the goa constrictor

After that interview aired, there were some threads on the IM forums about it. One of their fans told me that if I ever go to Israel, he was gonna kill me. lololol I guess some IM fans don't have a sense of humor.

You've got part of my dream party lineup going on... =) 2200-0000 - James Reipas 0000-0200 - Tekniset 0200-0400 - Nervasystem 0400-0600 - Space Cat 0600-0800 - Man With No Name 0800-1000 - Ticon 1000-1200 - Nick Taylor DJ Set

I love you DAT Records! I was chatting with Gus Till a while back and he mentioned an OG unreleased mix of Funkus Munkus... You know, in case you feel like tracking that down for the next comp. (and maybe you can convince Simon to let you release the 45 minute Hallucinogen remix of Slinky Wizard's "The Wizard" too...) =) xoxox

If you're gonna dig into Platipus Records with Union Jack, I highly recommend the double album from Quietman called "Shhh" The first disk is a masterful psychedelic melodic progressive acid trance album. Really prime of that era of Platipus. Then the second disk is beautiful ambient and downtempo music. I can't recommend it enough. The piano and melodies on it are so lush. Definite A+ material.

I am still waiting for a remaster of Intellect as the mastering of this album is absolutely atrocious. I agree that this is one of the prime examples of why Goa Trance was so powerful back in the day, but some labels really dropped the ball here and there on the mastering. This isn't the only comp with this problem and most of the tracks on here got released elsewhere and have other mastering choices, but Intellect is not one of those and the flatness of it makes my heart weep when I play it out A+ comp as far as track selection goes C/C- for mastering

I play a lot of Mandalvandalz n Luomuhappo tracks (brought Mandalavandalz/Texas Faggott out for their debut USA performance). Giving a list of music can be a pisser, I have a new Artist Tag Cloud on my website that you should try checking out. The cloud links to artists on DJ mixes, so if you click on Mandalavandalz, you see mixes with them on it. From there you can check the track listings and look at the artists surrounding it and get some ideas as to the energy of things (like if you see Man With No Name after a MVZ track, it was likely a fluffy MVZ track). The trick to the fluffy stuff is to not get distracted by the nutty stuff. If you're previewing a track and quickly bouncing around, you might totally miss how fluffy and melodic it really is. You're just gonna hear madness or something dischordant with small segments, but if you actually listen to full tracks (and especially full albums), you'll start to find them. Also, check out everything on Freakdance Records, Hippie Killer Productions, Trance Bum Productions has a bunch of great albums on Ektoplazm for free too.

I don't really like to BSP on here, but I am a deep lover of Orbital and "The Girl with the Sun in her Hair" as well. I made a non-psy mix many many years ago with this track and some other melodic techno n electronica. If you are in the mood for it, give it a listen... http://goaconstrictor.com/audio/good-morning.mp3 (track list and such: http://goaconstrictor.com/music/good-morning-to-you/ ) Other good artists are Fuzzion, Fun Toy, Mr Sakitumi, Dank. Maybe Vishnudata, Blue Planet Corporation?

I probably should have waited and just ordered from you. I feel like the person who gave me a death threat after the Infected Mushroom interview still has it out for me...

Woohoo! Hopefully mine is in this batch. Been waiting and waiting with bated breath...

Kixotek http://logger.hypertextures.us/search/label/music (scroll to the bottom and grab his album Hypertextures) also has a track on: Crop Circle Jerk

nice

Maybe try some Talpa or track down some old Spectral (Blue Room Released) If you have the time, check out Ubar Tmar/uvAntum.com and various Mandalavandalz/Texas Faggott stuff too. Both artists are generally received as being far more nutty and crazy but when they decide to get "their Goa on" and bring out the lush melodies and soothing bass, they create some very fluffy music...

