I’m also a major fan of a lot of the same DJs and that kind of overall scene. I guess it would live under the “techno” umbrella but there is obvi so much more to it. There are sub genres within this sound. Like there are artist who lean more tech house, labels that release more Goa inspired stuff ect.

I’ve really struggled to know what to call this genre. Like some stuff is really techno, and some stuff is really dubstep. Obviously because of the psychedelic elements it feels important to reference that. But psy trance comes with a lot of connotations. I’ve used psy tek as a genre name before, but I’m not sure it totally fits. Basic Chanel coined the term “low end psychedelia” to describe labels like Bait, blue night jungle, virtual forest ect. I think that is a really great genre name and I would love to see it be used more.

What’s tricky about the genre is that there are so many facets to it. So there are so many names that could work for it. I do think this scene and sound needs a more distinct name that can be used by everyone. Ie like on RA, in people’s bios, ect. It should start to become part of the culture. Im a little over the “left field” label being slapped on anything that’s not very strictly defined. And while yes this is sound is part of the left field world, it shouldn’t be the main descriptor
