Yes that's what I understand of your culture, you normally are very reserved and hang around with people from your country. Anyhow I think I will visit your country sometimes, there are fantastic skiing resort as I saw and I would want to go snowboard over there . Now, where are the girls for the forum? Search some!

And also:

The Batstar!

The Artwork and Mastering have been finished and approved 100%, files have been sent to the pressing plant, it's happening!!! Coming soooooonish now!

this one's insane n my opinion and has soemthing mystic about it, i couldn't believe my ears when i found a lost forgotten remix of it last year original's killer too! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_nnjjUgfabY

I have been entertained a lot by this thread, but please keep up, it is really funny . Don't forget that there is also this little insignificant tune that nobody mentioned, but probably is not really releavant and is just some farting kickdrum eh Radi? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HrMg9LhGfVE

Yes Radi I have to be Bulgarian because you know your girls cannot travel around the world since there is still the regime apparently over there, isnt't it? And obviously I need to speak your language to communicate with someone from there.... but you are right she "responded" very well to those bands, she loved Ott when I made her listen to one of his tracks. вие сте най-добрият Radi

Hello everyone, it may be that there will be a few copies of the first edition of the single of crop circles for sale, but the owner, that worked at the time for Auracle is only interested in money and the right price. There will be no exceptions and NO TRADE whatsoever. So if you are ready to spend quite some, and want to have that long lost original pressing of the single PM me, but please don't be ridiculous. I will not answer to people saying I can offer 75£. The money will go to who rightfully was into it since day 1 and that delivered us something classix , if it wasn't for Auracle, I won't be here maybe, sort of.

they are all excellent fo course but... a result would be in need at some point...

Dear Radi, your post are always entertaining and when is about girls they somehow go to another level! Anyway I think in London there are huge amounts of females loving psytrance and in Belgium as well. And finally I discovered that in Brazil, especially in the north is considered mainstream music and you can find it as background music in some big stores in commercial shopping centers with everyone dressed "normal" and no druggies. I also saw clubs where the djs were playing psytrance with people not even knowing what kind of music it was but dancing to it as if it was the latest david guetta hit, aged from 20 to 40 and all normal, so I guess it depends where you live. Finally I also met a Bulgarian girl that listens to a lot of electronics and she told me in Bulgaria there were a lot of parties in the late 90s, early 00s and if she was there maybe other girls too, so you should just go around and find some and Oh, pimp them here if you can

Regarding the subject of Beatspace: I do have a signed contract with them and I know they are selling my releases through Bandcamp, but the thing is they have somehow a name and a wider audience that I would have if I were to open a Bandcamp myself and I think that my online shop can be my bandcamp, I would feel I would simply duplicate what I offer on my online shop if I were on bandcamp isn't it? And if Beatspace is not selling a lot on Bandcamp, probably I won't as well. But maybe it is worth a shot and I should end my relationship with Beatspace and be the sole owner of my own releases over there. They obviously get a % of the sale and I haven't cashed in anything from them yet although I know I may have a small credit from their sales. I will see what to do next. @BraneFreeze: Thanks for the nice words, I'm doing my best @radi6404: I offer payments throgh paypal if you are interested in official digital from my label, cheers!

I want to continue on this subject by adding that once more I am pressing CDs, and that I am starting with singles because I know that probably there will be 500 people, all over the world, that would want to held a copy of the Crop Circles singles. At least I suspect that some 300 Goa collectors from Belgium would, and that is a reason good enough for me to continue pressing, even if probably in lower numbers from now on, as I want to have a CD for myself and for the people that still like/collect this format. Digital distribution is a marasm: there are old band selling on their own self-made bandcamp and selling old music ranging from 5 to 15 eur per album and 1 to 3 eur per track, depending on who the artist is and many other factors. This is good and bad, good cause they offer long sold out music, maybe that was also only on vinyl and remastered, but also bad as you have to know about the bands and find their online store... Then there are some aggregation sites like the one I use, called Record Union, that send the music to the typical online stores that are iTunes, Amazon, Juno and a few more but so far couldn't deliver my stuff to BeatPort. That, even if it is the most expensive shop out there, is probably the one that has the most audience and where I could hope to sell a bit more. In any case the final buyer should know that the best way to support a label is to buy directly from their online shop, if they have one, and that is why i set up one on my label website. I know that shipping costs are high for CDs but postal rates in Europe are ridiculously high everywhere and in my case I really did put the costs from the post office plus the bubble box cost of 0.5 and I even halved the paypal surcharge to make it easier for final buyers. I honestly don't know how psyshop can offer the postal rates they offer and that is a big bummer for the final sales as everyone will compare different sites before finalizing a purchase. The final buyer maybe thinks that is the same if he buys a cd from big distribution (amazon/beatspace/psyshop/etc) but the reality is that for us those shops are just a way to spread the music to a wider audience and for a CD sold on one of those big store the label ultimately sees only 3 to 4,5 eur, never anything more. That's why to survive we have to sell out the few copies we keep "at home" and sell on our online stores. If I were to sell all my CDs through big distribution only, DAT Records would have been extinct by now. Now there are some new labels in Israel that are trying the self-distribution system and that maybe could work if they have a wide audience, they may find 500 direct customers and sell all their CD x 7 to 10 eur and that would probably help them releasing more. And I wish them the best success with that! As for the digital distribution, it is the same, if a release is bought from a big distributor the label would receive a lot less and in my case, only 6 months after the actual purchase. For that reason I try to see if there are people interested in my digital releases but my online shop is probably not so appealing yet and/or consumer of old-school goa only want the CD, I don't know, fact is I sell digital downloads of my releases only on Amazon and iTunes mostly and the best seller has been Blue Planet in digital, the worst Crossing Mind and we will see how Etnica does, Crop Circles on digital was nothing special either but maybe now that the CD has been sold out it will sell a bit more in FLAC/MP3. Same thing with the Digital Distribution, we get much less when you buy it on Amazon etc and the bonus I give to my direct customer is that you will get the FLAC+MP3+Artwork in High Def. in the same purchase as a pack. That's all

