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!

A baseline that would also work in psytrance.

It’s a track whose appeal lies in its stoic melody line with a somewhat clean vibe, the expansive, grand sound unique to trance, and a build-up that steadily rises.

If you focus only on the sub-bass and kick that occupy the low end, it can even sound techno-like.

The cool sand color might be one of the factors that hints at that as well.

The intro feels closer to goa trance than psychedelic.

The repetitive rhythm is a bit monotonous, but combined with the synthesizer’s distinctive gentle atmosphere, it creates a soothing space.

The BGM is a little fast, but the female vocals feel nice.
