Hi! Not sure how many people check topics on this part of the forum, but it doesn't cost anything to post my music here! 😛 I just published Sunrise Dance (Nitzhogoa Version)! This is the fully-Nitzhogoa version of a Funkot + Nitzhogoa track I made for a compilation with fellow internet genre nerds! (Funkot + Nitzhogoa (Nitzhokota? :p) version: Azétris - Sunrise Dance) As you may have noticed if you clicked on that link, I based the cover art of this single on that of the compilation of the original version. I hesitated between 155 and 160 BPMs and ended up going with the former as I already made a Funkot version of this track that was 180 BPM lol. Posting once again the link to the fully-Nitzhogoa version for emphasis on this one instead of the hybrid Funkot version:https://soundcloud.com/azetris/sunrise-dance-nitzho-nitzhogoa-version Have a nice day! ^^

I actually listened to Balbalot 2 after this one and somehow, it manages to be even worse! 😭 I couldn't keep a straight face through the first 2 tracks ahah. Also, why the fuck are many / most (don't wanna check, hope you understand why) of its tracks straight up atonal?! I didn't have the strength to write a review for it. Didn't know about Palavot though! Thanks for the suggestion, though I'll need to rinse my ears before trying this sort of experience again! 😛

Can't believe the day actually arrived someone reviewed this CD in such a lenghty fashion. Bravo. Also I concur with opinion. PS try out Palavot or Balbalot 2 for some more ≤ 2.5/5 Nitzhonot.

Artist: Various Title: Balbalot Label: Michaeli Records Date: 1999 1. Lost in the Jungle 2. Shikana (Ofer Levy) 3. Hamosad 4. Devil Laugh 5. Just Goa 6. Last Mission 7. Psychodelic 8. D.J. Zoom PERSONAL NITZHONOT RATING SCALE: 5 stars: Close to perfection. Makes me automatically dance. I might almost cry of joy if I listen to it. (Though I somewhat lost the ability to cry while ago... but it the same feeling I remember) 4.5 stars: Usually good-quality Nitzhonot. Makes me automatically happy. 4 stars: Average rating for Nitzhonot (higher than average if oldschool Israeli Nitzhonot). I enjoy it. 3.5 stars: Usually lower-quality Nitzhonot, or Nitzhonot that's "slow" without compensating with psychedelic elements. A bit enjoyable, but also a bit underwhelming, especially if it's Nitzhogoa. I wouldn't chose to listen to a Nitzhonot track from that quality after the first time I did for discovery purposes (except to remind myself of what it sounds like). 3 stars: Usually very amateurish music with poor melodies. Very underwhelming. 2.5 stars: Very amateurish music with poor melodies. Kind of boring. I may actually get sad if I listen to it. Or laugh at it if it sounds so amateurish that it becomes funny. 2 stars: Boring. I never felt this bad about Nitzhonot. ≤ 1.5 stars: Let me reach 2/5 first to know what my Nitzhonot 2/5 means before I even attempt to know how I would feel about ≤ 1.5 stars Nitzhonot. REVIEW: Lost in the Jungle: Look at the title. Of course it features distorted animal samples (which is an oldschool Nitzhonot cliché, by the way). It also features nice tribal drums. I don't find the melodies anthemic enough, though. 3.26/5 Shikana (Ofer Levy): This one is weird. But I like the fact that the artist did experiments! However, (correct me if I'm mistaken as I don't speak Hebrew,) I don't understand this concept of making a Nitzhonot track out of what seems to be a pretty depressing sample, as "nitzhonot" means "victories" in Hebrew. But someone else did it for Uplifting and I love their track, so I guess that kind of stuff can work, lol. I would have enjoyed this track more if the melodies didn't drown the rest as much as they do... 3/5 Hamosad: Somehow, I find the melody, the synth sounds and the mixing boring... So, all these three things. I usually have little to no issue with any of these things in most Nitzhonot tracks, at most I may find some melodies easy to improve. But here, all these three things are off to me! In a way, that's an achievement for a Nitzhonot track. 2/5 Devil Laugh: Listening to almost any Nitzhonot after the previous track would have given me a sense of relief. However, while this one is better than the other one, I still don't really enjoy it. I find the melodies boring, some synth sounds not very enjoyable, and once again I have an issue with the mixing. Upside: I like the tambs. 2.5/5 Just Goa: For a track titled "Just Goa", it sure isn't very psychedelic! 😛 But it's not unexpected from 1999 nitzhonot. Once again, I'm not convinced with the mixing, some synth sounds (that one from 3:59 to 4:37 kinda hurts my ears...) and the melodies. However, I do feel like these are getting better. Or maybe I'm just getting used to what I used to percieve as worse than mediocrity a few minutes ago... 2.5/5 Last Mission: It begins with a nice intro that reminds me of what Nitzhogoa artists would later produce. I also like these busy kick patterns. Once again, it's something that people use in Nitzhogoa nowadays. I find the mixing and the melodies of this track more enjoyable than that of the 3 previous ones, though this one is lacking on the anthemic department. In fact, many of the melodies would not be out of place in a typical Goa Trance track, except that it's lacking psychedelic elements to make it work... 2.8/5 Psychodelic: That one is meh in my opinion. Nothing about it is anthemic. Upside: some nice tribal drums there. HOLY SHIT, WHAT IS HAPPENING AT 5:23?!! I barely have the words for it. You see the complaints I had about mixing, synth sounds and melodies? ... yeah. But this time it's very much worse. DON'T LISTEN TO THIS TRACK WITH A HIGH VOLUME!!! Upside: That terrible part only lasts 1 minute and 12 seconds. So basically until the end of the track. (Okay, not sure that's a good thing lol) Damn man, that outro sucks... 2.26/5 D.J. Zoom: Better mixing than the other tracks. Still a bit boring. And to compensate with the better mixing, a new problem has been introduced! Why are the drums weirdly panned? Between 0:52 and 2:03 it kinda works because the kicks are on the right and the snares on the left to compensate (though the kicks are way louder than the snares so it still feels umbalanced), but then 2:18 happens and it physically uncomfortable with my headphones. 2.5/5 COMPILATION RATING: 2.6/5 I think that's the lowest score I gave to any (non-single) Nitzhonot release I rated so far...

