Goa is a beautiful state that requires no introduction. Its beautiful beaches, mouthwatering delicacies and amazing landscape attract visitors not only from within the country but other countries as well. The foreign tourist season in Goa begins sometime around the second week of October and continues on till mid March. This is a beautiful time of year with pleasant weather and the occasional showers.

One of the founders of the Goa trance movement is Goa Gil and American born musician who has been a part of the music scene in Goa since the 80's. It was during the 80's that a lot of hippies that traveled through Goa became interested in electronic dance music that used to play on the beaches of Goa all night long. The mix of outdoor electronic dance parties with Eastern mystical and spiritual overtones came to define the aesthetic of the psytrance movement.
