Trance Music - some thoughts and highlights

Paar Gedanken zu Trance Musik und mehr

Wer mich kennt weiss welche Musik ich persönlich mag - sei es Rock / Metal / Techno / House / Trance - werd jetzt auch nicht verlinken, was ich gemacht hab - ich bin stolz die ersten Music Communtiy auf der Chain erstellt zu haben, läuft nicht immer ruckelfrei, wir sind auch nicht auf Lobby Trip um Delegations zu bekommen, aber ist ok - man könnte mehr machen was Contests / Days etc angeht, aber da fehlt mir schlichtweg die Zeit - dankbar dem tollen @ylich an meiner Seite zu haben hier.

What is this guy now talking about :-)?

Folks that know me, are aware that I drive a music community for any genre since community option was avalaible on our blockchain (was before it got called Hive - also did music communities on non web3 communities before - maybe @steevc remembers this from a platform called tsu :-)!) - Some friends know me for a broader music taste, not only Techno - I love Rock from my youth - I learned about synthi early as well - like both styles - ended up to become a DJ for Techno / Trance - always having in mind to combine these different music areas - rock/metal and Techno have most in common - today I will bother you with some thoughts about Trance music - which I listen all day mainly - motivates me and also relaxes my inner Uwe if I think I am stressed

Trance - a Journey Through Sound and Soul

I've been diving deep into the roots and evolution of trance music, and I wanted to share some insights and personal reflections on this mesmerizing genre.

Origins and Evolution:

Trance music emerged in the late '80s and early '90s, blossoming from the electronic scenes of Germany, the UK, and the Netherlands. Frankfurt, in particular, played a pivotal role in shaping the early trance sound, with its fusion of techno and house influences. ([Wikipedia][1])

Subgenres and Styles:

Over the years, trance has diversified into various subgenres:

  • Goa Trance: Originating from the beaches of Goa, India, this style is known for its psychedelic elements and spiritual undertones. ([Wikipedia][2])

  • Psytrance: A derivative of Goa trance, characterized by high-tempo riffs and layered melodies. ([Wikipedia][3])

  • Progressive Trance: Emphasizes gradual build-ups and atmospheric sounds, offering a more melodic experience. ([MasterClass][4])

  • Uplifting Trance: Known for its emotional melodies and euphoric climaxes, aiming to elevate the listener's spirit.

Cultural Impact:

Trance music has not only influenced the electronic music scene but has also left its mark on global pop culture. Festivals like Tomorrowland and A State of Trance (ASOT) have brought together millions of fans worldwide, celebrating the unity and transcendence that trance offers.

Some of my favourite tunes:

1) Robert Miles from Italy - RIP

2) Scooter (no worries, no vocals by HP)

3) Three Drives (you might realize I love Ibiza style Tranced a lot)

4) Yves Deruyter (the only Dutch that made it to my shortlist)

5) Binary Finary (classic from the UK - no doubt to be here)

6) Jam and Spoon (my national choice of course 1 - but that is just a remix, original from the Benelux)

7) DJ Dag with Dance2Trance (my national choice no. 2 of course)

Personal Reflections:

For me, trance has always been more than just music; it's a journey. The way it builds, breaks, and lifts mirrors the highs and lows of life. It's a genre that speaks to the soul, offering solace, energy, and a sense of belonging.

I've penned down a more detailed exploration of trance music's history and its profound impact on my Hive blog (you have to search though between Trance, Techno, Rock Classics and Metal. If you're interested in a deeper dive, feel free to comment and discuss.

@themarkymark Calling us names doesn’t change the truth, does it, Marky? The evidence is right here for everyone to see:

The next steps are clear:

  • Turn off the Buildawhale scam farm: Buildawhale Comments
    Your actions show that you’re a parasite on the Hive blockchain, and you’re contributing to its downfall. It’s tragic because Hive hasn’t even had a real chance to shine, thanks to people like you who exploit it for personal gain. You milk the system dry, downvote whoever you want, and let your online friends suck up to you as if you’re some kind of god—LOL. But let’s be honest, you’re far from it. If anything, your behavior makes you more like a heartless devil, destroying the very community you claim to care about.

  • Stop the abusive downvotes: Buildawhale Activities

It’s time to take responsibility for your actions before you cause even more harm. The truth is out there, and no amount of name-calling or deflection will change that.

I know Scooter from the list.
Besides that, no Armin Van Buuren?

I listened to some Trance back in the days as well, no particular artists though :)

I know Armin, even saw him often and he is considered as a mster of Trance I know, to me he is more EDM, commercial Trance (which is also Trance) but I just mentioned my true Trance favourites but sure he belongs to the good and cool guys here. Even Scooter is known for HP shouting his voice in shit English (not a fan) but the other two guys do really great sounds and without voice it is really cool.

Hehe funny.
I never really searched for trance, but used to listen to edm and every once in a while some trance appeared in the lists :p
Back in the days, I missed something in Trance which I found more in edm. I don't know what exactly, don't know much about music neither. :p

Yeah - I personally do not like the hard cuts between genre however there are folks that kill me on Reddit when I talk about Techno and they say that is no Techno (in Techno we got I think 10+ different style, Trance similar). I am not that strict I just feel what I think is what but mainly love to listen to music I like no matter where "industry experts" put that in their genre - I also like EDM (haha now i also start to segemnt again lol) -when I started the music community I was doing stuff around explaining certain styles, introducing DJs mainly from Electronic Music as such (apart from my Rock thing) and talking about music scenes around the world. I stopped this after a while though - but still love the topic(s) - and the music from the Benelux is always great to me - love it (even not a Rotterdam Gabba fan).

I completely agree that music isn't about segmenting in categories. There's music of plenty of different styles I enjoy listening to. Although I nearly never 'actively' listen to music though.. 🙈

Good approach buddy - I listen to all kind of - actively in the evening when i try to create sth or make me a joyful sound carpet I am actively targetting certain sounds based on my current mood - often Techno in all its varieties or Rock stuff.
