Electronic Music Styles: Trance: Goa trance

Goa trance (often referred as Goa or by the number 604) is a form of electronic music and is a style of trance music. It originated in the Indian state of Goa, which is distinctive as most forms of trance music developed in Europe.

Goa trance is closely related to the emergence of psychedelic trance during the latter half of the 1990s; however, the distinction between the two genres is largely a matter of opinion (and they are considered by some to be synonymous). These two are, however, sonically distinct from other forms of trance, largely by the unique sounds they use. Culturally, they are generally more underground and less commercial than other forms of trance. The goa sound is more likely to be heard at outdoor parties and festivals than in clubs and places like Ibiza.
