We have been producing music since early 91 and was fortunate to be at the start of the trance scene just kicking off in goa, which back then we called trance dance. It has of course been around since the beginning of humanity as we all know( Well since we first learnt how to clap and stamp and to chant and how to make repetitve sound).It went on to become known as goa trance or psychedelic trance. It has undergone many different names and changes. Our music was and is, more tekno in style but with funky basslines and humorous voice samples heavily influenced by sci fi and all forms of Religion and comedy. We were also known for making music dubbed by others as trekno because of our love of star trek and Sci fi in general and we actually sampled the borg voices back in 92 long b4 the competion.And in fact Niks 1st release with Terry Burton was entitled Cyborg Energy (in 91 on Fokus Records by T.N.T ) in homage to the Trek, We also make hard chill style music (which we see as more laid back grooves,but still with good stompable solid beats) but as with all our different styles we change our band names to fit the music so look out for NIKNAK which is on a Drum and Bass tip.We also intend to put up here the other genres we are involved with so look out for M.A.N.(sometimes listed on vinyl as Man) which is more tekk/trance. and ILLUMINATED EGG which is more Dubby and alternative, for after party listening..For more info about our vinyl release history listing all of the records we have produced on our own label, BOMM Records uk( now shutdown) and of all compilation tracks released on various cd's and vinyl.please visit www.Discogs.com a internet music database, (just type in Bomm in the search engine). Our music is all apparently rather collectable now, and in fact our one and only album entitled Know Thyself (cd only) recently changed hands for 124 dollars on Ebay, with a glowing review from Goa gil, which helped im sure. we ( Ack and Nik) are still engaged in music production,but have branched into many different areas and influences, and as far as we are concerned,all music can be psychedelic and not just trance, at the present we have shutdown our studio just for a short while, whilst i ( Nik) try to make a home in spain, also ive just become a new dad at 41. But we have not stopped our mutual desire to keep producing dance music. And the town in spain where Nik is trying to relocate to is the place where europe has the biggest free festival, called the Dragon Festival with many sound systems from around europe playing all kinds of electronic music, it also has many different musicians from everywhere and artists etc, it has a good energy, and many old goa bods have made their way there, to visit, or to live, which is always a good sign, on this site we have tried to put up a various collection of our different styles, (both old and new) so as to demonstrate how varied our music is, please keep checking back from time to time to hear new songs etc and we intend to rotate the songs, so as to keep them fresh.We would also like to thank a new friend Andrzej from Psyop who has helped us clear up wrong info about our music history on the net etc also we wanna say hi to a Dj from Barcelona called sergio, who along with a group of 20 or so Dj friends are keeping the spirit of Bomm Records alive with their various music nights playing our old 12 inches, which they love, and which they call Old skool.so Gracias amigoes.enjoy..

Take it outside Godboy ( A Favourite voice sample from the simpsons) We love to get old sci fi tv themes and revamp them, ones we have done include Captain scarlet(Drum and bass style) and also wonderwoman in a funky rare groove lick, some of which we may put up here. And also influenced by psychedelic breakfast cereal. We love it all, and it all loves us.
