the goa constrictor

I brought Rip Van Hippy to Oregon in 2010. It was a dream come true. I love him so much. I really wanted to add SWM to the line up but couldn't afford it. Was a great party though... http://apolloslute.com Bummed to not be getting SWM but MASA had the best set at the Oregon Eclipse festival the other year and I'm super excited to hear him again. While a lot of these artists are common for many parts of the world, not for the USA. In 2006 I started throwing a series of events called **GOA PARTY** [note: Marsh who run goatranch.com and the Global Goa Party events played at the first **GOA PARTY** and hi-jacked the name for his stuff a couple of years later....] The first one had each DJ playing a tribute set of a specific artist. Over half of those are playing ZNA (you can listen to about 8hrs of the first **GOA PARTY** here: http://goaconstrictor.com/thoughts/goa-party/ ) The second year **GOA PARTY 2.3** was a trip back in time. First set was 2007 and each set went back a year The third year was the TR1LOLGY and had a secret DJ set from Process and we brought out astro turf and pine tree car air freshners to the forest to give the outdoors a good outdoor motif The fourth year I DJ'd a 25 hour set to battle Goa Gil. It was my Goa Gil Constrictor set. I played many tag team sets with friends throughout the gig and it was a lot of fun to map out a full days worth of music. The fifth year was the Rip Van Hippy party. Now I can simply attend a ridiculous festival with all of the actual artists and have a holiday. This is like a dream come true. Sure I have to fly overseas, but I've lost a couple thousand throwing events locally, and this way I won't need to have responsibilities. lolololol (although, if I can convince them to cut Xenomorph in half, I'd love to play a set there. just have no idea how to make that happen...) EDIT: That's not actually true. It's a nice alternate reality but I'm really into the itinerary I've got going on for my vacation. What I was implying was that this is the first festival that I've really thought my sensibilities would match with. I guess I'm floating this into the universe for future alignment of realities... =)

Just saw this:

Could anyone tell if it was filmed? I could picture a Blu-ray release of this...

^^^ lololololololol sounds about right

That's the exact type of nitpicking that helps! Thank you for that info!!! =)

Yeah, I think the less splitting the better.

The main floor line-up has finished posting! A mix of artists I am super excited to see, some I've never heard of that I'm excited to see, a few I'm less engaged about but will gladly check out, and a few I can definitely miss while sleeping or eating or whatever... =) One's I'm excited for: Color Box, Dino Psaras, Elysium, James Monro, Juno Reactor, Mark Allen, Menis/Semsis, MFG, Miko, Man with no Name, Quirk, Ray Castle, Shaolin Wooden Men, S_Range, Star Sounds Kontinuum, SUN Project, Total Eclipse, Tromesa, Tsuyoshi, Ubar Tmar, and Vibrasphere! There are definitely others I'm happy about seeing (like Jaia and Atmos) but I'm not a super fan of and would be okay if I somehow missed their sets. Got my flight tickets, so I'll be getting to Portugal a day or so early and renting an AirBnB for a night or two. Will allow me a chance to go buy some food locally so I can bring it to the event with me. Get to spend some time in France before the event and Scotland afterward. August is gonna be a blast! I'm taking the ZNA bus out to the site on the 18th to hopefully secure a good camping location. If anyone has tips on where to post up for shade and such, please let me know =) Anyone know if there is a big concern for security? Should I be super paranoid about leaving stuff in my tent and such?

Not on 180 gram vinyl? Really? I wasn't really paying too close attention to the details of the release, as I wasn't gonna buy it, but that's a shame. If you're gonna release a hella expensive collector print, that should be in 180gram virgin vinyl. That's a bummer

I would buy a Metallica album, and go see them live, if you were part of the band...

Younger Brother has got to be next! Hopefully toward the end of the year, after summer would be best =)

Oh man, they've been added to the ZNA lineup! This is gonna be awesome =) Also: the Atmos remix of Statistic is so wonderful and every time I have seen Atmos, I have hoped he would slip it into a set and he never does =(

seriously. that person is dodgy as fuck

The track The Deep on the first Movers and Groovers is top notch shit.

yay!!!!
