Astral Projection are an electronic musical group producing Goa Trance music. They are based in Israel. Its members are Avi Nissim and Lior Perlmutter, although they started out with Yaniv Haviv and Guy Sabbag as well. In addition to an extensive discography (mostly with their own record company, Trust in Trance, which later merged with Phonokol, although they used Transient in the very beginning and for the re-release of Trust in Trance 3 under their own name), the group has an extensive worldwide touring schedule. They have produced 9 albums, the most recent of which is Ten, released in 2004. With their fast-paced, innovative style, Astral Projection have created such hits as "Kabalah", "People Can Fly", "Mahadeva" and "Dancing Galaxy".

Astral Projection make "full-on trance" combined with goa elements today. Fans of goa-trance claim that Astral Projection has lost their distinctive sound in favor of the "full on trance" style. However, their last two tracks "Open Society" and "The Prophecy" have been greeted more enthusiastically by goa-trance fans, causing renewed interest among goa-trance fans in their new album Open Society due in 2007.
