Goa Psychedelia

DJTSUYOSHI Goa Trance set from Return To The Source ( legend Goa Trance party in London from '94~'00 ) @Rocket in London on '94 4th Dec !!!!! Long time to hear it !!!!

DJTSUYOSHI played RTTS@ROCKET in London 94 4thDec.WAV

In 1996 I was pretty much in full Goa / Psy Trance mode. Psychedelia was a tape that I did that focused on that sound. Full on Goa sounds that will melt your mind.

Thee-O - Psychedelia (1996 Mixtape)

Part of the rare California Project. 16 tapes from 8 DJ's. Only 100 were made. Other DJ's in the The California Project are Ron D. Core, DJ Dan, Simply Jeff, DRC, Jon Bishop, DJ Trance, and Vitamin D. This mix includes tracks from Aphex Twin, Locust and Mu-Ziq.

Thee-O - Analog Mindtrip (1994 Mixtape)

Part of the rare California Project. 16 tapes from 8 DJ's. Only 100 were made. Other DJ's in the The California Project are Ron D. Core, DJ Dan, Simply Jeff, DRC, Jon Bishop, DJ Trance, and Vitamin D. This mix was a ambient chill out mix.

Thee-O - Dream Themes (1994 Mixtape)

The Journey begins on the sunny shores of Goa...and travels through a galaxy of multicolored rhythms and playful psychedelia. Music that can allow the dancer to get totally lost in the dance and radiate with a loved smile. 

Mixed using 2 turntables and 1 CD player....and recorded through a very raw limiter for the sound of the early mix tapes.....pumping and crunchy....analogue and warm...not crisp sharp and digital. Lets all go back to DiscoValley for the twilight twist.............

Thought to be lost forever, I discovered an actual high quality MA-XG TDK cassette I recorded from Omar's original Master Ampex Reel which was made in the early months of 1984, exactly 30 years ago today.  Multiple Editing was an integral part of 80's Dance Music and even though it was The Latin Rascals who made splicing tape popular in the early 80's, it was Omar Santana who took editing to another level which was never duplicated by anyone.  And this mix is the proof.

I spent most of my weekends in Omar's lab in Hollis, Queens in 1984 and we figured out the formula for tape moving at 15 inches per second X 120 BPM's = 7.5 inches per beat.  With this formula, splicing tape became an art, everything was in perfect time and kicks could be replaced by snares and repeated in machine gun fashion,

This is Electronic Dance Music being created in the beginning when technology was at it's birth.

Thee-O - Cybersex (1993 Mixtape)

Live DJ set from the heyday of Psytrance. Full on. Classy. With more than a cheeky nod to the old skool of 90s Goa psychedelia, while keeping it loosely in the first half of the noughties. Dare You Goa Back To The Future? Boom Shanka!!!

Thee-O - Cybersex 2 (1994 Mixtape) - Side B

This contains both sides of my mix tape Sub Space from 1994. It was a double mix tape with Joe Babylon. Here is the info from the J-Card supplied by Discogs:

Orbit 1: Thee-O 
An inter-dimensional voyage that begins with Ambient and ends with Hard Acid
Orbit 2: Joe Babylon 
A stellar combination of Ambient and Detroit beats that lead to hyperdrive
Sub Space
Below the calmness and tranquility of deep space is a realm untouched by humans. A realm brightened by a blue sun. A milky way of galaxies roam above. The intensity of so much light is almost blinding. Below is a sea of supernovas. A closer look reveals that black holes are slowly eating the supernovas away. Celestial dragons (able to breathe the negative particles in Sub Space) fly through space finding rest on passing meteors. UFO's buzz by in swarms that remind me of a school of fish playing in a coral reef. In the corner of my eye I see a gaseous planet. A faint sound pierces my ear. I move closer to the sound. I realize these are some of the radio waves that we receive on Earth through those giant satellite dishes. I pull out my pocket recorder and record the sounds. I later found out the cause of these noises were two alien lifeforms who pass the time by mixing noises through means of sophisticated electronic gadgets. Those tapes are actual recordings from the radio waves in Sub Space. Enjoy at your own risk.

Live recording mixtape from my first out of state gig in El Paso, Texas. This mix is a mixture of techno and hard acid. Listen close and you can hear the whistles from the crowd. There were only 100 of this tape made. 50 sold in El Paso, 50 in Los Angeles. 

Thee-O - Live at Communion, El Paso, Texas (1995 Mixtape)

I was originally planning on Cybersex 4 to be the last one of the series but I was intrigued by a new style of trance that included a breakbeat sound to it. At the time I was having Pure Acid Mixtapes do a lot of my mixes and they wanted a new Cybersex tape as well. I am glad I did. I think it rounds out the series pretty well. So here you go...I hope you enjoy.

Thee-O - Cybersex 5 (1998 Mixtape)

Originally recorded in 1995 as part of a double pack with (The Light Side) of The Force. This mix is filled with dark techno and acid on one side and also hard and aggressive techno on the other side. This is both sides on one mp3. Originally released on Biohazard Production, this was later rereleased on Pure Acid Mixtapes in 1997.

Thee-O - The Force (Dark Side) (1995 Mixtape)

Thee-O - Alien Voyage (1997 Mixtape)

Thee-O started DJing at the young age of 13 and by the time he was 18 in 1992, he started DJing in the thriving underground rave scene of Southern California. He has created a name for himself while changing genres and staying true to his integrity, committing to what he feels is the best in underground dance music. His consistency of skillful mixing and lively scratching has cemented “his sound” regardless of what genres co-mingle in his style.

In addition to his DJing, Thee-O is also an accomplished producer and remixer that have landed tracks on Bedrock, Suara, Perfecto, Looq, Drops and System Recordings to name just a few. His approach to music production mimics his DJing artistry in the aspect that genre comes second over the feeling of the music. Genres and styles are split, shattered and then reformed into songs that work on multiple dance floors.

Recently, he was DJing and producing with Robert Pointer (AKA Robtronik) under the name Stylus. Stylus is also responsible for some of the most engaging events to occur in Los Angeles . Their events have occurred in amazing venues such as King King in the heart of Hollywood, The Standard Rooftop in downtown LA and Los Globos in the trendy Silverlake area, while attracting international talent of both House and Techno to join in on the fun. Thee-O also continues to work with the LA Based "re:love" crew to plan and execute the legendary park parties as well as pushing the brand to extend itself into new venues and opportunities.

As of January 2019, Thee-O has relocated to Honolulu. He is already DJing on the islands and has played for events at venues like Nextdoor and Hawaiian Brian’s as well as the Tropical Oasis Retreat in Maui. While he is on the islands, the slower pace of life will allow him to work on music with less distractions and should increase his output. 

While a lot can be talked about when it comes to “Old School,” Thee-O walks the walk. He has accomplished a lot in his 24 years of being a DJ, producer and promoter and he is just getting started. He remains wildly popular while staying firmly planted into the underground scene and not falling into the hype that can surround the current EDM culture. With a new island home, new ventures, new branding, new tracks, and new ideas, the future is going to be one for the books with lots more to come from this music innovator.
