Goa Mix...

Post Reply New Topic

Does anyone remember the Paul Oakenfold Goa Mix? One of the best mix's the world has ever seen, voted countless times one of the best. December 1994 Paul Oakenfold, here is the download http://www.freshlymixed.com/filemgmt/visit.php?lid=86

The freshmixed.com site has loads of good mixes from BBC Radio 1's essential mix from over the years, check them out.

Or what about the MayDay rave also in 1994 by Carl Cox

Anyone with me on those...or possibly the Sasha&Digweed Miami heavy Duty tour mix from about...2002 I think it was? One of the best mixes in modern times?

I definitely want to take a listen, because your talking about an era when they were probably both at their best. I'll be back later to investigate a bit for sure.

BTW, taking a listen to the Oakenfold set and about 3/4 through. Kinda interesting to see just how old some of these tracks are. The track 9:00 in, John '00' Fleming threw that in one his Live @ Coloursfest from late 2003 (they had that one on tranceaddict) - John's another dj that, if your not familiar with him, I think you'd really like his taste in records as he likes the more somber-edged progressive side of psytrance (really more like dark progressive with a twist). If you take a listen to John '00' though, I'd recommend 2000 to 2003, not so sure on the newer mixes - partly just because I haven't really stayed recent on trance the way I have jungle, so I've got no idea how his stuff now in 08' is going.

Also I never knew that Hallucinogen - LSD went back to 1994 or earlier, I figured it was a signature track of his but never knew it was one of his earlier works for sure. Also interesting to see that he threw a lick of Goldie - Inner City Life as well in there, seems like they worried a bit less about conformity of genre back then as much as just the fact that you kept the feel going in a similar direction.

Something else that I have which has really impressed a lot of people, a bit more epic-trance than what I could keep myself listening to all the time but has some definite quality to it - Mark EG's Brainstorm mix, my roommate and our other friend listen to that one everytime they work out and our other friend has been asking me to burn him a copy since his is kinda skipping out and fading.

BTW, do have any of the real deep, dirty, and hectic acid tech-trance mixes from 1997 or 1998? Stuff that practically has Russian mafia-grade stamped on it? I've really wanted to get my hands on some of that but unfortunately a lot of the guys who spun like that (at least that I'm familiar with) don't really have any mixtapes that I can find from that era.
