Psychedelic Trance

Psychedelic trance or psytrance is an intensely trippy electronic dance genre whose ferocious hypnotic/metronomic beat, synthetic and organic rhythms, and mesmerising melodies send dancers surging and stomping through interdimensional portals fringed with swirling sonic filigrees and creepy lurker-at-the-threshold samples. Drawing from influences as varied as the spiritual traditions of Goa, the psychedelia of the 1950s and 60s, and the electronic dance scenes of the 1990s, the psytrance community is a beautifully bizarre convergence of hippie culture and its shinier, furrier cousin, the rave scene. The former is manifested in the community’s homage to Hindu and Buddhist culture, psychedelic art, and awareness of preserving the earth, while the latter is seen in its ultraviolet-reactive decorations, marathon dance parties, and futuristic aesthetic - a unique binary that sets psytrance apart from other counterculture or underground electronic music scenes. Like all good things in life, psytrance is better experienced than explained: Open your data socket, sacred flying objects about to bop it- conscious mind rewinds auditory physical splines and impossible probabilities graphed in invisible multidimensional artchitecture dripping up into your visions from the past....!

Converge in this sacred space of time to forge cultural ecosystems of sound systems, performances art, interactive sculptures, and permaculture structures, and fuse our cognitive genetics together in divine shamanic bliss!

"When thousands and thousands of people around the earth are celebrating, singing, dancing, ecstatic, drunk with the divine, there is no possibility of any global suicide. With such festivity and with such laughter, with such sanity and health, with such naturalness and spontaneity, how can there be a war? Life has been given to you to create, and to rejoice, and to celebrate." (osho)
