Eskimo

High-octane psytrance defined by rolling basslines and cheeky samples. It is a relentless, neon-soaked rush designed for peak-hour festival chaos.

Intro

Eskimo delivers a high-velocity, maximalist take on psychedelic trance that feels like being plugged directly into a circuit board. The sound is characterized by its incredible speed, often hovering around the 145 BPM mark, and a signature 'rolling' bassline that provides a constant, driving momentum. It is music that refuses to sit still, constantly throwing new textures and rhythmic tricks at the listener.

What truly sets this project apart is the sense of humor and narrative flair woven into the tracks. Using everything from police sirens to cartoonish vocal chops, Eskimo creates a 'party-core' aesthetic that is more playful and aggressive than the more spiritual or ambient corners of the genre. The production is sharp, digital, and unapologetically loud, prioritizing impact and dancefloor utility above all else.

For those looking to dive in, the early 2000s albums offer the quintessential experience of the 'Full On' era. It is the perfect soundtrack for high-intensity movement, whether you are in the middle of a festival crowd or just need a massive surge of adrenaline to power through a task.

John Ford (born 24 July 1985), known professionally as Joyryde (stylized in all caps), is an English DJ and producer. He is the son of John Ford, the founder of the psytrance record label Phantasm Records.
