Dragonfly definitely. Raja Ram was very early involved in the scene, but a lot of time passes before he set his record label.
Interview excerpt :
M: When did it all get going with your circle there?
R: It was about 10 years ago in '89. We started this group called The Infinity Project and that was how the initial started for TIP.
M: Was that early, around '89/'90?
R: In '89 we did our first party in December and played our first primitive tracks to our friends and we realized, "Wow, this is possible. We can do this." And so we went out and bought more equipment and spent the next 5 or 6 years putting it together.
M: Wow. And when was TIP Records formed?
R: That was about '94 so that came quite late. So we'd been actually a band and made 30 or 40 tracks by that time.
M: Now didn't you release some tracks on Dragonfly early on?
R: Dragonfly and Youth gave us our first break and we released a whole series of tracks and they're still releasing some back catalogue stuff again. They took us to a certain career and then we decided to go it alone.

AFAIK, Dragonfly's Project II Trance release in 1993 pre-dates any other "goa" label from those days. All of the others like TIP, Matsuri and Flying Rhino didn't get started until '94 or '95.
There were some labels like Harthouse, ZYX, and others that occasionally put out a random goa record before then, but Dragonfly was the first label to really just focus on that sound.
