DJ Stevo isn't organizator, Balkan Goa Fanatics is. The other thing is how much work certain member of that organization is doing and who have the biggest responisbility. Yes, he is part of Neogoa DJ-team just like he is part of Suntrip, Timewarp and BGF DJ-team. Your point is...? You did, while replying to Antic's spot-on question: I don't spank anyone and it's not my job to do. Certain criteria in every serious label has to exist and the only thing when I react is when someone who has been promoted by our label forgets to give proper credit to the label when playing the material we released. That's the basics of the licence we release under. The other situation is when our artists leak music prior to the release on SoundCloud. We don't like that and we prefer to release the material via official channels under the conditions we consider to be a part of finished release. Stevo plays Neogoa music on parties and he never played anywhere without giving a proper credit to the label(s) he represents. That is a fact. It was great festival from my personal perspective as a visitor. I came there as a Goa trance fan, not as an artist (I don't play DJ sets, I don't do live-acts). When did you see us (Neogoa Records) reviewing festivals from our official channels or any parties where our artists or DJs played? Have you seen any Neogoa Records Facebook, Twitter, Google+ post about our perspective on certain party, festival, whatever? You haven't because we don't do that. I posted on event page my (from my personal private Facebook account) view of the festival and what I liked it because of my own personal reasons, just like dozens of other people posted their experiences. You think I don't have a right to give opinion as a fan or visitor, huh? Why should I spank Stevo? Was that a Neogoa Records festival? Explain it please.... They run their own gigs and bookings and they have absolute freedom. How on the hell you connected Neogoa and Suntrip by single post of Joske (reffering to the visitors as DJ Anoebis) on event page and the reasons he gave he couldn't come? Seriously? Dude posted why he couldn't be there and told others who were there to have fun...Do you believe that was the official 'Suntrip Records statement' or that my personal experience of festival was 'official Neogoa Records statement'? Guy posted info to people as the artist/DJ. He informed them, just like I posted my status about festival experience as a visitor... Reading between the lines is a tricky thing to do. I'm sure they won't mix their own personal view/feelings about the organization with the work of Suntrip Records. Maybe I'm wrong, but I haven't seen any label posting anything via official channels about this festival. People who were there posted what they think about it and people who couldn't be there (from any reason) also posted their own personal view.

I will tell you from the first hand that we're not involved in any booking of any artist on this or any other festival. As I told in previous post (I will post this one from the personal account, it will make more sense), we don't run booking agency, we don't make deals for our artists, we don't organize parties or festivals, and that is a FACT. If you don't believe me, here are Imba and Proxeeus commenting this topic, they both know very well how we work and they can tell you did I or any core-member of Neogoa label-team dealt with their bookings, or they were in direct contact with Stevo about their respective gigs on the festival. Also, if releasing compilation (that has been arranged and confirmed weeks before even festival started) is considered as part of festival organisation than probably we don't have the same definition of festival organisation. As I told to Stevo (prior to the confirmation of BGF Chronicles compilation on Neogoa), we are ready to release it, but under our terms - and that means to be available for free download and properly promoted through official Neogoa channels, and I believe we did that on highly-professional level (just like we are doing with every previous release we had a chance to release). Neogoa's only fault was not to release it on festival (as we promised earlier), because we didn't have good internet connection over there and we had to delay it for a week until I get back home. We posted the annoucement and appologized to the fans and artists for waiting additional week. Regarding the Neogoa artists playing on festival, please, have a look on how many of them didn't come. So, all that non-sense about us being organizers or something in that vein is false statement without any hard evidence. Also, if we were part of the festival organisation (as Anu claims here publicly), wouldn't we have the similar thing like Suntrip had on first edition of the festival? To be some sort of label-tribute festival? I believe that would be a logical and natural thing to do. We didn't, because it's not our festival. Website? It was made by us as under Neogoa Design visual department, same as festival flyer and visuals. It's same process like we are creating artworks, websites, flyers for other labels and organisations, that doesn't mean that (giving you the simple example here: flyer made by Neogoa Design for party in Belgium means that we are suddenly part of the core-organisation). See the logic behind this statements? Important thing also: Did we have any influence on line-up selection? Nope. How could I or any core-member of Neogoa ask or request something that we don't pay, organize, run? What is the logic behind that? If you take a closer look at the artists who came to festival, there was artists from diferent labels/organisations, just like artists from diferent labels/organisations canceled their appereance there (or they couldn't come). FYI, unlike some people who are comenting about the festival, I was there for 4-5 days and I had a good time. Was it great organisation? It wasn't (and some people here already gave their view/perspective about it) I'm not one to say how to make good festival or how to organize things, it's not my job and I prefer to stick with music releasing and graphic design, but in the end I enjoyed this festival and I didn't have high-expectations. We met some lovely people from different corners of the globe and enjoyed my time in great nature. For sure I was sad that many artists, my friends and fans couldn't come there, but thats not my or Neogoa problem. And to be fair, I don't prefer to spend my energy on this kind of discussions, you have official BGF event on Facebook, go there and see what people say, what they liked, what they disliked, people who came and people who couldn't come. That will give you the best perspective about whole thing. @Anu: For the sake of fair and honest discussion please, provide us a hard evidences that we were involved into organization of this festival! If you don't have any, than stop putting our name into your own disagreement/frustration with BGF organization workflow. Probably you're not the only one and posting online accusations of Neogoa as label and as a team of people is highly unfair and not a nice way to say goodbye. Thank you!

