Artists Bio:

'I discovered psy trance in 2002 through my mate Ash (Celtic Psy forum keymaster/Psilocybe Tribe(prev.k/a DossePosse)), after 25 years of northern soul & 2 years of techno!

I began accumulating tunes, going to club nights-Alien Resonance/Sunrise/U.V/Kulu/Cabbage & outdoor psy parties in North Wales.

I never set out to be a dj, I just wanted to hear my taste in psy trance. I began by playing a few tunes @ the end of outdoor parties when everyone else was too wasted to play.

Then, based on my enthusiasm & taste, (I think !?) Bez23(Kulu) asked me if I was up for playing @ Kulu (Bradford May 2005) WoW-my chance to play my favourite tunes. I wasn't gonna turn that chance down just because I couldn't dj !

I had 2 months to get to grips with the mechanics of dj ing, anyway its the tunes that count !!

It's been & still is a slow but interesting learning curve this dj malarkey. But, hey I'm enjoying it & for as long as they keep making tickety boo tunes that make me move I'll keep wanting to play them.

Thanks to Ash (celtic psy forum admin/psilocybe tribe & good friend) for getting me hooked on psy trance, for letting me practice on his cdj1000's and for sorting me my own decks & mixer.

Thanks to Gerry Aum (Kulu/Sunrise) for 1st putting the headphones on my head and encouraging me.

Thanks to Bez23 & Kulu for starting my dj ing ball rolling.

Thanks to Messmedia's leap of faith by giving me my 1st residency.

Thanks to Sunrise (Leeds) for my 2nd & current residency.

Thanks to Anushka (Bristol), Shanti (Liverpool), UltraViolet (Wirral) & AudioAddictz (internet radio) for also taking me on as a resident

Thanks to all who have let me loose behind their decks & have helped to make me the obsessed psy trance anorak I am today !!'

Peace and positivity to all as we approach a brand new year :)) 

And to mark this occasion we have a very special treat for the listeners of Back To Goa.  An excluisve mix from one of the pioneers of psy-chill, Dimitri AstroPilot!  Specially for the show, AstroPilot has crafted an hour long mix of chilled and dreamy trance with elements lifted directly from his brand new album 'Here and Now' just released on Altar Records.

We hope you enjoy and wish everyone a very happy new year :))  

Track listings (please visit the album release site for Here and Now listings):

http://www.altar-records.com/hereandnow.html

Artist's own bio:

"AstroPilot comes from Siberia, Russian Federation.  Behind the name is Dmitry Red'ko.

For the past 10 years he has been experimenting with music and sounds.

His music is the direct outcome of his true passion for the sonic world and a lot of hard work in the studio. AstroPilot has quickly become a well recognized name in Psychedelic Ambient circles. His music is a reflection, and combines the culture, sights and sounds form his homeland.

AstroPilot manages to generate a considerable buzz especially in the local Russian Psychedelic club scene and as a result has been grabbing the attention from some of the bigger names in the industry. When listening to his music, it is sometimes hard to believe that behind his sound there is just a 26 year old lad who loves to express his visions through his music.

Dmitry has been listening to The Future Sound of London and The Orb since he was a little boy. He has also been inspired by the writer Vasily Golovachev and alike...

AstroPilot is at home in atmospheres. His music sweeps the listener away into a world of imagination and hypnotizes with it's ethnic spices, rhythms and samples, a higher state of consciousness for the listen, his goal.

He is always looking for something new for his performances, in beginning it was more Downtempo Psychedelic trip and now his sets and performances are more dance-able. Including more Ethnic and modern rhythms parts.

His first album "Fruits Of The Imagination" was released on Avatar in October 2007.  His second album "Solar Walk" was released on Altar Records, Canada, and a third album on Altar Records still, just released this November 2010."

An exclusive mix this week from producer and DJ, Brad Gamma.  When not composing his own music, inspired in his own words by a desire to create 'psychedelic madness!', Brad is studying for an Msc in Digital Composition and Performance.

Artist's Bio:

Brad Gamma is the electronic artist Bradley Burns's trance-dance motivated alter-ego. Dominated by bizarre psychedelic soundscapes and melodies, the music creates a journey through the dark, the light, the insane, the messy, the uniform, the scary and the silly. It is to be fully enjoyed whilst stomping around dancefloors or alternatively by floating above them.

So, Undertoad, dont ask! I'm Neil, i come from Newcastle and to quote Sam Cook, " I like psytrance for breakfast" ! Im a folk musician who developed a love for psychadelic music after living with the Ozric Tentacles in Wimbledon in the eighties, going to festivals and seeing bands like the Ullulators and The Oroonies, (still my favourite ever live band). I usually play alongside partner in psytrance PsyWave (Mark Zf of Zoviet France) Mark taught me how to build a set, how to create a mood on the dancefloor, we do harder faster more full on sets but tend to drift back to progressive uplifting tracks.
