Entry #9: Djuna – Hunab-ku Contest Mix #9

OK, kids – this one will put hair on your chest. Yes, even you girls. Coming straight from a carnival on the funny farm, Djuna’s put together what starts out as one of the most twisted sets of old-school psytrance I think I’ve had the pleasure of being assaulted with, and somehow turns it around by the end of the mix so you’re basking in the beauteous  glow of melodic morning Goa. And it works.

Description
Here is Mathias’ description of this little bomb-dropper:

I’ve started the mix with some more break-ish ‘fun’ goa, music for the mind rather than the body. As the mix progresses, it’s becoming a little more twisted and danceable (but then again, every style of goa is danceable), then some acidic stuff and the end is the morning goa I love; not over the top but still melodic, a bit trancy and maybe even a tad melancholic.
Normally I let a mix built up more, but this one just came out fine I think. What I also ‘normally’ do when mixing, is putting some forest, suomi or old psytrance in it; I love some variation, but it has to be as mindblowing as the good ol’ goa trance. I didn’t do it with this one since it would probably end in 60% goa from before the year 2000 and 40% after the year 2000, would be a little off-topic. 🙂
Anyway, I’m not that good at PR, so I’ll just let the mix speak for itself, haha. Hope you like it!

This is one of those special mixes that fits three different sub-genres into 80 minutes and somehow pulls it off really, really well. The flow moves from put-me-in-the-long-armed-jacket wacko-trance to hard and dark stompin’ awesomeness, and finishes off with some mind-repairing melodic goo. All this, and without jarring the listener on the style changes. That’s the mark of a stellar mix, and I highly, highly recommend a download on this one.
