This library is your pass to the world of trance sounds from the mid-90s to the present day. Trance was formed as a style in 1992, the center of Trance music were Germany and Belgium (German labels Eye Q, MFS, Belgian R&S). The peak of Trance was in 1993-1994. But by 1995 it had practically disappeared, giving way to various forms of hard trance and Goa.
Trance is characterized by a straight, light rhythm in the range of 126-145 bpm, pronounced keyboard and string themes. As a rule, it is quite melodic, although as a rule it is built on the repetition of one musical phrase. This music does not aim to introduce the listener to the state of Trance at all, although it would seem that the name of this style obliges us to do so. Trance is quite calm, sometimes even a little sad music. Often universal in terms of danceability – can be played both on the dance floor and in a chillout.
