I'm looking to broaden my DJ horizons and start playing a bit of psy trance. However, all I really know are trance, techno and progressive labels.
I've listened to a few compilations over the years but really don't know the psy trance scene. Can you guys recommend any decent labels?
I'm looking for the sort of pulsing driving side of psy and the darker dirty side aswell. As much as I love spending hours checking out new releases online I would appreciate a starting point. Any suggestions?

It's got 15-25 classic albums (which I 80% agree with) albums from each year from 1995 to 2010... the 10 best albums by genre (downbeat/ambient, goa trance, psy trance and darkpsy), and the top 5 of each year.

Internet is full of psy & goa mixes and I recommend to check out the old school compilations like "Goa Head" and "Global Psychedelic".

Click my set archive and check out Radioactive Sound, Frequency Surge, Power Trip, and The Best of Yang if you want some thumping psytrance. Best of Yang actually features one of the tracks Rodri Santos posted. And definitely make your way through Ektoplazm, that site is unbelievable.
one label I recently discovered is Zazoo. glad I found it too. Some of their releases are chill enough to play along with prog house giving a set some additional go if thats what it needs.
As always much love to Flying Rhino. around 2000 lots of darker stuff was being produced on that label. Also check NAJA for more dark stuff
I love Spirallianz. If you don't have this album get it, I love it http://www.discogs.com/Spirallianz-...rk/master/17515
Don't be afraid to check the sublabels while your visit the website
