about

Unreleased Goa Records is honored to officially reissue in digital format one of the most popular albeit rare Goa Trance compilations from the late 1990’s: "Psychedelic Family". 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 was a prolific producer and contributor to the project. Shakti Twins and their label ceased operations in 2002.

"Psychedelic Family" was available in limited quantity on CD-R from the old Shakti Twins' website at the end of the 90’s, along with the eponymous "Shakti Twins" album, released by Unreleased Goa Records in 2020. All tracks were written in 1999 by the band, with the occasional collaboration of some friends, artists who used to visit the Shakti Dance Studio and wished to remain anonymous. These tracks were always originally considered "works in progress," as all three members were perfectionists when it came to production. They used Cubase, Logic Audio, Vision, analogue synths such as MS-20, Korg, Nordlead, Pulse, Waldorf, Novation Bass Station, Prophecy, and a sampler to record various voices, including that of Dominique’s daughter Ayla. Major sources of inspiration for Shakti Twins were legendary acts such as ManMadeMan, Andy Guthrie, Analog Pussy, Chakra, and Eddie Mis, and other artists who released their work on Matsuri Productions.

Remastered with care, so as to improve the original audio quality for a full immersive stereo experience, this compilation is now available for the first time in digital format. This special reissue includes as bonus the complete artwork in full resolution and previously unreleased mixes of two tracks, exclusively for those who purchase it on Bandcamp.

"Psychedelic Family" is the second chapter of a trilogy on Unreleased Goa Records, which will conclude with a third album containing previously unreleased material.
