Recommend me some Psytrance/Goa

[Lambox]

Over the past few days, I have been listening to the DJTECHTOOLS Mega Super Awesome Mix on repeat and I was wondering if you all could suggest some similar music that I might enjoy.

Personally, I know nothing of the genre, so all suggestions are welcome!

Wicked! Check out some of the free mixes on our soundcloud group for a start

I use a combination of Youtube, Psyshop, Ektoplazm.com, A few "Blogs", word of mouth, and fanning up some labels on facebook to keep up with the play. Listen to some dj mixes and get some ideas from those, thats why on our group i ask the contributors to include a playlist so i can blatantly rip their track selections I've been at this genre since the early 90's so have a fairly decent collection. I would say Psyshop would be your best bet for Charts etc, although Beatport does have a "reasonable" selection of psy now.

Some labels to check out:

Iboga, Iono, Blue Tunes, Spin Twist, Tribal Vision (Prog Psy/ Melodic Stuff)
HOMega, YSE, Goa, Nano, Nexus Media, Suntrip, Phototropic (Psytrance, Neo Goa, Night Fullon Etc.)

Man you guys weren't kidding, ektoplasm really is awesome! Hopefully after my final exams (if I survive them ) I'll be able to put a psytrance mix together. I'm really digging this stuff...

Grab some compilations off there and you are away

Also the Pangea crew from South Carolina put out some free mixes on their site. Kameleon & Labyrinth are fantastic. Check them out. http://www.pureperceptionrecords.org/newreleases/

Psytrance can be split into a few styles:

Progressive - This is usually a slower tempo....not so many build ups and climaxes like Fullon does.

Fullon - This is the general Psy you hear. With its winding buildups and hooks.

Nighttime Fullon - This is basically what i play. The harder edged stuff.

Twilight Fullon - Similar to what I play but more melodic.

Daytime Fluff - This is what gets played in the daytime. Bouncy fun Fullon.




Now pick one....ONLY ONE!!

KEKEKEK...jokes.
