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!

It’s a trance track with a strong techno presence.

The four-on-the-floor kick is emphasized, but it doesn’t feel overbearing—that’s one of the song’s strengths.

The melodious rhythm draws you into its world, and there’s a sense of message behind it.

It makes you want to move your body.

SoundLift – Horizonte (Andy Blueman Remix)

Horizonte (Andy Blueman Intro Mix)SoundLift

From the intro, I felt as if I were listening to ambient music that evokes grand, natural scenery.

As the mood shifts, a melodic, trance-like sound emerges that I think brings a sense of calm.

It transforms the worldbuilding from images of nature into a more fantastical atmosphere.