King Goa Constrictor - A Psynny Afternoon Mix [::::download::::] (3hr04min/VariableMP3/391MB/©2013) Genre: Psynny Afternoon Psychedelic Trance I love seasons. Seasons are great. From the cold and rainy fall -> spring to the warm and sunny spring -> fall; seasons just kick ass. It's been a long spring of health issues, moving and car issues, and then stresses of broken bones and the beginning of summer festival season. Throughout it all, there have been stresses as well as joys. It's been overwhelmingly positive and I feel like life has grown much around me. Sometimes, on any particular day, I just need some good bouncy progressive and acidic psychedelic trance to feel the energies of the cosmos around me. Featuring tracks from: Zen Lemonade, Satori, Green Oms, Texas Faggott, eXuUs, Man With No Name, Koxbox, Sensient, Beat Bizarre, Jurek Przezdziecki, Ticon, Hallucinogen, Eraser vs Yojalka, Mantrix, Astroschautzer, Mista Spalding, Cycle Sphere vs Eskimo, The Zap, The Chemical Brothers, AudioGramme Metahuman, Ten-G, New Order, The Beatles, Beastie Boys, Kiwa, Pavel Svimba, Biz Markie, DJ 0.000001, Bruno Mars, Electric Universe, Transwave, and more!

Take care and I'll see you all on the dance floor again soon! xoxox -A'damn

(I swear that I posted this review in here a few years back when it was originally released, but just in case...) Artist: Pavel Svimba Album: Space Babuska Label: Hippie Killer Productions Link to Pavel's Soundcloud Download here on Ektoplazm (MP3, FLAC, WAV) Review: Hola! I feel that it has been quite a while since I have written a review, and that seems lame, so here is an album that I’d like to recommend! Pavel Svimba is a moniker, but I would have never known that if I didn’t read it somewhere. Since all knowledge is good knowledge, we should maybe file this piece of info somewhere in the vast vaults known as Your Brain. While you are inside of your brain, take a look around. Revisit your life. Revisit your past, your hopes, your dreams. Revisit the smiles of each one of your friends, every single laugh you have heard, and think about those times you bumped your knee or fell because you were in sych a hurry to play as much as you could. Now come back out here and let’s chat. Or better yet, let’s dance! Life is kind of crazy, you know? Shit keeps happening. Life keeps going forward. The real world is becoming more like the Internet and the Internet keeps becoming more like the real world. There is a neverending barrage of New Food Stuffs at fast food chains and marijuana is still illegal in most places for seemingly no good reason. I dunno. Life, it’s trippy. When listening to Space Babuska, you get the feeling that Pavel Svimba has been paying attention to life a bit. He’s certainly paying attention to the music that accompanies life much like Mansell’s scores accompany an Aronofsky movie. Space Babuska is a wonderful and unique blend of various styles of music. From the more Flute-in-Finnish-Forest sounds of Huopatossu Mononen to the DMT Beach Parties of Lemon Slide. From the heavy bass and percussion of Mandalavandalz to even delicately rolling melodies of classic Platipus Records and Goa Trance; this album tweaks them all. BUT! (and this is kind of important) The album also sounds singular and specific. This isn’t an ADHD smash&grab either. The flow of songs on here move quite well from one to the next and yet the tracks vary enough to offer multiple different options for DJs who like to play a variety of styles and different sounding sets. You can listen to the album front to back without feeling like you are just listening to collection of SoundCloud singles or anything like that and it doesn’t get repetitive or monotonous either. I’m not a fan of track-by-track reviews, but I’ll give you a short glimpse of what is inside: The album opens with Free Step On It! and with a classic Goa bubbling sound that leads into a funky muted guitar riff as the beach party takes shape. This leads into some nice orchestral strings and the great morning stomp of Space Babushka. I feel I have heard this song and the birds chirping therein many times, but I haven’t. It is just instantly recognizable and I kind of wish that I had had this with me earlier in the summer at ChxFst211. Then things pick up and we get more fast and upbeat in things. Then we get to the song Narrow Shoulders, which is seriously one of my most favorite songs right now. The deep rock kick and snappy snare mixed with that phat synth and then the lovely Texas-Faggott-meets-Union-Jack-concept-album-from-an-alternate-reality-Platipus-Records comes into play. The song fucking slays me in all the right ways. Good job. Then things keep getting a bit more rockin’ while still retaining its forest gnome sensibilities. The occasional metal guitar stabs, the flutes and percussion choices, the tweaked samples. The Yellow Snail Man -> Fuckin’ Brains sequence gets into some of that Suomi UFO Encounter stuff and then it ends with Teknikal Problems, a short little ditty that kind of wraps things up. . Life is just a moment in time. Life is life. And with that weird ending, I shall close this review. The album is good. It is fun and it is matching my mood right now. There are no bad tracks but there are definitely a couple of massively standout ones too! Maybe life’s days are like this album; never a bad day but definitely some great ones mixed in too… xoxox -A’damn

