To celebratre the release of the 20th anniversary edition of Maya on Friday 28th February 2014, I am very happy to present this excellent remix by soundcloud.com/silinder

I came across his remix by accident, and liked it so much that we contacted him about releasing it via here. Thankfully he was more than happy to help, so please download this and share far and wide.

The anniversary  edition is a limited edition, CD only, 3 disc set featuring the original album plus a CD of alternate versions and a CD of remixes. We have only pressed 1455 copies, each one numbered, and once they are gone we will not repress any more.

BANCO DE GAIA | Disco Gecko Recordings Series EP. 31 | 18/08/2024

https://soundcloud.com/professor_chill's Brain State series focuses on the oscillating electrical voltages know as brain waves, describing what happens in terms of brain state when we are in varying states of consciousness. The Alpha State EP concerns Alpha Waves, which typify a very relaxed state of mind, associated with meditation, spirituality and a dreamy hypnogogic condition. 

As well as having produced electronic music since the 1980s, Professor Chill is a leading academic researcher focused on music technology, and he brings these two parts of his life together in his latest tracks.

Disco Gecko Recordings was set up in 1998 by Toby Marks of soundcloud.com/BancodeGaia. Originally an outlet for just his own music, it is now becoming home to a range of artists across various genres. Rather than cater to a particular style or subculture, the Disco Gecko ethos is to promote music with heart, integrity and depth. Sometimes ecstatic, sometimes contemplative, it is always music with beauty at its core.
