6047 presents Podcast 14, his guest show with Ashstafari, on Scientific Sound Asia, having published his playlist for the programme. Scientific Sound Asia is an English-language underground electronic music radio station, DJ agency, promoter and music-news platform connecting audiences across Asia and internationally.
6047 (read as 60:47) is a Los Angeles-based DJ and producer whose origins are in Vietnam and whose heart lies in California. His background in the electronic arts includes releases in a variety of genres for many labels.
He takes a light-hearted view of his own profile and prefers to let his tracks and remixes tell the story. Across a 20-year tenure, he has issued well over 800 tracks and remixes under a variety of formats and labels.
His production abilities earned him a reputation, guest shows on international stations worldwide, and significant recognition for his work. His DJ performances combine Progressive music, breaks and beat-matching with close attention to detail.
At the time of publication, he was involved in collaborations with many other Scientific Sound Asia artists and could be heard on radio stations and podcasts worldwide. Podcast 14 featured classics from his Trance and Psytrance collection from the label Troll N' Roll.
Guest DJ Ashstafari.
DJ Ashstafari, whose real name is Ashley Moon, is a newcomer on the psychedelic trance scene. He has focused primarily on the genres of Electro and Tech House for many years under various aliases before making the switch to psytrance.
His creative style sets him apart when mixing sets, with his long, high-energy, driving mixes and exciting transitions. He is the transporter of minds and souls to a psychedelic paradise that, while leaving you knackered, strangely also leaves you feeling re-invigorated.
His deep passion for psytrance is clearly felt in his delivery and is an assault on the senses not to be missed. The UK-based artist is a Crystal Kids resident and has played at festivals and events for the likes of Faerie Pirates, TynePsyde Crew and the Liberty Captains to name a few.
6047 opens the first hour of Podcast 14 with Total’s “Freaky Forest,” followed by Gubbology and Oliveira as the programme moves immediately into psychedelic electronic territory. All eight tracks in his hour come from Troll N’ Roll’s Freaky Forest compilation, including RotSystem, Katastrof, Trance-Ingvars, Toxic Anger Syndrome and Aremakki.
The concentration on a single Troll N’ Roll release gives 6047’s hour a particularly coherent identity, with “Uven,” “Oiije” and “All The Answers” sitting between longer psychedelic pieces from the same Swedish catalogue. “Trollskogen” and “Cream Delivery” complete a first set that fits naturally within Trance and Psytrance, with forest-oriented psychedelic trance at its centre.
Ashstafari begins the second hour with Lakitu’s “The Muk,” followed by Radikal Moodz and Hydra-E with Yabba Dabba. “The Muk” and “Untold Tale” are both officially classified as Psy-Trance, while Radikal Moodz is likewise firmly associated with psychedelic trance through the Looney Moon catalogue.
Microsphere and Hypnospores continue with “Hypnosphere,” another Digital Shamans Psy-Trance release, before Fungus Funk remixes Yab Yum’s “Orgones.” That Timecode/Sangoma version is also officially classified as Psy-Trance, reinforcing the second hour’s tightly defined genre profile.
Chris Rich follows with “Lupercalia,” a 152 BPM Psy-Trance release on Bom Shanka Music, before Yabba Dabba and Abu move into “Busy Madness.” Z3nkai with Mental Bugs, Render with Rugrats and Act One then carry Ashstafari’s selection through its final psychedelic sequence.
Across both hours, 6047 and Ashstafari concentrate overwhelmingly on psychedelic trance rather than crossing into the broader house or techno styles heard elsewhere on Scientific Sound Asia. The Troll N’ Roll material gives the first hour a forest-oriented character, while Ashstafari draws from Digital Shamans, Looney Moon, Reversible, Timecode/Sangoma and Bom Shanka for a faster modern psytrance second hour.
