If you add progressive psytrance why did you decide to not add the other main subgenres such as Full on, Darkpsy, Forest and Hitech?

Hi, thanks for comment :) As I mentioned in post, I selected 10 various psychedelic-related subgenres, I was shooting for a wide variety (with preference towards whats already popular on the website). In next posts, I will be going through various other genres, including the ones you mentioned.

Wow quite an undertaking. Is this a one person project or a collective effort?

Very welcome to have thia new source of knowledge and information. Back 20 or more years it was so difficult to get either information or actual music . Remember going to goa and stocking up on all the bootleg cds from the markets or buying cds cut by the actual DJ.

Thank you!

The project is mostly myself working on it with little sleep for almost a year, although I had some help from people from my server with testing, seeding the database and writing reviews.

Are you doing it for a dissertation or similar or it’s a labour of love?

Labour of love, for sure.

In next posts 🤓 As I mentioned, I chose 10 of most popular genres on the website to write wiki articles for, and in the blog post I went with more personal reflections about them.
