    You'll Never Know - You'll Never Know EP This Release is very special. It is the story of the track that was the biggest hit in Goa during the season 1991/92. How it ended up there, it's a fabulous tale. Read it here... The year is 1991 and the season in Goa is going to be a blast. All the DJs are exchanging tracks for the upcoming parties, but there is a track, THE track, that everyone wants to have and to play. A hypnotic piece that is “You Never Know”. Read the story from the Artist: “There was a time when we suddenly appeared at the Goa scene with You Never Know, which was one of the first tracks we made after forming the band. The track ended up in Goa, without any appearance from either me or my partner because at that time I knew a French guy in Denmark, Besugh, who was totally into the Goa scene at that time, constantly walking around with his DAT recorder, collecting tracks from all over as well as DJing around the Aarhus scene. Every year he went to Goa for the winter playing at venues; he had his second home down there. I played the track for him once and he asked for a copy. When I saw him the next time, after he had been in Goa for the winter, he was completely crazy, screaming that "You Never Know" that year was the biggest hit in Goa. I know that Frank from Koxbox mentioned it to me as well. Besugh was the "main man" that year at the beaches, since he was the one who had the only copy of the track. Since you have been so determined for such a long time, to look up about who was behind it, me and my partner will allow you and DAT records to license the track. We are both happy that our track had, and obviously still has, an impact. It personally reminds me about the time when I was young and eager to contribute to the electronic music scene. This all happened a few years before we became famous musicians. Thanks again for bringing this memory up.” The track is mystical and there are people who have been looking for this tune for so many years on every techno and trance record they could find from, yet it eluded everyone because it has never been released before. We are so proud to be able to offer this fantastic track that was lost on an almost unreadable CD-r, the sole surviving copy, together with three other bombs from the same demo, bringing back that original vibe, from the sunny beaches of Goa teleported directly to modern times, to preserve this music for eternity. We are so grateful to have been given the rights to release this - it is a rare chance and we thank the producers profoundly and to help give this epic track the deserved glory and place in history that it deserves. Play it loud and enjoy it! Credits: Mastered by Jaro Valo @ Analog Dimension Executive Producer: Federico Draeke Photography by: C. Willensen Available Soon on vinyl (black/clear) and as digital download.

    release was uploaded yesterday to major digital distribution, will take some time but will arrive on all platforms happy with the feedback so far, that has been very positive, thanks for the support!

    We'll see what can be done about it, but rather than blue room, the issue is the fact Koxbox was a trio at the time, so it might get difficult when multiple artists are involved, after the split of the group.

    My collaborator Mark has an original DAT tape copied from the master, however it is not that easy to get a deal to release it. At any rates, if anything check out the announcement made on facebook about the 4LP of Pleiadians - IFO continaing both the live versions and the original album, that is something that will be available very soon !

    I am about to send the bandcamp codes to who's asked, sorry for the delay but after i came back from Belgium I had a fever and was struck in bed until today, so I worked only on the most important things I know 3 people asked for them, if others mentioned them now's the time to send me an email (not a private message here or a comment here on the thread). Thanks and Cheers

    I do respect every opinion and point of view, however I think you should see how powerful the music is on the dancefloor. For me the production is perfect, i don't hear these clashing sounds nor other artfacts described, and if anything I love the fact it was made with the machines, synths and real hardware as opposed to sounding so perfectly plastic as when the music is solely computer production, such as so many releases in the goa trance scene made now. The best part is that it actually sounds like it did back in the days but better, raw and powerful, and many people commented me they love it and that it feels more real and authentic. To each his own view of course but listen for yourself and let me know. The release can be heard on bandcamp and youtube as well now Hopefully will be a try before you buy!

    Before commenting , please give a listen and make up your mind, instead of joining the wagon @Thanos you should check your email, there is a download link

    @Paul Eye: if you check the entry of Virtuart you can see I appreciated the edits on the release, some details I did not spot. I just asked if I missed something on my entry, that's all and and for me it doesn't matter if we are on facebook, psynews, email or anywhere else, if I am speaking with you I just pick up where the conversation ended. BC codes will arrive on monday as I have already left, I am djing this weekend but I have sent a download link to all who pre ordered from the label and that should suffice. Enjoy!

    I am posting this for a friend 1 2 3 they sounds nice, but i don't know them
  10. draeke
    I do hope it gets released sometimes, I would really like to hear the music and get the t-shirt that looked very nice
  11. draeke
    Not sure what is exactly that I am trying, but in any case, I think I have answered everything.I have asked if my submission was good and precise, but got no answer about that. Have a nice day

    So the Morphic Resonance CD is out and available for pre-order. I also paid a visit to the vinyl pressing plant that has been silent since January when they had sent me a photo of a test press of the galaxy vinyl. I have been told there were some changes within the company and that they also had to press thousands of records for the Record Store Day that was in April. It has now been tagged as URGENT by the person I spoke with and hopefully we should be going to pressing fairly soon. I can safely say though that the waiting time this time has been a little too much and when this is finally out I'd see what to do for further vinyl pressings, if any at all. I however managed to get them to press 3 releases at once, so that I can have more to offer than just IFO Live on 4LP. The other 2 releases are an Extra EP for Etnica and a release on vinyl of some very rare and mythical proto goa tracks from 1991/92. I have not given up the idea of the tshirts but I need to investigate some place to save on costs, the last time I've done tshirts the production price was too high, and it is not easy to produce in Bali and then sell in Europe unless one can go there and pick them up... I am very pleased with the release of Morphic Resonance and i will soon put into productions the special Etnica reissue of Juggeling Alchemists. And see you soon at Old is Gold XX in Belgium (12th of May) or at ZNA in Portugal (22nd of August) for a DJ set!