It's been about a month, I should go ahead and make the track listing easier for you all to see. 3.5hr commitment can be quite the commitment if you don't trust me... Arc 1 Arc 2 Arc 3 If anyone knows of some promoters looking to add a spoonful of Psymply Psychedelic music, please get them in touch with me. It's always nice to bounce a dance floor with people as opposed to just composing mixes in a studio. Cheers

Synchro f-buckets! Totally Rad! Thank you =) I miss Synchro

I doubt that first track is Transwave because I would almost never play two tracks from the same artist back to back. I thought that was lazy djing Second could be some Creamcrop. I should dig through their discography and check it out. Or maybe an Elektrik Orgasm track. I'll get on the hunt. Thanks for the help, even though you KNEW NOTHING! lololol MORE HELP PLEASE! =)

Artist: Texas Faggott Album: Tranz Toilette Label: Bandcamp Link/Buy: rytmimystiikka.bandcamp.com/album/texas-faggott-tranz-toilett Review: You know, it’s been so long since I have written an album review, I almost wondered if I would ever actually do it again. But, then again, I kind of thought that Texas Faggott was over and dead too, so perhaps this is a fitting excuse to write a review. Well, that and the fact that this album is fucking AWESOME. Over the years, Timo has been focusing so much on the Mandalavandalz and Satanic Disney monikers that I kind of assumed that Texas Faggott was over and done with. It servered its purpose, did its time, and was time to let that moniker be put to rest and allow for other monikers to explore the new sounds. But, that’s just kind of stupid. Texas Faggott will always be the top tier moniker for Timo’s music and he may as well use it from time to time. Now, if you follow the discography of Timo’s output, you’ll know that Mandalavandalaz “The King of the Bad Trips” was kind of his last full length release. And it was a solid nutron bomb of psychedelic madness. It’s really hard for me to find most of what is considered “forest” or “dark psy” to be anything but laughable because Timo just fucking NAILED ‘The King of the Bad Trips’ so masterfully. THAT was an album that was dark, twisted, scary, and psychedelic. Where was he to go from there? Well, ‘Tranz Toilette’ is a pretty fucking solid return to form. I’ve had a weird torrid affair with the Psychedelic Dance world for a little while now. Shit was getting boring and stale. I was an emotional pile of rubbish. Things just weren’t coming together properly. Then, over this past winter, I was reborn and recognized my role as King. Since then, I’ve been gobbling up different psychedelic sounds and let me tell you, Tranz Toilette is everything I could have hoped it would be. Timo has a unique skill and take on psychedelic music. He understands the aliens, the sylphs, the massive use of panning, the gated vocals and samples, proper use of a bass line, and of course, all of the weird swirling and chirping alien sounds. The fucker composes extremely gratifying alien rush hour traffic cosmic dance music. In a way, that’s all I need to say. If you’re already a fan of Texas Faggott and the related projects, this new album will not disappoint. If you’re not already a fan, I really don’t know if this is the album that will change your mind. But, maybe you should try again anyway. Timo is of a rare breed in the Psychedelic Trance world; often imitated, never quite copied, always able to bring together the warmth of a morning melody with the darkness of the nastiest twisted music out there. Another A+ for Timo and thanks again for all of the lovely music over the years. xoxox -King Goa Constrictor

Hello! I recently uploaded an old mix of mine to my website and was trying to fill out the track listing for it and two tracks have stumped me. The mix would have been recorded sometime between 2004-6, and the two tracks may have been old, new, or unreleased. I really have no clue. Luckily, they are right next to each other on the mix, so it is pretty easy to listen to both tracks. The mix is called Project Epona 2: Goa All Over Your Face and can be downloaded here: goaconstrictor.com/audio/TheGoaConstrictor-GoaAllOverYourFace.mp3 The tracks I am curious about are between the Deedrah - The Wizard Demo and Eat Static - Epidemic tracks. Roughly the 8min -> 19min markers. If anyone can help out with these two tracks, I'd like to post the complete track listing. Thank you
