i like good psychedelic goa like Australian style not that im expecting to find that kind of style here,what i meant was that EVEN full-on might be good for me though it has to be "non mainstream" and by that i mean that the sound should be less "astrix" like even if its an artist that is non mainstream the sound and "vibes" are the same.

the full-on im looking for would be something more influenced by goa such as "hux flux" or "principles of flight" or such.

of course if there would be any "Soumi" parties I'd be glad but i'm pretty sure there aren't many if at all.

even pure psytrance is great.
no complaints.

not progressiveminimal or cluby full-on styles.

But even small time up and coming producers are making similar sounds in their productions; and I wouldn't consider many of these guys to be "mainstream" by any means. Is it this sound you are trying to avoid, or the names? Are you really looking for full-on at all, or other types of psytrance entirely? From my experience in the Southern California Psytrance scene, I can tell you that mainstream full-on is actually some of the HARDEST music to find. We do get some full-on from our locals (self included), and the occasional headliner at a club or large party; but usually we don't see this kind of stuff around here. Most of the Psytrance around here consists of "Pure Psytrance" (as the Trancers like to call it, but it definitely sits closer to "darkpsy" than other types, just might not actually be "DARK" emotionally), and of course Dark Psy. There is also a good amount of progressive and electro psy tech (or whatever you want to call the new wave of progressive). If you're trying to avoid mainstream Psytrance sounds, and going more for the harder, tribal, and deeper sounds, you would definitely enjoy a trip out to the SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA, and attending a party by Psytribe or others by association. New York, and probably San Francisco in second, gets the most mainstream full-on Psytrance from what I've seen browsing through party lineups on this forum. So while you might be unhappy with the stuff you're seeing around NYC, I'm actually quite envious, since I personally prefer the more mainstream sounding full-on. But rest assured, if you ever make the trip out to Socal, you will find a completely different set of music at most of our psy festivals. Although, don't be surprised if you still see one or two DJ's playing Full-On in the morning.

You are so jaded by this melodic crap, Kahn...

Maybe one of these days you can examine your mind through a dark trance filter...

you don't trip much... huh?

I have a feeling you could travel the country and get a completely different yet equally gratifying experience in all the regions.

I think it would be awesome if we had a festival where each region took a day and built a line up the way they do it. *cough*AUM*cough*

Thursday - Midwest All-stars
Friday - West Coast All Stars
Saturday - New England All-Stars
Sunday - The south Rises again (ATL, NC, TX, MO)

How the heck would you make it to all of those at once? Might it be cooler to have them all at the same time on the same night (United in dance across great distance)?
