Wiki

South African night trance (sometimes referred as SA trance or Twilight Psy) is a form of darker psychedelic trance music that started and is produced mostly in South Africa. Unlike the Russian and German dark psytrance, South African psytrance is more rhythmic with large percussion usage, melodic and danceable, yet keeps the nasty-like attitude although it is highly influenced by full on and tribal music. It is not uncommon to see musical groups of dark psytrance musicians with South African psytrance musicians or South African psytrance tracks in dark psytrance compilation albums, and vice verse. Also, there are artists such as Shift (Chris Hoy from Cape Town, although later leaned more to full on) who combine their music with dark, or releasing tracks along with dark or dark\full on musicians (such as Psychotic Micro). The "South African sound" is not made by South African musicians only, for example the Israeli duo Abomination, the only non-South African musicians signed in the Cape Town based record label Nexus Media.
