‎For some reason, some people tend to be very negative about trance in particular. I think “trance” as a genre has been declared “dead” by these people and the press for the 6th time now. And yet, it remains to be the most popular genre in dance music. In fact, in my experience, trance has never been bigger as it is right now! Maybe this is because several people have very different definitions of the genre “trance”. Some people consider “trance” to be similar to “commercial” or “cheese”. For me trance is the only genre that isn’t a prisoner of it’s own style. People that like real trance, are very open minded to all kinds of dance music. For example, I play a lot of records that are labelled “progressive” or “techno” in my recordstore. Trance to me is a journey through different kinds of dance music, not the formularic crap some call “trance”. Trance is part of modern day music now. Face it.
