If you like dark psy I bet his show is excellent though. EDIT: And yes, sleepydragon, that is the man himself in all his probably stinky dreadlockery.

I dont know man, I dont listen to a lot of his sets, but live he was incredible. It was really dark, but really banging and not shit full on garbage shit shit shit.

Yeah man, he looks smelly.

I know right! Fucking Cinos can't even show a little respect to the fucking pioneer!

I'm still buzzing from this show and the afterparty at my place.

Bull fucking shit.No fucking chance he is the oakenfold of psy.

He can mix like a god, Keeps the crowd going grazy, isn't (apparently) an uptight asshole.

He's a pioneer. He is the Frankie Knuckles of psy maybe- The Danny Rampling of Psy.

Not the Oakenfold of psy.

No fucking chance.

I've been to an Oakie show- Fucking joke.

Wait til you see him. Fuck man, I bet I've been to more psy parties than you have!

Yeah, you have.

But I've heard his live mixes. I don't agree that they're "mixed like a god". But to each his own then.

K maybe not godlike technically.. but track selection wise he's awesome- and he does do pretty good on the more techical side... using tape decks and all.

I have seen so many fuckall psy acts, And i hadnt seen a guy play so well and to the crowd so well.



Livesets.. Pshhh.. whole different vibe in a party.

man trance critics is loosing my respect after nonsense comments like this. so pioneers aren't worthy any of your respect? in other words Oliver Lieb, Art of Trance etc are filth because they were early?
Goa Gil is not just a pioneer. He's been active producing and DJ:ing ever since he started within the trance scene.

and saying that he plays one style only is laughable. What is he supposed to play? disco house? Roger Sanchez plays house music only. Is that lame?

I LOL at your comments. LAOL!