Your input is highly appreciated!

No need to judge whole nation based on one example.

Great release, full support

Available now on Ektoplazm for free download. Enjoy http://www.ektoplazm.com/free-music/saluberrimae-time-is-a-flat-circle

This sounds and looks very nice and I look very forward to this release! Klecks

Thanks Adept! Yeah Anu, the early days was such fun, and I guess Neogoa is probably one of the few (or perhaps the only) label(s) which are founded thanks to Psynews. Many members here put a lot of their knowledge, feedback, suggestions, ideas, positive attitude towards what will later on become a Neogoa as we all know. On July 14th this year it will be a seven years since Mirza, I and few other people started this so I hope we will have something nice for this year too, to offer and give to all people who are following the work of the label.

New Meteor: Bandcamp - https://meteormusic.bandcamp.com/album/inner-demon

Old topic with news and upates can be found here. As we're getting slowly in seventh year of our existence in Goa trance realms, thanks to you dear people, we achieved another milestone with 750k downloads at Ektoplazm and Bandcamp. That means a lot to all of us and to all artists who released their music with us. In the behalf of our whole team and artists, THANK YOU so much for staying with us that long! <3 Ektoplazm - http://www.ektoplazm.com/profiles/neogoa Bandcamp - http://neogoarecords.bandcamp.com/

Hexenkraft drops some nasty beats! Full release available on Bandcamp: https://hexenkraft.bandcamp.com/album/the-infernal-schism

Fans of pixelart games might dig this one, gameplay trailer looks really nice (and soundtrack too):

https://bandcamp.com/help/codes_how_to#downloadcodes https://bandcamp.com/help/codes_mailchimp

Good question. Actually, it doesn't reflect anyone. Many people who are not members (as fans or collectors) on Bandcamp still can download files without registering on that platform in same quality (WAV, FLAC, MP3, etc.) as members. They will be offered to register or to subscribe to new releases (in this case from Global Sect on Bandcamp), but it's optional. The private codes are ment to serve as something that artists or labels offer to the supporters before release is officially out. It's very good option if you ask me and everyone got some benefit from it (after all, you don't need to bother with hosting the files, getting in troubles if download link is leaked), this way you secure your music and only one person with single download code can get the files . Another thing is that each download (and purchase) ranks release higher on spotlight of certain tag or genre on Bandcamp (electronic by default, trance or goa if you're using additional tags for your music).

Perhaps he forgot to put in some more relaxed sounds Truth to be told I also expected some more laid back trance

Sounds and looks really great Regarding the downloads, here is an idea (perhaps it might be helpful): You can add certain release on Bandcamp and set it up as a private so no one would be able to see it, but what you can do is to generate download codes (minimum is 100 I believe) and email them to your supporters (I suggest MailChimp) or do it manually as we did with some releases. After the release is officially released, you can set up from private to public and all your supporters who downloaded release via private download codes will have it in their respective collections. I guess it has some importance to people who are building their collection on Bandcamp. Just to make sure, check out FAQ on Bandcamp if you think this idea might be helpful

Here is one that I watched recently and I consider it to be very good.

Anu, please stop...it's too much pornography 'topics' related to Neogoa releases for one day....apparently some Japanese Adult Video (JAV) called Lunar Dawn (or something like that) was released on March 28th. According to YouTube data, many porn-lovers from SE Asia clicked our video (15 000 views in one day and many of them liked the track and played it till the end, while some others were unhappy with the results haha) xD xD Anyhow, congrats to Lunar Dawn for reaching another milestone xD Yeah, limited 30 copies Bandcamp edition of DG4 is in the making, I'll post the link when they're ready!

20 years is a lot! Congrats on the great work, persistence and passion you have towards Goa trance music! Gonna keep my eye on your mixcloud for sure!

Time Is A Flat Circle finally released today! You can download this album on Bandcamp (in WAV/FLAC/MP3): http://bit.ly/Sal-Bandcamp - Stream full album on YouTube: http://bit.ly/Sal-YouTube SoundCloud samples: http://bit.ly/Sal-SoundCloud

Good news for all CD collectors: We will have 30-40 copies of Dimensional Gateway 4 compilation on our Bandcamp page very soon. Tonight I'm getting the artwork done and hopefully in next couple of weeks we will have CD's ready. In case you still don't have this one, it's available for free download on Ektoplazm and Bandcamp!
