What is Psytrance?
By Alan More
Psytrance is a subgenre of trance music built on layered melodies over driving rhythmic arrangements.[1] It evolved out of the earlier Goa trance sound as digital production tools became more widely available.[2] Tempos generally range from 125 to 150 BPM.[3]
On Videojam, Psytrance carries 41 public videos. Artists most represented in the catalog are Astrix, Electric Universe and Liquid Soul Official. Psytrance sits in the Techno & Trance pillar of the EDM taxonomy, alongside Trance and Hard Techno.
