[Selling my entire CD collection soon! (~1100 CDs)]

They will find good homes

[An analysis of why Hallucinogen - "Twisted" is so great]

Its great because its the essence of Goa trance in one album. To me it goes beyond the bounds of nature and grabs your head and dissolves it into liquid energy. Each powerful synth session morphs from the previous, and there is a fractal nature to everything that you hear.

[Do you do drugs while listening to psytrance?]

I love good beer and weed, drink and smoke both daily. I also listen to goa, psytrance, or psychill every day (pretty much music is always on when I am home), so to answer your question: yes.

 

I don't use psychedelics as much as I did in college, now only mushrooms once or twice a year if that. Usually, I listen to Shpongle, Mysteries of the Yeti, The Infinity Project chill albums when we eat mushrooms. Only goa I will listen to is Hallucinogen.

[Most "Spacey" or "Cosmic" Goa Albums?]

Tandu - Multimoods

Cydonia - In Fear of a Red Planet

 

Those are spacey for me, though more of the "being chased by evil aliens and crash landed on a hostile planet" kind of space

 

Also, anything by Total Eclipse makes me think of space and aliens.

[Trinodia: Astral Clouds (Ovnimoon Records)]

This came out literally a day after my last psyshop order...gotta make another one it seems.

[Cosmosis - Moonshine (Imba remix)]

great mix!!

[Shpongle - Museum of Consciousness [Twisted, 2013]]

10/10 !

 

The Aquatic Garden Of Extra-Celestial Delights is in my Shpongle Top 5, and the best use of vocals in Shpongle to date. Absolutely love this one.

And in case any one was wondering...the vinyl sounds fantastic and the cover is freaking amazing. Literally looks like its 4 inches deep...trippy stuff. I agree the 3d cover on the cd is a little more congested and not as good looking.

Here is how I stack it up with the other albums.
1st: Are You Shpongled
Tied for 2nd: Museuem of Consciousness, Ineffable Mysteries, Tales, Nothing Lasts
3rd: Big Bang / God Particle
4th: Remix album

[Sunday Afternoon Mix]

[Dugah-Dza - Kindzadza in the Midwest]

great lineup!!!!!!! gotta love psyowa!!!

[Why does no one in the US appreciate GOOD electronic music?]

Well, theres good psytrance here, just in small collectives you gotta find. Sounds like you are from California? I would definitely check out the shows put on by Dr. Spook, Wichdoka, and Kahn. Not trying to spam any events, but just for information purpose and assuming you are on facebook:

Nebula: The Second Voyage

March to Nature

Both of those are 3 day festies in Cali, put on by Pulsar and Psytribe. This scene is usually full on oriented.

Theres some events in the Midwest, although they are very darkpsy oriented. I would check out the Spacecamp Psyfari party thats late august/labor day weekend. I'll be spinning goa trance at that one: https://www.facebook.com/events/509790712368002/

Colorado also has a scene, they love the neo-goa stuff like Via Axis and Trinodia, and good 147 layered full on like Peak and Blue Hour Sounds kinda stuff. You'll want to check out http://nativecircuit.com/ Great DJs there include Kalisama, Avery Runner, and Solomoon

 

In my neck of the woods, North Carolina we have one of the best festivals in the US, Equinox. Its put on by veteran psycrew T.O.U.C.H. Samadhi. Their festivals are hidden away deep in the appalachian mountains of western north carolina outside of Asheville. Names you'll want to remember from them are Kri, Annunaki, and Goadream. The style here is definitely neo-goa and full on, and if im playing goa Also, I maintain the Goa-Psy, Progressive Psy, and PsyChill studio of Digitally Imported Radio out of Raleigh, NC. A little to our south is the Pangea Productions / Pure Perception Records which hold the Welcome to Pangea festival. That is also in the mountains of NC, they also do other events in SC and sometimes FL if im not mistaken.

To the Northeast there is SYNC who did Noctilucent last year with Grouch and Bombox. Another group in NYC is Sybotik with Electrik. I'm not too familiar with the other groups up there, I know of a few of the bigger djs/promoters including Kabayun, Lunecell, Fractal Phono.

I hope this helps as a starting point in finding psytrance in america!

[Dimension 5 - Trans-Addendum (Suntrip Rec.)]

[DJ Shoom - Equinox 2012 Goa]

This set was played out in the mountains of western North Carolina during the three day psytrance ritual known as Equinox, September 2012. This set more new school than I normally play, but I was playing after two oldschool goa sets (the first which was all vinyl) and before a neo-goa full onish set, so I thought new school would fit perfectly.

01. Benza - Isis and Osiris
02. Crossing Mind - Hydrophonic Visions
03. RA - Other Self
04. Hypnagogia - Secrets of the Mind
05. Sneila - The Dreamers Guide
06. Jikooha - Pure Deliverance
07. Antares - Aurora
08. Aerosis - Contorsion
09. Ethereal - Fireflies
10. Innerspace - Innerspace
11. E-Mantra - Distant Signals
12. Artifact303 - For A Better World
13. Radical Distortion - The Dreamer (Orient Mix)

Length: 86:33
