Etnica are DJ Max Lanfranconi, Carlo Paterno, Maurizio Begotti, and Andrea Rizzo. They are a well known, even considered legendary by some, Goa trance project from Italy. Max Lanfranconi, Maurizio Begotti, Carlo Paterno and Andrea Rizzo met during various parties in Italy at the end of the 1980s. Max, the band leader, was a DJ at the time and had already released two singles in the mid-80's on an independent Italian label. As for Andrea, he had a solid musical background. Combined with the melodies of Carlo and Maurizio's sense of arrangement, all would soon lead to the production of some of the most celebrated electronic compositions. The first one was published on Brainstorm label in 1995, and was titled Big Storm in Chapora Fort. The first album, The Juggling Alchemist Under the Blacklight, was out the same year on the German label High Society. This helped the band build a solid reputation in the Psychedelic trance scene. Th
