Its subgenres include techno, house, trance, dubstep and psytrance. All of these have the shared goal of getting the body moving and transporting the senses into trance-like states.<sup>1<\/sup><\/strong><\/p>\n<h2><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-8784\" src=\"https:\/\/www.securetec.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/EDM-Party_3x2.jpeg\" alt=\"EDM Nachtclub, Rave mit vielen Leuten, Musik, Festival\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" \/>Subgenres: techno, house, trance\u00a0&#038; co.<\/h2>\n<p>Techno is characterised by driving, repetitive beats and minimalist sounds, and has been strongly influenced by the German band Kraftwerk. House is loved for its funky, warm grooves and distinct soul influences. Trance is based on melodic, atmospheric sounds that create emotional soundscapes. Dubstep is known for its powerful, bassheavy drops and is particularly popular in the urban scene. And psytrance takes listeners into colourful, ever-changing worlds of sound with deep basslines.<\/p>\n<h2>Ecstasy at the heart of both the party\u00a0&#038; research<\/h2>\n<p>The idea of EDM without ecstasy is barely imaginable as there are few drugs that have been so intrinsically linked to this scene. Since the 1980s, MDMA, also known as ecstasy or molly, has established itself as the heartbeat of the rave (EDM dance party) culture, transporting people into states of euphoria with extreme dance energy and feelings of openness and connectedness towards others. MDMA heightens social bonds, makes music feel more intense and promotes emotional closeness. For many people, a rave is a kind of collective trance, where music, light and bodies all fuse together. But the downside is real: overdoses, dehydration and risky polysubstance use\u00a0\u2013 especially in conjunction with alcohol\u00a0\u2013 are far from rare.<sup>2<\/sup> Almost half of all negative drug experiences at EDM events can be attributed to polydrug use. Many festivals are therefore using drug checking stations and educational initiatives to minimise risks. One such example is the Berlin drug-checking project that has been anonymously testing pills and powders since 2023. Almost half of the samples tested between June 2023 and spring 2025 contained impurities or were abnormally strong\u00a0\u2013 in many cases, ecstasy. Striking results frequently led to drugs not being taken, which shows how well prevention works.<sup>3<\/sup><\/p>\n<h2>Psytrance: modern-day hippies<\/h2>\n<p>Psytrance is a relaxed corner of the EDM world. With its roots in Goa\u2019s hippy movement, LSD and magic mushrooms dominate this genre, which is less about turbo-charged ecstasy and more about a spiritual journey. Most events are held in ritual community settings.<sup>4<\/sup> By comparison, mainstream EDM is often a high-speed trip with higher doses and risky polysubstance use.<sup>5<\/sup> As such, even today\u2019s hippies are generally well-behaved.<\/p>\n<h3>From Woodstock to the Ozora Festival:<\/h3>\n<p>In 1969, White Rabbit rang out as an anthem for love, peace and LSD. Today, it lives on in psytrance versions as an expression of the ongoing hippy era.<\/p>\n<h2><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-8785\" src=\"https:\/\/www.securetec.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Psychodelischer-menschlicher-Kopf-mit-magic-mushrooms-nach-EDM-Konsum_3x2.jpeg\" alt=\"Lebendige psychedelische Erfahrung: Ein Mensch, der nachts in die Welt der DMT-Zauberpilze und der halluzinogenen Psilocybin-Kunst eintaucht\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" \/>Drugs in EDM songs \u2013 beats and images<\/h2>\n<p>From subtle to striking: in techno and house, allusions to ecstasy and co. flash up more or less hidden, for example in DJ Koze\u2019s \u2018XTC\u2019 or The Horrorist\u2019s \u2018One Night in New York City\u2019. Trance prefers to involve metaphors of \u2018other worlds\u2019, which represent both raves and trips. Psytrance delves into atmospheric-spiritual images of synaesthesia, aliens, mushrooms and mandalas (see illustration). The bottom line is that the depiction of drugs within the scene fluctuates between euphoric transfiguration and reflective warning.<\/p>\n<h2>Music and intoxication\u00a0\u2013 boundless diversity<\/h2>\n<p>No music genre has a monopoly: whether techno, rock or hip-hop, the link between certain drugs and certain styles of music is just a kind of guideline. In today\u2019s music world, diversity rules the night! All genres have one thing in common: it is the music that attracts people to music events, not the drugs.<sup>6<\/sup><\/p>\n<\/div><\/section>\n<div  class='hr av-mov5aaik-363acb39319f365cd5a69f2c80e5ab7c hr-default  avia-builder-el-3  el_after_av_textblock  el_before_av_one_full '><span class='hr-inner '><span class=\"hr-inner-style\"><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<div  class='flex_column av-eyv81-d588b792ad8186fd120ee0b8c2ca6147 av_one_full  avia-builder-el-4  el_after_av_hr  el_before_av_hr  first flex_column_div  '     ><section  class='av_textblock_section av-mov5ctsx-7c9aeb5b4c5ee5120321bd2159460879 '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/BlogPosting\" itemprop=\"blogPost\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><h3>MDMA: the party drug\u2019s wild journey<\/h3>\n<p>Ecstasy (MDMA) first appeared in 1912 as an inconspicuous byproduct when attempts were made to develop a new production process for the haemostatic drug Hydrastinine. Alexander Shulgin was the first to discover its intoxicating eff ect in the 1960s and brought it into the limelight in the 1970s. In the 1980s and 90s, ecstasy exploded in the US and European rave scene and became a cult party drug. The myth that MDMA was invented as an appetite suppressant has long been disenchanted. Today, MDMA provides plenty of food for discussion both in the field of research and among society\u00a0\u2013 from hopeful prospects for therapies to risk factor.<sup>7<\/sup><\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div>\n<div  class='hr av-mov5aggn-79ed58e5f5385f4442c49e04185d8c0c hr-default  avia-builder-el-6  el_after_av_one_full  el_before_av_textblock '><span class='hr-inner '><span class=\"hr-inner-style\"><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-mgq73xbs-79a3f63826174ec692b2805dbdc9bdef '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/BlogPosting\" itemprop=\"blogPost\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-397 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.securetec.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/drugwipe-s605g-300x69.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"69\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.securetec.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/drugwipe-s605g-300x69.png 300w, https:\/\/www.securetec.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/drugwipe-s605g-768x176.png 768w, https:\/\/www.securetec.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/drugwipe-s605g-705x161.png 705w, https:\/\/www.securetec.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/drugwipe-s605g.png 900w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element\">\n<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>DrugWipe\u00a06\u00a0S\u00a0\u2013 6 drug groups in 5 minutes<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Just ask \u2013 we\u2019re always happy to help.<\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/section>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-mov6k6yq-215c0e1c3bb1b2a96fecf62b4b64b902\">\n#top .hr.hr-invisible.av-mov6k6yq-215c0e1c3bb1b2a96fecf62b4b64b902{\nheight:50px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='hr av-mov6k6yq-215c0e1c3bb1b2a96fecf62b4b64b902 hr-invisible  avia-builder-el-8  el_after_av_textblock  el_before_av_textblock '><span class='hr-inner '><span class=\"hr-inner-style\"><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-mgq74rwv-733d86075c1dc42cf1b484035af5c29f '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/BlogPosting\" itemprop=\"blogPost\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p><span style=\"font-size: 8pt;\">References:<br \/>\n<sup>1<\/sup> Newson, M. et al.
