A bit about the inspiration for this mix - the full text and the tracklist are at https://djsolitare.com/old-dogs-new-tricks

I recall an amazing Equinox event in the Autumn of 1995 where Kuni played the whole night and the impression was that a cloud of quantum information would enter the dance floor in the middle of the forest and when it had communicated its message, another would come in and take its place as the old one left, and there was a moment to catch your breath and adjust to the new data entering the space. At times during these events, one had the impression that the music was not music, it was geometrical design and information that was communicating in sonic form. There wasn’t the sense that the DJ was a ‘DJ’ playing ‘music’: rather, the DJ booth was like a cosmic radio tower with an antenna tuned into outer space, picking up signals and transmitting them to those gathered in this tribal gathering.

Each time I play a set, the type of storyline and style of tracks are different, and my approach to transitions depends on track selection and how things line up, though there are general parameters that I always aim for. As a result of my classical training, my emphasis when mixing has been to try to connect more than just the kick but to find matching patterns between tracks and to blend those to create a thread of continuity beyond the percussive elements, at times with kick-matching and at other times not. Usually, it’s a combination of the two, but keeping the rhythm consistent and aiming to have one track ‘hand over’ the space to the next one in a less conventional sense, like multiple speakers reading different chapters from a book that one absorbs through the set.

As I tuned into the more hypnotic and nighttime storyline that emerged as this set evolved, I was drawn to more of that atmospheric cloud-like mixing style, where one track dances with the next along harmonic, rhythmic, and upper-register elements as opposed to the bass-level kick. As I listened with headphones, I was able to let go of the technical focus of the ‘mixing' of two ‘tracks’ and rekindle some of those early impressions of this music being more than just music but combinations of patterns gathered together and presented through sound waves, hearing things not in left-right, high-low mode but all-at-once, like voices coming both from the speakers and the centre of one’s head.

I believe that as we have gotten used to listening to this music at clubs and events over the years, many of us have adapted to a sense-based linear perception of what we’re hearing as opposed to a more embodied dimensional experience, and we can easily listen with a set of standards that can be mechanical rather than holistically musical. I know this has been the case for me, and listening at home can have its pitfalls, as you get used to hearing the music outside of the contextual space for which it was created, and on speakers whose size are inverse proportion to your body than what they would be at an event. But in the right outer and inner space, we can hear these sounds beyond the framework of the familiar and as an expression of something quite outside the ordinary.

All of us experienced some magic in our early years of attending these events - and sometimes since, too! - and it is my hope that these classic tracks in this storyline will enable some of those to be rekindled as they have for me.

15 years Of Goa Trance mixed by E-Mantra - PLUR GOA MIX

Here's a Forest Trance set complementary to the style of the Yggdra guys. Groovy basslines, swinging percussion and stories from other worlds. ^.^ As played on the Yggdrasil Records label night by Space Camp / Space Safari, Belgium, from 23:00 - 01:00. :)

It was an honor. So I spent a lot of evenings puzzling this together. Hoping this will be a nice trance experience for you too. <3

Psytek @ Yggdra Night (Space Camp) (Forest)

A reworking of the set that I played at the VER: Exploring the Roots event in Goa, India on February 3, 2024.

I was given a sunset time slot on the Saturday of the 3-day event and my initial time of 90 minutes expanded to two hours, so I had an opportunity to go in a few different directions. I opted for a few longer, more lyrical mixes in the latter half to provide some breathing room and connect some melodic riffs from one track to the next.

It was a magical event, my first time in Goa and an amazing way to start the 30th anniversary year of my introduction to this global dance movement. I am so grateful and honoured to have had the opportunity to be there, and I am happy to share the story that was shared at the time.

The track list:

Juno Reactor: Guardian Angel
Space Tribe: Machine Elf
The Overlords: All The Naked People (Man with No Name rmx)
Slinky Nuns: Shitty Stick (Better Than A Poke In The Eye With A)
The Infinity Project: Alien Airport
Green Nuns of the Revolution: Ring of Fire (extended mix)
Semsis: Planet (alternate mix)
Arcturus: Compound
The Delta: Traveling at the Speed of Thought
Infernal Machine: The Loin King
Earglobe: Spherelobe
Doof: Destination Bom (alternate mix)
Ayahuasca: Propella
Pleiadians: Maia
Rhythmystec: Stellium
The Visitors: Tiny Little Engines of Creation
Mandala: Utopia

Olho de Shiva – Goa Trance (Transient Records)

Some collaborations don’t just create music — they open gateways. Into the Void is a collision of raw power and higher design, forged by Transient Disorder and Spirit Architect with the intention of pulling listeners beyond the edges of the known.
This track doesn’t ask for permission. It drags you into a spiraling surge of high-voltage momentum, fractal precision, and mind-expanding psychedelia. Every drop feels like a gravitational collapse, every lead line like a signal beamed from the other side of existence.
It’s not a journey for the faint-hearted — it’s an invitation to dive headfirst into the vast unknown and come back transformed.

Step forward. Stare into the void. And let it stare back.

Postrauma - 2020 set

Hello, welcome to my Soundcloud!

I'm a Belgian DJ active in our Goa scene.  You can pick any set here as a template for what you want at your party. And I will adjust to the lineup. I'm a label DJ at Cronomi and Schlabbaduerst and can play older tracks by these artists and tracks that are in the pipeline for future releases.

I usually play:
- Darkish Goa mixed with Schlab-style Forest and early '00s Psytrance at night
- Trippy melodic Goa during the daytime
- Modern Forest (Sanaton/Ygdrassil style) 

And going from one style to the other is what I like to do the most. :)

For bookings you can send me a pm here.
