Style recipe for Suno v5
Psytrance
Psychedelic trance from the 2000s: rolling bass, acid lead, glitch fx, hypnotic and euphoric in feel. A name-free Suno recipe that reproduces the signature sound without tripping the artist-name filter.
History
Psytrance grew out of Goa trance, and Goa trance grew out of a beach. Hippies began arriving in Goa in the mid-1960s, and through the 1970s its DJs played Grateful Dead, Pink Floyd and The Doors. Kraftwerk tracks turned up by 1979, and from 1983 the DJs Laurent, Fred Disko and Goa Gil moved the parties onto European EBM. The first Goa trance album, Project II Trance, arrived in 1993 with tracks by Man With No Name and Hallucinogen. The music runs faster than most trance, usually 125 to 150 BPM, over a bass line that pounds without a break; a new layer lands every four to eight bars until a climax, then the track breaks down and starts a new pattern, and six to ten minutes is a normal length. Matsuri Productions buried the first commercial wave in 1997 with the compilation Let it RIP, whose sleeve wished Goa trance rest in peace alongside Princess Diana. Israeli musicians count among its leading producers, Infected Mushroom and Britain's Shpongle are sometimes filed under the style, darkpsy took hold in Germany and Russia after 2003, and in 2004 Glastonbury handed psytrance a whole day on its Glade stage.
