What Is Psytrance?
Psytrance is a special type of electronic music which originated in Goa, India (Goa Trance) and quickly spread to become predominant in almost every country in the world. It is most popular in countries such as Israel, Brazil, South Africa, Germany, Switzerland, Mexico, Australia, Japan, and Russia, and it is currently spreading throughout the United States.
Psytrance is constructed using a bassline of 16 equally spaced beats per measure. When played at an approximate speed of 140-150 beats per minute, this vibrating 16-beat Psytrance bassline, creates an frequency of rhythmic energy which is identical to one of the four major frequencies of energy that are present in our central nervous system. This frequency, referred to as the Alpha wave, is most prevalent during periods of high alertness and low anxiety. This means one's mind is able to synchronize with the familiar pattern present in Psytrance, resulting in significant mental stimulation, increased physical energy, and decreased stress. Simply by focusing on this powerful music, one instantaneously becomes motivated to dance, exercise, etc. with greater intensity, and a more positive mood! This makes for one of the most powerful dancing experiences one could ever imagine, providing an unbelievable amount of dance floor energy, and a positive, welcoming vibe from its followers, which allows Psytrance events to last several days, sometimes even more than a week at a time, through the rain or shine.
In other words, these events are MAGICAL! Music lovers, artists, meditators, students, painters, scientists, engineers, inventors, professors, adventurers, fun-lovers, and high energy people alike can find something to enjoy in these events!
