Psytrance in Solidarity

We are humans within the psytrance scene demanding an immediate end to the genocide of the Palestinian people.

We refuse to contradict the values from which the psytrance scene was born, and support the Palestinian struggle for freedom, justice and equality under the 78‑year‑old occupation by an apartheid state.

As members of the global psytrance community, we ask you to join the growing critical mass by signing this letter to pledge your support and solidarity with the people of Palestine.

We are at the height of a global reckoning – a watershed moment. We have witnessed massive waves of solidarity for the Palestinian people across nearly every musical genre, with independent creators and renowned industry figures condemning the atrocities unleashed by the Israeli government.

Yet the psytrance scene stands alone: with its close ties to Israel, it remains shrouded in silence and complicity.

Major psytrance promoters and artists have scarcely spoken out against the staggering loss of Palestinian lives as Gaza continues to be devoured in an apocalyptic blaze reminiscent of multiple Hiroshimas. This deafening silence means the psytrance scene will go down in history as complicit unless it unites in solidarity against this unthinkable atrocity.

We understand that this silence is rooted in the belief that standing with Palestine betrays the friends we lost on October 7 at the Nova Festival and those still being held hostage, and that any compassion for Gazans could be mistaken for support for Hamas.

While we unequivocally condemn the horrific attacks that shattered our community that day and feel for suffering of the hostages, we cannot remain silent about the catastrophic violations of human rights and international law unfolding in Gaza.

Ultimately, the truth about this live-streamed genocide is impossible to ignore.

We stand with the global movement opposing Gaza’s destruction and the mass displacement of the Palestinian people, and we denounce every attempt by complicit governments and cultural institutions to normalise the greatest human‑rights violation ever witnessed in our lifetimes.

Together, we must fight to end the occupation, stop the genocide and dismantle apartheid.

Sign this letter to show your support for the people of Palestine. We are one.
