M-Run - Abduction Phenomena

An underground scene in the psycho tropics of crazy-meets-mad India—the most off-the-clock permissible place—was where Ray Castle found himself behind a palm tree with two Walkmans and a stack of cassettes mixing Special Goa Music in the jungle of Disco Valley Vagator in the late 80s.
What was this music? How did it find its way here? What was so special about it? Why did it have agency in Goa, like no where else?
For the DJ, each track was a hallucinogenic spell, an imaginal theme park ride, an aural-gasm rush—a mini drama in a nusical neural weave. Night music, first light music, morning music. This was not a night club in the wilderness. This was metaphysical, life-altering, eight-hour-dancing-non-stop, ritual experience. A unique Special Goa Music dancefloor sound that was a Gonzo blender of World Music, New Wave, Industrial, Break Beat, Neu Beat, EBM, Disco, Electro, House, Rave, Acid Tekno—all under 128 bpm. 
After ’93 the music sped up, became a genre—Trance, within which Castle produced music, inevitably to become trapped in cookie cutter fashion. Gonzo celebrates free range music on the dancefloor, which is the Goa he wants you to know about.

Israeli artist Kino Todo continues to put himself in the spotlight with an innovative new EP on DJ Tennis's Life And Death that features a track with countrymen Red Axes. 

Todo's multicultural sounds on Jenia Tarsol’s and Chaim’s Blue Shadow records, where he released his first ep with hit banger “Gidafi Na” as well as on Moscoman’s Disco Halal have made him one of the most promising new artists in the scene. He is someone with a psyched out style that fuses long, drawn out drum machine rhythms with intoxicating synths as well as influences from prog and rock. His music is colourful and charming and always refreshingly original. His last release, 'Yasmin', was his biggest yet, but this new offering shows another mature evolution for such a young artist. 

Opener 'Goa Kids' is a bristling and uplifting arrangement that is always on the move. It comes on strong with a percussive jumble of hits and tambourines that ride in loose fashion over a surging groove. Warm, rich bass pumps down low, enchanting flutes and youthful vocal chants all get you locked and take you on a charming trip. The lively 'Paradox' is a more broken beat, with twisted synths and sci-fi sound effects all underpinned by booming kicks as alien vocals are layered in with sirens and pixelated pads. It is a fantastic collision of musical worlds. 

The vital 'Vocus Pocus' is a Middle Eastern rave that overflows with musical imagery, ghoulish vocals, juddering kicks and retro-future synth lasers that prepare you for take off. Last of all, the esteemed Red Axes duo join the party for 'Boom Shaki Boom', a tripped out and freaky cut of Israeli acid techno that is riddled with edgy pads and intergalactic sounds. 

These are complex and characterful tracks that draw on a wide range of cultural references and reimagine them as dance floor dynamite.
