Googana

Ever since Krisztian Meszaros turned 13 music has been the most important thing in his life. From 14-16 this love of music was manifested in him playing guitar in a nu-metal and punk band. It was only after a few years of playing punk that he was to become enchanted with electronic music. It was first of all drum and bass that he discovered. This discovery quickly branched-out into ever-diversifying interests in breakbeat, and minimal music. However, it was in 2003 by a complete coincidence that he came across the music that he was to specialise in: psytrance.
Exploring the textures of psytrance, and the associated party culture, became his prominent interest as a musician. By 2004, Krisztian had started DJing psytrance and chill-out from cds; in the same year, Googana started to play at parties. Meanwhile, he was also performing at some smaller chill-out nights in a number of cafés in Szekszard, Hungary – his hometown. Having begun to establish himself as a DJ, in 2005 he played in the second room of the Toreshatar Crew partys which was also held in Szekszard. In the same year he performed at a psytrance party in Hungary’s capital city, Budapest – at the well-known Kashmir club. Other performances in 2005 included a smaller psytrance festival in Majs called Ring of fire.
In 2006, Krisztian moved to Pecs. The move to Pecs came with a move in musical direction. Alongside psytrance, he started to develop his skills as a minimal/prog-tech DJ – playing from vinyl. This interest in minimal took-over from the chill-out stuff he had been doing until then. Whilst in Pecs, he performed at several psytrance and minimal parties.
Spurred-on by his success, 2007 and 2008 saw him begin to organise his own psytrance parties, both in the Hard Rak Cafe(2007) and in the Szeszgyar(2008), in Pecs. As a curator, Krisztian arranged for many well-established artists to perform at these parties. Acts included: Green Cosmos (PsyTropic Records), Y-east (Cosmogenesis Recordings, Polena Records, Dinsha Prana Records), Mindflow (Zaikadelic Records, Parvati Records), Deto (Psylife/Halu Beats Records). In 2008, he also played at the ICWIP festival in Pecs and at a range of other minimal gigs. In addition to his performances and work as a curator, he was given a weekly 1 hour session on Periszkop Radio. This gave him a chance to showcase the kind of mixes he had been working on, and establish himself as an artist. However, this was only to last for 2 months, because midway through 2008 he moved to Leeds before eventually settling in London.
In Leeds Krisztian became good friends with Will Law, aka Seamless (Beatherder Festival, Modulate FM, BQuiet Recordings, On the Rocks Records). Law and Googana began to work together on Law's old Subconscious project: a project focused on deep/minimal/prog/tech music oriented towards parties organised in York. Under the Subconscious name, they performed at 3 parties in London, between July 2009 and February 2010.
This move to London has been an essential part of Krisztian's growth as an artist. Furthermore, in autumn of 2010 Krisztian successfully completed a course at Pointblank called Introduction into Music Production: Logic Pro 9. Now that he has the technical proficiency and skill he has started to produce his own music too, in addition to mixes. He is currently looking forward to performing as a resident dj on Modulate FM(http://modulatefm.com/). Googana's Party Prescription on Modulate FM is Fridays from 7-9pm 4 weekly.
With an extensive performance history, and equipped with an abundance of passion and skills, Krisztian Meszaros excitedly anticipating the development of his musical career. He can't wait to see what the future brings…
