oh man do i love to see psytrance pop up on HN! opened this while wearing my Shpongle hoodie from 2006, hah! i've been hooked ever since i first heard Astral Projection in the early 00's, though i stopped listening as much when full-on took over, when IM "sold out", when the music became a little lifeless for lack of better wording. there is only one other genre of music that gives me the same feelings of freedom, exploration, and adventure as psytrance: jam bands like the Dead, Phish, etc. which isn't strange if you think about the history of goa/psytrance, where such psychedelic rock was spun for the hippies before this other-worldy beep boop stuff was created. reckon it all comes from the same source, cut from the same cloth. i miss isratrance. psyshop. i miss going to shows in the forest for a weekend and the freedom of it all. walk around naked if you want, it's nothing but love! i'm going to share some artists and songs that i haven't seen listed yet from some other sub-genres of this weird music: - Psykovsky (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=onYzuQUmQzo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=onYzuQUmQzo) caution: this one is relentless! - Eat Static (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JzCjkXiVAdM https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JzCjkXiVAdM) - Planet B.E.N (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BadJg0pBwU0 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BadJg0pBwU0) - Hux Flux (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sIO9DFmAOYs https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sIO9DFmAOYs) - Derango (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Fw7meaL83Q https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Fw7meaL83Q) - Etnica (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A47EaYXcgnk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A47EaYXcgnk) - The Antidote (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DUf6aYUW3H4 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DUf6aYUW3H4) ... man this post sent me back to high school. thank you for the nostalgia trip! i really wish the parties near me were still happening. when isratrance died i lost touch with the scene. everyone moved to facebook. i really, really miss it. i had a lot of fun collaborating with folks on isra, bouncing project files and stems back and forth. especially the swedes, those crazy forest folks :) reckon this winter i should dust off the gear. take care HN & much love.
