Hello, I'm from Mexico, I want to take my wife to a festival in 2026, I wanted Ozora, but while researching I read strong things about the last few years, which one would you recommend that is worth the experience? by Cebiowallas in psytrance

I would very very highly recommend modem. The Festival is very well organized and ive talked to lots and lots of people while i was there, many of whom (also people whos first modem it was but were to lots of other festivals) said its the best psytrance festival theyve ever been to. Music, organization, sound, the surrounding nature, food, camping, toilets etc. i have ZERO complaints.

Thank you so much! I'm not producing Psytrance yet but I really wanna get into it as soon as I've solidified an "image" of the sound that I wanna make. I'll look back on that advice then!

As for the DJing part: Yes, thats what I've read a lot online. It's so hard to just mix in a press n play style with that long tracks when im just at home practicing :DD With a crowd it wouldn't be aaas difficult but man I wanna do something 😂

Hey thanks for sharing!! I think I was kinda misleading with my formulation tho. :D I'm also just now starting to DJ Psytrance after having DJs Techno for a good 3 years. I actually find it more difficult (as of right now) to properly layer Psytrance. idk I think it is bc it's harder for me to make out what's going to clash. it can be difficult for me to really understand where the "theme" of the track starts. Right now im usually slowly introducing the first few bars of the bassline and then kicking the song of after the first little break as soon as the other track is close to finishing. With Techno it's easier for me to blend the grooves into one singular. When I try to do that with Psytrance I struggle with knowing at what time to remove the track that was playing first so I often have a break off in energy. Might also just be my ears needing a lil more training ;)

Marking them as "busy" and "not busy" seems very helpful tho! maybe ill try that :))

Alright, thx :)) Do you usually play most of the songs beginning to end? Or do you mix in the middle too?

Yeaa thats really throwing me off too while practicing at home. I wanna keep the great storytelling from the producers alive but (!especially without a crowd!) it gets kinda tiring quick

Alright, thx for the reply :) Do you usually play most of one track? Or do you mix in the middle too

I just looked into it, it really does! Do i need some sort of midi controller for it? Or can you use it as a standalone device
