Pure Trance: Goa Trance Ep. 23

Artist: California Sunshine
Track: The Gate to the Past (Remix)

Goa Trance is the real deal. It is my favorite sub-genre of Trance. Enough said, enough done.

You may remember California Sunshine from one of PsycloneD's videos, the group is pretty much a legend in the Goa Trance scene and makes amazing tracks on almost every album! Take a listen and let me know what you think! Later!

Enjoy and Later!

Goa Trance is essentially "dance-trance" music (it was referred to as "Trance Dance" in its formative years), the original goal being to assist the dancers in experiencing a collective state of bodily transcendence, similar to that of ancient shamanic dancing rituals, through hypnotic, pulsing melodies and rhythms. As such it has an energetic beat, almost always in common time (4/4) meaning 4 quarter note pulses per bar. Time is marked with kicks (bass drum beats) on each quarter-note pulse, a snare or clap on the second and fourth pulse of the bar, with an open hi-hat sound every second eighth note. A typical track will generally build up to a much more energetic movement in the second half then taper off fairly quickly toward the end. The BPM typically lies in the 130 - 150 range, although some tracks may have BPMs as low as 110 or as high as 160. Generally , Goa Tracks range from 8-12 minutes long.

Look out for the next episode,
