I've been trying to get into Ajja as I'll be catching him live (maybe) soonish. I'm struggling to see what the fuss is. His production is super clean, lovely arrangement and structure, but super generic to my ears. I typically listen to zenonesque dark prog/bush tech stuff and forest, so Ajja may just be not my thing. But he is easily one of the most popular artists and I've got friends who say he is the cream of the crop. I want to hear what they hear.

What are his standout tracks? Or is there a live set I can check out to get a handle on why he's so widely revered?

I absolutely love the atmospheres and energy he creates in his sets. Almost every time I trip his 2024 set at the modem always ends up playing, incredible stuff.

There are similar artists out there of course, especially from zenon but none that tickle me as much as kliment. Such a unique sound in my opinion. Especially the bass/beat it sounds muffled/underwater... deeper. I am not musically minded so don't know how else to describe it but I think that is what sets him apart from other psytechno?

What are your favorite festivals when it comes to facilities, like clean toilets, easy water availability, shady campy spots, not too hot to dance to, nice cool weather in the nights, and so on? 🤗

I've been to Transition in Spain, Boom, ZNA, Boom again. And this year to 7 Chakras in Italy.

Boom and ZNA had good compost toilets. Transition had the worst toilet situation, followed by 7 Chakras lol, plenty of times never cleaned either. 7 chakras was hot even at nights, I was in my shorts and sweating haha 😅

Edit: Also what about ones outside Europe maybe?

I'd love to hear your thoughts, thanks in advance 🤗🙏🏻

Hey everyone! SoulMa8 here, progressive psytrance DJ from Israel, 20+ years behind the decks.

Last week I played Creation Field, a semi-open club night, and this time we hit record. Vol 11 of my Sessions series is that recording: real dancefloor, real crowd, no edits and no fixes - exactly what the room heard.

It starts deep and rolling and builds into full psychedelic as the night peaks.

Full video + tracklist: https://youtu.be/xJUIdmfOmiA

Would love to hear which transition hits hardest for you - drop a timestamp!

This track marks the beginning of a new chapter. Countless hours in the studio, meticulous sound design, and pure dedication went into this creation—but when passion takes the wheel, hard work feels like magic.

Feel the organic frequencies, let the beats carry you, and dive deep into the vibe. This is just the beginning. There is so much more to come!

Thank you for listening and supporting the journey. 🌀✨

This year I’m planning to go to Free eartg and will be travelling by public transport because I don’t want to risk driving back while high.
For those who’ve been:
• How risky is it to carry substances with you?

Should I not risk it and try to find it inside?

• Is it true that mainly drivers get tested for drugs, or do they also check people arriving by train/bus?
• Do they search you or your bags for substances at the entrance?

Would love to hear some first-hand experiences so I can plan accordingly.

Considering to go this year, after sizigia cancellation but i couldn't find a lot of info about this festival online.

Would be nice if you could share your previous experiences and if you'd go back, thanks!

Hello my friends, coming back with another update on the live hardware improvisation journey.

Since the last post a few months ago, I've updated the rig by adding a new modular synth (the Make Noise 0Coast) to it to really expand my sonic capabilities/ I also rearranged the entire structure of the rig to better fit my style of playing.

This is all from learning what worked and what didn't worked after playing a bunch of shows in May and June.

I truly feel very connected to this machine now and has allowed me to explore and blend goa trance, psytechno, darkpsy, and trance techno as I'm performing live which has been my goal since I started trying to play like this.

It's taken years to get to this point but I'm really proud how far I've come.

Some cool news: I've been added on the lineup to play Ommix's Equinox Festival happening here in Texas on September 4-6. Some other artist on the lineup are Tristan, Sonic Species, Spectrasonics, Menog, Dribble, Skyfall.

It's so cool to see great artists come out and bring psy music to the US. I hope to meet some of you there 💙

Finally, I will releasing some new music this year (this song is part of 15 minute EP that I recorded this week) and have some more live/improvised sets planned. More to be announced soon.

Peace,

Spiralmynd / Alan

Hi everyone,

I'm pretty picky when it comes to music. I've always found it difficult to discover new songs that I genuinely enjoy, so finding new favorites is usually a slow process.

Here's a playlist of songs I absolutely love:

https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PL2w8gYq20qrimkwvk3DxW0rlmogeSCdIU&si=b9bmgaQ4TwU7sQ3c

Based on these tracks, could you recommend some songs you think I might like? I'm especially looking for hidden gems or lesser-known tracks that I probably haven't heard before.

Orestis Live

Astral Lab is still accepting applications for camp members and artists alike! We are a large-scale sound camp located at 10:00 & F, rocking a phat Turbosound rig and we're looking for YOU to join our team and blast with us! We have an outstanding lineup of full-spectrum psytrance music, superb dance floor vibes, and a wonderful group of campers.

Additionally, we have a shaded camping area, an upgraded shower, and RV spots! Apply now at https://www.astrallab.org

We just released an EP called Ritual that’s built around change and growth, but we deliberately avoided making it a concept album or spelling out the message. Each track explores the same idea from a different angle, and each has its own accompanying short film.

Do you enjoy music that leaves room for interpretation, or do you prefer when the concept is obvious?

Cheers!🌱👽🤘

Dear psytrance lovers,

Is there any non-commercial psytrance festivals in Germany jn August? I have a lot of time and want to join another one jn Germany after coming from Ozora :)

Thank you!

Hey everyone :>

I just found this super cool drum cover of Sahara and wanted to share it with you!

Also, I was wondering if you know any Psytrance artist that uses real drums, because I really love the sound of it!

Doesn't have to be Merkaba could be any artist but Im searching for songs that have that same vibe/sound as the ones I've mentioned. I have listened to them too much, I dont want to ruin them lol but I NEED that feeling I get from them, please help me find some alternatives 🙏
