Trance

About

Trance music is a genre of electronic dance music (EDM) that emerged in the late 1980s in Europe, particularly in Germany and the Netherlands. It is characterized by its fast tempo, typically between 120 and 150 BPM, and features repetitive melodic phrases with a build-up and breakdown structure. Trance often incorporates elements from techno, house, and classical music, creating a hypnotic and euphoric atmosphere. Trance has evolved into various subgenres, including Goa trance, progressive trance, and uplifting trance. Goa trance is known for its slow and psychedelic sound, while progressive trance emphasizes longer build-ups and softer breakdowns. Uplifting trance features euphoric melodies and anthemic choruses. Trance remains popular globally, with prominent DJs like Armin van Buuren and Tiësto contributing to its enduring appeal.
