Very nice one, I hear some influences from old progressive acts such as Virbasphere and Atmos, but it also has enough original melodies and sounds.
Very enjoyable track overall. Definitely oldschool, but in a good way

Psytrance passed me by in the 90s (is that right?). However I am starting to appreciate it now and I enjoyed your track. Cool work.

Allomerius: Thanks ! I am in same category
I started to make psytrance inspired tracks around 2012. And still I find it fun to make. There are some basic rules that defines this genre, but for me its always way to unexplored grounds. BTW I don't listen to psytrance.

Well produced bit of psytrance with some great sound combos in there - enjoyable listen.
Two small points...
I was listening at first on a small Bluetooth speaker and the kick was too high in the mix.... Drowned out everything else a little bit... Same listening on my phone, but then absolutely fine when I switched to my big hi fi speakers.
Musically, it's good as it stands, but for me the very best psytrance tracks (certainly those that don't worry too much about the exact 'rules' of the genre) always contain a strong hook alongside or soaring above the rippling energy of the groove... Could be an effect, an interesting sound or a more sustained melodic phrase... Whatever, but I felt that was the final missing element that would've lifted it all even higher.

Not bad.
Like Chameleon stated the kick is too loud and it could use some air in the high end.
