Agneton

Commercial music, essentially I'd say, is music that was consciously written and produced with the purpose of appealing to the biggest possible crowd, given the current 'hypes'. That's definetely not what Afgin was trying to do with his Trance output, he simply and wholeheartedly loves this type of music. Complexity, easy-listening, etc. has nothing to do with the question how commercial music is, afaik. Honestly the term is so biased and that's why I'd rather not see it written in the context of this artist. We can discuss about it of course, this is just my honest opinion.

Calling his newer work commercial is completely wrong. Melodic trance in the style of Afgin had a peak around the start of the 00ies but nowadays is way less popular than Psytrance. You're applying definitions of the term 'commercial' as used in 2002, not 2020. Secondly, to answer the OP, he doesn't produce as much anymore, but still plays sets quite often. Last year alone I saw him playing live in Beligum, Spain and Israel.

Ace Ventura is far from the worst example of this kind of minimal drop-infested culture. Go check the average Brazil psytrance-festival video on youtube for a truely horrific experience :p promo-videos posted by artists only feature the drop-points because that's the (only) part where people go wild. Example: Edit: Missing the times where drops were called climaxes.

Thanks to Discogs, this question got a lot easier to answer https://www.discogs.com/style/goa+trance According to the graphic, we're talking about more than 4.500 releases with Goa Trance released in the nineties (which could also mean CD's with only one Goa track, I suppose). Vinyls included. Case dismissed :p

There's a video circulating on FB that allegedly shows him playing on the party a few minutes before he got shot... he was playing his remix on Astral Projection - Let There Be Light

Alienapia plays in parties...will perform in the upcoming Connection festival afaik!

Obvously answer is make meaning so msuc uyes. No yes.

Tracks sound good. Keep it up. This is good.

very small scene I believe, mostly in small bars with crowds of 50-100 people max no? That seems to have been the ongoing situation in the greek scene for the last decade, but the fact it's still ongoing proves there's at least some real lovers of the genre around there which is nice.

Isn't this the documentary featuring the infamous "kyklous" dude? :p
