Etnica is a Milanese goa/psytrance project that came together in the early 1990s when Max Lanfranconi, Maurizio Begotti, Carlo Paterno and Andrea Rizzo crossed paths on the Italian rave circuit. Now an Ibiza-based duo of Lanfranconi and Begotti, they are widely regarded as architects of the goa trance sound, with 'Alien Protein' (1996) among the genre's most celebrated albums. Under the alias Pleiadians, all four members released the landmark album 'IFO' (1996), which remains a touchstone of psychedelic trance.
Etnica released the anniversary edition '30 Years' on Suntrip Records on April 4, 2025 - a 3-CD/2-LP box with remastered 'Alien Protein', remastered singles and previously unreleased tracks.
Etnica participated in Suntrip Records' compilation 'Suntrip Classix, Vol. 3 - Gaia', released on October 5, 2024.
Etnica appeared on the compilation 'Psytrance Treasures 2024', released on August 23, 2024 on Fresh Frequencies.
Classic Goa Trax (a sublabel under Suntrip Records) released 'Single Collection' with remastered Etnica classics from the 1990s on January 3, 2024.
