DJ Joel in Goa

Goa has attracted travelers for centuries, but the past few decades have been particularly buzzing.  There are many things to recommend Goa, with its gorgeous biodiversity, and amazing beaches that are legendary.  The city is large enough to have many distinct cultures, and small enough to maintain a laid back pace and sensibility.  The night life is extraordinary, and the city becomes the stuff of legends.  Here is where the attitudes of life by the beach start to really shine, and this is why in Goa, spa resorts are so fantastic.  We’ve selected the cream of the crop, so that you’ll get to stay in lodgings that are as sumptuous and pleasantly surprising as the place is.

In the 60s and 70s, Goa was an absolute magnet for global youth culture.  Young people from all over were coming here to visit, looking for spiritual enlightenment and a bit of fun on the beach.  Some of these travelers stayed, and some went back home and bragged about the paradise they’d discovered.  In those days, there was a heady mix of individuals engaged in intense explorations into personal discovery and art.  In the art department, the visual relics of the time are the paintings that continue to influence the new generation of artists.  The sonic relics were the origins of Goa trance.

The music came from a range of influences from artists of multiple cultural backgrounds, but a lot of the musical from came from European-descended musicians trying to create their version of the local music, and then adding electronic beats.  The form has evolved immensely from that time, and today is a global phenomenon.  With this history, it’s interesting to hear the beats played by the locals, and DJ Joel is a local to look out for.  He’s very well-traveled with his music, but his mastery of the rhythms are usually demonstrated in Goa.  It’s fortunate for us.  The eclectic blend of trance, house, and retro is addictive, luring the crowds into a spectacular bliss that starts to get to the heartbeat of Goa after dark.
