About us

We love Psy. We love bass. We know that tingle when the first bassline creeps through the floor. That feeling when the sun rises over the dancefloor and nobody wants to go home. That one moment when music, people and magic melt into something you can't explain – only feel.

That's exactly what we live for.

Behind Psychedelic Rides stand Max and Daniel – two people who've spent over a decade dancing, planning, building up and tearing down through this scene, then starting all over again. Daniel produces under the name Quellcode and is one of the better-known names in the Austrian psytrance scene; in hitech he also plays as DJ Bob. Max himself brings over 10 years of DJ experience as Maxcid, mainly in forest style. Each of them ran countless events on their own, until at some point it became clear: together, we can do more. Two paths became one.

Together, the two of them now bring close to 20 years of stage and organizing experience to the table – which makes us one of the longest-running psytrance collectives in Austria. What drives us isn't the stage, though, it's the crowd: our community feels like family to us, and that hippie-and-psy feeling is what we want to pass on at every single ride.

But honestly – none of this would exist without our team. Behind every party stands a crew tying up decorations, running cables, building stages, and giving it their all until the last beat fades. You know who you are. Without you, none of this happens. ❤️

We don't do this for numbers or names. We do it for the moments that stay with you. For the hugs with strangers that feel like old friends. For the nights people still talk about years later.

And the most important thing, last:

Thank you for being our crowd. Without you, all of this would just be a sound system in the woods. You turn it into magic. ✨
