With “Psy-Go!”, Star Seeds Report takes a bold leap into the realms of Psy and Goa Trance, crafting a track that pays homage to the golden days of the rave scene while also pushing forward with fresh energy. After releasing more mellow material earlier this year, the artist decided it was time to dive deeper into the pulsating, hypnotic world of psychedelic trance—and the result is a vibrant, high-octane journey that captures both nostalgia and innovation.
From the very first beat, “Psy-Go!” sets its intention. The track layers driving rhythms with psychedelic textures that evolve and expand, pulling the listener into a trance-like state. The rolling basslines and spiraling synths create the kind of atmosphere that feels tailor-made for a darkened dancefloor or an open-air festival stage at sunrise. There’s a hypnotic quality at play here, but it never loses its bite—the track balances repetition and variation in a way that keeps the energy constantly moving.
The roots of this music run deep for Star Seeds Report. Having lived through the early rave scene in the Netherlands during the ‘90s, the artist brings authentic experience to the production. Back then, he was a professional light engineer, working both underground events and massive commercial stages like Thunderdome and Sensation Black and White. While big names like Dark Raver played, it was the Goa Trance scene that truly captured his heart. His first attempt at dancing, he recalls with humor, was to “Feeling Very Weird” by The Infinity Project—a fitting introduction to a genre that thrives on the surreal and otherworldly.
Though he once tried his hand at DJing, life led him on a different path. After years of raising a daughter and building stability, he finally returned to his old dream of making music, this time from his own home studio. That background explains the depth of passion behind “Psy-Go!”; it’s not just a track, but a realization of years of love for electronic music.
“Psy-Go!” follows his earlier releases, “Alpha B Centauri” and “Floating Adaggio.” Those tracks showcased more melodic and ambient sensibilities, reflecting his broad musical background. With this new single, however, Star Seeds Report leans directly into the Psy/Goa spectrum, drawing influence from legends like Juno Reactor, Astral Projection, MFG, and The Overlords. Yet despite those inspirations, there’s no sense of imitation—the track stands firmly on its own, infused with his personal storytelling approach.
One of the defining qualities of his music is the idea of creating “short little journeys from the heart and mind.” “Psy-Go!” exemplifies that philosophy perfectly. It feels like a trip—a sonic voyage that evolves organically, taking the listener through peaks and valleys without ever losing its central pulse. It’s as much an inner journey as it is a dancefloor track, giving it a dual life for both private listening and collective experiences.
Ultimately, “Psy-Go!” is more than just another Psy Trance single. It’s a milestone in Star Seeds Report’s artistic path, marking a shift toward the energetic, mind-bending sound that first drew him into the scene decades ago. For longtime fans of Goa and Psy Trance, it feels like a respectful nod to the classics, but for new listeners, it’s also a fresh entry point into the genre’s timeless power.
