GAian Mind

About me:

"The message that nature sends is, transform your language through a synergy between electronic culture and the psychedelic imagination, a synergy between dance and idea, a synergy between understanding and intuition, and dissolve the boundaries that your culture has sanctioned between you, to become part of this Gaian Mind." - Terence McKenna (1946-2000)

Since 1996, Philadelphia (Pennsylvania, USA) based Psytrance collective, GAIAN MIND, has been producing distinctive, Goa-styled events in nightclubs and at outdoor locations throughout North America.

And in 2007, in conjunction with our tenth anniversary, we proudly present our self-titled record label. The GAIAN MIND label is dedicated to releasing the world’s most innovative talent in the Psytrance genre - focusing on artist development and the highest production standards.
