About Me


Since 1996, Philadelphia-based (Pennsylvania) Psytrance collective, GAIAN MIND, has been producing distinctive, Goa-styled events in nightclubs and at outdoor locations throughout North America.
GAIAN MIND provides an all-inclusive Psytrance experience - including DJs, Live Acts, Decorations, Sound, and Lighting.
Over the past 11 years, GAIAN MIND has hosted some of the world's leading Psytrance and Downtempo artists, such as AMD, ANDROCELL, ANTI, ANTIX, APHID MOON, BEAT BIZARRE, BLUETECH, BUS, CHRISBO, DEVIANT SPECIES, DICK TREVOR, DIMITRY, EDOARDO, ELECTRYPNOSE, EMOK, GOA GIL, GUS TILL, HUMAN BLUE, HUX FLUX, INDIADROP, JAIA, KAYA PROJECT, KENJI WILLIAMS, LOOPUS IN FABULA, MAGNETRIXX, MARK ALLEN, MEDICINE DRUM, MINDFIELD, NEUM, ONNOMON, PHONY ORPHANTS, PHUTUREPRIMITIVE, POLI, PSYMMETRIX, SCORB, SHAKTA, SHANE GOBI, SLIDE, SOLAR FIELDS, STELLA NUTELLA, SYNCHRO, YAB-YUM, as well as visionary artists and authors, including ALEX GREY, DANIEL PINCHBECK, DR. PARADISE, NEIL GIBSON, and others…
For the past seven years, GAIAN MIND’s monthly event in Philadelphia has featured the finest regional Psytrance and Downtempo talent, as well as our highly-talented roster of DJ’s and live acts.
Currently in its seventh year, the annual GAIAN MIND SUMMER FESTIVAL has become the longest-running open-air Psytrance festival in the USA and draws hundreds of dancers from around the world.
In addition, GAIAN MIND has produced numerous charitable events, including Earthdance (’98 and ’99), and benefits for Chapel of Sacred Mirrors, Humankind, Calcutta House, Greater Philadelphia Food Bank, and other non-profit organizations.
In 2006, GAIAN MIND launched their Trance Dance ritual in the Tampa Bay area (Florida) - a new beginning. The "Gaian tribe" grows…
And now, in 2007, in conjunction with our tenth anniversary, we proudly present our record label. The GAIAN MIND label is dedicated to discovering the world’s most innovative talent in the Psytrance genre - releasing quality releases with the highest production standards.
Transcendental Dance is sacred to us, and GAIAN MIND has made it our purpose and passion to produce high quality events by providing the proper visual atmosphere, top-notch sound amplification, world-class talent, and the requisite “Gaian vibe.”
We look forward to dancing with you soon!
