I see a lot of H.U.V.A Network and Carbon Based Lifeforms. I'm mainly a trance lover, but when I get tired of it, these are the two I switch over to and start expanding from.

This [0] is more psyambient, isn't? I hate typecasting into genres, but I always saw that as the more chill-side of that version of EDM whereas psytrance was more like Alwoods [1], E-Mantra or Capsula etc...

I spent many HDDs streaming SomaFM and got to listen to a ton of it, but there was a notable difference when those tracks drop in not just tempo/BPM and bassline sigs.Cosmic Leaf Records was a really cool label that used to deal in both sounds as their artists had lots of cross-over.

And thanks to this thread I just found out CBL dropped an album this year, going to go deep on that later this week. Still rinsing World of Sleepers after all this time.

Definitely more of psy chill/ambient than trance. I tend to like moving between psytrance and psybient–too many hours of trance alone makes me feel like my brain is vibrating inside my skull!
