hello friends,
so living here in southern california, I have to say over the past year or so it seems like all the good psychedelic psytrance has disappeared and all that is left is this fucking progressive / tech sound.
Dont get me wrong, I like some of the progressive music out there. But honestly that shit just gets boring! And its all I hear anymore, you enjoy it for a few hours but in the end this music does nothing to bring about a trance state for me. Its been so long since there's been a party down here with proper heavy psychedelic music. So I just feel like asking, WTF is going on? Has the scene just filled out with new ppl that dont dig real psytrance? do more people actually prefer this sound? And have any of you seen the same thing happen to your local scenes?

The scene moves in cycles of trends. 5 years ago it was "why do they only play this boring full on at parties nowadays?" and 10 years ago it was "why do they only play this boring minimal at parties nowadays?"
Things will change again. For now, if you don't know what's being played at the parties in your area, why don't you work on making parties with some music that you do like?

Progressive/techy stuff just seems to be "in" at the moment. House for me is about huge pianos and hands in the air vocals with a lot of glitz but now it seems to drop into pops and clicks. Trance is the same, not psy but euphoric trance like Above & Beyond all have these big soaring buildups and then drop into pop...click....pop...click...pop.. very tedious, it comes across as though they just can't think up riffs anymore.

ive been here for the past 7 years man, up until about a year ago I never really felt there was a lack of proper psytrance in my area, there would always be some nice heavy stuff going down. but yeah in the past year or so its changed and it seems like all I hear anymore this tech / proggy shite

Yup it's why I go to clubs instead of the bush gigs. I hear the same tunes but it's only a 5 minute walk from my apartment. I love some good tech & prog, but the really stuff not the crummy stuff produced in this scene called progressive.
The darker psy is making it's way back here in Australia win at least 2 or 3 dedicated gigs this year.
It's nice to had a change from dubstep and prog.
I hate you, you hate me, we are all so hap hap happy! |

There is very little proper psy prog these days, almost all acts mutated to tech-house, or prog house.
I miss this genre at parties, perfect for past 10 am.
And must tech and prog house made by former psy artist is very very generic.
Thje few that are really good no longer get booked for psy parties

dark psy and prog are the 2 most played/liked genre in parties these days? it seems like this here since some years now .
also minimal is fading away, it was at his best few years ago to me |

NYC and LA can be pretty clubbed out places at times with not much going on in the way of darkpsy / full on. Back 2-3 years ago it was onnnnlllyyy full-on in NY area, now it seems like not much is happening at all. |

i for one am really happy that the cheesy formulaic fullon is gone (pretty much) from parties, altho theres cheesy formulaic prog as well, but at least it doesnt get played here too much - at least where i come from the musical quality of the parties has improved a whole lot in the past year or two  |
