ziptnf Posted January 4, 2011 Share Posted January 4, 2011 First, I would like to apologize for having an enormous mix cover and raping your internet browsers. Second, I'd like to point out that I've always had a love/hate relationship with Goa. I never really found it as interesting as psytrance, maybe because at the time I was looking for stuff that was bigger and stronger than what Goa offered. Goa happens to fall into the same trap that most genres fall into (including psytrance), with a tendency to lack variety and truly interesting soundscapes. However, I found while researching the tracks for this mix that, when done properly, Goa can be the fucking business. For this mix, I decided to choose tracks primarily from the golden age of Goa, with 3 newer tracks at the end. For most goa-heads, some of these tracks should be pretty obvious, but hopefully refreshing. The first track was approved and freely released on psynews.org as a rare white label vinyl that was unreleased and untitled, tentatively titled "Glow". Magadansky once warned me that Goa can be quite challenging to mix, and he was right. Some of these tracks can be rather slippery!

Dolmot Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 What's the thing with Citrus Circus? I've seen it in three different mixes this week. (One of them mine. ) One possible explanation is that it's a tight track, but worldwide conspiracies are more exciting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ziptnf Posted January 5, 2011 Author Share Posted January 5, 2011 What's the thing with Citrus Circus? I've seen it in three different mixes this week. (One of them mine. ) One possible explanation is that it's a tight track, but worldwide conspiracies are more exciting. I'm not really sure, but when I heard it, it was totally captivating. I thought it would be a really great way to end a set on a positive note. Banging, interesting, and above all, unique. Goa needs to show more of that these days.
