http://soundcloud.com/dj_redscare/destination-polaris tracklist is here: http://i1.sndcdn.com/artworks-000022743536-mfshiy-original.jpg?4606e00 Enjoy! Sean/Redscare

yeah i know how it is... music production is an endeavour with a very low time-invested to production-yield ratio ... thanks again for the great dark trance!

yep! that's the idea

:)

more frequently, house parties where i slip in as much goa as i possibly can get away with. the prevalence of weed doesn't hurt, and it makes the kids more pliable to weirder music. you'd be surprised. i had a kid ask me alllll about who this track was (it was koxbox - insect and insect bite) and he went home and basically discovered goa on wikipedia. sometimes small is beautiful

i just played "altered state" at a club about a month ago... everyone ran to the dance floor... sick tune!

Sorry bro... won't happen again

astral way is one of my all time favourites! thank you so much for posting it

awesome track i hadn't heard! thank you thank you s

here are some of mine trinodia - unknown space electric universe - the prayer juno reactor - jardin de cecile --> der dritte raum - trommelmaschine blue planet corporation - overbloody flood ott's remix of hallucinogen - angelic particles 8D

you know, there was a book i read back in the day, maybe you've read it, _generation ecstasy_ by simon reynolds... not a lot about goa or psy in it, but his thesis is, in part, that a. as the drugs and their associated experiences became more commodified, rave culture was altered in unanticipated ways, as e gave way to speed, weed and LSD, and then coke and alcohol, thereby finally arriving at a more "club" oriented experience, as opposed to a countercultural movement like spiral tribe or goa, b. the scene and the music are a chicken and egg sort of dialectic, each influencing and being in turn influenced by the other, c. (this last bit is now my thoughts, not reynolds's) hence cosmic baby and jam and spoon are now deadmau5 and gareth emery, and hallucinogen is now the fucking WHITE comp on TIP, which the first time i heard it i was like WTF IS THIS SHIT DOING ON TIP??? just my 2c... s well, true enough, but isn't it possible to refrain from throwing out the baby with the bathwater, as it were? can't we keep it underground and insist on psychedelic sound palettes, while also djing new talent (suntrip, UAF etc.)? i know a dude who plays nothing but new beat and new wave 12"s as though it were 1992... he never plays ANYTHING new and, though much of his records are still sick as hell, he never gives anything new a chance. that is admittedly a real drawback to the sort of anachronistic thinking you're criticising here... but the alternative can't be to lose what made us special as a tribe... just some thoughts, mate s funny story: i was listening to entheogenic's "dialogue of the speakers" and my wife (who doesn't like psy) was like "ok... so this is psychill... it sounds just like ambient techno... like old higher intelligence agency or children of dub or loop guru or something... what makes it PSY?" my response: "well, frankly, ott used to make goa trance (toxic recall) and people who dig entheogenic dress like goa kids used to. so it's mainly associative, come to think of it..." is psychill just ambient music made by old goa people? and yes, some neogoa doesn't innovate enough. but lots of it does! anoebis isn't just some nostalgic cultural archaeologist... he's totally relevant in 2011 IMO...

AFGIN -- i want you to know that i really really disagree with you about the psy vs. the eurotrance scenes... there are easily as many unscrupulous, in-it-for-the-money, alcoholic douchebags in the eurotrance scene as there are "permafried" acidheads and potheads who make everyone's life hard in the psytrance scene. my experience is that there will be different bad characters, and different good ones, in each scene. what goa and psy bring is the UNDERGROUND vibe that even eurotrance had in the early 90s, when i lived in holland, but that can pretty much only be found in the druggier, more overtly countercultural scenes now. point 2: i also really want you to know that i sympathize with your situation. there was a crew around here (not really a crew, you know, but a profit machine) doing these fucking gigantic McRaveswith above and beyond, mau5 etc. and they really screwed everyone over... and it's a real letdown to have parties turn into that... point 3: you are a fucking class act, as has been virtually unanimously assented to, in the thread above, and i LOVE your unique sound... i remember when rave anthems were complicated and structurally varied... ayla - ayla used to be underground as fuck back in the late 90s before tiësto got his anti-scene paws all over it, killed it for a year, then discarded it. THANK YOU SO MUCH for bringing underground sounds back into melodic anthems! you are almost the only artist (along with other suntrip artists) who does so... and you do it in a way that appeals to people who don't know about the "underground" or "counterculture" of psy, which can be admittedly a bit self-conscious... and not just appealing to those of us who were listening to doof and hallucinogen fifteen years ago... much love! s

looking forward to hearing this, guys! thanks for the review! i play "ancient race" a lot... nothing like true 604!

Is there ANYONE in here from the IC/Coralville/Cedar Rapids area? I am moving up to Iowa City this August and I play Goa and Psy... hoping to find the scene up there, as I simply can't live without parties to look forward to... I'll be living in downtown IC. Let's party this fall! redscare. (from houston, tx)
