Goa Trance - classic or dud?

It was mentioned here on another thread but Dave Mothersole’s Roots of Goa Trance mix and accompanying words are an interesting place to start. I was familiar with him through his tech house interests, Kiss FM radio deejaying and writings for Muzik so this was pretty eye opening.

Would also love to hear your mix Allen!

Aw, thanks for the motivation to finish!

I loved both of these. Thank you! Unfortunately the referenced interview with Laurent returns a 404. I am going to dig around the Wayback Machine.

It’s really cool to revisit this stuff yeah - I have assembled a crate of about a thousand goa tracks ranging from the 1990 EBM era to the circa 1998-ish Pleiadians era, and I always have an absolute blast making mixes out of that material.

To me this era/scene is one of the highlights of electronic music history, and I never even went to Goa.

love this stuff too
