. Born in 1981 in Mexico
City, Tron has a long history of classical quitar and Cuban music,
which has given him a more intimate relationship with music. Tron
began producing in 2000. He started with a curiosity of how music
was produced electronically. His first contact with psychedelic
trance was in high school, never having heard techno or dance music
before, and from there he knew that’s what he was meant to
produce. Only after a few months of production did he grasp how
it was to be made. He started mixing and got a clearer idea of how
everything worked, he started understanding the music and it's structure,
and knew he had to make it on his own to bring out sounds he had
in his head. After a good productive year, the beginning of 2002
he started playing out at parties and clubs first as a dj and later
as a live pa.
Near the end of 2002 he was producing minimal psytrance,
and even some progressive, but the sound he wanted his music to
have was something different. He worked with Australian artist Peter
Burkart (Hikuri), and Mexicos Javier Calzada (Mindelight), and with
the advancements in music technology and new software, he began
to delve into a much more mature sound, creating something a bit
more complex and unpredictable. Now he has played out live in Mexico,
at several festivals with attendance of 6000+, as well as in Switzerland,
Wickerman Festival in Scotland, Glade Festival in UK, Solstice Fest
in Holland, and Underwater Overground Festival in Croatia, Earthdance
in Brasil, Tetris Safari in Ireland to name a few... and is becoming
a regular name in the UK trance scene, as he spends his summers
there playing just about every weekend. Also, having releases on
compilations from Magma Records (Italy), and Solarsiv (Italy), AP
Records (Germany), Maia Records (México), Liquid Records
(UK), Millenium Records(Ger), and upcoming releases on Sonic Dragon
Records (Australia), Free Spirit records (UK), YSE(Germany) and
many more. Aside from all that he has released his debut album "Existence"
with Liquid Records (UK) this past January which has had raving
reviews and a great reaction from the public !
His plans so far for the upcoming year are regular
live appearances throughout Mexico, the UK and Brasil, and hes workin
on his second album to be released on winter 2007. He also is involved
in collaborations with Ajja Leu (Peak Records, Switzerland), Alan
Richie, (Phar Side, UK) and Colin OOOD (Organic Records, UK) each
having a distinct sound ranging from progressive to full on. If
there is a influence in his style, it is more from an acoustical
background, something between metal, jazz and baroque music. Early
Trance influences would be Diablo aka Cosma, Bitmonx, The Antidote,
Reefer Decree....and more recent artists such as Sub6, Protoculture,
Panick, and Point. You can hear his variety of styles and tastes
in his production. You can find psychedelic, funky, melodic, and
twisted… all wrapped up into one. His sound is morphing and
changing and he is becoming one of the most evolving sounds in the
trance scene today
Tron 'Existence' Reviews
"When
you’re sucked into the soul of this music, you really get
the impression that the tracks have been “given life to”
rather than “produced” ... An uncommonly good album,
with more multidimensional depth and soul than you ever dreamed
possible. Trance for grownups. 10/10."www.psyreviews.com
"This
up-and-coming artist's talents prove to be beyond his time in terms
of stellar production quality and masterful structure and arrangement.
One can tell that every note and sound placement was meticulously
considered and mulled over, and the result is rock-solid release
which may well prove to be one of the most enveloping and sought
after albums of this year. The debut artist album of the UK label
Liquid Records, Tron's release "Existence" is a standard-setter,
the first of many sure-to-be pleasurably deviant trance ensembles
put out by this artist and label."..... Axis Mundi

"Yeah, another Liquid records release, this crew is fast
becoming known for releasing some of the freshest psy-trance on
the planet! The name says it all, full on futuristic big outdoor
psy-trance, non formula driven high energy music, this seems to
be true Tron style. Definitely one of the best full on release yet
to set sail from the shores of Mexico. You've gotta love the very
clever and perfectly arranged use of sounds floating on top of super
phat bass lines with some nifty tricks to open up fresh new audible
dimensions of digital landscapes, set to take each listening into
Tron's world of psy-space … Funky, Deep and Techy, is simply
just touching bass on what to expect when listening to this debut
masterpiece namely Existence... A brilliant album, don't get caught
without it this summer! Existence is not futile - beam us up....."
