It uses a very distinctive [[bass (sound)|bass]] beat that pounds constantly throughout the song and overlays the bass with varying rhythms drawn from [[funk music|funk]], [[techno]], [[dance music|dance]], [[acid house]], [[eurodance]] and [[trance music|trance]] using drums and other instruments. The different leads, rhythms and beats generally change every eight [[Bar (music)|bars]].<ref>[http://www.moodbook.com/music/trance.html Trance music. A definition of genre.] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080319084451/http://www.moodbook.com/music/trance.html |date=19 March 2008 }}. Retrieved 25 May 2013.</ref> Layering is used to create effect in psychedelic trance, with new musical ideas being added at regular intervals, often every four to eight bars. New layers will continue to be added until a climax is reached, and then the song will break down and start a new rhythmic pattern over the constant bass line. Psychedelic trance tracks tend to be six to ten minutes long. This includes a developed and atmospheric introduction, and a breakdown in the middle of the track of around 30 seconds to over a minute.<ref>Easwaran, Kenny.
