I still have several copies of all the variants of the Pleiadians - IFO 4xLP for sale so if anyone is interested just PM me and we'll sort it out. 60 euros for galaxy and 50 euros for the 2 other variants + shipping. Don't pay any of the prices on discogs, way too expensive.

We want goa? :D this is psynews ya dig ;) it's just dat DAT (no pund intended) happens to be one of the best labels around for that purpose. :wub: For me any of these old dat tapes brought back to life with stellar mastering is worth a thousand times more than any new goa released. It's the closest we can get to the golden era really. So of course we make a fuzz here :D

It would be far worse if no one cared here, this just shows that this label's output is hugely appreciated. Are there any releases planned for the summer for exampe? That's the type of stuff this thread is about. Thankfully I still have some backlog to discover from DAT, so I'm not complaining. :)

i can't really say anything else at this point except patience is a virtue

What? They don't allow that even though you've purchased them?

Bandcamp does not provide streaming or storage services. It's official role is selling/offering files that you need to download and keep. Anytime they want, an artist or label can remove the files without prior notice and with no legal obligations. 

My cds are not going anywhere though :)

Draeke has failed to fulfill any of his contractual obligations to the musicians & therefore they've taken back the music from him. 
 

Have it from good word from one of the artists on the label. He is a con artist & abuser of rights. 
 

Also get a proper check done on the vinyl like I did. The quality is absolute rubbish. I get more quality out of them as frisbees than the music. 
 

 

 

you are delusional and know nothing
you need to fulfill your contractual obligation by leaving this site

The silent approach might not be very helpful I think

Indeed. While I understand the "not commenting things in progress" approach, the community tends to fill that void with speculation and rumours, and those often turn ugly. At least some of them could be easily dispelled.

But it's like 'be patient, covid'... and here we are a month later with open EU borders and no news on DAT Records, except for things going even further south than they were a month ago. So what's happening?

Hello Everyone, OK, let's all take a breath and address a few things. First of all, I can see that me just taking a pause from the goa trance scene was interpreted as basically any possible interpretation ever. But let's then answer about some of the things that were expressed on this thread:

A number of DAT releases expired past the original contracts with the artists after X number of years, and so we are renegotiating to continue to make remaining copies available as possible. Meanwhile, Covid also put a big halt to several planned releases for the year, which we are continuing to prepare for the time when we can move forward (in one case, mastering is done, artwork and booklets in preparation). And you will see that our Unreleased Goa sub label continues to release every couple of weeks.

I realize how the no-notice suspension of our bandcamp while we undergo updating logistics and preparations could lead to speculation but the rumours being spread here are simply not true.

Thank you for staying tuned while we update the website, catalogue, and new releases.

About me logging in and not commenting, well, I have been a lot of time offline and a few times I connected I have read a few things but did not feel like writing explanations on how I run this venture and the choice we made in the meantime. I was more preoccupied with the global crisis, the pandemic and also the fact a lot of people have lost their job and are in difficulties, so actually we wanted to halt all operations to see how things were looking and about to be globally.

I am sorry someone feels like our records are only good as frisbee and I'd like this person to write me privately and tell me exactly what were his concerns and what releases he has bought, if he feels like.

Oh and lastly, I had to change my password twice, and a couple of times i got banned for retrying to log some times, so i did not feel really at ease and it might be someone tried to hack my account. In the meantime I have been living in the countryside to be safe from a terrible infection that in italy was very strong, so to be safe. And with less internet we slowed down but we indeed worked a lot on the UGR sublabel to show we were still active.

I do understand the need for taking a break etc. but transparency and informing your fans goes a long way rather than being silent and having a lot of things happen. People are passionate about the music and I feel speculation over oddities is only natural as they care about the label. Great news that everything should get back in order though. :)

releases expired past the original contracts but why did the recent releases like gangguru or kuro and charm disappear? they are 1 or 2 years old max

Hello everyone, we can share some more news now, in all these months we have worked actively to the reorganisation of the label and we are almost done, we have recently received  some papers and we are getting ready. During this whole process we had to close everything down and that is exactly what we have done. When we can, we will re-open the website and bandcamp of course, but this still needs to wait a little longer.

What I can instead announce is that we have reached an agreement with Total Eclipse during the last ZNA and we have worked since then to a fantastic release that will bepublished on 3CD, we are practically ready to go to pressing now. 

We are super excited about this and very happy to be releasing  this historical release.
Happy New Year  :)!

So when your Bandcamp page comes back online, will those of us who have purchased albums in the past have access to them again? I've bought nearly all of what you had up before and I'm not happy that everything disappeared. I'm sure I'm not only the only one who feels this way.
