huge fan. Became a fan with the old pulse, goa head, order donata and destination goa comps. Nowadays it´s mostly progressive but still some full-on from time to time. Wizzy noize still cranks it

som of my favorites from the mid 90´s

Chakra & Edi Mis - X Files ( Monkey Mix )


Mystica - Ashes to Ashes (awesomeness)


Chi A.D. - Biocandy (Much better then 'astral warrior' imo)


and ofcourse the unforgettable

The Muses Rapt - Spiritual healing
