Most of the discussion and sources of content talk about movies and series.

I've been recently looking for psy and techno music, finding FLAC or WAV with active seeders feels like striking gold. It's definitely been a while since I've looked for active torrent sites and it feels more barren than ever.

Edit: Thank you all for all that valuable information. The reddit group really wasn't this helpful and valued making fun over adding real use able knowledge.

Absolutely. I'll take you on a very brief journey through the years. I will forewarn you: most people don't gel with a lot of this stuff unless they have had a head full of psychedelics on a packed dancefloor a few times to figure it all out so we start gentle. You don't really dance to the beat...it's the rolling bassline you've got to jump on ;)

Medicine Drum - Suraya Mela E.P from 1996 is pure psychedelic: something approximating a distillation of goa trance mixed with tribal rhythms. If I'm not mistaken, all of the synths are analogue. It has a super organic vibe and is one of my favourites for hosting a mushroom session.

Taking a wild leap forward in time and intensity: Raz - Twisted Fairytale (2007) Purest of Israeli psychedelic trance IMO. There's not much else to say - as far as the Isra style psytrance of this period, this is the pinnacle in my humble opinion.

Day Din - Speakers Corner (2007) Beautiful album

Tuk - The Laws of Nature (2010) This my favourite type of psychedelic release: one that is meant to be listened to as an album. This is not a dancefloor banger compilation, but a skilled DJ can string together some of the purest searing acid basslines ever recorded into a set using nothing but two copies of this CD if they wanted. It is one of my all time favourites.

Now for some proper bangers:

Nights of the Psychedelic Order Compiled by Panayota (2012) There's not much to say. It's fat, it pumps hard from start to finish and any given track on it could fill a bush dancefloor.

My finger has not been on the pulse the last 10 years. There's been some really great releases but I've no idea where they fit in; someone else can probably give you some great recommendations for newer stuff.

If you are after something a little slower, check out:

Tetrameth - Psychological Pyrotechnics, pretty much anything by Terrafractyl, god there's so much!

Hope you find something you like in there.

Thanks for this list, gonna check these out. I am mostly into old school goa trance the likes of Hallucinogen, Doof, Astral Projection, Darshan, Green Nuns of the Revolution, Blue Planet Corporation, etc.

So it sounds like I’ll like the Medicine Drum EP since goa seems to have a more organic sound than the more “digital” sound of more modern psytrance.

I appreciate the in-depth response, checking out the music now!

Side note you may enjoy the game everhood, your music is reminding me of that game's soundtrack and I played the whole thing on mushrooms it was a magical experience.
