Trance

Edit your station name:

This is a station exploring Trance. Anthemic build-ups, arpeggiated synths and driving drumbeats. Themes fade in and out as they evolve throughout the musical piece. Trance songs are often found in clubs and are easy to dance to. These songs tend to be very long and feature dynamic female or occasionally male vocals; however the vocals always play a background role, if any. Typical trance songs found on my station will feature:


trance roots
