Labyrinth's bio:
"Greetings, My name is Elliott Vaughn, dj/producer/bassist representing Pangea Productions / Pure Perception Records, The Malah. I have been a musician most of my life playing the piano and bass guitar at a young age. In the summer of 1999 I was blown away by my first outdoor psy trance experience in the appalachian mountains. Ever since, I have been djing and producing psychedelic, progressive, tribal, and minimal sounds. Giving much passion and energy into each mix, telling a story and using the power of music to lift the mind, body, and spirit. I feel very blessed to have the oportunity to create and perfrom music that I love. Through music and art we can lift each other up and help each other realise that we are all connected and live in harmony with God, our Father, the Great Spirit, the Universal Consciousness. Along with Kameleon, we formed the collective Pangea Productions in 2000, and our record label Pure Perception Records in 2007. We have been blessed to work with some of our favorite producers from around the world releasing various froms of underground dance music. We also create tribal psy progressive under the name 'Bioluminescense', And bouncy techno/tech house under the name 'Life N Limbo'. We have had the opportunity to play at many events across North America in Atlanta, Montreal, NYC, California, Asheville as well as playing the Arcadia Festival 2008 in France. We have also held a residency on internet radio site DI.fm for the progressive channel and the psy/goa channel. Be on the look out for future mixes, releases, and events. "A Labyrinth has only one path, which leads the seeker to the center and back out again." peace, light, praise, love .."

AboutÂCryolab
This is my new project called Cryolab,its the brain child of all the musical ideas i have had over the pass few years and its proving to be one of my more intresting projects thus far. Basicly I was intreduced to electronic music at a young age and was inspired to go foth and create to speak. I draw a lot of my insparation from from sci-fi and horror movies, my music is mainly influnced but feeling and mood so I try put as much in to it as i can. I'm not trying to stick to any particular genre or sub-genre of music so it is what it is basicly just raw electronic music.

An exclusive bonus set this month from one half of the duo known as MINIMAL CRIMINAL! Currently based in Malta, Valerio Zhyin presents a killer mix of druggy prog and dark & twisted psy.
Full track listings:
1. Cause & Effect-stoflk stiflk
2. Minimal Criminal- crimson executioner
3. Onionbrain vs Zartrox- read and loaded
4. Grouch- pyramid schemev
5. Dopped- mundo estranho
6. Opsy- commit charge(Minimal Criminal remix)
7. Minimal Criminal- red mongolian deathworm
8. Hedonix- sixth circuit semantics
9. Product Placement- the distortionist
10. Moses- trukket i lyden(Cujorius One remix)
Minimal Criminal artist's Bio:
Since 2007, Zhyin has been working on the material for the Minimal Criminal debut album,which will be called "Minimus Maleficarum". Sometime in 2009 this CD will be released by Cosmic Conspiracy records (New Zealand).
Minimal Criminal make tracks in a variety of styles, borrowing elements from minimal techno/house, progressive trance and electro and incorporating them into the base Minimal Criminal sound. Most tracks have a dark vibe while some tracks display more light, though always deep and hypnotic. The bpms of the tunes also vary, ranging from 125 to 140.
The Minimal Criminal story goes back to the year 2003 in Rio de Janeiro, Brasil, when Zhyin and Echoes decided to create a project inspired by their favorite artists at the time such as Sensient, Krumelur, Cujorius One, etc. Their first release was in 2005 with the track, "Reefer and Barbeque" on the "Intelligent Manipulation" compilation CD from Zenon records(Australia), which was a collaboration with Swedish sonic weirdo act, Krumelur.
Since then,they've had tracks released by labels such as Cosmic Conspiracy records, Halu Beats (Hungary), and Pure Perception records (U.S.A).
2009 will be a good year for Minimal Criminal for several reasons. Firstly, since the two members can operate the project simultaneously in two parts of the world, the Minimal Criminal sound can spread farther.
Secondly, because more and more labels are interested in releasing their tunes, therefore there should be a good handful of releases that year. Eventhough Minimal Criminal has a more underground appeal due to their unconventional sound, there is more demand now more than ever for minimal and dark progressive music. Minimal styles from techno to trance are very popular now and Minimal Criminal fully embraces those sounds.

Another month another great bonus set contributor on Back To Goa. This time we present a special live set from Trance Conspiracy in Germany by DJ/producer 'aodioiboa'.
A resident of Leipzig, aodioiboa has been producing and DJ'ing for several years in the psychedelic trance scene, playing at parties across Europe and in places as far flung as the Acores islands. As a producer he has a wide focus, producing everything from druggy ambient dub to full-on 150 bpm psychedelic stormers. His track 'Moonpierz' became an instant hit in 2007 appearing in the excellent Motion Sensor compilation from Sonic Motion. Other notable releases were 'Jarring' and a remix of anne clarks 'closed circuit' on the mushroom compilation.
Since then aodioiboa has ramped up his production output considerably and will soon be releasing a brand new album showcasing his most recent works.Â

Back To Goa presents another bonus set from a great DJ/producer, Radioactive Cake. This set is a real dark and twisted treat, traversing everything from minmal glitchy psy to dark hypnotic prog. Enjoy!
Artist's own bio:
Radioactive.Cake, real name Robert Hundt, is a Berlin based producer of intelligent psygressive trance music with a touch of wilderness, dark fx and a carrot...from outer space! He produces a more minimal and darker form of progressive psytrance.
The Cake's intention is to surpass boundaries and establish a sound that is different from what is heard all too often.
His first musical steps were taken in 1999 when discovering the software "Audiomulch" and learning about structure and composition of electronic sounds, effects and track arrangements. But the Cake's knowledge and studio equipment took a continual advancement and will continue to do so. Robert is not only producing music, he also plays livesets and mixes music as dj, and has done so for over 8 years now.

In 2005, Michael decided to leave the Project for Family care. In 2006, the 2nd Album by New Age Hippies was released, as well as the first Album of the B-Side-Project "Smooth".
