Tool’s sound has seen him traverse the globe, taking his record collection of clandestine classics with him on his way. Whether he is playing a Mala Junta night at clubs like Bassiani or a festival in the Australian bush, his sets enthral the dance floor through frenetic techno and seductive trance music. His approach, from the studio to the floor, emanates an energy that’s indebted to the old school, though original and assertive at the same time.

Tricky Grain is the label of fellow Danish disk jockey and producer, Ezy, that pushes the rebirth of trippy, Scandic trance that is rising to the forefront of underground scenes worldwide in recent years. The VA presents a selection of sonic sorcery destined for gatherings in enchanted forests and dark warehouses alike. 

‍

Our premiere, ‘Insanity Here’ presents an ominous sound, weaving through sci-fi-esque vocal samples and a driving bassline that lays the foundations for your trip. In true psychedelic fashion, Tool contrasts glitchy, electronic sound elements with ringing pads that sit deep in the mix, altering the listeners grasp on reality.
