Goa trance is an electronic dance music style that originated in the early 1990s in the Indian state of Goa.^[2] Goa trance often has drone-like basslines, similar to the techno minimalism of 21st century psychedelic trance (psytrance). Psychedelic trance developed from Goa trance.^[3] The typically long songs built on progressive beat changes are said to put the listener in a “trance”.
