To be fair i havent listened Goa since 2012... only 10% of releases. First of all no time due too much music and gigs... plus random shit and life... just no extra few hours to check releases. But what i heard i am impressed and i really love it, example Ephedra and Celestial Intelligence albums are insta classics for me, nothing less than Moment of Truth, Transidimensional, Phenomena, Dancing Galaxy in modern terms ofcourse And when you know guys and story behind them like i do, how simple but how genius they are it gives you completly new level of understanding and loving such music. What is lovely in new school scene is that everyone is connected and united. I remember last summer on Balkan Goa Fanatics i was going together with Celestial Intelligence and Zopmanika, 10-12h on road all we could speak is about music. There we met Cosmic Dimension, Veasna, Arronax, UX, Morphic Resonance, CoaGoa, Dalton, Stevo, Richpa and plenty more others. Days over days just speaking about production, advicing each other, reviewing, and enjoying in music everyone playing. When you hear their opinions and stories you will know that nobody is making music just because they are bored or they dont have something else to do, their into this music with whole their spirit and body. 150-200 people, artists and djs going wild on dancefloor just like everyone else, hanging out with everyone, having food drinks and joints with them, it was like pure 95 for us. But yes i heard some really bad stuff, like every music now and then have good, bad and solid music. Even some my stuff i consider as crappy Someone see scene going to hell, i see it growing into something wonderful. I am not protecting anything, it's just personal and professional opinion. Quot capita, tot sententiae

You must know that most of producers dont have musical backround or piano classes. They/we are just the guys who love music and one day open DAW and just make music. Producers making music they like and they can, not to impress some grumpy forum or facebook user. If doesnt match someones taste doesnt mean is bad on this or other way. Last 10 years everyone is crying about new school how is not like old school, but i can say i am happy it isnt! It passed 20 years of golden old school era and its supposed to go this way. Times are different so its the music. You see new school is exausted, i see it changing, blending with other genres and colleting stuff from them. As much as i love old school even most of old school was crappy, bad mixes, bad masterings, etc... it was analog now its digital and cleaner and louder. Compare fullon from 2003 and from 2016, or psychedelic or forest, same story. People complaining why there are no dark tracks? Personaly i dont like dark goa, i love acidish, floating and euphoric, sometimes psychedelic but not dark. Have you considered that artists are not interested making dark goa? As scene is small its hard to get international gigs, and yes if artist want to be heard and want to play he must respect some 'standards' of today. If you haven't noticed some new school Goa artists getting booked for major psytrance festivals worldwide... Boom, SUN, Lost Theory, Psy-Fi... and on them to get booked is almost impossible... but you see its possible because quality. And people want new music, not something they yeard 105120124 times Time changed, music changed, everything changed. Like it should be. Crowd changed what is most important! Here some are veterans some are new but worldwide there is much younger crowd now and they are interested in new music. For them Agneton or Filteria are Astral Projection of today etc. They see and hear music much different than you And yes, now just like in 90s there is loads of crappy music. But what is crappy or not can be based on taste too. For you something is crappy, for me it could be new Teleport or Mahadeva.

Dafaq, everybody got their CDs today just not me... and its mine cd!

Here comes Dhalsimba by Fredrik @ Ethereal

LOL i didnt even know we were at same party... maybe we met but i cant remember. It was so crowded! I know when i came like 30 minutes before gig security told me you cant come in, its full... and i said ok but i have to play soon and he said you have to see that with organizer ahahah. All chaotic but great party and people!

Downtemped one but so trippy and hard... with monster acid lines <3

I know DJing but i am not dj and due to no time i have no time to practice on players even if i know them... so i play from traktor from time to time on my/our parties when needed or requested by crowd. As for mixing i dont like putting effects as tracks are already filled and good, for effects i can use phaser or flanger when there is no good enough uplifter to put accent on coming drop etc... i love smooth transition but not very long, 15-20 sec max and it doesnt to have that every track is beatmatched. When needed or i think is needed i put it outro/intro because crowd and myself need chilly parts without beats, and after 1 minute of no beat crowd just cant wait to explode For selecting track its long process... whole week sometimes. And sometimes i dont prepare anything just play what i think its good in exact moment. But i love them prepared, so first of all i look first track with interesting intro to make a little break and announce that new mix is coming, not jsut to start with filter like todays music, first second with kick bass. And then i look track A and track B thats coming to have smiliar kicks and energy. If i have muddy kick on track A i will have smiliar in track B... never sharp kick on muddy or oposite. For more cleaner mixing and transition i mix one track with example only kick in another with only kick or kick in bassline. Never basslines on both tracks. I love mixes more dynamic, not just fullpower beatmatch every track Also if i have hats on track A i will have on track B too, just ofcourse with some EQing. If one track doesnt have hats and in other ones finish it will be big sudden change in energy i noticed.. Tracklist is prepared and tested, each track for transitions and ofcourse i always have extra tracks... each DJ has his own ideas and technics And i know one DJ who is in goa almost since beggining and he perfected his mixing in each way but for example he never beatmatched them because he said i didnt do it in old days with tapes and i want to remain old school.

That track name... it's internal joke

Bubbling acid and kick on this one...

Thanks guys, i am really happy with such a support! I promise future releases will be even better, as i cleared some compilation tracks now next 3-4 months i will focus hard on mixing of album tracks It's not too late mate, in couple of days Suntrip shop will recieve dozen of copies so be sure to check their updates. I am waiting for them too! But according to photos they seems fantastic, there is gloss added too!

I know some with superb music playing whole live burned on cd... even worse because some are really good friends and they piss me off it's not like i am actually playing live as i still don't know play piano but at least i fill it with infinite amount of sounds and effects, at least something is live lol Traktor set would be more live then just pressing play...

Despite new school hater sayings... i believe we have huge list of New School Goa essential releases and many modern classic tracks. Maybe in 5-10 years they will be worshiped just like Mahadeva, LSD and Teleport. At least i do

Hello! Some days ago i found it on facebook made by some guy... this can be very useful if you don't already know: For video, better resolutions and more info visit: http://darksock.com/frequency-chart-desktop/ Hope this will help you

E P I C ! Listen to beats... pure Astral Projection fatness. I believe this is what Hector really needed, and what really loves. In progressive he was limited with standards they have, kicks, bass, percussions, fart sounds... goa as one of most complex styles will allow him to do whatever he want and however he is inspired at the moment. He is new now but imagine in few years when he masters style and production... what the hell!

Opposite, i noticed as longer as it is they just cant wait for first kick to strike and dancefloor explodes!

I uploaded whole track here: I reworked it a bit, cleared and polished

Transmutation is modern classic!

Love it! I wish there are more contests, much fun and good vibes around them!

Ha, this was from serbian TV back in 90s... and i know one of the guys who worked on trance program here... i will ask him!

Long ago he start developing passion for Goa Trance, playing dj sets, making goa compilations, doing vinyl only sets on local parties in Chile, exporing and learning goa trance... i just waited for this and i knew it is going to happen. It's great!

And there are rumors that guys will stay there for few days and do all-collab together

Now we have NHJO!

There was goa, then fullon and now progressive... it will pass in few years for sure. Something new will come up (hopefuly not offbeat only prog lol)

This. It is contest, made for fun and friendship, better connection between members/music lovers. And we knew we wont get rich, famous or have best masterings and promo ever... still i am super happy with end results. It's friends compilation and one more proof that we are not just random forum full of trolls

It's not brickwalled like most of masterings today. So yup, comparing with these it is dynamic.
