India, officially the Republic of India (Hindi: भारत गणराज्य), is a country in South Asia. It is the seventh-largest country by geographical area, the second-most populous country, and the most populous democracy in the world. Bounded by the Indian Ocean on the south, the Arabian Sea on the west, and the Bay of Bengal on the east, India has a coastline of 7,517 kilometers (4,671 mi). It is bordered by Pakistan to the west; People's Republic of China (PRC), Nepal, and Bhutan to the north; and Bangladesh and Myanmar to the east. India is in the vicinity of Sri Lanka, the Maldives, and Indonesia in the Indian Ocean.
HistoryThe trance virus that was initiated by hippie tourists during the early 1970’s did not take long to infect the Indian subcontinent. International acts at nature parties became a common form of musical fete, which resulted in exultant sensations across the country. The scenario ameliorated until 2006 – the year that witnessed the colossal failure of the first Indian Psychedelic Trance festival (Moondust), and the subsequent year 150 ravers were imprisoned on the auspicious “festival of colors” party in Pune. However, there exists a flip side to this particularly psychedelic coin, with the India section on the renowned Isratrance forum resurrected, and a large number of artists becoming conspicuously visible in the international market.
[2010] Moving towards the clubs in INDIAThe year 2009, was in a way a revival of the trance scene in India after a bleak 2008. With a variety of international artist tours coming in numbers such as the legendary Spacetribe, the latter part of 2009 really kicked off in style. Though the outdoor parties that were once famous hardly exist anymore, the scene has definitely moved towards the clubs which has given rise to new party destinations such as Kochi in Kerala and a revival of Kolkata. And for the good you could now find trance parties in all the major cities almost every month throughout the year. This was also the year wherein newer psytrance projects such as Farebi Jalebi, Braindrop & Fuzulu made their mark on the international music circuit with their music featuring in many popular and respected labels and constant performances within and outside the country. Also the more progressive side of psytrance and sub-genres had begun to find way to the scene across the country with great popularity through the birth of new progressive trance and techno labels and tours from heavyweights like D-NOX, GMS and Dj Slater to name a few. Organisations such as Audio Ashram and Qilla Records in Delhi, LittleI in Kolkata, Occulta Records in Bangalore, Go Madras in Chennai have provided the nation a fresh wave of fantastic events with great innovative music,deco and interesting audio-visual concepts. Though the late night parties of Goa are almost rare, the season this time around was very vibrant with a lot of new music enthusiasts, fun-seekers, spiritually charged people and numerous artists. One of the biggest highlights of was the NYE party at the legendary Discovalley in Goa which took place after a gap of 5 years. It was the big outdoor gathering that people craved for years and so it did, till the wee hours of the morning with close to 4000 people under one vibe! The year 2010 has already kicked off in great fashion with great tours of Goa Gil, Emok, Jerome-Isma-Ae, Protoculture and the Go Madras Festival. One of the key events to look out for in 2010 is the 2nd edition of Mandala Project, a 3 day festival at a breathtaking location in Orissa with a promising lineup with local and international flavour. Besides that more or less any place in India, is a great adventure for any traveller seeking that ultimate bliss and beauty. Manali, Goa, Kerala, Pondicherry and the North-East which is the untouched paradise of India are all spectacular places to visit. By the looks of it the birth of the new decade, is the birth of the new generation of trance in Incredible India. The future looks brighter than ever!
