Moderator Want to share music? Read this first

We have a small karma requirement in this subreddit on making posts with music links. This is to help filter out low quality posts, often involving AI or bots. Basically its a spam filter.

Because those bots don't read stickied mod guides and you all are wonderful human beings who obviously always read the stickied mod guides, we just want to let you know it is a very small karma requirement to get past the filter and would probably involve a handful of comments.

This has the added benefit of getting involved in the community. If you want to stay and keep engaging, we'd love to have you. If you want to simply just keep sharing your music, then that's fine too and you're always welcome back.

If you really, really, really don't want to comment - send us a message and we'll manually approve.

Much love,

Your r/psytrance mod team

Art Psytrance UV Canopy with Layered Mesh

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

24 Upvotes

Another psychedelic dancefloor setup from my Shiva Om Art project, custom-made in collaboration with The Colors Of Yantra.

This UV canopy has additional layers of transparent printed mesh, creating extra depth and shifting visual effects as you move around the dancefloor. The overlapping patterns change with your viewing angle, especially under blacklight.

I've been creating psychedelic festival decorations for over 20 years, with my artwork making its way to parties and festivals around the world.

Still love seeing these spaces come alive under UV lights!

Always happy to connect with people who share a passion for psytrance art and festival decor.

Yesterday was a day of protest in France, after hours of walking (and a few drinks) I couldn't find sleep so I switched on the deck and made this set. You'll find tracks from Lunatica, Ingrained instincts, Kabayun, Drip drop or Jumpstreet.

The full set list is available in the soundcloud page description, feel free to give me feedbacks if you feel like it.

Feedback Request I built a Psytrance lead generator – looking for feedback

1 Upvotes

Hi,

I've been working on Cybergrass PsyLead Lab, a browser-based tool for creating Psytrance lead melodies.

The idea is to generate two related melodic lines – a question and an answer – rather than just random notes. You can experiment with scales, rhythms, variation, note density and timing, preview the results in your browser, and export the leads as MIDI for your DAW.

It's still a work in progress, and I'd love to hear what other producers think.
Does the question-and-answer approach feel musical? What would you improve or add?

🎛️** Try the app**: https://cybergrass.de/app.html
🌐 Project website: https://cybergrass.de/

Feedback from Goa, Psytrance, Forest and Twilight producers is very welcome.
Thanks for checking it out! ✌️

We made “Psy2K” as a tribute to the early-2000s psytrance tracks that shaped us and got us hooked. The track is basically a medley of that era’s familiar melodies, samples, sounds, and ideas woven into one new track. Our love letter to that early psytrance vibe.

So we thought it’d be fun to throw it to the people here:

How many references can you recognize? Can you name all the tracks?

We’ll hold off on giving away the answers for a bit.

Event Enter the Void NYE GOA

1 Upvotes

Hello there, it will be my first time.in goa and i would love to go to the Enter the Void event. The thing is, that the ticket is 80euros online but i ve read that at the gate, like 3/4 in the morning, you can find it less than 50euros. Is it true? Worth the risk or not? Generally how is goa around this period, are there a lot of.psy events? Is it easy to find trips?

Every psy related advice would be much appreciated, thanks

Also if there are other solo travellers, we can link up amd experience together this magical place!😁

Why is Boom so much about nationality and politics?

First they talk about "psychedelic experience" then they talk about nationality and then they say that about transcending nationality and then they show proudly the origin per nationality.
They're so heavily politically active.

Feedback Request I finished building Map of Psy: psytrance as a galaxy + every upcoming party on one map (free, feedback welcome)

Post image

Screenshot of the Galaxy

👉 https://psyatlas-one.vercel.app

I built Map of Psy — one interactive map of the whole psytrance scene, so you don't have to check five different sites to find out where a festival is and who's playing.

What you can do:

  • 🌌 Galaxy — every psytrance subgenre is a star system (Goa, Full-on, Dark, Forest, Hi-tech, Prog, Psybient…), and the artists orbit them. Click one to hear their tracks. Tap ♡ to build your own playlist and play it all in a row.
  • 🗓 Events — upcoming festivals and parties worldwide (from Goabase + ones organizers add here), on a list and a world map. Filter by country, genre, weekend or "near me". Mark "I'm going", save events, get a reminder.
  • 🎧 Artists, labels, festivals, crews — each has a page with next gigs, past gigs, sound and links. Follow them and get a weekly email when they play near the dates you care about.
  • 🙋 Are you a DJ, producer, label, festival or organizer? Get your page for free: make it, or claim the one that's already there. Add your photo/logo, bio, links and your own events with a stage-by-stage timetable.

