Thank you everyone for inspiration and support:]

Nogoa ~ Organic Harmony ~ Forest Psy DJ SET

I´ve always been interested in music and since about 10 years my fascination applies to electronic music. But especially the world of Psychedelic Trance with its powerfull Basslines and beautiful soundscapes and also colourful decorated Parties and Festivals got my fascination. 
So I got in touch with digital music programs and tried to put my own imaginations of Psy Trance music into my Tracks. 
That´s how it came to my solo project “Nioka”. 

At the moment I have two projects I am working on. 
First is “Nioka”. Here I pack all my ideas of Psychedelic Trance music into my Tracks. I try to compose a unique style in my music with sometimes even surprising moments on the dancefloor. 
Recently I founded my new sideproject “Manoj”. In that project I experiment with new styles and it goes more into the electro, experimental direction with melodic and atmospheric influences but I dont want to put it in a certain genre because I would say it has its own touch.

10 years ago we heard offshoots of music that could be described as alternative, deep and the more darker side of progressive psytrance. 
A decade later it spawned an entirely new sub genre known as dark progressive, captivating a generation of passionate, ardent listeners and bringing in new producers day by day to the scene with its infectious blend of sound design, catchy moderate tempos and deep psychedelia. 

Occulta Records today firmly stands as a pioneering label today to have promoted this entire movement with various shades of dark progressive with a synonynous sound and an arsenal of incredible producers ranging from South America to Australia spanning across all continents. 
This compilation is a culmination of the labels past, present and future that would propel the listener to new dimensions whilst keeping the classic dark prog essence!

This one's dedicated to everyone wanting some chill music in the current lockdown situation.

I felt its the need of the hour....as I personally prefer listening to a lower bpm style when I'm home.

These are some of my favorite tracks that play when I'm back home from a party.

Behind Nimba is probably one of the world's original artists, Ariane MacAvoy.
Ariane's background and musical education goes back when Ariane was growing up in Paris. She was surrounded by the creativity of her family: her grandfather was the well-known French painter MacAvoy, her mother, an actress in France, and has appeared in both films and stage. Ariane found her true passion in West African dance and drumming. She has been playing Djembe and African instruments, and studying, as well as teaching, West African Dance since the age of 15. Her journey into Psychedelic electronica began in 1985 in Goa, where she met Goa Gil. Together they started The Nommos project, and continue to work on their mutual concept of 'redefining the ancient tribal ritual for the 21st century'.

Ariane's love and interest for West African dance and drumming already had mature roots, and this is how Nimba materialized. Under her Nimba project are 2 brilliant albums, and her music appears on various releases, as well as tracks on Avatar's Riddle trilogy.
2005 saw her debut album Elements. A multidimensional masterpiece embedded with organic nature sounds, rich in percussion and 3D African ambience. It is amazing how you can hear, and almost "see" the fire on Feed The Fire - one of the climaxes of the album. 
Motherland, her 2nd album, is by all means a timeless creation, an exciting virtual journey to the heart of Africa. The album includes live authentic recordings and live tribal instruments, with electronic sounds and sonic manipulations. It is the fruitful result of her visit to West Africa and the hill tribes of Mali, where she was respectfully accepted, and had spent time close to the local people and participated in ancient tribal dance and rituals. 
These important albums are considered an asset in the genre of Afro-world beat. Both were licensed by EMI Music, and grabbed attention also in countries like India, where Ariane has spent some years. Nimba does not perform often, and when she does, it is an opportunity not to be missed!

..Imagine lost tribes in the depth of the jungle... hidden secrets of ancient civilizations... Imagine a pagan ritual in the mist of the night... Imagine natives dancing in trance with masks around holy fire... Imagine blood sacrifice... Imagine Nimba!
