Recommend me some Psy-Trance

[sarasin]

Dark Psy is usually faster too.

Fullon is from about 144 to about 148.

Thank you. What would you consider the song I had posted in the first post?

[sarasin]

Thats Fullon by the sounds of it.....could only really get the bassline.

If you like that speed and power....check out Twisted System.

I am biased...but Cape Town - South Africa have some of the BEST Fullon producers.

Twisted System are 3 mates from the scene.

Bad Ass.....

[sarasin]

And of course....Damage.

He is a style on his own. Its Fullon....but crazy energy in his tracks.

ya darkpsy can go up to over 155 bpm, and tends not to be very melodic for the most part. lots of squelches and psy farts etc. not my cuppa tea either. mushrooms help getting into this stuff.

I would say generally* ..

Progressive Psytrance & Dark Prog - 128 ish - 140 BPM
Psytrance & Goa - 140ish to 148/150
Dark Psy (used to be called Killer) - 145 - 160
Psybreaks (sorta psychedelic drum n bass)
Psycore (thats like the bastard child of hardcore, breaks and Psy) fuck, i've seen stuff 180BPM and up

The most funky and melodic stuff is usually in the 135 - 146 area.
And Psytrance can be split into "Morning" and "Night" categories as well. Morning tends to be more melodic, lower bpm, more the sort of anthemesque type tune, whereas the night has a lot of emphasis on ear bleeding percussion, lots of random cool FX, samples etc, and bpm's are up toward the 148 mark.


@ Gryz check out the soundcloud group sarasin and me mod, lots of good examples of full on and progressive psy mixes for ya. (link in my sig, also ektoplazm.com for a whole bunch of free compilations)

Well, I have gone through almost every artist you two guys have made a list of on Beatport. I found several songs I like, which is great!

For the most part, the tempo from those artists is >140, perhaps averaging 146 bpm. If you had to say, are most of those tracks Full on?

[Jester]

yep

You wont find much dark psy on beatport.

[Gryz]

Well after a week or so, I have come up with a pretty big Psy collection from Beatport.

Any tips on mixing strictly Psy Trance? Overlapping tracks is a bit different than my usual progressive or Trance with long transitions...
Not going so well I must say. What's your secret?
