Dune Castle Records Presents… For Private Use Only by Cantrips, two heaving psychedelic funk pieces composed by Cantrips’ Patrick Ryan and recorded live over one day by a studio band.

Cantrips is a Melbourne psychedelic funk and cinematic soul group led by multi instrumentalist and studio producer Patrick Ryan. With heavy groove sensibilities, Ryan composes head nodding psychedelic funk music from the Dune Castle Throne Room, a DIY studio in Thornbury, Melbourne, from where he operates the label Dune Castle Records.

The Prayer and The Big Break are two bombastic psychedelic funk tracks that take cues from David Axelrod's work as composer and producer of psychedelic pop and rock group The Electric Prunes. Axelrod composed two records; concept albums that integrated Gregorian Music into psychedelic pop and rock, both of which hold true to his penchant for cinematic psychedelia and jazz funk sensibilities. These two tracks explore momentum and energy, as facilitated through the necessity for presence during a live studio session.
