really helpful and lots of great advice there.
A quick question if you please... would you like to collaborate with anyone on an album and if so who?
To be perfectly frank Disciple I'm not that inspired by many people inside the Psytrance scene much anymore.
Not because there aren't any good producers, there are, it's just that stylistically the form has become so crystallized into one particular thing, that there's not much room for experimentation/exploration anymore.
If I had to chose anyone then it would be Merv Pepler (Eat Static - Ozric Tentacles etc)
Eat Static's music, with it's blend of Dance/Rave/Aliens/psychedelic I would argue, was a major contributor to the whole early Goa sound.
Yet they never got locked into the genre of "Goa" they always kept their path of being creative. Which makes them innovators rather than followers IMO.
I saw them at Glade a couple of years ago (standing onstage to the side) and was blown away by the music and the performance - no pretend onstage live mixing, REAL live mixing.
Merv was all over the channel mutes and fx sends on the mixer and switching patches on the fx rack while Joie was tweaking the trippiest sounds from an old Roland SH5 feeding them into the desk so Merve could dub them out.
Near the end of the set, Tristan turned to me and said, "Trancends the genre." Which sums them up nicely.
_________________________________________
For a collaboration outside of the Trance scene then one favourite would be Nile Rodgers - that is if I could hold it together long enough not to go into a Waynes World style: "I am not worthy, I am not worthy."
In case you don't know Nile Rodgers (probably not many do in the Trance scene)
As well as being a dance music pioneer (and imo the funkiest rhythm guitarist on the planet) he's produced:
Chic, Sister Sledge, Madonna, Diana Ross, Duran Duran, David Bowie, Jeff Beck, Mick Jagger, Peter Gabriel to name a few...
Here he tells a great story about how he and his music partner Bernard Edwards (Chic) got their first big break into the music biz:

Thanks for replying mate, I can hear what your saying about creativity and the staleness of the genre. I guess when I suggested Astral projection that I was somehow wanting to turn back time and relive the 90's again! I guess that was because back then I got a real feeling of creativity and freshness from the genre which is missing these days. Ive never really got into Eat Static's music but will give a listen on your recommendation.
What do you think is the future of psytrance then, more cross genre and performance based? How far would you like to see psytrance evolve? How much further can it go?
