Psytrance, short for psychedelic trance, is a subgenre of electronic dance music characterized by hypnotic arrangements, fast tempos ranging from 135 to 150 beats per minute, and layered melodies that create an immersive auditory experience. Emerging in the early 1990s, psytrance is rooted in the Goa trance scene and is designed to induce a psychedelic state through its intricate soundscapes, often featuring deep basslines, oscillating synths, and complex rhythms. Artists like Liquid Soul and Nova Fractal craft tracks that blend progressive beats with ethereal melodies, while acts such as Mindsphere and Dimension 5 push the boundaries with cosmic themes and spiritual undertones. The genre is celebrated for its vibrant energy and capacity to transport listeners to otherworldly realms, making it a staple in global dance festivals and underground raves alike.
