It seems by these days the history of Gosh and his projects continues to be one of the most memorable moments in Latvian underground history. Here we are proud to present the unique retrospective compilation of a few gems from the final - electronic - period of Gosh's residence on Earth, bringing you the uplifting but still dreamy house mix, to remind about the halcyon days, or rather nights of Latvian rave-o-lution of the mid-90s. Not every DJ in this country reached to compose his own tracks, thus compiling them into one meaning; but this mix is brought exclusively by Gosh, with some little producing of INQB8R team. We were excited to keep Gosh's work in such form after
conversing with him
directly in space.

Gosh is a musician of the Latvian club subculture, the leader of the legendary project Yaputhma which is rather famous, but not widely popular in Latvia.
Music presented here is a half an hour mix in electro-house genre. There were times when such music was popular on Moscow's Station 2000, it was played for hours, its place and time are still left in the past 90s. As for instruments, basic attention is paid here on dance rhythms, numerous female voice samples and acid sounds of groove boxes, substitutes of anthropogenic machines used earlier by the whole Detroit techno school.
The mix consists of several compositions joint between each other, everything is very positive, but at the same time absolutely not experimental and narrow-streamed. It's just the club music from the past sounding, which you may even not catch on the radio now ? such music is already hard to find. At 7:19 there appears very interesting and making glad turning to the side of deliberate dark. But this darkness is not frightening at all, these are just shades slowly falling onto the city, the boat thrown to the shore keeps getting overgrown by flowers of non-transient nostalgia.
If you haven't been in 90s clubs, and haven't heard "Station 2000", and don't know anything about the first raving movements, most likely you won't like this release, and it will be absolutely incomprehensible. But if you are 'in the topic' then you'll smile hearing the first minutes of Halcyon Nights, as it's the flashback to the past, when the sun was soft, people were more open, and it seemed that the future of electronic music is ahead of it.
...and the Russian version as well:

Gosh - музыкант из клубной латышской суб-культуры и организатор легендарного проекта Yaputhma, имеющего в Латвии достаточную известность, но не популярность.
Музыка здесь - это собранный получасовой микс в стиле электро-хаус, в свое время такую музыку очень любили часами крутить на Станции 2000, ее место и время так и осталось в далеких 90-х годах. В качестве инструментов основной упор здесь поставлен на танцевальные ритмы, многочисленные женские голосовые сэмплы и кислотные звучки грувбоксов, заменителей техногенных машин, которые в свое время использовала вся детройтская текно школа.
Микс состоит из нескольких объединенных между собой композиций, все очень позитивно, но при этом совсем не экспериментально и узконаправленно. Просто звучит клубная музыка из прошлого, можно даже не включать радио - сейчас такого плана музыку уже не найти. На 7 минуте 19 секунде появляется очень интересный и радующий затемненный уход в сторону нарочитой дарковости, но это отнюдь не пугающая темнота, это просто тени, медленно опускающиеся на город, выброшенная на берег лодка продолжает зарастать цветами не проходящей ностальгии.
Если вы не были в клубах 90-х годов, не слышали Станцию 2000 и ничего не знаете о первых рэйвах, тогда по всей вероятности этот релиз может вообще не понравиться и покажется совсем непонятным. Но если вы в теме, тогда у вас на лице появится улыбка, когда заиграют первые минуты Halcyon Nights, ведь это флэшбэк в прошлое, когда солнце было мягким, люди были более открытыми, и казалось, что у электронной музыки все еще впереди.
