Goa, a beach centred community on the west coast of
India, yet in global terms, and with particular reference to the worldwide dance scene,
the attitude and approach to life it has spawned has had a massive influence on peoples
approach to dance music. The cosmopolitan nature of the town and its ability to bring
together varied cultures from around the world in a party atmosphere, has led to the
exchange of positive musical ideas which in turn have been used creatively in the studio.
They meet in Goa, with flourescent lights in the palm trees and even more colour in their
clothes and souls. The results are moving.
The influence is truly global, we are witnessing its development from the techno
winterlands of Frankfurt, to the sun-soaked beaches of Melbourne, where Olly Olsen is
championing the Goa philosophy through groups such as Third Eye and Zan Paradox. In
Britain, the Goa style party is leading to the return of positivity within the club scene,
thanks to the likes of The Infinity Project and Ian St. Paul.
It is these same parties and progressive attitudes which inspired and brought together the
talent featured in Digital Alchemy. Man With No Name, a major influence on the 'Acid
House' scene in the late '80's, Ayahuasca, putting Brighton firmly on the 'Goa Party' map
through their member DJ. Dino Psaras. Voodoo People's Paul Jackson, who depsite his youth,
has already established himself as a force to be reckoned with on the more culturally
mature dancefloors, and Us (Universal Sound), whose dedicated mission it is to spread the
new musical message across the cosmos.
The Goa sound spreads and where better to experience the feel and attitude of this truly
magical place than on this album, which brings together some of the finest exponents of
the sound at the moment. It's a wonderful package which aims to break all barriers.
