Started — in 1995 in israel acid raves Met a promoter while in the military house DJ twisted bar in tel aviv to warm for Simon Posford,.

The bar was named after twisted records in 1997. Became the resident there for all twisted records in records. (military this was 95-98) then traveled to europe (typical) and stayed.. Ended up staying there.

Alex Tolstey is a kids nickname… https://www.residentadvisor.net/dj/alextolstey

Started playing at big parties in europe in 98: spain, barcelona, boom, played at second boom. Was invited to play in montreal (alien earth activitye’99) and toronto (look up biggest clubs of the time, https://www.residentadvisor.net/features/1310), Idea of mixing all kinds of electronic Midimilitz (aka extrawelt it came before extrawelt (was trance, became techno) & synchro This is how tech-trance was born

Ber Mitchell promoter of alien earth activity (and Alex Tolstey) started boshke beats records. Why boshke beats: …

Why boshke beats: music was changing quickly (1999 progressive trance, psychedelic movement was very active… psy trance+techno fusion…

First famous sign was ..Paste (2001).. Brand new music!!! Summer 99, in hamburg, that time was the epicenter of most advanced electronic music

DAT tapes were brought to Alex on the same day: midimilitz (sounded like x-dream), sonkite (wow)... These were the biggest psy trance acts to turn techno !!! that became minilogue/extrawelt

1996- Elmshorn, germany .. (xdream, delta, midi, planet ben,) all came from this “village”, elmshorn sound is the landmark of trance and techno…

2001 signed midimilitz, 2002 released single “no exit/aero-mode” was followed by album “passages” the hallmark of the project (midimilitz)

In 2002 boshke beats became a household name and was known at the BOOM FESTIVAL: (look up who else played there).

2004 signed x-dream (released the first… sold in 3 days, top charts, etc., was played by all the bid DJ Lauren Garnier is the biggest. This track was added to his compilation 25 years of Mix Mag, compiled and mixed by him…(add all the members, including underworld)), delta (marcus from x-dream, dark heavy industrial influence).

Was playing all over the world from japan to canada —- Got to japan by playing at Labirinth 1: James Monro, midi, sonkite… Boshke got really big in Japan.. . cultural fit for the japanese culture, the music was deep, with lots to explore. From oakenfold to cosmosis, the crown chose boshke for its complexity (from 2002 - present, boshke beats is always in the top of techno/psytrance charts in japan).

2005 metalogic (produced and executed the whole).

2006 fuzzion (vladimir kozlov) (black magic) second biggest release of BB, was sold to warner music japan … starfall … anton kubikov (most famous russian DJ) … parasense .. xp-woodoo, tolsty did fuzzion, one did goa, tolsty did europe… 1999 Brown eyes girl (fuzzion) was sold to TIP record.

Many music acts at the time died since sales of physical records went down due MP-3 revolution.

Jurik, paul brichich, (check discogs, Became so big that Boshke Beats was one of the first on beatport, Two whole generations of partygoers grew up on Boshke Beats, including eitan reiter, ace ventura…. To them boshke beats, was like hallucinogen, juno reactor, man with no name, xdream to Alex.

Acid-Black came up as a x-dream remix release… came very late… it all came back, the full influence is still psy-trance…

2002 horns and hoofs, peopel sent demos to boshke beats - cd-r’s, so created a sublabel.

GMS came up with a formula, and everyone started following them. Boshke beats didn’t like this music, and went looking for something… hamburg record shop changed his life.. Psychedelic techno… Paul brtschitsch, Johannes Heil, heiko laux, Adam beyer, Richard Bartz, Christian morgenstern, Anthony rother, Ricardo Villalobos, 30-40 people in Zurich… Ellen Alien, Paul Karlbrenner, Micheal Mayer,

Boshke Beats produces timeless music…

Since between trance/techno mix (offshore), never made it to the big clubs… richie hawtin, sven vath, (look through boshke beats archives….)

Music publishing resource … germany/england

Border community (james holden)...

Psy trance was released by HardHouse (sven vath) KOXBOX… Sven vath goa/ hippies / was not allowed anymore, because he had interest in a variety of music, not just goa trance. So he told the media to stop writing about them.

Now extrawelt is signed onto boshke beats …

1996- Elmshorn, germany .. (xdream, delta, midi, planet ben,) all came from this “village”, elmshorn sound is the landmark of trance and techno...

Chronika… core boshke artists (midi, the delta, spiral kinder, authentik, fuzzion, metalogic, 2002 first compilation… at the time alex became the executive producer for all these acts. Played with them, helped release their music, coordinated with other big labels TIP records, Tatsu label from D-Nox. Alex sold music to D-Nox,  he drove the production of his artists to various labels.

Fill out the rest of Chronika’s

Big section on X-dream remixes: Manager of TIP records came to Alex in spain, came for a bbq and started listening old trance records… Alex suggested remixes of … in 2006, called Simon, and he did Spongle Remix.

A month later, TIP lost money, and stopped, until 2016 met with Martin (man with no name). Called back to TIP (Raja Rama) and then the rest joined. X-DREAM/juno reactor/hallucinogen…

completely own X-dream - nina kravitz (plays it) — made rave music — X-dream released first 2 albums on tunnel records, paul van dyke type thing, then accidentally together at simon’s studio… made first track on the computer (stimulator…) 1997.

Still wants to release vinyl of X-dream …

Albums [radio/we create our own happiness] - wants to remaster - Marcus needs to do it. come up with a way to do a podcast with Tolsty and Marcus

What is the difference between trance and techno? Unknown!

Best recipe for the dance floor (a bit for everyone) ...

2004 mathew jonson, james holden, stephan bodzin, no progressing anywhere…

Becoming commercial kill ingenuity … cobble stone jazz was awesome, — turns into pop.. 2010-2017 music was slow and boshke beats didn’t release much …

Psychedelic factor!!!!! - doesn’t matter if techno/trance/electro Herbie hancock (album dedication) … hubo / total improvisation

Theory of psy-brain-hallucination: Experience formation from childhood - first impressions is what forms the signature of the musician, most emotional connect - child’s innocence … no reservations … when noone is looking, the truth comes out.

New acts came up in 2018, prometheus was the only one who made anything interesting. Music creates emotional connections, restores the link between then and now, it is the ratatouille moment!!!!

Jon Hopkins - Domino seems like he was inspired by Extrawelt, released on alternative underground records.

Need to make a podcast … {-|-} Richie Hawtin …

Boshke Beats 20 years —— psychedelic factor — — compilation album — 1K per track

extrawelt/minilogue/mathew jonson/jon hopkins/captain hook/eitan reiter/nina kravitz/simon posford/ the sound changes but the emotion doesn’t !!!!
