I DJed at a prototype Psytrance party nearby to Tbilisi. I created the DJ set in Ableton Live using the warping functionality. It was my first time DJing but I have produced a lot of electronic music and I’ve been a devoted listener for years, so it was a thrilling exercise to come up with some favourite tracks and download new ones to create a mix which would satisfy a crowd who wanted to listen to Psytrance. Psytrance is a variation on standard Trance music, characterised by a sound with hypnotic synths and 4/4 beats. The mixing leaves a bit to be desired but I don’t think it’s bad considering it’s my first attempt. I could spend time tweaking it to perfection but that’ll be for the next one.
