https://soundcloud.com/kontrolphreak/raferi-express-your-mind-clip Something I'm working on. It's just a 2:20 min clip. But it's quite nice. Some full on mixed with some nu-disco/synthpop. The rest of my channel has a mix of industrial, psytrance, and hardstyle. So follow me if you wish

Wow thanks for the awesome replies, guys! I read somewhere that psy usually has no melodies, but trippy sounds and like, 1 measure melody rotations. But it is up to the artist what to do... I partly agree that fullon is pretty easy to bust out a song. All you need is 4x4 beat with 0111 or 0011 bassline, quick breaks at the end of a bar, and some fancy FX here and there haha. But to make it unique, I believe you need to sample or use interesting synthesis for your FX and just overall, make it unexpected. (But even expected sounds can build hype!) I like the "emptiness" of fullon, but it needs to be used in moderation to create energy in the audience. ...Why don't we learn from goa if it's so intricate, and add those elements to fullon? The kick and bassline is really all you need to make it dance/trance. I don't know.

Hey PsyNews, I'm new to the forum and this is my first post. Why does it seem that there's so much hate towards the Full On genre? (Most of you guys just seem impartial to it from what I've read on various posts. And maybe some of you ignore it...) I've only known of Fullon as the face of Psytrance. Anything else tends to have a tribal sound. Which is definitely cool as hell, I would just consider it tribal music, and not Psy. But that's just me. I'd like to know your guys' opinions if you show hate to Fullon, and either if you do or don't, which genre is the "face" of psytrance to you? Or maybe it's a certain sound, kick, beat, vocal, or whatever that does it for you. I've just been curious. EDIT: Some Psytrance sounds like industrial/futurepop

Not sure what you mean by intelligent. My favorite style of dub is like the machine gun style. Like excision and others . Not too sure how to describe this type. I suppose its more simple but I love the dark, powerful sound of it.
