This is happening in about 45 minutes, friends! Please join us!!! listen http://di.fm/goapsy chat server: irc.di.fm channel: #goa party info http://goatranch.com/2015/03/19/global-goa-party-5-1997

That's right - this happens THIS SATURDAY 4/18! Part of the fun of these parties is chatting with your fellow Goa-heads as the tunes jam. Here's a little blurb I wrote up last year for the info on the party chat... JOIN US. Please join us in the #goa room on irc.di.fm for the party chat! We get super geeky with all the trainspotting and music talk, and as the night progresses things can also get kinda weird. Just the way we like it. If you are familiar with IRC, just use your favorite client and join: server: irc.di.fm room: #goa If you haven’t used IRC before, it’s quite easy, especially if you use one of the following links to join the room: Mibbit Kiwi IRC WSIRC NOTE: Sometimes when using the web-based clients you’ll get an error about exceeding connection limits. If you get this, try one of the other links, or better yet, install a “real” IRC client on your favorite device. There are a bunch of free clients out there (I use mIRC on Windoze and AndroIRC on the phone) so you should be able to join no problem. It’s recommended that you get your client setup now before the party starts – the room is always up and running and isn’t just for the party, so you can test at any time.

Really dug this one, Ake! That Montauk P track is just the perfect opener.

Woohoo! Your statement is only 5% incorrect. Hope to see you both in IRC for this one!

Yup, no worries, all of the DJ mixes will be available for download on http://goatranch.comin the days following the party. I can't guarantee that Shakta's set will be downloadable, however, so perhaps you'll want to tune in just for that hour if you want to be sure to catch his set.

The Goat Ranch once again teams up with the Digitally Imported Goa-Psy Trance Channel to bring you another Global Goa Party!

Israel one of the hottest and most interesting groups in the world trance scene today. Kobi Toledano and Eitan Reiter have been producing high quality and original electronic music together since 2006, blending old school roots with cutting-edge fresh new sound. Refusing to adhere to fashions and formulas they have been paving their own road in the world of electronic music with their own special musical say. Their success in the last years proves that the crowd appreciates it and they have been performing in the biggest music festivals world wide, and have played in almost every country that holds electronic dance music events on this planet. EITAN REITER (aleph zero, digital structures , kompakt) Israel Eitan Reiter is a genre-crossing artist from Israel. As a part of the Unoccupied duo he produces and writes electro acoustic music and releases psy-trance as half of Loud. In addition, he remixes and collaborates with loads of other producers and creates music for film and other media. Also watch out for his amazing new project with Sebastian Mullaert from (Minilogue / Son Kite)...You can get it here:http://www.kompakt.fm/releases/reflections_of_nothingness PERFECT STRANGER http://www.perfectlystrange.com/ A generic label would not do justice to the depth of Perfect Stranger's heartfelt music, which transposes feelings from across the wide range of human emotions. In his creation, you'll find tracks inspired by the bliss of sunbeams, by an ironic but yet candid take on the simple pleasures of life, or by the darker side of the self. His demanding standards regarding what our man qualifies as the "art" of sound, have led him to appropriate today's trend, undoubtedly Techno, which he also DJ's with a rare understanding and acute intelligence. His "new hybrid sound", that incorporates Progressive Trance embedded in the dirty Techno-ish grooves and breakdowns, actually enables to maintain that old school spirit that is missed so much nowadays, but in a totally new and exciting presentation and composition. That is why it's the ultimate brain candy out there at the moment. Poster Artwork by Alexander Musgrave

Yay! "Class of '97" is one of my all-time favorites. Downloading this and Shamanic Influences immediately.

Hello, Psnoozers! Just a reminder about this little virtual party happening tomorrow on your local internets. The party will be streaming on DI.fm's Goa/Psy channel starting at 4PM EST/8PM UK, and I'll also be posting all of the mixes up on the Goat Ranch for download sometime tomorrow morning(ish) in case you'd rather download and play in your own audio player. Thanks everyone, hope to "see" you all there.