    @Paul Eye, same thing man, you asked a question about the discogs entry, and I have answered. It seems that even if I respond to you politely, there is a barrier on your side towards me. @Manuser, the tracks sound, as Pleiadians put it, the way they should have sounded 20 years ago. Much better and they do have some new ideas but they are not completely different tracks, which for us is great, we love them and hopefully you will as well

    Pre-Orders are ON http://www.datrecords.it/dat/online-shop-2.html#!/Morphic-Resonance-Trip-To-The-Stars-EP/p/84163243/category=178775
  15. draeke
    They are a bonus for direct supporters and will be available if you buy from dat records store/bandcamp, nowhere else. @paul_eye, I asked your help to make a perfect entry the same way you have asked about the Aavepyörä special crowdfunded release, in case I missed something, nothing more and I did not see anything weird in my answers . Other users that started talking funny.
  16. draeke
    awesome samples, very thrilled to hear it live at the old is gold xx @antic, it is not really recommended for high in demand releases such as this one to put files ANY day before the release date, it would end up immediately on torrents/youtube and mp3 sharing sites. I for one think it is fair the files are given only the day of the release, which should be the norm.
  17. draeke
    yes your question was indeed correct, and i wanted to explain. i was not referring to this particular possible edit, but i was welcoming you to help me fix my entry on discogs should i have missed any details, rather than edit yourself so that i can benefit and learn from your view and make a perfect entry for the database, that's all.
  18. draeke
    We decided to keep the original title for the last track , as it was on dat tapes. It is possible the word is made up and refers to the vibes that a phaetus gives to a mother before it's born thus "phetalic" vibes. Since I have found multiple tapes with the title written like this, we left it like that. @paul_eye: would be nice if you spot anything to change that you'd comment it so that I can modify it, to have it complaint to your level of details, I'd really appreciate. Longer Samples online: http://www.datrecords.it/dat/releases/morphic-resonance-trip-to-the-stars-ep-datep-007.html Pre orders will be taken from the next days, most likely only on DAT web store and after the release day on bandcamp and discogs too. For who's in Belgium I will have copies for sale at the Old Is Gold XX party in Antwerp where i will also DJ

    The CD is already almost 80 minutes! The tracks aren't included because they cannot fit. All these remixes are very long, 5 out of 7 are over 10 minutes long https://www.discogs.com/Morphic-Resonance-Trip-To-The-Stars/release/10202834
  20. draeke
    I think you'll be surprised with the release, the remixes are really good, you'll hear! PS: if you can edit the topic it the title of the release is "Trip To The Stars" as on the cover , Arabesque are lazy and made a mistake as they used a temp title when the album was work in progress
  21. draeke
    the release date is what arabesque says as all releases distributed with arabesque only are released on friday, so it's the 12, but they put 13 for the purpose of being the "party" release date. simple as that
  22. draeke
    Amazing release, very tempted by the pack with backdrop and tshirt. Surely will get the cd and shirt but then again that backdrop... woah!

    Cheers psynews. It has finally come the time for me to gather all my music and try to promote a bit my humble adventure in the realm of DJing. I have started in 1997, and back then i really just experimented a bit but soon it was very clear for me that i really wanted to do it, for fun, as a hobby and even sometimes as a paid job. I did get some gigs around in milan, from where i am, but at the beginning it was spinning commercial music, to learn, make some money and have some fun, because with goa, there was no chance. A few years ago, due to a lame backup software, i accidentally erased the archive of all my mixes, i had around 60 recorded and ideas for another 40, but alas, after a long search i managed to recover 36 of them and some printed pages with track selections, ideas etc. Some were burned on cd, so i could rip them back but with no further delays and for a bit of self promotion i will just leave here my mixcloud link where slowly i will try to post all the best ones, from the recovered. For some i have lost tracklists so it is a mystery for me too as i don't remember all the music i have played in such a long time... https://www.mixcloud.com/draeke/ Have fun and good listening.

    No news, i am still waiting, they have shown me a few images of some test of the pleiadians and it is coming out nicely, i cannot but apologize, it is really complicate to press vinyl, too many labels want to press now and majors make orders of 50.000 records in one time, so they give priority to them, obviously. There is only one pressing plant near me that i can work with, so i can only wait.... it will be out before the summer, that's all i can say. No worries that the moment i have the copies in my hands i will spam every forum and facebook page i can find In other news, i have sent to pressing the Morphic Resonance Tribute Remix EP, it is basically like a full lenght album, 7 remixes (and 2 bonus available digital only) of etnica/pleiadians/crop circles tracks, you'll hear the blast!!!
