GMS, short for Growling Mad Scientists, is a prominent name in the psychedelic trance music scene. The group originally formed in the Netherlands in 1995 and was founded by members Riktam and Bansi, who both hail from Spain and Amsterdam, respectively. Known for their high-energy sound and an innovative approach that combines elements of psychedelic and Goa trance, GMS quickly became a leading act in the psytrance community, captivating audiences with their pulsating rhythms and hypnotic melodies.
Over the years, GMS built a robust discography with releases like "Mind Wandering," "Animatrix," and "Burnin Scientists," which showcased their evolution as artists and producers. Their music is characterized by a fusion of electronic synthesis and driving beat structures, resulting in immersive experiences both in the studio and on the dance floor. With tracks such as "Moonlite Kite (GMS Remix)" and "Dilation Vibration," they demonstrated their adeptness at remixing, bringing new life to existing compositions. The album "Best Of" serves as a testament to their impactful contribution to the genre, while singles like "Nomads" and "Palolem" continue to push the boundaries of psytrance. GMS's collaborative effort in "Going Back (GMS & Poli Remix)" and their spiritually titled track "Bodhisattva" further emphasize their dynamism and versatility in electronic music production. The group maintained a strong presence in the scene until Bansi's untimely passing in 2018, which marked the end of an era for the groundbreaking duo. Despite this, the legacy of GMS lives on in the undying spirit of their music and the generations of psytrance enthusiasts they inspired.
