Here’s one heck of a bad vibes song for any chemical comedown. The aptly named Coming Down lurches and overwhelms with hypnotic vocal snippets reiterating the title of this track. I give it mad props. It’s evil!

Certainly not a track with mass appeal or accessibility, I nonetheless really dig this bizarre, overdose soundtrack. Partly for its binaural qualities, and partly because Menternal is so damn weird.
Ricardo Villalobos takes an already strong song to the next level with his trademark style. Berlin minimal techno for the win!

Ahhh. Another artist with a deep understanding of the craft. This one really screws with my head… peep the middle portion.

David Alexander rocked me when this mix was played on Proton Radio several years ago. I saved the stream but only managed to get the last 45 minutes or so of this golden set. So I emailed David, and he hooked me up with this mix in its entirety, and now I’m passing it on to you. This is a very tribal and proggy house set, fierce and nasty, especially towards the end. Virtually all these tracks can be bought and heard on beatport.com, so if you want specific tracks, that where I’d get them.
I hope you love this set as much as I did!

Alright, after a long hiatus, it’s time for some freaky house tracks.
Blue Insect by El Farouki is an excellent track; distinct, punctuating, popping percussive quirky beats over top a fuzzy, ultraviolet, buzzing bassline that has a slight, bendy drugginess to it.
Unlike the previous track’s subtle drugginess, this next monster whacks you upside the head with its freaky intensity. Undisputed Truth’s remix of Procut’s Feel So Right is awesome. I first heard it on protonradio.com in an outrageously fresh mix by David Alexander, Primal Innuendo 3 (to be posted here soon). A gargantuan bassline storms in, layers upon layers of intense druggy goodness fill in the track and desperate, creepy lyrics surface. I freakin’ love this track, which I’ve been listening to for years. Five stars; flawless execution. Well done, Undisputed Truth! This track’s a monster, and a must-have.
Moving into the absurdly druggy, another favorite track of mine is Matthew Dekay and Norman Soares’s More Money, More Power. A ridiculous, clip-cloppy bouncy beat gives the track a silly feel, then duggy waves of sound wash in, swirling and somewhat ear-piercing, and a surreal vocal sample pops in and… confounds me! Quality! Truly weird, but it works.

Fresher than a thousand freshes, the UK label Method is well worth watching. If you like cold, smooth, synthetic progressive trance with decidedly druggy overtones and stellar production values, you’re in for some head-bopping treats.
My all-time favorite from this label is Central Rush’s Out Of Focus (Tkac and Haverlik remix). One word: WOW. A beautiful, rich, vibrant and enveloping 3 dimensional soundspace surrounds you, disorienting you while tweaked female vocals repeat the drugginess-inspired title of the song. The proggy freshness builds, slowly, into more and more intense, tighter circles of sound around you. What was merely beautiful starts to become vaguely menacing. This song gives me E flashbacks in a big way.
This track will make the hair on your neck stand up. This is a MUST HAVE.
Speaking of druggy proggy trance tracks, this next one will make your teeth rattle with its pounding, merciless, metallic punctuating drones, while freaky male vocals urge you to leave your law-breaking raver friends and find a Safer Place without them. Mind-numblingly hypnotic, and anxiety inducing, you will love this track’s druggy feel… it’s only a matter of time.
