about

Unreleased Goa Records proudly presents "Gateway", the debut album of Hungarian artist Skarma. Zoltán Habó started producing Goa Trance in 2002, at a time it was less and less heard at parties. His first tracks were made with Commodore 64, Nord Modular, E-mu E5000, Korg EA-1, Lexicon MPX-1, Virus b, and a PC with Celeron 566 MHz. His main source of inspiration was the trance genre in general, which he converted musically to Melodic Goa Trance; melodies are a key component of his tracks, with up to 2-3 layers at a time. The "breakdown - climax" structure is very typical of the Skarma sound.

Zoltán wanted a unique name for his project. While flipping through a Lakadhi-English dictionary, he came across "skar ma" ("star" in English) and decided to use it as it is both euphonic and easy to remember. Since 2003, he released numerous compilations tracks on labels Hado Records, Suntrip Records, Global Sect Music and S.U.N. He performed at countless live events, including: Sonar Plexus 2004 (Hungary), Ozora 2005 (Hungary), Return To Goa Festival 2010 (Romania), Balkan Goa Fanatics: Suntrip Records 10 Years Anniversary 2014 (Croatia), Fractal Gate Spring Edition 2015 (Belgium), Balkan Goa Fanatics: A Rise Of Balkanix 2015 (Croatia), New Sun Year Trip 2016 (Serbia), Digital Forest Festival 2017 (Czech Republic), Balkan Goa Fanatics: Sea Edition 2017 (Croatia), Apsara Festival 2018 (Romania), Spiritual Movement 2019 (Israel), S.U.N. Festival 2017-2018-2019 (Hungary).

His debut album "Gateway" is the first stop on a trip down memory lane, a journey deep into the Skarma archives. It compiles his very first Goa Trance productions written in 2002-2004. The title of the album refers to the other side of the gate, which characterizes Zoltán’s personal musical world: ecstatic dance, happiness, submergence into waves of melodies. Legendary acts such as Man With No Name and Astral Projection served as sources of inspiration for the tracks. Unreleased Goa Records plans to release more by this talented artist in the near future.
