“Indeed, by the early 2000s, the music and cultures of psytrance (from psybient to darkpsy) was becoming entheogenically liminalised, a popular state of affairs from Europe to Israel, America to Australia and Brazil to South Africa.”

“Psybient artists include⟳ Shpongle, Entheogenic (2), Evan Bluetech, Yaniv Shulman, Kickbong, and some of the works of Younger Brother.”

“Shpongle was formed in 1996 and has been described by Posford as “like⟳ nothing you’ve ever heard before.” They have⟳ been noted for pioneering the “psybient” genre, which combines world music, such as Ram’s infamous flute, with synth-based electronic mixing, making a sound⟳ that has been a strong influence⟳ for so many groups since Shpongle’s inception.”

“The worldwide annual psychedelic festival for yoga, music, dance⟳ and nature lovers is again hosted lecturers, coaches, psychologists and healers along with 130 yoga workshops, seances and lectures, as well as a Psybient music festival with over 140 music artists and DJs performing on three stages.”
