Boom brings psychedelic music into a world shaped by art, movement and shared discovery. At the Dance Temple, rolling bass lines and winding melodies draw listeners into the same rhythm. Beyond it, slower sounds and imaginative spaces offer a different way to experience the gathering.
For a first visit, start with the music that speaks to you and leave room for what you haven’t heard yet. Psytrance can be driving, melodic, intricate or quietly hypnotic; the artists below reveal seven distinct approaches. Their past performances offer a listening guide to Boom’s musical character, alongside ideas for bringing that same visual freedom into your outfit.
Psytrance / full-on · Israel
Rolling bass, expansive melodies and patiently built tension give Astrix’s sets their sweeping character. His music moves between intimate detail and moments that fill a dance floor, making him a clear starting point for listeners discovering modern psytrance.
Progressive psytrance · Israel
Ace Ventura builds momentum through deep grooves and steadily unfolding arrangements. His music gives dancers time to settle into a rhythm before the next shift arrives. The progressive approach offers a useful contrast to the more forceful, full-on side of the festival.
Psytrance / full-on · Brazil
Burn in Noise brings warm, driving bass lines together with intricate psychedelic leads. His sound feels energetic without losing its detail, rewarding close listening as well as movement. For someone drawn to richly layered trance, his past Boom performance is an inviting place to begin.
Progressive psytrance · Israel
Captain Hook favors deep grooves, rounded bass and slowly shifting psychedelic detail. His progressive approach leaves space between the peaks, inviting you to settle into the rhythm rather than rush toward the next drop.
Progressive psytrance · Switzerland
Liquid Soul brings an expressive melodic side to progressive trance. Uplifting phrases move through a steady pulse, giving the music warmth as well as drive. His past Alchemy performance offers another angle on Boom beyond the Dance Temple.
Psytrance / full-on · United Kingdom
A longtime presence in the psychedelic underground, Tristan brings a restless, full-power sound to the dance floor. Intricate textures keep the ear occupied while the rhythm stays physical. His Boom archive captures a performer closely connected to the culture he plays for.
Psytrance / full-on · Germany
Electric Universe carries decades of psychedelic trance history into an energetic, uplifting sound. Bold melodic lines and a strong forward pulse make the music immediately engaging. The archived Dance Temple set is a useful introduction to that expansive style.

Psytrance develops through long sets, with progressive grooves and full-on momentum offering different paths across the dance floor. Away from that intensity, downtempo and other exploratory sounds create room to slow down. The music belongs within a broader culture of art, learning and collective participation.

Boom’s visual language gives color and pattern room to breathe. Tetramode’s fractals, flowing forms and precise geometry belong in that conversation. Choose one artwork as your starting point, then build the look through palette, proportion and the way you like to move.
Branching rainbow forms mirror the detail of psychedelic stage art. Let the printed tee lead and keep the rest of the silhouette simple.
