This is a rare and insightful glimpse into the roots of the modern psychedelic trance sound—a genre born from the convergence of global influences and personal awakenings. From the serene shores of Goa emerged a new musical wave, one that transformed not only the sonic landscape but also gave rise to an entire culture. Through the nomadic lifestyle of those early freaks, this culture carried its influence far beyond the beaches of India, leaving sonic fingerprints on the electronic scenes of Ibiza, England, and beyond. The global movement we now associate with electronic music owes much to these barefoot innovators and their magnetic gatherings under open skies.

Like a phoenix rising from the ashes, beauty and innovation emerged from the disillusionment of European producers, who traded their darker, heavier tones for something more vibrant, hypnotic, and alive.

Driven by deep, repetitive rhythms and hypnotic bass lines, this soundscape turned Goa’s beaches and jungles into playgrounds of fluorescence and ecstatic dance. Of course, the journey wasn’t without its challenges—not every traveler on these shores welcomed the music with open arms. In fact, some early DJs even had to hire bodyguards to protect themselves from occasional hostility.

Yet, the music endured. It evolved. And it continues to do so—ever-shifting, expanding, spiraling outward like the great cosmic dance of creation and dissolution.

Enjoy the journey—and remember: it’s all just a ride. <3

And thanks to Brendan Lidell for sharing all the tracks and music, after I lost most of my old school collection due to a hard drive failure and house fire so many years ago, really appreciate it buddy!...

Fluorostani Express - Or the beginning of something wonderful - Dj Mix 2016

For over two decades, the artist embodied "Olowanpi" as the main extension of his creative spirit. Yet, he recognized that this chapter had reached its natural conclusion – the energetic resonance of this persona having completed its symphony.
He courageously embraces the call for renewal in the grand theater of artistic expression, where personas serve as the masks through which we channel our creativity. 
Like a phoenix ascending from the transformative flames, he resiliently steps forward into uncharted territories, driven by an unwavering desire to explore new dimensions of artistic expression.

For now, he is using his nickname as his moniker, eagerly awaiting the inspiration for a new persona, or he may keep this one for some time. Who knows? Everything is possible. <3

A trailblazer going back to the early days, his journey began as a DJ in local discos at the end of the '80s, where he immersed himself in the burgeoning sounds of Acid House and Techno Music. Those formative years, steeped in the raw energy of electronic music's revolution laid the foundation for a career spanning decades and continents.
