The Tree Tribe – A Glimpse of the Tagzig (A Night with the Tribe Mix)

Most of us can name at least one album, compilation, or mixtape that still shines brightly from the depths of memory as being something more than the sum of its tracks; for The Tree Tribe, Rabtu Gawa (Paradise Trance) shines brilliantly.

DJ Solitare – The Future Was Now: The Tracks

The long-awaited track list for DJ Solitare’s mix The Future Was Now is finally revealed! More than a mere track listing, read on for Mark’s incredibly thorough recounting of each of the 30 tracks in the mix, with trivia and personal anecdotes that really lend this mix historical value.

DJ Solitare – The Future Was Now

DJ Solitare bestows upon us a true gift of a guest mix here. In it we have nearly 3 1/2 hours of key-mixed magic from Mark Ainley, a man who’s been involved since the early days and has rubbed shoulders with many of the founding fathers of the genre. A label DJ for the fabulous DAT Records, Mark shares with us not only killer music presented in expert fashion, but a wonderful write-up as well.

“This mix is inspired by my experience at all-night events in Japan in the heyday of the psychedelic trance scene, primarily from 1994 to 1996.” Read more »

Music For Space Elevators

It’s been a few months since I’ve put together a straight-up Goa trance mix of my own and posted it here on the Goat Ranch. The fine folks over at Audioaddictz psytrance radio gave me a good excuse to lock myself in the lab for a bit, however, and featured this mix during their 4th Birthday Party celebration this past weekend. After testing its activity with the smaller control group over at Audioaddictz, it’s now available for wider consumption. Read more »

Hux Flux – Max-Capacitance

As voted “most wanted” by you Goat Ranchers out there, here’s the all-Hux Flux “artist mix” I’d promised back in July. In the three short years that this mix represents – 1998 to 2000 – Hux Flux released some of the most mental and twisted psychedelic trance that had yet to appear on the scene. Read more »
