acid driven goa > dark psy

Goa Style stopped evolving years ago (besides production quality) as far as I can tell. Frankly with the evolution of electronic music goa no longer sounds psychedelic to me, it sounds dated in some way... The usage of melodies and builds is almost cliched. But hey this is just my opinion, plenty of people seem to disagree. I enjoy goa for early morning till noonish but all other hours i want it darker and faster. Plus if its not engaging and in some way boundary pushing or challenging it just isn't psychedelic, and goa is pretty never pushes my boundaries.

I would agree with you on that. I don't find most goa psychedelic. I don't listen to it when doing psychedelics, I would listen on mdma though.
 
^I reckon goa= full 909 kit used, usually higher pitched kick drum and not a rolling bassline as such....Hihats dont always follow the standard open on the off beat thing, they tend to play a more rhythmic role, 303 is the standard synth, distorted or other wise, scale used is always minor....I am so over the drum rolls etc. but it worked at the time. I'm also tired of zap and whoosh noises but thts a seperate thread...
 
i went to the ott show here a while back. it was pretty good but i spent the whole night in the smoking area talking to cool people...

^^ argh... I got all excited when I found out Ott was playing in L.A. He's playing at a 21 & older club though. :p

Someday...
 
Man, don't forget about Electric Universe especially a title called "Freakuencies" not to mention many more killer tracks....

Another great tripping dj, Astrix, album "Artcore" from 2004.....

The artists below comprise pretty much my typical tripping genre:

-Astrix
-Delerium
-Ott
-Electric Universe
-Infected Mushroom

...plus some favorite singles from various dj's/groups...the list is endless and I try new stuff from time to time....

For 38 I feel that my tastes in music are lost on some, and I doubt many non tripping almost 40 years old types listen to most music like this, eh? ;)
 
New TimeCode V/A (New Blood Part 2) is awesome...

Artifakt Vs Lost & Found = fuckmewow.

Astrix and IM are hardly psy trance at all.

i can understand somebody sdaying that about im - especially in light of more recent material, but astrix?

in what sense are astrix "hardly psy trance at all"? i think the opposite - for me, they're prototypical psytrance.

are any of you guys going to a psychedelic freak show? 60 dollars whoa....its kinda expensive but it is only 2 days. I would have checked it out if it wasn't that much.

My main reasons are that he's not psychedelic at all, and musically he's much more hard trance with obvious euphoric trance influences.

I'd be far more willing to call early IM prototypical psy.

please, please, please keep any details off the board.

i would love to go but i can't as i have friends visiting from out of town and would much rather hang with them. honestly, with that line-up, $60 is definitely worth it. you pay that much (sometimes more!) for an L.A. massive and the music at this event will be 10x better as will the crowd and venue. not to mention, it's 2 days long! that equates to $30/day for live music (for 48 hrs!) from some spectacular acts, plus being able to enjoy the beautiful outdoors. i couldn't ask for more, really.
 
cool, thanks for the info. yeah i figured it would be well worth the price. i dont doubt that the music is much better at those events. especially since its outdoors.
i have a feeling these parties are very much like the psy events in baja. except for the spanish.
 
Mmmm Electric Universe reminds me of some good times I had dancing and spinning some of that smooth psytrance. Age is all relative :)

I don't listen to this genre anymore really, although I did pop in some Cujorious One the other evening.

Hehe, the ticket for a 3 day party here would be about the same as $15.
