  • I got into it through EBM/industrial music, but Goa is the genre I’ve listened to the most throughout the years besides ambient probably. I happened upon a Dragonly Project II Trance CD at Camelot records one day and I played the hell out of that thing haha, then in a year or so I went to this three day outdoor where I picked up Dan Efex - Excursions in Trance (which btw are some of the best mixes to this day) which had a ton of Hallucinogen, Transwave, Infinity Project, X-Dream, Prana, etc. tracks and I was hooked then :)


  • Yeah they’re a class act too, very interesting history behind Goa trance, it has roots in the 60s hippies that went to India seeking enlightenment, in German Industrial music and European and American techno and house music, DJs were taking these different records and mixing them for beach parties in Goa, a lot of that music was very future forward as well, but then a lot of it was also rooted in the surroundings so you had mantras and eastern instruments brought into the mix so it’s kind of a mix of future past, it’s very cool interesting music.



  • Sure… I hope you don’t mind that I just rattle some off, you can search them out your preferred way.
