90-93, a time when Rave / Dance music was still in it’s experimental faze, before everything had to be pigeon holed and set to specific genre defining, painting by numbers, generic boring rules. This mix looks at the beginning of the trance movement and samples some classic tracks that even if they’re not strictly purist trance (I’m sure there’s techno and a hint of hardcore in there) really did help define the direction of trance music to come.
Now we have a dozen and one styles of trance, club, progressive, acid, hard, vocal.....
This mix highlights tunes that helped develop all those subgenres. You’re going to hear some mad acid lines, epic sweeping pads off beat bass and if you listen to the final tune in it’s entirety some vocals that will take you into that euphoric state that only epic trance can – no drugs required.
