In the intricate tapestry of trance music evolution, Goa Trance stands as the visionary precursor to Psytrance, surfacing throughout the 1980s. With an unwavering commitment to its essence, Goa Trance maintains the hallmarks of structures, groove, rapid arpeggios, and a brisk tempo ranging from 130 to 150 BPM, setting it apart as a distinctive force within the trance landscape.

Born amidst the vibrant energy of Goa, India—an epicenter for the psychedelic culture—this genre finds its roots intertwined with the transcendental threads of the Psychedelia movement, once focalized around the formidable Psychedelic Rock. The result is a symphony of extended tracks, intricate melodies, and distortion effects, crafting a sonic experience that mirrors and amplifies the exploration of altered states induced by psychedelic substances.

Much like its psychedelic brethren, Goa Trance becomes a conduit for a cosmic journey, resonating with extended instrumentation and oriental melodies inspired by the rich tapestry of South Asian Music. One cannot overlook the profound influence of Goa Trance—a timeless chapter etched in the pulsating heart of trance music history.

I've curated these tracks for a transcendental odyssey through the realms of psychedelic trance. Let them guide you into the present moment, elevating your body's vibration with this exquisite tunes.

Ever-present, my love and respect resonate with all those immersed in the world of Electronic Music.

Thank you.
