Before producing... what was about this genre that you guys liked that much? Is it still the same at this day? What kind of sounds made you a loyal follower of the so called psychedelic trance?

I was just young and dumb. 
And no it is far from the same today, however I still enjoy electronic music to it's outmost. I just prefer it to be musically and rythmically more diverse.
Before I found goa trance I was in to everything between hip hop and hardcore gabber ID&T stuff to drum n bass/garage/jungle. I just slipped in on a banana and got stuck for years in the trance movement. Can't seem to shake the habit of visiting this place daily even though most of it here does not appeal to me anymore. Must be the people

Frozen Ghost - Sour Kangaroo
This track had me with one listen only, but i knew and heard psy before that, but this one brought me into this world
His twisted, psychedelic and melancolic sounds, his tracks are filled with them, you don't have time to stop and stare like those fucking commercial songs, you just listen every fast beat and fast melodies

Was 18. Someone said there was a party where some dude was gonna spin fire. I was like hm, idk what the fuck that is, but it sounds cool lets go.
Show up, dude is playing the most amazing music I had ever heard - I had no clue wtf it was. He was also spinning poi. The next day I showed up to his house, grabbed 30 gigs of music, got a couple websites for poi instruction.
~half a year to a year later, went to Gaian Mind summer festival and dropped for my first time. Life has never been the same since.
Sonic inspiration it those early days in particular? Twisted Records and Infected Mushroom.
Much has changed, but it's still what I want to do.
For what its worth, production changed my entire mindset around psychedelic trance, and becoming a party organizer did as well. I highly, highly recomend getting into both if you are interested in psytrance, it makes you love it so much more but for different and more varied reasons. If you want to make an apple pie from scratch...you must first invent the universe

nice topic, brings lots of good memories , 1994, was in a local record shop browsing vinyls (used to play techno in clubs at that time) and i found some 'matsuri, blueroom & flying rhino stuff', i asked the owner what kind of music was it since the sleeves fascinated me! all those colors who wouldnt be  , the guy had no idea, he said they were sent to him by mistake. I had a brief listen to them at the store and i was hooked already!!!, and i live happily forever after till today and still am .
The track that made me forget techno once and for all was 'vinyl blair - horsework', the bassline just got into my blood, and i craved for more and more , must have played that tune in parties a thousand times!!
boom!

i remember a newyears eve party where there was unexpected suddenly not a punk band but electronic acid bleep bleep music and mdma pills instead of beers. big change. liked it much more. end of wearing 200% black and looking grim as pose, dancing instead of standing and watching.
the first year after that was full of what were called houseparties with just electronic music (acid) in warehouses. underground happenings. free parties. friends playing. all kind of people, junkies, fashion people, football-supporter types etc. all mixed together. still no niches in music style, you went and there was this acid music. mdma was very central (and good haha). in that time i probably heard the first psy like music although i had no idea about producers, styles or tracks.
was much more into techno first than psytrance. probably the first time drop made me switch. was probably in costa rica. cannot remember which party. bad sign maybe haha.
decided to buy cubase and a laptop after hearing penta play in fullmoon in germany. many years ago. that time i started to like psytrance like i like it now. saw him play two month ago here. kind of completion of a circle.

The euphoria and the shivers down my spine, The drive that makes me ride my bike fast and wave my hands in the air! The Lift of my spirit!
I bet i would also find this in other kinds of music, But Psytrance does a good job! And i think tb303 is a very good ingredient, acid leads and rolling baselines, driving percussion....
Makes me smile and feel positive even when feeling very sad a track can grab my spirit and lift me up.
I love music

For me it started with dancing. I was in dancing classes as a kid but then, of course, came drugs and girls and drama and all that shit - i wasn't into dancing anymore, and hardly had any time to practice guitar for that matter.
I started going to rave-like events - first industrial parties, actually, at a local club, then later some classic warehouse parties playing mostly gabber, drum n' bass, and hard trance. I especially liked the tempo and melodies of good hard trance (140-150bpm). But the rave scene was easy to get bored of. I'd heard psytrance a couple of times in morning sets at these parties but never gave it too much thought.
Things changed when I downloaded a progressive mix - barely psytrance - off of a well-known Canadian netlabel website. The set in question was recorded live at an festival called simply "Harvest" in the middle of nowhere. My sister loved the set as well, and we decided we'd try this festival thing out.
I will remember that festival my entire life. There is only 1 night of music, but in the morning, awakening slowly from our acid-soaked haze, I remember saying to my sister, "how in the FUCK do we explain this to 'normal' people?" It was just out of this world. Somehow, I found a lot of beauty in a few thousand people tripping their nuts off deep in the forest - it was like recess for adults, a playground for the infinite amusement of mind and body.
When we got back to the city, all we could think of was this music and this culture, and doing it all again the next summer (and hitchhiking all across Canada hitting up different festivals!).
Now here I am, making music for festivals, and my sister designs and makes strange and beautiful clothing she sells there. I do love the music, but what makes my heart pound, my spine tingle and my lips curl into a smile will always be dancing to that sunrise set under the brightening sky with a few thousand of my 'best friends,' all fighting madly like some wild army on the open sands, all fighting for life and love and just enjoying yourself without giving a fuck.
And THAT'S when I fell in love with psytrance.
Dance, even if you have nowhere to do it but your living room. ~Kurt Vonnegut

why?
because i loved the psychedelic sondscapes and dense arrangements (especially in goa trance) where there's seeminly too much going on for the mind to take it all in. and of course the whole psy culture appealed to me too. i listened mainly to psychedelic/progressive rock before i got into edm.
how?
contrary to what a lot of people report it was a gradual process for me. i had known psytrance for some years, but only as i slowly got more and more into electronic music and then started being bored by the harder, faster, trashier stuff (drumnbass, freetekno, acid tekno) psytrance got more and more playtime.
well, there was one event: at my first psy festival it was raining the whole time, everyone was drenched, full of mud and freezing so sitting in a tent, chilling and drinking chai was in order. then as the sun rose we said 'fuck it' and went up to the dancefloor. it was still pouring, but the energy on the floor with all people dancing, being out of their mind and smiling (despite standing knee deep in the mud sometimes) and of course the music just made it all perfect. i knew 'this is it!' and wouldn't listen to anything other than psy in the following half year |

my story began with Infected Mushroom- Albebino <3 it was like nothing ive ever heard... so i got sucked in to Psychedelic Trance from there, which led to Goa and my own productions I really fancy drum and bass, dub, ambient, bits of metal, and bits of classical though as well Honestly for me, its like all that is working toward that one main objective- the Psychedelic experience! =D
