Album Review: Symbiosis by Mitosis, Miosis & Simon Sayz
If you’re into electronic music with a trippy edge, Symbiosis is one of those albums that kinda sneaks up on you. Released in 2018 by the German trio Mitosis, Miosis & Simon Sayz under Sunna Records, it’s a mix of Psy-Trance and Downtempo vibes that feels like a journey rather than just a playlist. Let’s dive into it, shall we?
First off, the track Mammoth. Man, this one hits different. It’s got this rolling bassline that feels like your heartbeat syncing up with the universe or something deep like that. The synths are sharp but not too in-your-face, giving it this hypnotic groove that sticks with you long after the song ends. I remember listening to it late at night and feeling like I was floating through space—like, whoa, where did my room go? That’s the magic of this track; it pulls you out of your head without even trying.
Then there’s Djambaylana, which is just wild enough to keep things interesting. This tune has more of a playful vibe compared to Mammoth. It layers quirky melodies over these chunky beats, creating this weirdly satisfying contrast. There’s a moment halfway through where everything drops out except for this lil' tribal rhythm—it’s so unexpected but works perfectly. Honestly, I found myself rewinding just to hear that part again (and again).
What I love about Symbiosis is how it balances energy and chill. You can blast it at a party, or you can zone out solo with headphones on—it works both ways. The blend of Psy-Trance intensity and Downtempo chillness makes it super versatile. Plus, coming from Germany—a country known for its killer electronic scene—it’s no surprise the production quality is tight as heck.
You know what’s funny though? Listening to this album made me realize how much I miss random road trips where you just throw on some tunes and let the music guide you. Like, imagine cruising through the Black Forest with Symbiosis blasting—it’d be epic.
So yeah, if you’re into stuff that’s a bit experimental but still catchy, check out Symbiosis. And hey, maybe grab a snack first because once you press play, you won’t wanna pause it anytime soon.
