We are the only website that is entirely dedicated to this beautiful genre of psy-downtempo music, we are happy to support the scene !

We started psybient.org in 2013, to become a daily source of "chill" and other mind expanding music. This project is non-commercial. Small team of volunteers, lead by Iurii Gagarin are making constant efforts to keep you updated with news of psychedelic "chill" realm. We are passionate about "chill / downtempo" music and believe that it has a positive impact on humans, music is beneficial for body, mind and spirit !
