My first vinyl was Infected Mushroom - BP Empire/Disco Mushroom

Do I like psy?
I'm hoping to make it to Motion Notion this summer in Alberta

Originally posted by sylvainw Lately I've really gotten into the hard dance/trance stuff but I've just returned from 3 weeks in Goa and I have to say that it was unreal. I had heard the parties were legendary but I wasn't prepared for it at all. The best party we went to was on X-Mas Eve. http://www.sylvainw.com/pics/travel..._eve/index.html Here's the DJ lineup. Yes, that's right, it spans 36 HOURS (!!!) of non-stop wicked music. http://www.sylvainw.com/pics/travel...s/IMG_0728.html We got there at 22:30 on X-Mas Eve and left at 14:00 on X-Mas Day to go back to the beach and get some rest. Here are links to 2 videos that I took on X-Mas morning. Sorry for the large downloads (47 and 25 Megs) but I don't have the software to convert them. http://www.sylvainw.com/other/goa_vids/MVI_0761.AVI http://www.sylvainw.com/other/goa_vids/MVI_0760.AVI If anybody can ID the first track (MVI_0761.AVI) it would be greatly appreciated as it's one of my favorite ones at the moment and I have no idea who it's by. Hope everyone is having a good 2004 so far. Cheers, Sylvain

that song sounds a lot like a 1200 micrograms/alien project production, from the synths they used.

I think it's the first track off 1200 mics - heroes of imagination, but I'm not sure

Hey !!!

Sorry for taking so long to reply. You were indeed right. the song is "Renaissence Superman" by 1200 Mics and it's the first song on "Heroes of Imagination".

I was finally able to track it down this week and I have to say that I LOVE this song. I wish I had a picture of my face when this song came on at the party in Goa before X-Mas as I freaked and hit the dancefloor screaming

Thanks again

Originally posted by Arcticboy I'm just curious to see if many TA's are PsyTrance fans. Started off with cheesy trance myself, then moved into uplifting trance, then into prog and other house genres. I've slowly been expanding my tastes and exposure further. In particular, PsyTrance has grown on me over the last year or so to the point that I could call it possibly my favourite genre at this point. I love the complexity, much less predictable than many other genres and so much variety within it. Not to mention that PsyTrance events are by far cooler events, much less influenced by the commercialization of he scene. For instance, the BLA party (blacklightactivists.ca) I went to for NYE was the most friendly vibe I've seen at any party in a long time. So, I'm wondering if many others are into Psy out there?

I love psy :-). It's just as great as all the other genres of trance. Vancouver is really big on psy and goa trance. I'm not sure how much psy and goa there is in TO though. Very little I can imagine.

Doesn't surprise me that Psy is big in Vancouver. I wonder if it's because of the asian influence. I spent some time in thailand\japan last spring and couldn't believe how big Psy was. In fact, most of the electronica I came by was house or Psy.

Dude... try going to some events! For psytrance in this city there is a weekly night on Thursdays, a bi-weekly night on Friday, a monthly on the 2nd Saturday of every month, plus plenty to be found at the monthly Darkrave and assorted other events. And this is without mentioning the one-offs and concert-style events!

All psychedelic events in this town get listed over at ekto if you're curious.

Ah, I never knew When I return to TO, I will need to check out the psy/goa scene in TO.

psy-trance is awsome. I have been into it since my first black light party three years ago.

actually i started getting into electronia and related music...i was first into psytrance :-) i still listen to it but im much more into progressive trance/house these days...altho i do get a craving for a dark beat...:-)

Psy is pretty much the only sub genre of trance i listen to nowadays. Bloody amazing if heard live too.

ive been a goa/psy fan since 1999

funny thing how i got into it

buddy: yo LKD u Goan right?
LKD: duh asswipe...after knowing me for 10 years u ask me this now?
buddy: (hyuk hyuk)..shaddap man...i was joking...anyway..wanna hear somthing funny???
LKD:
buddy: theres this type of music thats called Goa ...funny eh?
LKD: oh yea?? name some artists...are they Indian??
buddy: this bitch told me bout some "Infected Mushroom"


so i go home and download 5 tracks of theirs (Dracul being the one i loved the most at the time) and have been an IM fan and a psy fan as well since then


PS. sylvainw...ugh!!!! last time i was in Goa was in 1996..way before I even knew we had an electronic party scene there...what u think about our lazy Goans???all they know to do is sit around and drink....damn we are alcoholics

There we go, little by little people coming out of the closet.

Now, although I've become more and more interested in Psy, I only have a very limited collection of Psy CDs. Can any of you recommend good Psy DJs so I can look for some live sets to download? If not, how about suggesting a few of the best CDs out there for me to buy? Thanks!

BTW, any of you going to the BLA party this Saturday? I posted some info in a separate thread FYI. If you're going let me know and we could hook up, I'm going with a bunch of friends.

get converting vegetarians if u havent gotten it already (duh)....however ughh..its so expensive....cant buy it to add to my collection yet

oh and anyone wanna buy my infected mushroom @ aria poster autographed?

or maybe my IM autographed LoL2002 flyer???(oh and that armin fellow signed it too)

Lazy Goans, ha ha !!! To be honest, we spent our days smoking on the beach and then our nights dancing our asses off so I didn't see very many Goans as they don't go to the beach much.

I still can't believe how unreal the parties are. Got email just yesterday from some of the people that I was with before X-Mas and there are about 10 of them still partying together. And that's 6 weeks later !!!

So want to get back there for X-Mas/New Years this year...
