While in Israel I asked this same thing to a taxi driver who happened to be very into the early ages of Israeli trance as an attendant, he told me basically they enjoy this music so much because is their way of releasing so much feelings after so many wars and stress, he said he even takes his children along with him to some open air forest parties, I went to see Infected in the Masada desert last year, I totally understood why they ( me included lol) enjoy this music SO much. Much love from Mexico to all Israeli artists and people into Psytrance in this special time
Psytrance music was mainly played in Goa. There was, and still is, a big movement of Israelis traveling to India after the army, so basically, they "brought" the psytrance with them. Of course, there can be other reasons, but I think this one was the primary influence.
@@junglie yes, that's how language works, when you go from A to B, and you go from B to A, then you go "back" to A. Why are you trying to twist it into something it's clearly not?
The economic situation in Israel during the 1980s and 1990s played a significant role in the development of the country's technology sector. The Israeli Intel factory managed to double processing speeds, allowing Israelis access to modern computers and software synthesizers before many Europeans. This was particularly beneficial, as large synthesizers were prohibitively expensive at the time. Israel's do-it-yourself (DIY) spirit resonated with the DIY nature of the psytrance music scene. Additionally, IDF soldiers who traveled to Goa, India, during their vacations were exposed to the mysticism and peace prevalent in the region. This experience was highly valued, as it provided a much-needed respite from the tensions faced at home. The combination of these factors contributed to the unique development of Israel's psytrance scene.
PsyTrance, for me, is like a spiritual healing sacrament for the soul, my guess is that the reason why PsyTrance is so popular in Israel is that they understand what it is all about, and how it can heal them in these turbulent times.
Bro i watched some of your videos and as a psychedelic oldschool dude i found them really nice because the way you experience and talk about psytrance is refreshing ::-) keep putting out content if u can and most of all : STAY AWESOME !!
Bro i've got so many questions about that topic, like : How big is Psytrance culture within the Israeli population ? Is it a common thing to hear Psytrance in shops or Malls or even on the radio ? Is there tv shows about psytrance ? Do artists like Astrix or Infected Mushroom get invited on talkshows and stuffs like that ? Or is it more of an underground culture ?
The short answer for most of the questions is "no". It's definitely more of an underground thing, in a way that the media don't cover it so often. The only special thing I can think about is that some religious groups like to dance to psytrance and they do it in the middle of the street. They are called "breslev": ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-0QtLhYfBgCY.html
I think Psytrance is very popular in Israel compared to other countries.. you can hear psytrance tracks on weddings (the more commercial ones) from shops, cars and other events. a lot of people knows about Infected Mushroom. Astrix. Skazi etc.. Skazi was in reality tv shows and he's very known 'celebrity' in Israel :). Ive seen some covers in the media over the years.
@@zedryelmeldrygor1070 Well that depends on what genre of Psytrance. Well sure, Israelis definately own a certain sound within psytrance, but many other cultures brought back Goa trance from India back in the day, and it developed from there. Just listen to the Scandinavian artists fx; Bitmonx, Hallucinogen, Freq, Gaudium, a completely different feel from Isratrance, or just look at the Germans; Neelix, Symphonic etc, again, completely different feel and sound, even though the basic formular is the same. And the list goes on.
@@85brink listen to the list of Israeli names from 0:15, they produce a whole range of music. For example, Captain Hook is further away from Vini Vici in terms of music than Neelix is from Electric Universe, etc.
@@marcellkovacs5452 Sure. There's a lot of different Isreali psytrance music as well. Just as well as there are nuances within the psytrance made in Hamburg.I have been listening to Goa and Psytrance since 1998, so I am well aware of the artists in the list. But that fact doesn't make psytrance invented by israelis in Goa.
@@kikiashtonUne drogue est une substance chimique qui te rend accro… les psychédéliques font l’inverse de cela…😅 et ils améliorent l’intellect, la sagesse, la créativité, augmentent l’état de conscience… Et les synthétiseurs restent des instruments de musique hein… tu as l’air d’être un golem aigri.
Today there is so annoying music that is trying to get in psytrance. There is no melody at all , like it was before. There is no emotion in the tracks like before. I think that that kind of stuff dont deserve to be called psytrance. The Astrix and Talamasca are those who keeps oldschool psytrance alive today .
The truth is that Psytrans is popular because Israel is still missing the mark of being the chosen people holy onto Adonai we were meant to be, instead we're still dancing in the same pagan festivals like we did we the moabite women thousands of years ago, which also cost us a masacre back then, we're still behaving worse than the nations around us, just like we did when Joshua led us into the promised land and we ended up behaving worse than the nations we were supposed to destroy, dancing in pagan festivals, worshipping their gods, eating foods sacrificed to idols, etc. Now we call it psytrance, and it is still causing us our lives. Sad really.
