Goa Party 1992 - Maharashtra Holi Party (morning)

When in Goa it was impossible to have a party, the tribes moved to Maharashtra. It did not work for long, soon also there the police was stopping the parties, but we had a few memorable ones. This is a video of the Holi Party (march 1992). Camera work by Hein. Editing by Iris.

[@iriswolong]

I have more footage of some parties of the nineties, but it was always very difficult to film, because people were paranoid and tried to stop us. Someone even attempted once to rip the tape and destroy it. I was always saying: in 20 years you will be happy to see this and I was right!

[@janasolnce]

thank you SO MUCH for this video!!!! One can completely understand the level of paranoia and willingness to keep it private, but yes, seeing this now it was like a THE BEST visual orgasm!! I was 4 when this was taken, seeing so much similarities, feelings, states.. and everything there just gives you goosebumps especially because i can relate now. Thank you again for this wonderful footage. And yea, I can imagine how obvious this filming process was, when there was no mobile phones :)))

[@traviswinn]

I filmed at Paradiso in 1997/98 I know what you mean about people not wanting to be filmed!!! I used to film everything all of the time in the 1990s and early 2000s before everyone got cameras and then phones. So many people now have cameras and neither myself or my friends film much anymore (except for short clips on IG/FB...)

[@Man_with_no_name]

Thank you so much for the this, the vibe is so pure, Ican feel it, this never gets old. I keep watching it again and again. I was only 3 years old when this was happening. Goa and the whole scene has changed a lot since then.

As it was getting hot a lot of people in this video headed north to Himachel Pradesh and put on some parties in the woods around Manali in the summer of 1992. Good times sorely missed.

[@skapunker1986]

1995 was the first time i went to Goa, i was only 9 years old, Visiting my father from Goa. ( im half Dutch, half Indian ) he used to have a Beach Resturant Shack in between Candolim and Calengute, Other times i visited was in 1998 and 2001 when i was 12 and 14 years old. the Third time i really got the age that i wanted to go out, and see those Famous Goa trance parties. Taking a boat ( like the ones u see at 17:30 ) from Baga river to Ajuna beach and then kept on going behind the Ajuna Flea market up to the next beach on Vagator Beach, ( with the Shiva face carved into the Rocks ) Over there i experienced one of the coolest experiences i ever had in my life, a Goa Trance Beach party, going on from sundown till sunrise, i still have fond memories of dancing on the beach, watching sun rise. and take a dive into the Sea. come out of it, and just continue partying. ( This thing spoiled me completely, because all future indoor Psy parties ive been to, could never live up to this experience )

Best Goa DJ from any time period. He was an actual DJ, who selected music from multiple genres, a crate digger, & would curate. Everything that came after '94-95 was almost strictly contemporary - psytrance specific produced music. Laurent was a true pioneer & DJ.

[@fabiovrizzo]

Psychedelic Magazine

[@PsychedelicMagazine]

***** take the chill pill bro

[@floordoctor]

​@sky scratch - I agree with you. Hardcore psytrance folks are cult like in their approach to the music. I was DJing between Goa & Koh Phangan in the early to mid 90s, when the point was to pull from many different genres of music to curate a very long DJ set. Back when residencies were a thing, and the journey was far more varied, and musically driven. It evolved out of the Italo, Acid, & Techno worlds organically....half of it released on Belgian labels from '90-94. That was the club music crossover I loved back then. I could play the same shit at rave in NYC, a club in Antwerp, or Frankfurt....and play it on a beach in SE Asia.

[@floordoctor]

Of course, the point was to have a psychedelic undertone / vibe for much of the party....but you still played records at sunrise with a melodic elements, and could slow the tempo to 120-127 for a bit....rather than just banging people to death. DJs in that region went one of two ways around 1995. They stuck with ALL types of music surrounding Techno/New Beat/House.....or....they become "Trance" DJs. LOL. The latter was a popular option for those that wanted to continuously travel, or become pseudo ex-pats. The serious psytrancers vs the progressive / anthem type shit were even further apart than I thought they'd be LMAO. Such a weird era..1995-1999. The thing is....real DJs took risks back then. The music was fluid, and the analog hardware being used certainly played a role. The rigidity of "psytrance" is when I completely lost interest that scene...and I think most doing the seasonal living over there were happy about that. It takes little-to-no skill to DJ w/ that kind of music. They were all so happy when CDJs / and affordable lil MIDI controllers were able to replace doing sets with DATs. LOL.

[@floordoctor]

The production all started to follow the same template only 2-3 years after this party. Short snappy breaks throughout - to emphasize the kick every 45 seconds; then the same sample packs, which everyone shared with each other (never mind the same f'n music to DJ with), the same drum programming w/ triplets & loop automation FX. Some stupid vocal sample occasionally about consciousness, the cosmos, or spiritual in nature. Smh. The biggest thing of all which DESERVES criticism is the bass & kick. They ALL use bass samples. No one uses, or learns synths. The template is the exact same basically for manipulation of the primary bass note to work with kick, and EQ'd as such for phasing. Everything gallops with 1/16 notes. It's ridiculous. Zero creativity, everyone just does the same shit. The TB-303 now replaced with the same bass sounds. I get it, they like the way it hits...and there are some appealing aspects of that OCCASIONALLY....not a whole fucking night of it! That punch can be accomplished in other ways. Yes, "trance" has found it's way...and I, for one, am glad I've been no part of it for the last 25 years. Acid Techno / Acid House / and proper Techno Bass/Electro are having a revival. That's what's up! Too bad, psytrancers weren't willing to learn more about real techno production. Their music would have a chance at evolving for the better IMO. cheers.

no, there weren't "thousand more". Only a few and only until maybe 1994, after that, nice parties were only happening in Arambol and soon after, nowhere... only commecial wannabe-tribe parties.

​@@AnaDiLupis I agree to disagree. I live in bombay . There were many more my friend. You seem to have missed a few in that case. No worries incase you got to experience it even once. They went on a lot longer then 1994 lol. GOA was not the only psy destination.

@@patrick_1984 you are too young to know better...I guess.

[@floordoctor]

Back then it was much more driven by a techno sound...acid & italo production integrated itself, or evolved rather dramatically...and splintered into some rather shitty music IMO. These early days of Goa def had a lot of crossover music that was being played in in techno clubs in Germany & Belgium. Once the genre of "psytrance" really took hold...it all went downhill IMO.
