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!

I think this track truly represents a fusion of trance and techno.

Even though the four-on-the-floor beat is front and center, it doesn’t interfere with the trance melody at all; instead, they blend together nicely.

You could call it pure trance-techno.

I feel like I’m about to be swept away by its melodious rhythm.
