Goa Trance is a electronic music style that originated during the late 1980s in Goa, India.[1] History[edit] The music played was a blend of styles loosely defined as techno and various genres of computer music e.g.: high energy disco without vocals, acid house, electro, industrial gothic, various styles of house, electronic/rock hybrids. The music arrived on tape cassettes by fanatic traveler collectors and DJs. It was shared (copied) tape to tape amongst Goa DJs, which was an underground scene, not driven by labels or music industry. The artists producing this 'special Goa music' had no idea that their music was being played on the beaches of Goa by cyber hippies.

Cassette tapes were used by DJs until the 90s when DAT tapes were used. Goa Trance as a music industry and collective party fashion tag did not gain global traction until '94. Sound[edit] The kick drum often is a low, thick sound with prominent sub-bass frequencies. Notable releases[edit] Old School Goa Trance: Parties[edit]