http://www.eclipse2012.com/limited_edition_cd this is the only other place and as far as i know unless u want to spend a bit u can't get it since those 2 are the only distributors, it's because the money has to go directly to the funding of a good cause @psyhoe we could probably do what u said and split costs of shipping, i could do the order and then u could pay me and if u are interested in the crop circles singles i could send them alltogether

apparently in russia everybody plays GTA in real life.... what the?!

AHAHAH +1 then he'd just need to find his Ruby and he is all set to conquer the world....

thanks for the tip! nice mix

thanks for the teaser! Waiting for the CD to come around

It's very interesting to see how diverse is the crowd here! And a lot of trained people with whom i'd like to have a chat in real life sometimes.. Now about me: i had studied web design, graphics and advertising after high school for 2 years doing courses (London an Milan) and worked for 4 years in Milan in that field. Then I went back to university and studied languages and communication and when I got my degree there was crisis, so the only job I could find was in real estate, helping managing a building (tie and all of that every day). After 2 years doing that I went to London and started working in an English school first as a receptionist and then as an assistant teacher and that brought me to become a full time English-Italian teacher in Madrid since 2 years now. My next move would be to start teaching in Brazil, if I can manage to get a working visa and a job over there (that I am looking for). As a side thing I manage DAT Records which has never been my full time occupation (as many think..) and once in a while I dj somewhere

nice one!

Radi I had the rare chance of being together for a little time with a stunning perfect 10 girl from Sofia and I have to say I have never met a girl more beautiful than a Bulgarian, they are a bit crazy I guess but stunningly hot. I understand why u want to stay there but mind that saying you like to w4nk on body parts is completely out of context here and i feel like this topic will soon be deleted.... be a good guy and keep your fantasy to your mind... but south america is super enchanted and the place to be right now, work-wise speaking. Europe is dead unless u have the luck of owning a company that has been a family business for many years (an successful)

ain't going to goa said the goat ranch 7... and neither should you, unless u have a teleporting time machine and would happen to be there in the golden seasons of 91 to 95. After that i've been told it was not the same, but if i were you i would go to anjuna just to take a bath, sunbathe and buy some memorabilia, but i wouldn't go to ANY party at all.... cheeeeeers!

Aren't they coming back at all? What happened with the unsold stocks? It is so sad really.

This is an impossible task.. I guess there will be so many that cannot simply select one. I think the essence of the band is in the track : Trip Tonite . It's their ultimate hit, the original mix is a part of the goa history. A few years ago, Andrea (Rizzo, one of the original creators of the track) was in at a Full Moon party in Asia (not sure if in Thailand or India) and suddenly they play the track, and he sees people, after so many years from the release, starting to dance and trance in a different way and everyone smiling. So he goes up to the dj booth and says that he made that track: the dj hugs him and said that this track still makes people dream and fly. And I agree. PS: Wanna see how overpriced The Independence Trance Revival can be? : http://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/B0007XK2DA/ref=dp_olp_new?ie=UTF8&condition=new or http://www.amazon.co.uk/The-Independence-Trance-Revival-Import/dp/B0007XK2DA <- I was wondering, should i get this copy? maybe instead of buying groceries for 6 months I could go for that extra copy I always wanted.. ahahaha

isn't it Wizzy Noise - Dark City starting after deedrah the wizard? it seems so to me...
