    Goa 10th Anniversary (goa trance)

    in DJ Promotion

    Posted

    For some reason or other, this year Finnish party organizations had surprisingly many 5th and 10th anniversaries. This party was the last one of them, and happened on 1.12.2017 in Espoo, Finland.
    I played the finishing set of the party, and had loads of fun on stage (a comment from a friend of mine was "dude, you were absolutely on fire!") :)

    Tracklist:
    Ephedra - Neuro Stretch
    Celestial Intelligence - Distorted Visions
    Proxeeus - Nyarlathotep (Short Mix)
    Eat Static - Bony Incus (Man With No Name Remix)
    Hypnoxock - You Have To Find A Brain
    Morphic Resonance - Varese Dream
    X-Dream - Panic In Paradise
    Infernal Machine - The Loin Sleeps Tonight

    not online anymore, keeping the post here in any case

    What new music did you get today?

    That's the first Backroom Beats compilation, TWSCD12.

    I didn't know there's a jewel case version too, I have the Digipak.
    Well oops :DD it really looks like a jewel case in that picture.
    But yeah, figures why I got confused since I have all Backroom Beats releases (including the 1st comp) separate from my Twisted releases.

    Personalized recommendations: What's missing in my collection?

    What's definitely missing from your list is Algae Bloom - The Blossom, unless ~130BPM melodic prog (or "daypsy" as the artist himself likes to call it) is too slow for your tastes :)

    All the Goa trance that has all the same key lowly growly almost atonal pseudo-melody.

    Just out of pure interest, mind giving one or a few examples of this? Just to see if your definition differs from mine (and thus, if there's something I should not recommend).

    after his superb album, and crazy compilation tracks (Moonwalker and Altered Perception)

    Nothing he released gave me that stormlike energies.

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

    The only WTF -moment for me was when I read through the liner notes (of the CD version), after having dug out the original production masters, and noticed what clumsy English I had written, but then I thought that I won't rewrite anything just to keep the original feeling intact and keep the "punk rock" attitude. So atleast it's authentic and pure now :-D

    That's OK, I think modern goa trance is in a need of a punk rock attitude anyway :D

    DJ IronSun - Cybernetic Core (Cyber Goa Trance)

    Actually it's part thanks to you this mix came together! A couple of months ago you praised the Kadasarva album again on this forum and as I happened to read it, I decided to revisit it and really got into it myself! Thanks for that ;)

    Don't know if you know it, but may I recommend Amygdala's 'Modus Operandi'?

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

    The new Shpongle album, Codex 6 is available for pre-order

    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.

    Morphic Resonance - Trip To The Stars

    in 2017

    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 :)

    Blue Pilots Project - Gadfly
    Shulman - One Step Closer

    Symbioosi - Subterranea
    Carbon Based Lifeforms - Nattväsen
    Xerxes - Longyaard
    Krusseldorf - Higher Culture

    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 :)

    Aikahattu 5th Anniversary / Night Side (dark goa / psytrance)

    in DJ Promotion

    Posted

    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)

     

    How difficult are reissues?

    ripping the original CD with 100% accuracy -which is hard to find will you repeat- (and no remastering is possible)

    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 :)

    Last copies available directly from the cool people at Boshke's bandcamp, a chance to grab

    this classic album for the coming winter !

    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 :D

    The new board - issues and stuff...

    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 :)
