I don't have experience with Wordpress so i can't speak about it, maybe Basilisk can tell us little more about it (afaik, Ektoplazm got wordpress engine, and works great. Speaking about Joomla, yeah it's a bit complicated when you first start with it. There is a bunch of modules, some of them are active when you log in as a administrator. If you decide to use Joomla for the first time, my suggestion is: Don't forget to install example template with all modules turned on, it's much easire to understand the way Joomla works. For example every single article on the website should have his own category and section, something like this: Section: Reviews Category: Albums Article: Radical Distortion - Psychedelic... Section: News) Category: New Releases Article: some random announcement Section: Reviews Category EP's Article: Artha - Fluori EP and so on... Dunno about this safe mode, but on my server i can't upload files and media through Joomla uploader - only with FTP program works in my case. Speaking of design, yeah, there is a bunch of free templates on the internet, and there is two ways of making different outlook. If you got html page already, Joomla got feature to implement html files and images into Joomla (TBH, i never worked with this, but i notice that feature recently). Other way is to manually edit php files of selected template, it's not a big deal, all you need to do before editing is to make a backup of .php file that you're editing, and after that you can replace headers, default fonts, content and table backgrounds directly through ftp programs.

If you decide to start a front page I suggest Joomla engine, it's really cool stuff, you can build your own website, add a content in categories and sections, It allows member registration, voting articles/reviews, submitting weblinks. There is also few modules that support banners, image galeries, webshop and stuff like that. It's not a problem to link existing forum with frontpage, all you need to do is to make an external link in a menu bar. Joomla is great stuff for reviews, because on Neogoa (which uses Joomla engine) you can see what I'm talking about, text editors are similar to this ones here, you can add images, links, html codes, lists, metadata descriptions. All you need is a server with mysql and some FTP program.

Nah, that's my mistake, when i started labels section, links form was c/p and first one wrong lol. Anyhow, now all fixd. Let me know if you find any other mistakes in texts or smth. Thanks

Hey thanks for correction, it's updated now. Well speaking of reviews database and releases database, Releases database will be filled with only Newschool albums/compilations and EP's. Maybe I'll merge that section with Newschool Goa reviews so that we won't need to type same texts and infos twice. Anyhow, at this moment on the website there is cca 100 Reviews and more is comming. We're also looking for even more reviewers so if someone is interested, just send me a note - iparic70@gmail.com Thanks Agneton!

Sorry for delay, now it's online Here Enjoy

I totally disagree with this. Why? Well thank god we all have internet and social services that provide great promotion like myspace, soundcloud, facebook and every ''artist'' can promote his work via them. You don't need to be supersmart to do a proper promotion, all you need is basic internet knowledge and material to promote. The thing is that scene (and i mean - newschool goa scene) needs to push harder, follow example of some serious labels like Suntrip or Kagdila, give their best to release quality music with proper mastering, not to release every goddamn ''goa'' artist they found on myspace and internet. That's my opinion and when I started with Neogoa/Dimensional GW thing, I wanted to be honest with myself and with guys who sended their tracks, and that means if track isn't good enough - let them know. It's hard thing, but hey, better help to artist is if you say ''look dude, mix is bad'' or ''that melody is freakin' boring'' than WOW that rocks, let's do an EP net relase. There is bunch of people who doesn't listen to (neo)goa music just because of half-products. Sorry for offtopic.

On our facebook fan page i promised announcement after 01.12. well, one week earlier won't spoil excitement for nice upcoming goodies in 2011.

From our (Neogoa) side expect in 2011: - ASTRANCER EP - ARRONAX FULL LENGHT - SKY TECHNOLOGY EP (Warm up for his debut on one label) - Neogoa ''Untitled V/A 2011'' - Dimensional Gateway Sequel Take care!

My appologies about that, we had a crash two days ago and because of that ALL content is LOST, but we're doing our best to bring back lost content, and yeah, thanks guys for your feedbacks, if you want to work/share your works with Neogoa, send us an email. Cheers

Yeah i saw you left a shout Too bad i can't afford better soundquality on streams (only 128)

http://www.neogoa.tk For all Goa Trance fans there is one place to be - Neogoa, a web portal where you can find detailed information about all artists and publishers who are specialized in newborn Goa Trance trend and music. Neogoa.tk follows the newest releases in this genre, and offers a great number of reviews from all spheresa of psychedelic sound, from downtempo/ambient to psy trance & goa trance. Besides this role, Neogoa has evolved into a net-label too. Moreover, Neogoa works as a radio-promoter for all interested newschool goa trance artists and DJs, and it cooperates with other web portals and organizations. The very first version of the web site was created during the summer 2010, when Richpa extended his previously written texts with databases which contained all the necessary information about artists and labels - all with one goal; to share all relevant information about Goa Trance in one place. Shortly after, the idea of creating a new VA compilation became vivid. The final result - the "Dimensional Gateway", a conceptual compilation which will be experienced as a real "psychedelic space odyssey" by many people. The goal of this release was to truthfully represent the essence of Goa Trance, and we believe that we have succeeded to achieve it. The future of Neogoa project will be directly linked to the community, as it already was from the very beginning. We have established important connections with many organizations, artists, DJs and web portals. The plans are clear - to work and to do our best in order to make our web site the best we can, so that visitors and users of our portal can have the best insight into the music we love and live for. One of our main goals in the future period will be to promote artists and DJs through our releases and radio shows.

One of the best uptempo/psytrance releases in this year.

About forum database, how large it is on server and what is average monthly traffic? Anyhow, I hope that we will have reviews kept on internet (at least as a read only), that is treasure of this board.

Thanks Jon for sharing your toughts, they will be helpfull for sure!

Thanks Overture8, glad you like it

Maybe it seems weird but from the very beginning I promised to artists and myself that I'll do this with good promotion, serios cover (with informations about artists) and offcourse proper mastering, even it's free release. The point here is to promote thoose guys in the best possible way, because they did awesome job with tracks. Also, best possible solution was to promote and host it on Ektoplazm, and for the second time I'm very glad to work with Basilisk. Review before it's out is logical decission, Mdk in my humble opinion writtes honest and objective reviews and I've asked him to do same thing for Dimensional Gateway (and I'm very thankful that he took his free time for this), so that people know what to expect before they decide to spend their bandwidth.
