Polish psytrance scene has been mesmerizing the country (as well as its neighbors) for about 15 years. Artistic indoor and outdoor events have numerously gathered thousands of people from around the world. The demands which psychedelic trance might elicit are not left behind the passionate people who actually make this all possible. The Polish creative psy-team consists of passionate DJs, VJs, artists, fashion and jewelry designers, trance lovers and electronic music supporters.

The main gig destinations are: Warsaw in the center of Poland, Pomerania (the north) and Silesia (the south). Successful event organizers do their best when it comes to inviting stars from all over the world.

Pulsar Transformation, Hallabanaha which transformed (and gathered new members) into Mystic Arts Event, Psylesia, Jagodziani, Toga Dansverg and Magowie Psychodelicznej Nuty – they all organize psy-parties and are genuine professionals at it. Younger teams that make parties worth attending are: Stay Psychedelic and Fantazja. There is a team which organizes chillout scenes along with their chai shop and deco and they’re called Ashoka.

If you ever find yourself on one of the series of parties called Mystic Arts Event, Psylesia Tales or Monkey Forest be sure you will be bedazzled by what you might already have seen on the famous, but nowadays non existent Moondalla open air festivals: hypnotic beats and surreal decorations. Polish outdoor festivals often take place over a few days with music being played 24 hours a day. Summer gives you about 3 outdoor events a month. Flexible organizers manage to arrange a club to meet spontaneously during the week, so there’s no time to be bored. Winter might be rather peaceful, with about 10 indoor events a month.

There are Polish producers which we are very proud of: Stellar Magnitude, Kino Oko, Big Wigs, Aural Planet, Komendarek, Tromesa, Lightsphere, Multi Evil, Artha and Tomasz Balicki - a Pole living in Sweden known as Atmos.

Polish DJs who make the parties special are mainly Atan, Bongo, Epix, Mabeat, Nois, Styropian and a lot of gifted young adepts. Along them there are remarkably talented VJs: Spiral Boy, Ar2, Cube, Insidelamp.

From 3D constructions to UV-active backdrops – the decorators help put the parties together. Those who make the psychedelic theme vibrant are: MAE Deco Team, Vataa, Neila, Syndromm, UV Art Deco Team and Collorobia.
