Deep Jungle WalkAstrix

Astrix – Deep Jungle Walk

Astrix is a key figure you can’t leave out when talking not only about dark psy, but psychedelic trance as a whole.

If you listen to electronic music, you’ve probably come across his name at least once.

He keeps dropping hit tunes, and he’s scored successes across a variety of genres.

Deep Jungle Walk is one of his signature dark psy tracks, a piece defined by its memorable, ear-catching drop and its tightly woven dark atmosphere.

LSDHallucinogen

Hallucinogen – LSD (1994)

Simon Posford, the composer known under the moniker Hallucinogen, is a figure in psychedelic trance.

While he’s renowned for crafting sharp, high-quality psytrance, he also has some darkpsy tracks.

Among them, the one I especially recommend is “LSD.” It’s a famous track, and many of you may recognize its intro.

It can be taken as a psychedelic trance piece as well, so it’s recommended for those who want a lighter, more accessible taste of darkpsy.

RadioX-Dream

X-Dream – Radio [Full Album]

When people hear “dark psy,” many probably imagine a gothic sound.

It’s true that a lot of dark psy tracks have that kind of tone, but some works retain strong elements of its origin genre, psychedelic trance.

A prime example of such a piece is ‘Radio.’ It’s a masterpiece that blends the awakening, quintessentially psytrance melodies with a perfectly dark sound.

Le Shuuk – Goodbye (feat. Xillions) [Official Music Video]

Le Shuuk is a DJ from Germany.

He produces a variety of electronic music, including house, psychedelic trance, and deep house, and has gained popularity across Europe.

One psychedelic trance masterpiece of his that I highly recommend is “Goodbye feat.

Xillions.” Because it features vocals, it might be less immediately apparent, but the chorus track is crafted in classic psytrance style.

It’s a hugely popular track in Europe, so be sure to check it out.

Ummet Ozcan – Seesaw (Official Video)

Uğur “Ummet” Ozcan, a Dutch DJ who began attracting attention around 2015, produces a range of electronic music including progressive house and tech trance, and is especially popular in the trance scene.

Among his tracks, one I particularly recommend is Seesaw.

While many people might associate psychedelic trance with a dangerous or edgy vibe, this track has a very poppy and cute feel.

It’s a great entry point for those not yet familiar with psytrance.

Deep Space 5DDimension 5

Deep Space 5D (Original Mix)

Within electronic music, dark psy is one of the most loosely defined genres.

It’s a style that often draws comments like “this isn’t dark psy,” but precisely because I want to highlight its breadth, I’d like to recommend “Deep Space 5D.” This track evokes a cosmic feel; its darkness is restrained, and it comes together more like a darker shade of psychedelic trance.

The arrangement is highly immersive, so definitely give it a listen.

Becoming InsaneInfected Mushroom

Infected Mushroom – Becoming Insane

“Becoming Insane” has an outstanding Latin vibe.

It may sound like flamenco, but it’s actually closer to the sounds commonly used in North Africa—places like Algeria and Morocco.

Arabian phrasing pairs incredibly well with psytrance, so definitely give it a listen.
