Out next on Iono Music the Berlin-based duo Atacama unveil their highly anticipated new studio album Moonbase — a visionary progressive psytrance release that fuses futuristic sound design, hypnotic drive and cinematic atmosphere into a powerful interstellar experience. Formed by Kevin Hentschel and Rafael Gomez, Atacama have steadily built their reputation with a distinctive and forward-thinking approach to modern psytrance. Their productions are known for precision engineering, deep emotional impact and a refined sense of groove — qualities that reach their full expression on Moonbase, the duo's most mature and coherent work to date. The album unfolds as a continuous voyage through space and consciousness. From the solitary drift of "Planet Alone" and the high-pressure propulsion of "Countdown Red", into the molecular dreamscape of "Molecular Cloud", onward through the epic constructions of "TerraGen" and "Pathfinder", and finally culminating in the cosmic detonation of "Supernova Explosion," Moonbase delivers a complete narrative designed for both massive festival floors and immersive nocturnal journeys. Alongside the original material, the album also features the collaborative track "The Hybrid" with Jakaan, as well as Atacama's powerful remix of "Hallucination" by Relativ, adding further depth and dimension to the project and underlining the duo's ability to both collaborate and reinterpret with their signature sonic language. With Moonbase, Atacama establish themselves as a leading force in contemporary progressive psytrance, balancing emotional depth with raw dancefloor energy, and pushing the genre confidently toward the future. This is not just an album — it is a destination. Welcome to Moonbase.
