Gimme some psytrance recommendations

post #1 of 9
Thread Starter 
Really only into Shpongle and Infected Mushroom right now, but I'd love to hear some more music in this vein. I love how psytrance and other electronic genres sound on my SR225i!

Shpongle has psytrance elements, but it is not straight psytrance.
Infected mushrooms style varies as well.

Some stuff to get you started:
DJ Basilisk’s Essential Selections: Hall of Fame - Ektoplazm - Free Music Portal and Psytrance Netlabel

Thanks man.

By the way, if Shpongle is not psytrance, what is it?

If you like Shpongle, try Doof. It's About Time is good

Also, Hallucinogen, Entheogenic have similarities to Shpongle.

Go wild!

Ektoplazm - Free Music Portal and Psytrance Netlabel - MP3, FLAC, and WAV Downloads

free and legal psytrance downloads! Most of them available in FLAC as well and fast servers.
I highly recommend Ekoplex

Enter The Dragon EP + Journey Of The Turtle = win.

1200 Micrograms as well = win.

Anything from TIP, Flying Rhino, Been into it from day one, these are the Lps to get. There are some right now on EBay but pricey. The Blue TIP is $70.00 usd but an epic album.

Sphongle is more ethnic/world music with some psy dubs elements imo, especially their last 2 albums.
If you liked the first one as well, then you'll probably like 2 compilations that were made around that time with the same influences (goa/ethnic): "VA - Mystery Of The Yeti" 1 and 2.
Also have an ear for the albums made by Shulman and Ott, they have some similarities as well.

Concerning IM, i would say most of their work nowadays is very far away from psytrance.

If you check the goa/psytrance thread in this forum you'll see a lot of good recommendations, but i'll write here again some of my favs and also most influencial albums in the genre:

Artist - Album - Sub Genre

Hallucinogen - Twisted
Pleiadians - I.F.O.
Electric Universe - One Love
Khetzal - Corolle
Filteria - Daze Of Our Lives
Transwave - Backfire
Crop Circles - Tetrahedron
Ra - 9th
Orichalcum & The Deviant
CPC - Subliminal Messages (darkpsy)
Psykovsky - Debut (darkpsy)
and many many more...

Psychedelic Trance, Downtempo, Progressive | Reviews, News, Opinion and Comedy from Psyreviews.net | Not much shanti here

every scene needs a dose of humor (and I trust his taste, he's recommended me most of my favorites)

if you just have shpongle and IM... go through the whole timeline..
start out with some Juno Reactor, Bible of Dreams and Beyond the Infinite were my first findings into Goa/psy and they are still pretty magical.
get every album by Ott, Shulman and Younger Brother (Especially Last Days of Gravity by YB, inspiring work).

www.discogs.com is your friend. when you find an artist you like, look them up and find the artists real name. people have so many side projects and this will help you find them all.


another prop for Ektoplasm. great site, his blog is a great resource and free flac releases... the Subconciousmind album on there is awesome. so is the Disco Hooligans album.
