about

Unreleased Goa Records proudly presents "Balagan", the final chapter of the Shakti Twins trilogy. Shakti Twins comprises Dominique Patte, her son Tommy Genot, and Benjamin Schoendorff. They started as an artistic association in 1995 in France, where they built a studio and produced music. Two years later, they moved to Holland, where they set up the label Shakti Dance Productions. During this period, Shakti Twins organized and took part in many psytrance events in Slovakia, the Czech Republic, Germany, Holland ("Temple of Light"), United Kingdom ("Cabbage"), France, Switzerland ("Black Sun Gathering"), Portugal ("Boom Festival"), Israel, Goa (India) and Koh Pha-ngan (Thailand). Dominique, known at the time as DJ Domy, mixed mostly ambient music and took care of deco and art installations. She also worked as a Grand VJ with Xpose, Photoshop and Illustrator to embellish parties with MIDI video projections played live on keyboard. DJ Tommy had his own studio and has been a prolific producer and contributor to the project. Shakti Twins and their label ceased operations in 2002.

After the successful digital reissues of "Shakti Twins" (2020) and "Psychedelic Family" (2022), Shakti Twins collaborates again with Unreleased Goa Records to publish the last remaining unreleased pieces produced by the trio as well as some rare compilation tracks. "Balagan" gathers six previously unreleased tracks ripped from the band’s DAT tapes and MiniDiscs, along with "Saimon" and "Moon Palace", the latter in full length for the first time ever.

All tracks featured in this album were produced between 1997 and 1998, using Cubase, Logic Audio, Vision and numerous analogue synths such as MS-20, Korg, Nordlead, Pulse, Waldorf, Novation Bass Station and Prophecy. They also used a sampler to record various voices, including that of Dominique’s daughter, Ayla.
