The Highest Ranked Psytrance Music By DJs

By Mushroom OnlineDJs, Mushroom-OnlineNo Comments

Psytrance music is one of the forms of trance music that has been pieced together by DJs. It is actually safe to say that DJs contributed hugely to the emergence of psytrance. And thanks to their continued desire to contribute to the evolution of the genre, it is what it has become today.

As early as the late 1970s, DJs had already started mixing certain trance music tracks with tracks and beats from all over the world in a bid to create unique tunes.

“Laurent Garnier started to play with Dj Nelson a.k.a. Dj Stan in French club.”

For example, Goa trance which dawned around the early ’80s was mostly mixed by DJs. Laurent and Fred Disko are the two DJs who contributed significantly to the development of Psytrance music when they mixed Goa trance with a number of electro-industrial tunes. Since then, the genre has grown to become one of the most popular kinds of music today. As a matter of fact, it has a much larger following than other subgenres of trance music including Goa trance from which it was derived. People in all parts of the world celebrate the culture, art and the music of the genre.

Since the day psytrance music was brought on board, many artists and bands have been formed and each of them has contributed to the growth of the genre. Having contributed greatly to the development of the genre, DJs have been following the development of the genre and are thus the best people to ask for the list of the top psytrance music artists or bands of all time.
