B.C.P.A. = BIG Crimbo Pressie Alert: 

Ok, this is a special one we have been holding on to for over 10 years. Yes that's right this mix was recorded over ten years ago but only came out on Good Morning Tapes last year... Only a few people heard it before, can you believe it? 
Now things are coming even more Full Circle as it was aired live for the first time last week on Crimson's "Pink Eyed Blue" show on https://radiozora.fm/ I thought this was fitting as I will also be playing with him this summer at THE Ozora Festival! Those who know, know ;-) 
Anyways hope you will enjoy and have a great Christmas and New Year Celebration.

Some lovely words below from my great friend TC aka The Ch... for those that wish to read further! Enjoy...



The empty longings of nostalgia exist as a far cry behind taking from the past with a view to understanding a new place it might hold in the future. Now - with the 90’s revival in something of a full swing - Good Morning Tapes finally gets the chance to release a pivotal 10 year old mix that didn’t just ignite a curious wave of reflection and appropriation, it marked a culmination in the shifting sonic sands for its creator Mr. Alexis Le-Tan. His name needs little light trust upon it in these hallowed cosmic halls, with his enduring and ever present mixes being a staple for those that know. Back to Disco Valley is arguably his most important mix - it both recontextualised a dirty and forgotten sound of the past, and facilitated a wave of new freedoms for those wishing to look backwards in order to move forwards. Most importantly it planted the seed for everything Full Circle to come.

Back to Disco Valley is above all else a personal reckoning for Alexis and Joakim, it marked a moment when many problems inherent in a trapped older sound - with a sublime yet dated history of its own - could breath fresh life in the present day; a new slower realm was born. The slowing down of dance music is nothing new, and certainly where peak time beats have existed a spiritual shadow that revels in a slower ethereal space to dance has never been far away. Stylistically on one level, Back to Disco Valley might seem to build on what Baldelli or Loda were doing many years ago, and it certainly has that effortless charm, but it goes much further, not just in its re-appraisal of the frenetic fast paced sounds of Goa, but as a signifier of where many wanted to head on the dancefloor - towards a slower oasis - incorporating new releases and modern sounding rarities along the way. Indeed, in selecting the 33rpm dial rather than that marked 45, Full Circle at once opened up the new space inside a music some of us went bananas to 30 years ago, and at the same time made sense of a crucial yet forgotten heritage; a confession became a badge of honour.

Coming back to Full Circle and its genesis: it was only a matter of time before the old Goa records would come back down from the racks and spawn a new life, and perhaps whilst Le-Tan cemented something a lot of us knew, Disco Valley somehow liberated many of those early records from their stylistic shackles initiating a creative project that - along side the collaborative work with Joakim - has released a wave of inspirational edits and re-imaginations. Full Circle - in all its conceptual & metaphorical majesty - really has come to represent the most stylish of takes on past sounds, both in the realm of selection and re-working. It is certainly true that Back to Disco Valley - sounding now as it did then (to the select tuned ears that got to listen) - reflects a perfect meeting between an off-tempo past, present and future, being more than a functional assemblage, it revives many a lost memories, inspiring a new batch of ideas. There is nothing wrong with looking back, as long as it has a purpose.

Full Circle - Back To Disco Valley (GMT 52)

It's come to that time of the year again, well a bit later, but you know what they say... Time to unleash the beast once more yet a different one it is. Still following the same thread: moving forwards whilst looking backwards, continuing the explorations and the excavations to and from Knowhere. Unexpected blends and mash-ups which will hopefully give birth to new ideas for some, inspirations for others. Well, they have for us as we can now turn this page and move on... As you might've guessed by now, this message can be seen as an announcement: a new episode, airing soon on Good Morning Tapes. So, keep your eyes peeled and enjoy what you have whilst it is still here, who knows what will happen next!

Full Circle - Further Knowhere (GMT 61)

Exploring different forms of pace through speed and half time, tribal rhythms colliding with industrial dub, bridging a new form of subconscious trance. Add to that a pinch of lysergic ambiance here and there to change the dynamics and calm things down before it all goes hectic again. Just don't be scared to break through and discover another trip into The Other Side.

Immerse yourself into the sound bath and drift away as you lock into the groove. Follow the rhythm which drives your feet around and around, there is no route just continuous movement whilst you get lost in sound. As you lean into the trance and dance experience your inner psyche reveals itself. Let yourself go, such is the tempo...

Sensory overload, never ending delays for the first couple of tracks: what goes up must go higher. Cut once noticed, bring it down a notch and build again... 
Sometimes a wrong start can be turned around to ones advantage. In this particular case the ending definitely makes up for the bad beginning, but it could also turn out the other way round...

Following the tracks whilst the snowy landscape brushes past the windows. As one focuses more closely on this forward motion the eyes are drawn to the snow. Zoom in closer and a whole different visual universe unfolds. The endless connections are made throughout these different branches, like an aural tapestry unweaving endlessly…

Let’s go out with a bang for this last transmission of the season. As my services are requested elsewhere for this show, I have dug up a special treat. Recorded at exactly the same time last year @ Point FMR, this set from the Supercamp Off literally blew the roof offf. However, let’s say it was just a warm-up to something special that happened in the same place a few weeks ago, which will be shared with you soon. Play it loud and don’t forget to tune back into The Other Side after the summer!

https://ozorafestival.eu - Reaching out into the deepest realms of your imagination and displaying, sharing that glorious, that grotesque, that unparalleled treasure you find within is one of the pillars of the Ozora experience.
The experience of a parallel existence created by our diversely colored dreams and visions of the same pure unblemished space, paradise on earth, our fairy tale. 
A reality where caring for each other, for our world is as important as our love and respect of all Mother Earth’s creatures.
A universe of openness, togetherness, where we can evolve towards becoming one with cosmic energies, with nature, with consciousness, with wholeness through dance, trance, creation, invention, transformation and peace.
A playground where we learn to share and care, to express and connect, to create and heal, to unify and beautify the world around us and in us.
With unfaltering belief we set sail yet again, under the flag of love and light, together on our journey towards the newest experiences and treasures yet to be discovered in summer 2014.

GENRES ARE FOR JOURNALISTS

After stumbling into some fluoro drapes and mad psychedelic music somewhere in a field around 93, the path to becoming a Goa Trance DJ was inevitable.
Before the turn of the millenium and after having lived the dream, I realized there was maybe a bit more to life and sailed towards a different journey. Meeting many friendly music heads along the way who always helped broaden my horizons... Spinning round the block and back a few times... Carrying on my mission to spread the music or the word, I eventually came back to the sound of my youth and gave it a new twist. 
In life, things always come Full Circle and you will find a good representation of that here… 
Been trying to slow things down as much as I can in these modern days where we all live in the fast lane! 
Check in when you can for regular updates, see you on The Other Side, or on the dance floor somewhere soon…
