Cory Goldsmith posits that dance music is seldom as simple as it seems. He studies the emotional gray area where melody and rhythm intersect with tempo and timbre through the analytical lens of a scientist. Far be it from him to express his findings in absolute terms.



A senior software developer for iZotope with a doctorate in chemical physics, Cory has released on techno labels like IAMT and Reload Records as well as trance imprints like Magic Island Records. His own sound signature sits in a category of its own, though. Cerebral and refined yet purpose-built for the dancefloor, it’s a body of work more than a decade in the making.

Cory Goldsmith’s tenure as a musician extends back even further. Born in Atlanta, Georgia, he once led a musical double life, playing guitar and bass in metal bands while inexorably drawn to trance classics like Ian Van Dahl’s “Castles in the Sky.” After relocating to Colorado to work towards his PhD at CU Boulder, he began to pursue electronic music more actively.

Cory cut his teeth as a DJ at venues like The Fox Theatre in Boulder and Cervantes’ Other Side in Denver while dabbling in music production. In 2016, he landed an Ableton internship that elevated his skill set in the studio. His debut release, the Streetlight EP, arrived by way of U.K. label Isolator the same year.

Cory Goldsmith once again found himself living a double life. He became a familiar face behind the decks at Denver gatherings like Global Dance Festival and Decadence while putting out music on labels like Alter Ego Records, Tangled Audio, and Blue Monkey Records. Parallel to music, he participated in academic research to defend his chemical physics thesis.

When at long last he obtained his doctorate degree in late 2018, Cory also turned a corner in his music career. It was shortly afterward that he began working at iZotope, where still he helps develop plugins for producers today. This predictably leveled up his own skills in the studio. In early 2020, he collaborated with fellow Denver artist Adam Stark on “Aurum,” the Magic Island Records debut that earned him his first play from Dutch trance stalwart Ferry Corsten.

Then came the COVID crisis, which gave Cory Goldsmith ample time to focus on recording music. In 2021 he landed on Reload Records with Slave To My Mind, a techno two-tracker defined by tough rhythms and introspective melodies. The following year, he delivered two more EPs in the same vein. Wanderrust found a home on Made In Brussels, and What Am I Scheming came out via IAMT.

In the meantime, Cory and Adam continued to work closely together. Their 2021 collaboration “Cesca” released on Magic Island Deep, garnering support from globetrotting DJs like Cosmic Gate and Aly & Fila. 

Cory’s music is instantly recognizable no matter where a given piece may sit on the electronic music spectrum. Each release explores the interplay between emotive chord progressions and visceral textures, yielding a tension and release dynamic put to the test in his high-energy DJ sets. Cory’s refusal to see music in black-and-white terms is serving him well now that he’s come into his own as an artist.



Don’t sleep on the doctor. From where Cory Goldsmith sits at the forefront of dance music, the future looks bright as ever.

Stephane Gallay aka Tajmahal started his music career in 1995 as a label DJ with the legendary TRANS'PACT label in France and as a co-writer with "ASIA 2001". This collaboration resulted in 4 albums, on each of which Tajmahal contributed 3 or 4 tracks. During this period, he was the official label DJ for Trans'Pact and the Asia 2001 band.
After leaving ASIA 2001 in 1998, he started his own career, organising trance parties in Lyon, France and also became label DJ for Chaos Unlimited (UK). At Chaos Unlimited he worked in an A&R role and also created compilations. These experiences drove him to create his own label and so "Electrik Dream" was born in 2005 with him as label manager.
These days Tajmahal divides his time between chillout psychill downtempo projects and progressive psy morning goa trance.   
He is currently working with Alba on a new project called "Medicine Men Song". They are preparing a double-sided project: one side will be for the opening stages on a main floor with a real Ethnic Tribal Goa Psy Trance live set. The second live act is dedicated to the alternative and chill out stage; look out for their music in the festival season next summer.
The last years have been productive for him: he and his friend Kurtz Mindfields released a tribute album to the Berlin School period for all analogue synth lovers called Analogic Touch - From Berlin School to Electronica Ambient.
He is also working on a Chill Out Ethnic project "UASCA" in collaboration with his friend Fluxo from Portugal...
Uasca is a tribal ambient / downtempo project featuring spiritual chants from Peruvian ayahuasca priests, which were collected on site by Tajmahal when he visited them in October 2009 and March 2012. 
Uasca is a tribute to the ancient tribal knowledge of the Amazon.
They started working on their debut album "COSMOS UMBILICAL" in early 2009 and released it in May 2018. 9 years of love in one album.
Taj is becoming well known for his long ambient uptempo psychill dj sets.
His style is fluid and deep: his music tells the story of his feelings. As a DJ, he combines impeccable technical skills with a broad, eclectic musical knowledge and immense creativity: he is famous for telling a story and taking the crowd every step of the way to enlightenment.
These days DJ Tajmahal he's happy to come and play some Retro Goa music DJ set as he has the secret. He also plays some ASIA 2001 retro set as a tribute as an ex-member of this mythical band.
