Virtual Sun is the innovative collaborative project formed by Ablass and Codexa, two pioneering artists in the psytrance music scene. Ablass, born on August 15, 1979, in Paris, France, began his musical journey in the early 2000s, inspired by artists such as Hallucinogen, Total Eclipse, and Infected Mushroom. Known for his dark melodies and frenetic rhythms, Ablass initially created music using samplers and sequencers before transitioning to computer programming after 2000. He co-founded the label GoaPsyRecords in 2017, further solidifying his influence in the psytrance community.
Codexa, on the other hand, discovered psytrance in the 2010s through rave parties and was influenced by artists like Astrix, DJ Tristan, and Daft Punk. His style blends groovy melodies with funkadelic and hard techno rhythms. Codexa began producing music around 2010 and joined GoaPsyRecords in 2017. His creative output includes one album and one EP, and he is currently preparing a new album set for release in 2025.
The union of Ablass and Codexa in Virtual Sun represents a fusion of their distinctive musical styles and backgrounds. Ablass brings his expertise in dark, rhythmically complex psytrance, while Codexa contributes his groovy, funkadelic influences. Together, they create a rich, dynamic sound that transcends traditional psytrance boundaries.
Virtual Sun is more than just a musical collaboration; it’s a journey of exploration and innovation. The duo’s music reflects their shared passion for pushing creative limits and their dedication to crafting immersive, otherworldly experiences for their listeners. As they continue to work on new music, Virtual Sun promises to deliver captivating and transformative soundscapes that resonate with fans around the globe.
