Etnica - Nice Toy @ 10:05

May I suggest taking a listen to Varese Dream. Last time I played this in a DJ set the dancefloor exploded

Out today on Ektoplazm too: http://www.ektoplazm.com/free-music/fluorotronik That's OK, I think modern goa trance is in a need of a punk rock attitude anyway

Ooh, thanks for that And I sure know Amygdala. I just wish he'd release more music

I've already listened to this album more times than Museum Of Consciousness, and it's been out for less than 2 weeks. MOC was released 4 years ago :DD While I still don't consider this particularly groundbreaking or mindblowing, and while it has basically all ingredients you'd expect from a Shpongle album, it still manages to sound unlike anything else out there. There's less silly FX fuckery this time, and I'm positively amused by Raja's babblings (and it sounds like he's cracking up at the end of I Woke Up As A Shlummutz) Reminds me most of Ineffable Mysteries in its overall feeling.

I just went through a few of the releases and identified some tracks. Seems like the most "effort" by this "label" has gone into coming up with shitty artist and track names :DDDD

Listening to this album is a bit like reading a love letter to a girl you're not particularly fond of. If you didn't already know, I don't hold the Etnica / Pleiadians / Crop Circles trinity in nearly as high regard as much of the goa scene does. That being said, I can definitely feel the amount of passion poured into this, but as with the aforementioned love letter, that passion unfortunately doesn't reach me personally. I'm much more interested in hearing whatever own tracks he's been (and will be) cooking, as his recent compilation tracks have been nothing but stellar

Thanks Antimatter, and Shaari Avadon too, are from the Qlippoth album.

An independent DIY bicycle workshop in Helsinki had a support party last weekend, raising funds to keep them going. I played some rather organic and moody downtempo on the alternative stage. Tracklist: Altair - Outsider Looking In PhasePhour - Tetraphobia Blue Pilots Project - Gadfly Shulman - One Step Closer DownHill - Three Years Drought Bluetech - Oleander (Phutureprimitive Symbiotic Remix) Symbioosi - Subterranea Carbon Based Lifeforms - Nattväsen Xerxes - Longyaard Krusseldorf - Higher Culture Easily Embarrassed - Smooth Operator Static Noise Bird - The Meltdown Of The Crestfallen Cygnet One Arc Degree + Cybernetika - Nether Moon Carbon Based Lifeforms - Loss Aversion

Well that looks like a yummy tracklist, and I see a bunch of familiar artists from my own sets I do have a bad habit of barely ever listening to people's DJ sets, but I might take a listen to this in the upcoming weeks.

The only track on this comp I could very well live without is the 2nd Filteria track (Math Is God Is Math). Rather indistinguishable from a few dozen other generic Filteria tracks. Burn, on the other hand, is refreshingly different from basically anything else he's done (K.O.B. included). A solid release indeed, and a nice goa/psytrance hybrid. I definitely need to test these on the dancefloor

For the past 5 years we've had a small and intimate, mostly oldschool themed party each summer in a suitably remote island (2012-2013) / beach (2014->) location here in Helsinki, usually around the middle/end of August when the nights are getting a bit darker again. Since 2015 it's been a 2 night event, and my set here is from the first night this year. I played a mostly improvised 02-04 night set, decided to skip all the cosmic swirling fluff, and went instead for a 2 hour all-out twisted mindfuck journey. It screams, screeches and growls and gets obnoxiously loud and in your face with a sledgehammer at times. This is as close to my personal definition of "night time psychedelic dance music" as it currently gets. Of course the goa trance backbone is still there, I'll never let go of that. Feedback after the gig was nothing but positive, <3 to everyone involved. Here's to another 5 years Tracklist: Space Tribe - The Future's Right Now Tarsis & DJ Kaya - A Higher Form Of Life Hux Flux - Idiot Hux Flux - Alkaloid Cosmosis - Pigs In Space Infected Mushroom - Return Of The Shadows Infected Mushroom - Psycho Xenomorph - Antimatter Tim Schuldt - Pretty Poison Slide - The Search Lunar Asylum - Bubble Bamboo Forest - Xplorer Xenomorph - Shaari Avadon Pigs In Space - Solar Darshan - Tranceformation ECT - Helpless (2012 Remaster)

Well that didn't stop DAT from releasing the I.F.O. remaster, or the same case with Zion604 and Multimoods. AFAIK they're both remastered from the original CD release. Correct me if I'm wrong by all means

Hey, thanks for the heads up This is one of those albums I've been meaning to get since forever, but never got around to it (and the only copy on Discogs is almost $50). So I got it, even if I really couldn't afford it right now. Oh well, that's life

Oh, so this works like facebook Thanks for the tip.

And just one little thing that's been bugging me for long now (yes, this goes into the annoying nitpick category...) Your spelling of DJ is rather inconsistent in the forum descriptions

Thanks, this is much better, square avatars and all. Line breaks are a bit odd, they seem to create what looks like a new paragraph (which leads to a bit too much wasted space), like this: Line 1 Line 2 But if I copypaste something from Notepad++ for example: Line 1 Line 2 Also, the dialog box from clicking "Mark site read" has white text on white background (and the cancel button is almost impossible to see), and of course it'd be nice if clicking OK would take me back to the main page

I can't post a reply to that thread. Anyone else have this?

Firefox 52.3.0 ESR with a bunch of add-ons (Adblock Plus and NoScript perhaps most notably in this case).

And there seems to be some white text on white background in the default theme. I was kinda wondering where the "mark all forums read" option is

Same here.

I wish he'd have kept that as the only sample in the track (and perhaps used only half of the repeats) because it actually works and goes "with the beat". The rest of the samples sound like they're just randomly dumped in there with no thought. That being said, this is definitely an upgrade from Akasha Connection (which eventually wasn't particularly good if you ask me). This is the kind of drive I expected from the first album after hearing Syslit Joint (that came out before Akasha). Now that drive is here on this album, and it's fortunately taken a turn towards the darker (although with all this "dark"psy around the expression has a bit lost its edge) which is always a plus in my book of goa trance Currently I'm leaning towards Cell Connections as being the highlight of the album, but I need to take some more listens. Unfortunately this arrived too late to be properly dancefloor tested this summer since the outside party season is basically over and I'm on a well earned break from gigging for now.

What do you mean "no longer on Ektoplazm", here it is: http://www.ektoplazm.com/free-music/kadasarva-steamagination But yeah, this is for the lack of a better expression an incredible album. Nasty, relentless, full of cybernetic mayhem, and contains absolutely no sunshine or your typical cosmic goa fluff. At least one track from this album tends to find its way into every darker goa set I play these days Absolutely 250% recommended. One of the best albums of this decade. And so on.

Re-release on Ektoplazm

Nope, that's actually The Lone Deranger But yeah, I've always been wondering where the basslines are on this album. I mean, I know they're there (of course) but they're like woven into the material so well that they just disappear, but still they're there doing their job Of course this doesn't apply to all the tracks (Jiggle and Gamma Goblins mainly, and Deranger to some extent have quite distinct basslines). Edit: and Snarling too, so that's the 2nd half of the album. And also, there's something going on basically all the time, constantly shifting and slipping in and out, especially all those little background layers that you might notice only after a few dozen listens
