Started working as a music writer as a side job while employed at a record shop, and for over 18 years I’ve contributed to music magazines, disc guide books, mooks, and web media. As a writer my main field is Western music, but as a listener for over 35 years, I always try to keep my curiosity alive with the motto “I like what I like.” I have experience playing in bands, where I was a bassist who handled songwriting and composition. Instruments I’ve played include bass, guitar, and piano. I began studying English in my mid-40s and continue to do so today.

Suddenly, but what kind of image do you have of the music genre called “trance”? If you’re not a fan of club or dance music, you might think it’s kind of flashy and just about getting hyped.

This article compiles a selection of beautiful trance masterpieces—dreamlike and brimming with euphoria—that we especially want those who feel the genre isn’t for them to hear.

Along with the latest noteworthy and hit tracks, we also introduce timeless classics, so take this opportunity to check them out!

Underworld is a British techno unit.

In Japan, they’re known as one of the “Four Heavenly Kings of Techno,” and this track is one of theirs.

However, this song has a trance or progressive touch.

It almost feels as if they were anticipating the birth of EDM at the time, experimentally leaning toward a big-room sound.

It was released in 2010 and became a huge hit in Japan; I remember the frenzy of hearing it played multiple times in a single night.

This track brings trance to the forefront right from the intro.

There’s a four-on-the-floor beat as well, but it doesn’t feel overly assertive.

The piece emphasizes a trance-like repeating rhythm and delivers a beautiful timbre.

The melody conveys gentleness, offering a soothing, healing feeling to listeners.

Turn It UpArmin van Buuren

A 2019 trance anthem made for sing-alongs.

It’s a solo single by Armin van Buuren, a titan of the Dutch trance scene.

The sound makes you want to blast it outdoors at massive, open-air festivals.

The bassline, driven by a triplet rhythm, is distinctive and gives it a sticky, bouncy groove.

It’s a refreshing trance track that evokes summer scenery.

The melody takes center stage, and one of the song’s characteristics is that the four-on-the-floor kick isn’t very prominent.

The female vocals overlay the melody, creating a nice harmony.

It feels like a track you’d want to listen to outside on a sunny day.

I get a sense of “wa” (Japanese harmony) from this track.

I think it’s quite rare for a trance song to evoke a Japanese aesthetic.

The taste of wa adds flavor to the trance melody and creates harmony.

It gives off a unique atmosphere that only this track can produce.
