Old Skool Proto Trance/Techno Label established in 1992, but with releases on other labels earlier,
About Me:
Been involved with music for many years, first just as a regular partygoer and stomper and then a producer and have been into Electronica and dance music since my 1st apocalypse now party in early 88( although was listening to early electronic music long before the start of Rave music) and right thru the rave scene that followed involving the best parties of Sunrise and Back to the Future, and then went to Goa at the start of 1990 with 3 friends who were to become players in the upcoming Trance scene, and there we danced to the dark brooding new beat and techno crossover tunes which were the start of what was to become goa trance, the music in 91 and 92 was called by many people Trance Dance which went on to become Goa Trance and eventually Psytrance. And in 1991 I released my 1st song Cyborg Energy with my friend Terry Burton on Fokus Records and later a remix of the same song and then in 1992 with my MAN music partner Ack Tambala set up a small label Bomm Records mainly so we could release our own music, along with a band called Freak -quency Generator who released one song before leaving to do their own thing,my partner Ack and myself then carried on. Our music was always more influenced by the style which is now called Old School, where as our contemporaries were pioneering what was to become Psy Trance, we however preferred to produce the music which had inspired Trance in the 1st place (which is sometimes known as Proto Trance !!! ) but is in fact many different styles such as spanish EBM or Italo Disco or Belgian New Beat or English Rave or quite Simply Techno ! But when fused together by the early electronic pioneer goa djs became simply Goa music !! We felt there was still room for more music to be made in the original style that we had first heard in 90 91 and 92 which set us aside from our peers musically, Our studio has been shutdown for a few years sadly. But am now in the process of setting up again, because i just love making music for music sake ONLY!!!!!!! gonna start producing once more, i have continued to compose for the last 8 years though when the time could be found, we have learnt that our releases are more popular now than ever, especially our one and only Album. Know Thyself on Bomm Records. which never got the attention it deserved mainly we feel because it was released at a time when Goa or psy Trance was becoming the dominant genre in Electronic Dance music being released, where as our album was more retro and less conformist For info on this rare and highly sought after album please visit www.discogs.com and for all other release history info...We have included on this channel both released and unreleased material( both new and old) of various different electronica styles, and also a few tracks from the album, but only a small selection from the album so as to be fair to the people still buying it, because we feel its a little unfair to give the entire cd away for gratis, when people are paying hard cash for it.. The music here is freely available and downloadable for your perusal and pleasure, not everyone is a Breadhead, despite what some jerks would have you believe, we hope you enjoy... Love and Light.... Nik Meltdown and Ack Tambala.
