Goa Gil is the dark-psy playing "I can't try any kind of innovation in my tracklist because I'm a hairy old hippie" man.
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 full on garbage .
Yeah man, he looks smelly. |

you guys are true noobs :P
Goa Gil is a legend within the goa community. He started off as a hippie and went to Goa in India in the 60s where he settled down. He was then a pioneer within the new trance movement which took off in the early 90s.
Together with his wife Ariane they make up The Nommos.
he is famous for playing dark and savagelike psy trance. a glimpse of this can be found on some of his compilations such as this:

lol. ok, so pray tell great and mighty Cinos, tell us... what style of psy is worthy of the title 'innovative' ? ;) :nervous: |

He's the Oakenfold of psy. I.e. famous only for DJing the music early - and nothing else. That's why I don't respect him.
That and the haircut.

Bull ing .No ing chance he is the oakenfold of psy.
He can mix like a god, Keeps the crowd going grazy, isn't (apparently) an uptight .
He's a pioneer. He is the Frankie Knuckles of psy maybe- The Danny Rampling of Psy.
Not the Oakenfold of psy.
No ing chance.
I've been to an Oakie show- ing joke.
Wait til you see him. man, I bet I've been to more psy parties than you have! |

Yeah, you have. :p
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 all 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! |
