Yep I mix, mostly psy/goa and a bit of ambient. All i really want to do is to expose as many people as possible to this mind bending music, and DJing is the best way to do it. I don't have a lot of creativity so producing is too hard (though I'd like to get good at it!), which is why i enjoy DJing because it relies on talent, not creativity. I never seem to get sick of spinning because there's always newer, more intense, more tripped out psy that keeps getting released.

I think you're wrong about dogs spinning :P. Dogs have no musical talent at all. I think you'd have a lot more luck training a budgie. Have you ever noticed that they will head bang to trance/techno if they like it? And they can already whistle. Heh, they probably have a better sense of rhythm than any feeble human DJ.

I sometimes play psy... Not much really coz I don't have much opportunities and it's so much fun spinning to music than playing it.. But sometimes when I'm needed I play..: )

Smile.. It confuses people..:)

likewise i've started trying to mix psytrance and ambient mp3's for fun lately although i wouldn't call myself a dj. i think with a lot of dance music you get more out of it when you start thinking about how tunes work from a DJ's perspective...

I'll have to ask Hugo (cant remember what his login name is on here) if I can pass on some of his really twisted filtered psy trance. I think you'd like all like it.

He likes bizzarre samples. He's even made a tune out of the sound of peeling tape off a table
