Weirdos Inc. Records presents its inaugural compilation: "Delusions" – a mesmeric anthology of tracks from talented friends around the world. This compilation weaves a sonic tapestry of fourth world dub encounters that seamlessly connect the dots between psychedelic soundscapes, leftfield techno and sultry downtempo excursions that leave you marooned in a sweltering desert trance.

You're on a train, the melodic chug of flying rails beneath you, A red heat bleeds in from the window creating an ethereal mirage in the distance. The destination is at present unclear, but preliminary shimmering sights and new auditory visions promise hedonistic revelation.
We could waffle on and on like this (and we have a few times). Basically, This compilation is a journey - a collision of songs that created a path we couldn't have dreamt of.

From the clandestine depths of the UK's music scene emerge local Bristol luminaries Bruce, Deep Nalström, and Balouu, alongside the 1990s Lake District free-party-legend, Celestium, and London-based maestro DJ ojo. Traversing hallucinatory Siberian forests, Alterleo's "Voices" floats across the Pacific to the West Coast of North America. The journey continues here along the rain-soaked, salt-kissed abodes of Copyright Linda Fox, IHA, William of Aragon, and Shaye Steele, led by Weirdos Inc.'s conductor, dj_2button. Their rhythms surge southwards, passing through the Olympic Peninsula, en route to the eclectic beats of Seattle's Tondiue, and ultimately, the rhythmic tapestry of Mexican and Brazilian rhythms spun by Ludviq and Mandruvá.

DJ ojo immerses us in a dreamy realm with "Lounge of a Thousand Years", a sunken and meditative dub that conjures images of drifting through an opium den for a millennium. It's humid and shadowed in new age mystery, a cerebral epic through desolate deserts. Keep one eye open though, these sounds in the distance have a dangerous edge. Watch out for predators. Surreal work from Joe Carver here.