Trying to make a Goa Trance track while learning about Cockos Reaper and music production tell me your opinion, specially about the bass... Cosmic Equilibrium - Testing Reaper DAW Thanks

I did try several times to listen to this album in one go, but never managed... always ended up being bored.

Very nice I like old school art :)

I'm always impressed with Rayavana's attention to detail / skills with drum patterns! It's like Technical Death Metal drums, but in Nitzhonot! Dunno how many people will get what I just wrote, but whatever. What I mean is that if his drum style comes from somewhere else than Nitzho, then it's a showcase of how taking non-Psytrance (or even non-Electronic) influences in Psytrance can lead to great results! As for the video, it's nice! I wish people had such good musical taste in real life ahah 😭 Edit: wow, that was quite a bump! But I mean, if it can contribute to "reviving" this website...

Loving the 90s vibes! Some people say old CGI aged poorly, but I find this kind of art style very charming and a bit nostalgic! (though I was born a tiny bit later, in 2001...)

???? You replying to me? You don't think Robomate and Hippie Killer Productions is psytrance? Also, if you don't recognize the vocals... I just can't...

I just thought I'd share this with you. There's tons of tutorials, courses and other useful things out there, but rarely you come across something like this, which I percieve to have Universal Value for producers, fans and mere people who are interested alike. Have you ever come across something like it? The only thing I know that comes close is the "PLAYdifferently" by Richie Hawtin who did a performance and an explanation video for a mixer or something like that... But is there more? A masterclass by a Psytrance Producer for example? Are there any? I'd be curious to hear your feedback if you like it or not...

Thanks, we are so happy it was so well received, it has been in the works for a few years, but it's so satisfying, and the band is also super pleased!

Cocain from Bolivia, psyop psyop, set the microphone on fire 😝 My man, that is not Psytrance, it’s more like breakbeats, ok psybreaks if one wanna get charitable. Red Seal, nice reminder .. *burp* ~ plz stay on topic 🤙

Robomate has a great track called "Rough and Raw" on the Hippie Killer Collection compilation from Hippie Killer Productions.

For sure, and these tracks on the 3rd CD just wow. The amount of finesse and storytelling is just mindblowing.

Insane thinking that Ra's album is already 25 years old. Great job to do it justice with a proper re-release

It's really good!

What a love letter for the fans!

Hi there a bit of a pity that you are the only one posting in this thread ... you seem to be doing the same that I did on TranceAddict: a thread to note down good trax to "collect" (I did it not for Rap though)... I do not have psytrance for you, but I can recommend you the album Red Seal - Black Ops, it's phenomenal ... they fusioned rap/dub with psybient. Specifically this: or Oh and you might like H.GichT ... because I think you understand German ... but it doesn't matter much if not I also recommend to look there by the way - also for the H.GichT:

Terminator - Paranoid Sensation from ¥€$ or N☮️

Óperentzia - Moondealer Limited edition of 250 cooies. https://adrecords.bandcamp.com/album/moondealer

sounds like makyo on acid 😛 i prefer normal makyo ehe

Candolim or Calungute beach shack memories share. Was getting sentimental about the gentle breeze blowing through one of my favourite shacks in Goa. I am not sure if it even exists anymore, my heart hopes so for the people who worked there, I hope they are all well an thriving. I liked to hear this playing as the breeze blew away my cares eating wonderful food in Friends corner with the nicest of people working there, all very meditative.
