    the emergence of Techno

    The unfortunate side effect of this is that what used to be "the chillout" at psytrance parties has in recent years turned into "the alternative stage" with people playing mostly techno and/or house with some chill in the beginning and/or end, at least here in Finland it has mostly gone that way. It used to be that when I was too physically and/or mentally exhausted to be on the main floor, I could go to the chill and just relax and melt into the music, and I can't really do that much anymore :/

    she put posts up on her facebook page asking people what she should charge, not sure if she took that info onboard

    Oh, I don't really hang much on social media anymore, so no surprise I missed that.

    Anyway, the only album I (unsurprisingly) don't own is Eyes Of Gaia, but £15 (the £12 price seems to be without VAT) for the WAV version is a bit steep.

    Got the CDr about 2 weeks ago, but only this weekend I got around to actually ripping it. I noticed that the audio content is not the same in the Bandcamp download and on the CDr.
    On the CDr, the first and last tracks are louder (track 1 by about +1.7 dB, track 10 about +1 dB), and the other tracks are randomly quieter by around 2-3 dB. See the image here (upper is Bandcamp, lower is CDr) https://imgur.com/dwHcBsb

    Is this intentional, or a mistake?

    Nice album, nonetheless :)

    The Greatest Goa Masterpiece

    Please explain this to me (because I've heard similar praises from other people too). Yes, I know the track. Yes, I've danced to it. Yes, it's kinda good, but still it's far from being anything resembling a "masterpiece" (which is a word people keep throwing around too easily nowadays anyway, practically it doesn't even mean anything anymore).

    Apupyörä 2020 (a peculiar downtempo set)

    in DJ Promotion

    Posted

    So...a few weeks ago I played this rather odd DJ set at a party known from its previous editions as a cross-genre melting pot of artistic freedom. I played an improvised downtempo set, finishing what could remotely be called the "chillout" stage, and I had a few people question my sanity after I played this. Maybe the setting had something to do with it, maybe not, but this certainly is one of the most psychedelic sets I've ever played.

    Tracklist:
    Prometheus - Robot-O-Chan
    Proxeeus - Zar
    Chronos & OkoloSna - Marked Back (Zozh Mix)
    Staunch - The Menace
    Gus Till - Tomorrow Delta
    Takkra - The Encounter
    Argaman - InHarmonic Symphony
    Molokow - Polustus Grytgöl
    Painted In Void - Mountain Of Silence (Edit)
    Mauxuam - Extended Body (Tabberdabber Mix)
    Scion - Now
    Shpongle Static - Persepolis (Shpongle Static Mix)
    Shogo Buzz - The Chalice Of Storms
    The Algorithm - Fragmentation

    I still deeply regret selling my Talpa CDs some years ago, this will be a good chance to get them back. I'm still oldschool in that I'd like to have the CDs, but with prices ranging from 100€ to 500€ on Discogs, that's not even an option.

    Great; but now you sound way "lower" than everybody else, and while some DJs will adjust accordingly (or, as I call it, "do their job" #madlad), the vast majority won't even bother.

    Thankfully at least some of us know how to use the trim knobs on a DJ mixer :D

    The trajectory of Goa trance

    So it's one guy's opinion on how goa "should" sound and to what rules it "needs to conform". Valid as his point of view, not as universal truth.

    I like my goa dark, aggressive, melodic, and fast, usually in that order of (un)importance, but you don't see me shouting at artists that don't fulfill those criteria to change their sound just to please me.
    Do whatever the fuck you want, there's always someone that loves or hates what you do.

    (I still secretly do wish more current artists would pick up the sadly underrepresented darker side of goa, I'd really need more material for my DJ sets :lol: and I doubt I'm the only one)

    That track is beautiful. Who does the vocals? Really nice feeling to this. Am haven't a been feeling that emotionally great this week & that track just brought out the tears. Will buy the album. Thanks for the music!!

    Thanks :)
    My friend Pete did most of the music and sang all the vocals, took care of the big picture. I did the mix, played some synths and generally developed an unhealthy obsession for the smallest details :lol:

    Glad that you like it, and that we could provoke a reaction (because that's what music is supposed to do).

    Goa trance supergroup!

    Interesting! Totally missed that one, despite having owned that compilation once upon a time. I was hooked on License to slink on it, and The Manipulators-Biological Manipulation.

    I still have the CD. A good comp with just one weirdly misplaced track (Blue Planet Corporation among all that darker goa, uh what?)

    Personally I'd pick the Darshan track as my favourite on this comp.