Hello my Psynews friends! I would like to formally announce Global Goa Party 2, the second in a series of virtual parties showcasing 15 hours of mixes from 10 DJs from around the world; this time we're going back to 1996. We'll be taking you back once again to a time men were men, women were women, and mice were mice, and they all shook booty to some of the best electronic psychedelic dance music ever created (in the mices' opinion, that is). The cool cats over at the DI.fm Goa/Psy channel will once again be streaming the full party, and you'll be able to download each of the mixes on the day of the event if you'd rather line 'em up in Winamp and get down with yer baaad self. So, invite some friends over on March 24th, download the mixes or tune into DI.fm, fire up the black-lights and join your fellow doofers from around the world in their living rooms as we go up, UP and away to 1996...

And thanks back to you, ponce! It's always good to receive positive feedback on the Ranch. It's a labour of love for me and I'd probably still do it even if no one liked it, but I'm glad folks are enjoying it as much as I am.

Yup, all fixed, thanks!

Thanks Penzoline, though it looks like the title of the post is still incorrect. Is no biggy, really, I'll just be more careful next time (maybe less bourbon while I post?). heheh @Djuna: Yes, all the mixes stay online at the Goat Ranch as long as I can continue to afford to renew the hosting cost each year. Would love to have another one from ya!

Oopsies! Forgot to add the mix name to the title of the post - dang it! If a mod can fix, I'll bake you cookies. It should say: Goat Ranch Mix: kompressorkanonen - Lost Beaches Thanks!

Hello, everyone! The Goat Ranch has been quiet for a few months, but we're back and ready to provide y'all with a steady supply of old-school Goa in the new year. The first mix posted after coming back online is Secret Society by Psynews' own Hallucinary. With almost 2 hours of 1995-1998 Goa trance on vinyl, this makes for a tasty winter treat. Check it out, comment, and enjoy!

Hey all, the tracklist for Mark's mix is now available on the Ranch. More than a simple tracklist, it contains lots of historical tidbits and personal reflections on each of the 30 tracks. Check it out here: DJ Solitare - The Future Was Now: The Tracks

That Sibilant track is just ridiculous, I've got to get my hands on Proper Filth. This is the second mix I've heard recently with a Sibilant track in it, and both times I shit my dick off when I heard it. Never picked it up "back then", but must do so now. Metal Spark has always been a favorite of mine and I never realized how much Lorenzo Zoeter's influence would be heard in Sibilant...apparently a ton. Must find - and thanks for the reminder! EDIT: Actually, what I meant was that I didn't know Lorenzo Zoeter's influence was so much of Metal Spark...heheh.

Really digging this one so far, nice and crunchy. Techy, breaky, yummy. Thanks for the treat!

Happy Monday, kids! Just posted a new mix for all you old-school lovers out there. This one is 3.5hrs of Goa trance goodness mixed in-key by Mark Ainley and contains some hits as well as a few harder-to-spot tracks. Please check it out and comment if you're so inclined! DJ Solitare - The Future Was Now Oh, and you may notice the GR has had a facelift, hopefully easing navigation and allowing y'all to find the mix you need, when you need it. Enjoy!

Glad you dig it! Yeah, Jim's the real deal for sure - all vinyl and CD with smooth transitions expertly timed. If I was nearly as good as he, I'd probably still spin physical media!

Just posted another new old-school psytrance mix at the Goat Ranch, folks, this one from Jim'll Mixit featuring a 1998 feel that's sure to bring you right back to the golden age of electrically charged psychedelic tweakitude in proper fashion. Get it here: Jim'll Mixit - Neurogenesis Thanks for listening, y'all!

Agreed, I'm lovin' this one, TTT. So classy, so chewy...me likey!

Hey all, I've just posted a new old-school Goa mix at the 'ranch, would love for you to download and enjoy, if you wish. Music For Space Elevators
