McGoa, NeoPsy?
View this Thread in Original format

Artists like Infected Mushroom and Electric Universe have now gone all fluffy cheesy, is this "mcpsy" or "mcgoa"? Know some psy artists who take it back to the oldskool, ala neotrance? Possible example: XSI.

Infected Mushroom have declared themselves to be the first "stadium psytrance" act... a veiled KLF reference I wonder? Electric Universe is merely following a course into festival-friendly full-on (not all that different from XSI in my opinion).

As for acts taking it "back to the oldskool" there's several ways of viewing this. What is it you are looking to hear?

Electric Universe was allways quite a unique artist within the Goa trance genre... his recent albums still have a little bit of that touch but I agree he's sold out to a certain extent. Certainly he's one of the best Full On psytrance producers(although personally I'm not a big fan of full on psy and he's a much better goa trance producer) out there and I don't think his stuff is cheesy. An example of a neo goa artist is lost buddha.

And yes there are a few artist that make the old goa trance sound... as well as a modified more modern goa trance sound that still maintains the basic structure (I'll make an argument that trance has not changed its basic structure since the early 90s however psy/goa are different).

Whos XSI?

I don't feel as if "neo psy" is in common use for anything other than the "neo" brand of full-on popular in 2003. Of course, it was recognized for the marketing ploy that it was, and has since fallen to the wayside.

Lost Buddha? Hah. Take a gander at the story that emerged from his label recently. Details can be found here.

New school Goa trance artists worth their salt include Filteria, Talpa, Khetzal, New Born, Vox, Afgin, Artha, and I'm inclined to think that the Turkish newcomer Mindsphere is going to have a lasting effect.

This genre classifying is getting ridiculous.



Won't be long till we get stuff labelled as McElectroTech Psy-Trance
