Juno Reactor

Juno Reactor are easily the most well-known, ambitious, and musically diverse act associated with the Goa trance scene. They are renowned for their exploratory, genre-fusing recordings and spectacular, circus-like performances that incorporate colorful costumes, ecstatic dancing, and live instrumentation, particularly tribal drumming. They have also contributed music to numerous films and video games, and have amassed a large global fan base among ravers, industrialists, cinephiles, and gamers. Debuting with the 1993 acid trance touchstone Transmissions, they reached a wider audience with 1997's Bible of Dreams, and continued exploring international influences on albums like 2000's Shango. 2013's The Golden Sun of the Great East and 2018's The Mutant Theatre resembled cinematic updates of the band's early Goa releases. Juno Reactor looked back on their early success with the 2024 box set Imagination, Use It as a Weapon.
