Gotta agree psytrance isnt for everyone beauty lies in the eye of the beholder it same with psytrance.

I always hated commercial house minimal techno since to me they just sound like electronic beats especially cos theyre slow whereas psytrance to me sounds like an actual song with a story telling feature. After a house set my reaction would be oh ok that was a dancey set but with a psytrance set my reaction would be wow that took me places in my mind i knew never existed now thats cutting edge music.

And psytrance is not only a music its more of a culture when coupled with entire set and setting in the middle of nature with proper psychedelic deco, it is at a way higher level of presentation as compared to a rave with everybody holding glowsticks and lasers piercing your eyes.

Night psy triggers every emotion in the brain like scary, spooky, wierd, angry and happy all in one good dj set. Whereas to the commercial electronic music crowd that seems to be a negative thing they want to be in the happy/bouncy emotion 24/7. Psytrance is more true to the soul it shows all the emotions the balance of life the positive and the negative.

Then the whole concept of playing night psy in the night and transitioning to the most dreamy morning with a powerful morning set is a magical journey that the mainstream electronic scene cant imitate and frankly many are mentally too weak to handle all the emotions involved in the whole journey.

Atleast to me i see some clear cut differences between psy scene and house scene.

Drugs: As far as ive noticed the house music scene will have a lot of cocaine and ecstasy whereas the true psy scene its mostly LSD or other deeper psychedelics.

Look up erowid addictive potential for cocaine and E is very high whereas LSD its a recreational 90% people who try it take a break after an lsd experience to contemplate all that theyve seen during their trip. All of us know the comedown of acid is no where as bad as coke/E. I also believe E and Cocaine are ego centric drugs whereas LSD dissolves the ego. On LSD you connect with nature and each other without all the jaw grinding or twitching.

Ive any day seen more fights in a house party/rave as compared to a psy party. Is it the substances or the music this is the way it is at the end of the day.

The ideal story of house music crowd goes like ' oh i went to this dj's after party and we did a lot of blow off these strippers thighs and tits it was awesome'

The ideal story of a psytrancer goes like 'man there was a psy fest and after that we went to this awesome village tucked away in the mountains where the village folk gave us food and shelter, booming chillums no questions asked, they treated us like family '

Psy trance locations are always an adventure in itself. Even before the music starts people are awe struck by the amazing nature that surrounds them once they reach the venue.


Disclaimer: This is my personal opinion and i hope i am not offending anyone. Im open to criticisms though.

thats such a ignorant and retarded statement... taste can´t be a fact..
and if you talk about technical aspects then there is a artists like venetian snares, squerpusher, tipper, richard divine and endless more who you should maybe give a listen to before blowing such a bunch of hot smoke...
simon posford is for sure good and is great what he did for THIS scene, but then again, thats not all what electronic music is about..
