well here in switzerland, the psy scene is pretty big. every weekend all summer long more than 5/6 festivals. started listening to psy 6 or 7 years ago.

for my personal taste:

Avalon feat. Cosmosis - Destiny Awaits (loving this style for gaming or driving a bit faster - pretty straightforward progressive buildup, not much variation, more into details, hypnotic)

Headroom - Artelligent
Rinkadink - Dad's Power Song
Rinkadink - Basshead
(for partys i prefer more an aggressive southafrican fullon style, more raisers, faster build ups, that change often)

Neelix is for sure one of my recent favourites! He/they remixed Galaxy Traveler by Felguk, then there is another fun song called Taxi Driver. I think it is classified as prog psytrance (if we're getting picky) but i'm a hardcore goa/psy fan and its great enough for me.

I'm suprised to see no mention of 1200Mics yet! They have some trippy psytrance

i happened to find some website just now called psymania.com but have never been so can't recommend it as supremium quality, but it mayyyy be good :D

this thread...was a really good idea at the time %)

Edit: a lot of glovers/lightshows are set to trance or house...man Psytrance lightshows really zone me in tho! It can be a lil intense for the viewer especially with my hot colors and red Freedoms !!

A little bit too much infected mushroom in this thread for my tastes. Like everyone else, I love all the classics: Shpongle, 1200 mics, Hallucinogen, Shulman, etc.

I think psytrance is at its peak when creative people mix it with elements of other genres to form transcendent, meaningful tracks with more interesting rhythms(this is where most Infected Mushroom fails). No one has linked any Younger Brother yet so:





The only thing that annoys me is a lot of these people don't make more live material available. I saw one of the Shpongle DJ sets in NYC this spring and the second set he played as Hallucinogen was really some of the best psychedelic music I've had the privilege of listening to.

ok gonna stop now or I end up breaking the thread .. I could easily add in another 100 tracks but these are some of my all time favorites.


Or you could just do this, like OP suggested in bold and caps lock. But thats just my 2 cents...

themixingbowl.org is a great site for live mixes. Not psy in particular tho, but they have some mixes by hallucinogen, MWWN, etc etc. Its free and legit. A frequent problem is that some of the live mixes have mediocre sound quality. So if you're audiophile you might be disappointed.

Also, if you go ~15 names down you will find Ott's live at Gnomelandia mix here. Its really good.

BTW OP, the definition of full-on is abit misleading and i dont think the examples represent the style. Here's better definition from wiki:
+ Show Spoiler +
Full on is a form of psychedelic trance that originated in Israel during the late 1990s. The expression “full on” is taken from the first out of a seven compilation albums series[4] and the first album ever to be released under Hom-mega Productions in 1998, titled Full On. Other sources say it comes from the "Full" "moon" festival's name, whilst others argue that it is derived from a phrase widely used to describe particularly high-energy music ("That tune is really full-on!"). It may also refer to the drug use sometimes witnessed ("full-on drugs") on the festivals, as this music is regarded "pushier" than other psytrance styles, thus more exhausting to dance to and the requirement of bodily stimulating drugs is more apparent. Full on usually has higher bpm than other psytrance.

The most easily recognizable element of full-on psy-trance is the so-called "rolling" bassline, which crams two or three short bass notes in between each hit of the 4/4 drum.

Some commercial morning artists associated with the following style:Sesto Sento, Gataka, 1200 Micrograms, Astrix, 40%, and Vibe Tribe.

Some Full On Record labels: PsyShark, Phantasm Records, Hommega, B.N.E, and many more.

And here's a picture with different substyles and important releases (AFAIK this was made by one of the wonderful guys at Suntrip records label, who are responsible for the "second coming of goa trance," but im not 100% sure):

Great post, jormando!

I do believe you're right, that picture was made by Suntrip's Anoebis. As you probably well know, Suntrip Records is a Belgian label and Anoebis seems to play at virtually every goa trance party in the country, haha.
Suntrip is great for the Belgian goa community, regularly getting Ra, Khetzal, Filteria, Merr0w etc to perform here, as well as for the goa community in general, by being one of the very few labels to still produce goa trance, like you indicated.

What are the interests of the Finnish psy/goa community like? Do you guys have a lot of goa trance parties or is it just suomi trance pretty much all the time?

Im prolly wrong person to answer this, since im abit too old and lazy for going parties, but from what ive seen: parties are very rare and favor too much Suomisoundi for my taste (cant stand it, at all), also i live long way in north from capital city, so mehh.. Maybe some other Finnish person knows better?

When i wrote the OP it wasn't meant to be an unbiased history of every psy genre. More a quick look at what the subgenres might sound like, etc. Gonna leave it as is, but i'll OP the flowchart.

Yeah, wont hold it against you. I just think its abit unfair to catogorize all full-on as "poppy shit," while theres plenty of different kinds of full-on as well as plenty of poppy shit from artists who used to do psy/goa which isnt full-on at all (all IM releases after BP Empire for example).

Ye, but it wasn't intended to say that all full on was poppy either. I remembered this vid and couldnt help myself ^^. I mean i also enjoy 1200 mics and stuff like that, but its a fine line between good full on and the most horrible stuff you've ever heard. ^^

I used to really like psy a lot back in the late 90ies when I was in high school: early Infected Mushroom, Astral Projection, etc etc. However it seems to be that since the decade had changed, there were no longer any real prominent artists releasing actual full blown albums worth listening to.

Yeah, sure, there are tons and tons of individual tracks released since then that are ridiculously awesome, but then I look up the artist and realize he just happens to have 1-2 good tracks total and all the rest is complete garbage. The fact that psy bands these days don't seem to actually release actual albums, but instead release singles and EPs doesn't help at all.

I want to be able to see a name I recognize, see them come out with a big new album and know for sure that at least half of the stuff on the album is going to be great. Right now looking for good long albums is just so hopeless and takes so much time that I simply can't be bothered.

I feel like I have found my brothers and sisters.

Trance/psy/goa and demoscene electronic music is what I listen to the most 15+ years after I first hear about this kind of music.

I still have 20 or more cd's from TIP ect. in a box.

Its not that I hate normal rock/heavy ect, but what really makes electronic music better for me is the layers and the variations of sounds, and how they are made. I rarely think much about what genre a track is, if I like it I like it.

I think the demoscene and electronic music is linked together very closely and the big boom in free tracker music software on the old computers. (yay C64 and amiga )

Here are two cool demoscene tracks, where the visuel part if running realtime on a computer next to the music.:




dub track Haujobb - Prototype1 [Amiga]

Goa track in loopit - sonoluminescene

Only thing I know is that I know nothing.

I got introduced to the finnish Psy-trance scene yesterday. Went to a small trance festival for the first time and afterwards to some really obscure afterparty under a bridge. Met some really nice people and enjoyed the music a lot. Now I just need to download some psy-trance to my phone .
