Entheogenic is a cornerstone project of the psychill and global-bass movements, formed in 1999 by Helmut Glavar and Piers Oak-Rhind. The project is defined by a high-fidelity synthesis of organic field recordings and sophisticated electronic sound design.
Glavar's background in punk, funk, and drum-and-bass provides a rhythmic foundation that is more complex than standard ambient music, while Oak-Rhind's guitar and sound design expertise adds a melodic, often 'impressionistic' layer. Their work is frequently associated with the 'Ultimae Records' aesthetic, though they have maintained a distinct identity through their use of 'tribal' percussion and cross-cultural vocal sampling. Critically, they are lauded for their production clarity and the 'liquid' quality of their mixes, which avoid the tropes of generic New Age music by incorporating darker, more intricate psychedelic elements. They remain influential figures in the 'transformational festival' circuit and are considered essential listening for fans of high-concept electronic music that bridges the gap between the natural world and the digital studio.
