Just last week I helped him celebrate his birthday (how old now? 100?) outside of Santa Cruz California. I heard one single trainwreck in the whole 10pm-7pm set, and even then it was maybe 1.5 seconds long. What can you do, though? Cant pitch a DAT!
The energy at that party was unbelievable! Building and building up to the final few hours. He was going to stop but we all had too much energy still, so he played a few more! It was a wonderful time. Thanks to Baba Gil!

i like his compilations but his dj set its always too dark .
i like his music but he should play more morning goa trance.
sometimes i think he plays that dark style cuz we are in the darkest era until 2012in all aspects. |

Goa Gil is great, sometimes I have been dissapointed by his mixing, but through his experience and intuition he has a great feeling for the psychedlic. High energy, psychedelic psy parties like his are hard to come by these days. He is a man on a mission, there is a higher cause behind his music. Therefore I dont really mind if transitions sound messy.....in the end I guess its not that he couldnt do it differently, its just the way he wants to do things. Imo he believes in bringing the music across without modifying it too much, without ego tripping about having to incorporate nifty tricks into his sets. The man has a lot of musical background and experience...I am sure if he wanted to mix differently he could..its not that hard...
I am sure he knows what he is doing and if he likes to use dat or whatever fair enough....
As far as his change towards a darker style is concerned, it just shows he evolves and plays whatever he likes and finds psychedelic...he just wants to send us on a trip to explore our own darkside.
People dont incorporate chainsaw samples and tortured screams into psy music because they are evil or satanic or whatever...Zik doesnt make a track called "heroin" because he thinks its cool or good or something stupid like that.
Imo its only about pushing the boundries and breaking taboos, leading people to new ground...even if it seems dark there at first there is still light to be found

Goa Gil is psychedelic 
He is the one responsible for me understanding what is psychedelia, no morning, no dark, no full on, no minimal, no progressive.... Just Psychedelic
His aura, his energy, his vibe, his music, his DJ sets are unbelievable & extraordinarily stuffed with pure psychedelia & nothing else. I have not seen ANY DJ who can play for unlimited hours & still maintain the power & vibe for all the time spent at the console & wear that heavenly smile on the face & the look that reveals like nothing happened after all the chaos created by his music on the floor.
He has got a passion to create the experience called Trance Dance & he lives upto his passion & spread the vibe & energy where ever he plays, when ever he plays & however he plays.
Not speaking Technically; he is one of the best psychedelic DJ & does what a DJ is supposed to do i.e. take the psyheads to aa journey to the fantastic land of psychedelia through Trance Dance experience.
We were born naked & grow up to become wicked. |

well i guess if you looked at gil as a DJ technically you could bash him I guess. But if you look to him as a Digital Shaman (The way I believe he should be viewed)he is one of the greats!
how many of you can play for 18+ hours straight? lol.
Gil rocks. He is just plain out mental! |

Been there done that many times (and so have other DJ's too) and with way better mixing and a more variated track selection than his always dark hyperfast music. and trainwreck mixing.
I believe 100% that technical skill is just as important as track selection and communication with the crowd. Sadly he is one of the worse trainwreck DJ's in the world. IMO he should learn it fast. It's not so difficault. The technology has outdated DAT tapes and there is not excuse why he can not play with CD's and mix properly. The fact is the guy is too lazy to learn how to mix and people in the psytrance scene are way too uncritical when it come to him or DJ's in general. He is not that special after all. I've met the guy and sorry he's just a normal person like everybody else. And he is certantly not a talented DJ. He would not last a day in any other scene as a DJ.
Sorry for telling the truth. I am sure some here will get personal offended but the truth sometimes hurt a little when you put people on pedistals that do not deserve to be there.

lol u sound kinda upset cuz nobody here knows about you or yer dj sets... the fact is that the old man its a legend, bear with it... We all know that his mixing technique might not be the best but what counts is the final result, wich its a true psychedelic xperience... Lots of people have ben touched by his message, his intention behind the music, including me i must say. And it really means something, he is not just playing music randomly, he knows what to play, when and how 2 do it. And the fact that he is a regular guy just like everyone else its even better, bsides no 1 is saying other thing man... Its a real xperience to catch a gig where he plays, and i am looking 4ward 4 the next party in mexico city, also the next party in san carlos cant be missed
