Inpsyde Out is the brain child of Constantin and probably the late result of being a “Psytrance-Kid” since the middle of the nineties at a very young age. After starting dj´ing at the age of sixteen he got into music production shortly afterwards. Around 2005 he turned his back on the psytrance scene, to focus on some other stuff, but the music always stayed with him. In 2018 he decided to get back into production. In the beginning he created a “fun” ambient project, without taking it to serious, but already after some months he decided to get back into psytrance production and Inpsyde Out was born. By the end of 2021 he got signed to the Swiss label Digital Shamans Records, his signing was followed by 2 EP´s on his home label and a huge amounts of tracks on various VA´s and label´s. After the impact his EP´s had, he started touring the globe with his project, playing his music all around Europe and in South America on major festivals, smaller & larger parties and in clubs. Beside his main project he also mangles his mind in a dark night time music project called Borderliners and he is one half of the newly created Noize Riots project which focuses on the dark progressive zenonesque style. In addition to his passion for music, he is also creating presets for software synthesizer´s and Ableton tool´s for music production. In 2025 another EP on Digital Shamans Records will close his EP series. Beside that the summer will get busy with some amazing bookings and he will release two new preset banks for some software synthesizer´s. So stay tuned and keep an eye on him.
