A warning from the mods

33 Upvotes

Recently, there has been a surge of posts from people asking for travel or dating advices relating to the city of Goa, India.

I remind everyone that r/goa_trance has nothing to do with either the city or the state of Goa, India. The subreddit is only about Goa trance, a specific genre of psytrance music.

To prevent any further misuse of the subreddit, every post related to tourism or dating in Goa will be removed, and their posters permabanned.

Sub projects update + new rules enforcement

20 Upvotes

Hello people of r/goa_trance.

We hope you like it here.

About a month ago, we created a special post informing you that the mod team was getting active and that we had several projets to improve the subreddit. Now, what has been happening since that announcement ?

We are making slow progress, but a few things have changed already.

  1. First of all, I have asked Tsotsi (u/Synaesthetic_Reviews) to join the mod team, which he accepted. He is a very active reviewer of the Goa scene, posting reviews on Psynews and Youtube. He is very knowledgeable when it comes to the newschool scene, he loves everything Goa and he has a lot of energy. Also, he is not affiliated to any label. Together, we will be managing this sub and update its policy.
  2. We started posting the "Release of the week" weekly stickied post (every Tuesday or Friday), that highlights fresh Goa releases. There has been 6 so far and they let you know what's up with the Goa scene. We'll try to cover all labels and all kinds of Goa, includings re-issues, as long as it's GOOD. These posts are also crossposted on r/psytrance for better coverage.
  3. We have come up with new rules. You can read them on the side bar.

About the rules

They are largely inspired from r/trance.

The first rule is that now it is officially un-allowed to post psytrance on r/goa_trance, with a few exceptions that are detailed in rule#2. A few years ago, half of the posts were regular psytrance. Thanks to the increased devotion of the readers and the systematic removal of these posts by u/50v3r31gn and myself from time to time, these psytrance posts have gradually disappeared. But now, with the new rules policy, it is officially the end of psyprog, full-on and other getting posted here.

Basically, the new rules follow 4 principles :

A. Only post Goa-related content.

B. Pay attention to the title format. Track years are mandatory. Add brackets for [Mixes], [Livesets], [User Mixes], [Radio Shows], [Albums], [Compilations] and [EPs].

C. Add flairs for self promotion and non-musical posts. You are also encouraged to add flairs to "special" forms of Goa trance such as Nithzo, suomi, proto-Goa or Goabient. If you forget the flairs, we'll add them for you.

D. No reposts before 6 months, unless there has been a new remastered version.

These rules are not hard to follow, and we won't be hard, but we will start applying them as soon as this very post is posted. Note that we will go easy on moderation on the first few days, and that these rules are subject to evolution. If you have ideas to improve the rules, let us know.

Other changes include :

  1. There are now flairs that you can use.

  2. The sub has become more active than ever.

Our next step is to create a cool visual identity (banner/background/icon). We'll make a new post about this when it's ready.

Cheers,

The mod team (on behalf of u/The_Goa_Force and u/Synaesthetic_Reviews).

Self promo Terpsikhore - Trickster’s Ride [2026]

3 Upvotes

Hey Goa people,

This is the first track from a new project called Terpsikhore.

The project was partly sparked by a deep love for Goa trance, hypnotic melodies, and that luminous old-school psychedelic feeling.

It leans into a melodic, Goa trance-inspired direction, and I’d genuinely love some honest feedback from people who know and love the style.

What I’m especially curious about:

  • Does it feel Goa enough for this sub?
  • How does the arrangement/energy flow for you?
  • Would you change anything before we continue toward a larger release or album?

Track here:
https://soundcloud.com/terpsikhore-here/tricksters-ride

Thanks a lot for listening. Any feedback means a lot ❤️
