Negans’ sobriquet is Latin for “denying”. His music is a blend of protogoa trance sonic blasts, saturated with eclectic psychedelic grooves inspired by early ’90s Goa sound, with slices of industrial and horror-happy vibes and original storytelling. With Neogoa Records, the torrents of insanity can now be unleashed through his debut EP release ‘Danse Macabre’ a 4-track journey into classic Goa soundscapes.

 

I hate and I love. Why I do this, perhaps you ask? I do not know, but I feel it happening and I am being torn apart.

 

I shall state in a few lines how Negans was good during childhood, as he led a happy life. Done. He then realized he was born evil! Spawned in the depths of Winter and growing up in the air-conditioned hell of modern civilization, Negans nevertheless resolved the whole of his spirit to celebrate Life in its manifold, delightful, twisted, tormented, ironic, gloomy and bright forms. Drawing inspiration from all colours and all darkness, chanting the trippy-toxic-sci-fi screams of modern synthesizing machinery over the ever-pulsating thump of 4-to-the-floor kicks, travelling from one dancing mania to the next; thus was the way.

Solid release. Quite refreshing. Indeed, there is a quite good 'proto-goa' inspiration.

No one is born evil.

The description of Negans' character is quite funny though.

 

I hope he'll produce some more.

Yeah, I liked it too, not because I dislike when I was young I started to listen.. kind of biographies, but because it actually resonates with music very well.

 

Speaking about the music, I can confirm that he will appear on Dimensional Gateway release in February with really interesting track :)

This weekend I'm getting this one ready for Bandcamp and for Ektoplazm release. I'm sure it will come out on Bandcamp first since we have to release Ultimate Xperience's 'Lazarus' on Ektoplazm first, but no big difference, high-quality download will be available with full artwork on Bandcamp.

Based on the artist description (I didn't listen to the previews) I expected something Xenomorph-like.

Well, it's not, but I still like it :lol: Not by any means mindblowing, but nice in any case :)

Funny thing, when I discussed with Elie his music, he told me that he has been very much influenced by the early works of Xenomorph. You're right, it doesn't sound like it, but still it brings much needed darker and experimental vibe into nowdays Goa music without trying to sound agressive or too fast.

 

@Void Mantra - Thanks, glad you're enjoying this release!

This has a very 'old school night goa' sound, like something that could have been released on Phantasm or Psychic Deli. As such, it's more groovy than dark. :) Life On Earth is the most obviously Xenomorph influenced; other tracks remind me of early Nervasystem, Process, Lunar Asylum. The only track I didn't like as much was Midori, only because I found the kick a little obnoxious.

 

There are lots of good melodic ideas and interesting samples, and no two tracks here are quite the same. I bought this and hope to hear a lot more from Negans in the future.

Indeed, a very nice debut EP - Midori is superb (Where's that voice sample from? - Sounds to me like an alien version of Grace Jones :-)).

 

It's from some obscure japanese anime I think, but I forgot the exact title. I will check with Elie and let you know :)

Thanks BT! There is another track by him ready to be released on our next compilation in early 2017 :)

Okay, I got the answer:

 

Midori sample is from the anime "midori" (that's the English title) by Hiroshi Harada. Original title is: Chika Gentō Gekiga: Shōjo Tsubaki  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shōjo_Tsubaki

 

Apparently it's available on YouTube, but I guess it's not for everyone since it includes a lot of violence and rape scenes.

 

I hope it helps :)
