R.I.P. Trance music

The melodic, baleric and lasttly, generic, genre of trance music passed away in the year of 2010 at a uknown age after several years of illness. Trance music will always hold a special place in our hearts, but will not be missed thanks to uncreative artists.

At a young age, trance music was a fresh breath of air in a rock and pop world. It was breaking the “rules” of music and was raised by persons such as Astral Projection, Dance 2 Trance, Orbital, Oliver Lieb and Sven Väth. Trance music was breaking grounds at a age when it still was wearing diapers – just like the people who listened to it eventually needed after subcombing to the chemical usage.

Trance music quickly grew up, but experienced a troublesome time. It was struggling to find its place in this world and trailed a lot of paths trying to find itself. Hard trance, progressive trance, baleric trance, club trance (?) was some of the ways trance tried to find it´s path. Trance even joined dance music, and after this trance never was the same again.
