Yoo, 2025 was another banger year for psychedelic videos, art, and music. We here at daily psychedelic video dot com have been sifting through thousands of videos to bring you our top 10 picks of the year!
Kicking off this list, and released in just days into 2025 is Panda bear with Ferry Lady. This one explores an uncanny valley of faces being reimagined with some very weird and unsettling additions. Still, the flowly, airy sounds of panda bear carry you nicely through a sea of imaginative. You may remember Panda bear from the video titled Boys Latin released, wow, over 10years ago, feat on adult swim before too i believe. Glad to see they’re still putting out cool stuff.
Close your eyes and enjoy the smooth psychedelic soft rock musuic of mcbaise and their video – Alice. Not to be confused with the animator who made this video named mcbess. You may remember them for some other videos like Waterslide and Shes a Big Boy. Theyve always got this great rubberhose cartoon aesthetic that works really well with the music. Boy, is it smoooooth!
Up next is Moonclipse-Dunya, the Terra & Omiki Remix. This was one of my favorite psytrance videos this year. The tribal energy, the sounds, and the beat-matched deforum zoom create quite an epic journey.
I’m a big big fan of diverse art mediums, so i wanted to include my favorite stop motion video this year – Muedra. There’s some super cool techniques and ideas here. I especially love seeing both stop motion and time lapse working together, it’s very surreal.
Up next is Justice and Tachyons+ with Afterimage. Tachyons+ is a legend in the analog video scene, so when i saw he was teaming up with french edm duo Justice, i knew it was going to be an epic collab. Justice has a really retro synthy style that fits perfectly with the analog, circuit-bent work of tachyons+. Tachyons+ makes a ton of their own gear and tooling, it’s all wicked cool nerdy electrical engineering. If you dig that retro analog style, you gotta check this one.
Come on, if you don’t know Kurzgesagt by now, here’s your chance to get in! They make so many mind-blowing educational videos, mostly on science concepts that can really help expand your perspective. The animation is top notch and they are so easily digestible. This one in particular focuses on neuroscience and is just really fun to get lost in.
Super unknown video here by Tulpa, not even 400 views at time of recording, but one of my favorites of the year. And I know videos with quick cuts have come under a lot of criticism lately, for how the fast pacing doesn’t let your mind linger on specific thoughts for too long, and I mostly agree, BUT… I think there’s something to be said for the overall, journey or adventure that is that kind of video offers, especially as it relates to the psychedelic experience. So, I don’t always look for overstimulation in my videos, but when I do, this has got to be one of my favorites.
Up next is the video Parallel Reality by Tetouze or Tetouzee? Anyways Tetouze has been on our radar for a little while now. But They’ve really stepped up the video releases this year with the help of some surreal ai tools and shamanic visions. I mean, there was a few I could choose to put here, but I’m going to go with this one called Parallel Reality. I really like this surreal imagining of digital shamanism.
Yooo Zeds Dead is back with Channel Flipping two – titles Only You. ZD hitting the list 2 years in a row with their channel flipping series. Just absolutely beautiful, frisson, mangifique, wondershern, utsukushii, nostalgic, hopeful, powerful, uniting. I’ve gotta say, I think I’ve watched this more than any other video this year. And I won’t spoil the big drop for you here cause it’s just magic and you should experience it for yourself. Many a tear has been shed watching this, I hope you get something out of it 🙂 I’d love to change the world, but I don’t know what to do, so i leave it up to you…
At number one we have Igorrr with ADHD. God this video and music are absolutely bonkers. After Igorrr and meat dept. teamed up for “Very Noise” I didn’t think the combo could get any crazier, but boy was i wrong. Using new AI tools, they explore a whole host of new ways to tickle your brain using sights and sounds. I mean this isnt even the craziest part. I’ll leave that one for you to discover.
Haha listen to this description of the genre of music that Igorrr makes – Black metal baroque breakcore triphop… And uhh yeah I think agree with that description lol. Absolute madmen, i love every second of this. I’m putting this at the top of the list cause it’s the weirdest, most poignant, expression of art I’ve seen this year. I think it describes something so difficult to put into words. But most of all, it just tickles really good.
Anyways, I hope you had a good year in 2025, wherever you are, whenever you are. I hope you can find a little time to relax and enjoy some of the amazing video, art, and music that was created this year. Don’t forget to love each other and Ill catch ya next year! From all of us at Daily Psychedelic video dot com, have a great year, and don’t forget to enjoy it because… ITS JUST A RIDE!
