Psytrance Reference Library

This section is an archive of articles and other interesting content related to the psychedelic trance movement. No part of this section is authored by anyone here at Ektoplazm—each piece has been rescued from obscurity for one reason or another. Most of these articles, write-ups, and interviews are quite old, so take them with a grain of salt.

What Is Goa? (1999) originally from Psynews
Shall We Trance? by Frederick Noronha (199?)
The Phenomenon of Goa Trance (199?)
An Evolving Ecology of Intuitive Circuits – interview with Ray Castle (1997)
A Definition of Tekno Trance Dance – another interview with Ray Castle (1997?)
The Flop Industry by Yaniv Tal (2003)

Future Additions

The following links are still live and don’t seem to be in any danger of disappearing. I have earmarked these articles as interesting for one reason or another, but yet to incorporate them into the archive. Having the URL on hand means these pages can be fetched if they ever disappear and should give visitors a few more things to check out…
