Dymons is the artistic pseudonym of Daniel Symons. He released his first solo album in Elestial Records - this is also his label and the presented CD titled "Druids Brew" is the first in its discography. Daniel is a member of The Peaking Goddess Collective and Tranceformation. In case of the first mentioned project this artist is responsible for percussion. So it was clear that also his debut album, created with several guest artists, will dazzle out with sounds of many different instruments.

Initial "One Drop Or Two" is a dub with a very simple melody; many things we have in the background, many samples from the forest - the whole atmosphere filled up with green flora space is very evocative. In "Gathering Of Lights" we have a dub with female vocal and the atmosphere of joy of gathering around bonfire. In "El Jaguar" the track from dub is transforming into groove with 4/4 - in consequence to a dance sound that can be described as a slow psytrance. "Sparkles" is an equally jaunty track, fast dub that continue positive emotions. Funny, in the good context of this word, is "Wakan Tanka" - we have here a hunting atmosphere, we can feel like being on savanna; this dynamic composition is transforming with every next minute into exotic psytrance. The image of "Beyond The Continuum" is similiar. But the last track isn't - "Blessings" is a 19-minutes composition that is a quite shapely blend of several tracks - done efficiently but without one central thought. We have here, for the second time in the CD, a female vocal. Daring work we have at times makes that it is probably the best track of the album.

The CD highlight first of all the vision of summer and nice night and its adjacent atmospheres on the equator's beach to be found somewhere between aromatic forest and calm sea. We have here many sounds typical for Peak, the whole atmosphere is also very similiar though it's successively builded from a quite other type of sounds: carribean and tropical. We can't find here, unfortunately in general, the melodies that could rousing the soul; the album is focusing on something else: this is the vibrant with life disc that also affirm a balanced journey without highest fragments destined for bliss. And this all with not so small bag of sounds from which psychedelia's aroma spread into air and then drift around us.

The fans of Peak's chillout shouldn't be disappointed. Personal style of Dymons is more exotic and tribal than f.e. Flooting Grooves and The Peaking Goddess Collective but same noteworthy.
