Psytrance

Psytrance, short for psychedelic trance, is a genre of electronic dance music characterized by hypnotic rhythms, complex layered melodies, and vibrant, shifting sounds that evoke a sense of mystical or spiritual experience. It typically features a steady tempo around 140-150 BPM, with psychedelic-inspired sonic textures created through innovative sound design, effects, and electronic instrumentation. Originating in the late 1980s in Goa, India, psytrance aims to immerse listeners in an energetic, mind-expanding journey, often associated with festival culture and communal dance experiences. It blends deep basslines with intricate melodies, fostering a trance-like state.
