I loved the dance2goatrance mix you uploaded a lot, I'm definitely taking a look when I get home.

We need more oldschool goa djs!

Eye well I'll probably be spinning oldschool from now on (maybe with a little bit of psy).

I always see the same artist in all your sets it seems. Always MFG, Astral Projection, some Shpongle, and maybe Juno Reactor. I havent listened to your set yet, but I really think you should start exploring some other artists, there's alot of oldschool goa artist, which are really really good. Imo, Astral Projection, MFG etc are WAY overrated.

What? This is like my second oldschool set? I realise last one was similar. That was kind of deliberate. I had a new station... I had far better tools and I had much better knowledge and a big gap. I assure you though future sets are far different.

What did you mean?

Me? I just meant that there's alot more to goa/psy than what you're showcasing, imo. As usual, alot of the good stuff is the stuff that is less "famous", and yes, there's alot of artist with that old goa sound. I just think you should start thinking more about track selection, and what you're listening to, instead of spitting out mixes so often. It's good that you train your mixing, but honestly I couldn't really care about mixing, it's so much about selecting the right tracks. I have a shitload of artist you might want to check out, but that means you have to spend some time listening to it. I would like to help you, if you want.

Not quite sure how exactly your supposed to help me (other then saying artist names and albums). I usually listen to compilation albums for new stuff to put in mixes in general. I see the point your making about less known stuff but I'm (relatively) new to Goa itself so I'm only discovering the classics and stuff like that atm.

About quality over quantity. I know that most people only make one mix a month (or less) and I generally make them weekly but I do spend a lot of time listening to music. I also in general... just prefer doing it at this rate. It gives me a good fast way to learn how flow, mixing styles, etc work and what to use where and whats good (which is fun too). Eventually I'll mature as a DJ and stuff will be more refined and I'll have stuff under a hat but atm I think I'm still learning. I rarely feel rushed... but again with listening to compilation albums and about rarity of tracks... I kind of tend to sway towards the lots of quality (although in other peoples opinion this might mean lots of similar) so that meens I prefer not listening to artist albums. I like to know that if I listen to album x y z t and v I'll get 30 good tracks and I choose 10-15 that will flow well together. I can see that my sets would be a bit better if I made them less often but tbh when I weigh it out this is the way I prefer. I'll defenitly get into making the really thought out mix every now and then though (so I don't need to worry about doubling up on tracks).

Anyway I assure you I know plenty of great artists (and some I haven't listened heard yet) so I'm most defenitly not only going with the familiar. I'm trying to hear as much as possible, be creative as possibly and make as many good sets as possible.

Do you DJ Skov? If so set linkage? Allways good to hear a Goa or Psy DJ (a bit sick of Fullon Psy or Progpsy though tbh)

No, I dont DJ. That's why I dont really care much about the mixing either I guess, especially when you're new and still learning. That's why I dont expect it all to be top notch either, but every day there's more people getting into the psy/goa, when I started spying on this forum like a year ago, I didnt see close to the amount of psy/goa mixes on this forum today, I feel it's starting to spread again. But when you listen to those sets, it's always the same fullon stuff, and Astral Projection/Infected mushroom etc are always in there, I can't blame them though, I guess that's what you start listening to first when you explore the genre. But I just feel the genre has ALOT more to offer than that, there's so many good artists out there, but some people need help finding them.
