RE: Blockchain Music Challenge Season 2 - Round 2!

Hi @simplymike - thanks for your comment!
When I started my track and went to google just to make sure that I'm in the right genre I've learned that psytrance does not cover many styles, but that the typical bassline is the rolling bass. That means that the kick is followed by 3 16th notes, what makes the "galopp" beat. One can hardly believe how many youtube videos are commented on, that it is not psytrance. For tracks that I thought was psytrance.
Now that I'm almost done and struggling really hard with this gallop beat, I find out that somehow everyone has a different opinion, what the difference is between Psytrance and Goa..haha.

Too bad that you have not commented earlier ;), which led me to read again, what makes Psytrance exactly. In any case, I would have made a completely different and easier track (for me) - haha.

Well, at least that's how I learned something new :)
PS: I think my track will be up tomorrow :)

In my experience, the rolling bass is used often, but is definitely not a requirement.

When I first read this post and was talking to @nickyhavey about what psytrance really was (it's not easy when you're not a producer to use the exact words) I bumped into this site that actually gives a good rundown of the styles, although it uses a different vocabulary than the one I'm used to.

I see you've posted your track below. Curious to hear the end result :0)
