Goa Trance

Goa Trance emerged in the late 1980s in Goa, India, as a sort of sonic cocktail that combined psychedelic rock, techno, and an assortment of rhythmic wizardry to keep ravers dancing into the early hours. Characterised by its prolonged buildups, melodic crescendos, and a bassline that seems determined to give you an unexpected heart murmur, it's like being taken on a journey to a place where time doesn't exist, or perhaps just the ability to remember your own name. Fun fact: if you're ever stuck on a desert island with a DJ, make sure they love Goa Trance; their playlist will make the seagulls dance and suddenly life won't seem so monotonous anymore.
