A B O U T

PROTONIUM is a new chapter in the Psytrance cosmos - a collaborative project born from two complementary artistic paths:

PROTOBASE, the current solo project of German 🇩🇪 producer Ralf Dietze, co-founder of the internationally acclaimed act Protonica,

and DRUIDIUM, the energetic and spiritual Psytrance identity of Swiss🇨🇭 artist Alain Papet, known for his signature style #EnergyPsy.

This cross-border collaboration between Germany and Switzerland unites two music souls, two cultures, and two clear sonic visions - blended into one coherent musical force.

Ralf Dietze shaped the global Psytrance scene for more than two decades with Protonica. Performing at iconic festivals like BOOM (PT) , OZORA (HU) , Rainbow Serpent (AU), and Fusion (DE) , he developed a melodic, hypnotic and technically refined sound that influenced countless producers and dancers worldwide.

With PROTOBASE, he expands that legacy through modern sound design, modular synthesis and ceremonial depth. His 2025 release ‚Escape from Reality‘ (Shamanic Tales Records) became an atmospheric, introspective yet dancefloor-ready Psytrance experience - resonating with deep listeners and global crowds alike.

Alain Papet aka DRUIDIUM brings a different frequency to the collaboration - one rooted in spiritual awareness and energetic activation. With roots in the early 90s underground scenes of House, Goa and Trance, he performed as a resident DJ in Rimini (IT), Cyprus (CY), and Switzerland (CH) , before evolving into a fully expressive producer.

After a creative break as a father, he returned focused and transformed - creating #EnergyPsy, a high-voltage form of Psytrance designed to awaken both body and consciousness through dopamine resonance and harmonic frequency work.

His standout releases - ‚Shrin‘, the ritualistic ‚Mantra of Spanda', and the deeply melodic ‚Shanti Om‘ - all released on PsyPool Records Switzerland, showcase his ability to merge groove, emotional depth, and spiritual precision. These tracks also define his acclaimed Arduenna Sessions - intense, transformative live mixes shared on SoundCloud and embraced by the global Psy community.

PROTONIUM is more than a collaboration - it’s the union of two artists, two philosophies, and two energy systems. The result: soundscapes that reach deep and rise high. Basslines that ground. Melodies that expand. Structures that trance and transform. Whether on massive festival stages or in intimate club rituals - PROTONIUM offers a transcendent experience for dancers, dreamers and transformational beings. This is sound. This is ceremony. This is PROTONIUM!
