1990s– / LOCAL SCENE
Israel gave Goa/psytrance unusual popular visibility and produced successive waves of globally influential artists.
Research links the scene to post-military-service travel to India, but also to youth networks, media, the music industry and local conflicts over parties.
From melodic Goa to full-on and progressive forms, Israeli production repeatedly helped redefine the genre’s sonic centre.
This record is a doorway. The archive would rather declare a gap and invite contribution than fill space with generalisations.