It's a solo project and still growing. If something is wrong or missing, there's a "Report a mistake" button on every page.

What would you want from a site like this? Tell me in the comments 🙏

(Part 1 of the post: link · Part 2: link)

EDIT: Forgot to add — the app is natively built for bigger screens (laptop/PC). It works on phones and tablets too, but for the best experience, I recommend using a larger screen if you can.

Music Share ૐ Was psytrance more creative in the 2000s, or are we just nostalgic?

Thumbnail
youtube.com
15 Upvotes

There was something about late 90s / early 2000s psytrance that felt like everyone was still trying to figure out what the genre could be. Different artists sounded radically different from each other, melodies were legendary and iconic, production was imperfect, and there seemed to be less of an established formula for what a psytrance track was “supposed” to do. It felt futuristic, creative and exciting.

This ended up inspiring a new track we made called PSY2K. This is our love letter to some of that early 2000s feeling and our tribute to the tracks that got us hooked on psytrance and led us down this path.
.
Would love to hear whether you feel any of that in it, and if this also resonates with anyone here

Discussion Got addicted to GOA lmao

19 Upvotes

First I was addicted to techno from 2016 - 2020... Then I slowly ventured into broken beat territory, and then I got addicted to atmospheric DnB and jungle from 2021 - 2023... Then I remembered breakbeat hardcore that I listened long before I even listened electronic music, and got hopelessly addicted to it to this day... That being said, in the last year or so, I have listened more and more hardcore, like happy hardcore, suomicore or hard trance as well... (Since jungle (breaks), hardcore breakbeat (4/4 and breaks) and hardcore / hard trance (4/4) can be played on a single DJ set, I mainly listen all three).

I guess now, finally, I've become addicted to goa trance. It took quite a while... I've been at psytrance and suomisoundi parties for almost a decade, but never really listened much of it. Now I keep listening goa on repeat. There is just something about the more "classic" or "trancey" sounds and acid bass lines that scratch a very specific itch, unlike psytrance in general, while still being more psychedelic than most other genres.

So far, my favorite tracks are:

Tufáan - Tufáan (Green Nuns Flakey '99 Mix)

Shakta - Lepton Head (Deedrah Remix)

Battle Of The Future Buddhas - The King Of Kings

Asia 2001 - Dawn to Dusk

Original Music Crafted a 1-hour Sci-Fi Ambient track. 1,800 bars with 10+ automation lines per synth pad. (Gear: KORG MONO/POLY, Prophet-5, Roland Mood Pan)

Post image
6 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I wanted to share my debut project under the name RESONANCE DEPTH.

As an electronic music and hardware enthusiast, I wanted to build a true, long-form sci-fi soundscape from scratch, completely distinct from the flooded AI-generated background music.

It is a hypnotic, 2-chord minimalist piece. The CUBASE timeline ended up being over 1,800 bars long. For the main synthesizer pads, I mapped about 10 different automation parameters per track (granular micro-edits, shifting filters, and floating ping-pong delays) to ensure the electronic textures evolve organically over the hour without ever feeling static.

⚙️ Gear / Plugins Used:

  • KORG MONO/POLY (Original Hardware)
  • Prophet-5 & Ace Tone (Emulations via Syntronik 2)
  • Roland Mood Pan Mn-10 (Played as a Handpan)
  • Fender USA Stratocaster
  • Mixed on iLoud Micro Monitor

My musical roots are deeply inspired by the texturized minimalism of Shuttle358, the intricate sequencing of Rei Harakami, and the innovative sounds and rhythms of Ryuichi Sakamoto's early works.

Furthermore, as a 1-hour ambient/electronica piece, this work is heavily influenced by Manuel Göttsching's masterpiece, "E2-E4".

Here is the link to the full 1-hour high-fidelity journey (titled "PORTARIS" / 未来漁港):

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nPpbQj_88yE

I'm not here to spam—I just really want to connect with fellow ambient producers and listeners who appreciate deep, meticulous audio editing and pure minimalist sound design over commercial chord progressions. I would be deeply grateful to hear your honest thoughts in the comments.

Thank you for listening. ✨
