Goa

Unread post by GekkoP » Tue Feb 03, 2015 7:01 pm

Thanks to the always useful Pidsley's tinyradio, I'm checking out 'Suburbs of Goa' from SomaFM.
Honestly I only knew this music genre by name, but I'm quite liking it.

That's a great station. My favorite lately has been Groove Salad, I listen to it all day here at work, streaming via mpg123 on the OpenBSD box. I like SomaFM so much, I think I am going to actually send them money and get a t-shirt! :)

I was introduced to this genre through Hallucinogen's Twisted which I still enjoy listening to from time to time.

Another one that I have really enjoyed was Dimension 5's Transdimensional, which has a slightly different vibe. I wish I could remember some of the mixes that a Luxembourgish DJ showed me on his phone this summer while we were trying to kill time waiting for a bus, but alas I was an idiot and forgot to get his phone number.

I'm sure that our "resident tranny" has some killer links to share, though :D

i always loved 1200 Micrograms. all their tracks (on the one album i know) are named for different types of drugs :)

this and the Hallucinogen shit is much "harder" than the stuff Gekko posted before, but yeah, i think this falls under the Goa category or something. sounds more like Goa Techno than Goa Trance to me, but hey, not an expert either :)

anyway,

more trippy drug-music. they say Shpongle is the ultimate trip-music (which i disagree with, as i think different people resonate to different sounds, and fuck me if Dvorak's New World Symphony wont blow your mind on acid), and you should listen to it on vinyl because compressionist techniques remove too many frequencies, which these guys are apparently using to the fullest. so, an insane width of sounds, so to speak - or so they tell me. anyway, i love their shit, it is spacey as fuck and highly enjoyable. lots of cross-over instrumentation as well.

^ more techno than trance, and I am more for the latter. But that's some interesting input.

Suburbs of Goa was as far as i remember the first station from Soma.fm i used to listen to.
One of the songs i remembered from it was that cover of Björk, made by Omar Souleyman (I don't actually know if it is goa trance genre though, i don't know the precise definition of goa):

Björk - Crystalline (Omar Souleyman Remix)
