FREE PARTY! Bring Yourself
There is a map on the back.
Jason is the English, long-haired, tall,
skinny with a blue t-shirt guy
who put together the "Concept in Dance" CD compilation
that was a hit all over the techno world
("Concept in Dance 2" is supposed to be released soon).
He's part of "US."
He is also organising this party.
Last week Jaime played here
at the Bagus Nautic Club in Nusa Dua for Jason's party.
Hugo wanted to play at that party.
After some problems with Jaime
who didn't want to share the mixer Hugo
spinned his DATs at the end of the night.
His music was so good that Jason booked him for tonight.
Another player X arrived from Paris tonight.
He brought with him the latest SFX
and Astral Projection
which he got from last week's TBE (Yayo)/TIP (Rajah Ram)
party in Paris.
Rajah Ram is Goa's Timothy Leary.
He is also known as the "Punch Guy" there.
And Alex wonders how he got to plug his DAT
into that party's mixer.
What happened last week between Jaime and Hugo
is happening between Hugo and X tonight.
X is wearing a Century t-shirt (Miami's Ron Arad-designed hotel),
a NYC yankee cap and a strong French accent.
The compilation of all this doesn't sound good to me.
According to my insider friend here
are the DJs who influenced the scene in Goa this Spring.
GUY from Israel and his two projects:
SFX and Astral Projection.
Two young guys from Holland
with Indian sanias names (Alex cannot remember the Sanscrit words).
JOTY (Ayahuaska)
has a new project called PSYCHAOS.
This new name in English Trance
succeeds to AYAHUASKA and
MAN WITH NO NAME.
MASA from Japan
came up with X-TRON
who made "the" music of Winter 95 in Goa.
"Goa Gonzo" is a notable example.
Mike from JUNO REACTOR created
"Guardian Angel" and revolutionized the scene this Winter.
