IMO, Paul van Dyk's last great trance track. Evolution was a bonus track from the 2012 album Evolution. It's not even listed in the official tracklist, and I'm guessing this happened because PvD/Vandit couldn't clear the rights for the sample in this track. As far as I know, the riff is from a...

We might as well have a space where you can drop off your random, music-related thoughts! Chase Childhood Monsters is one of Airwave's hardest tracks, and it's too bad that it only has maybe 1.5k listens total on YouTube. It's an undiscovered masterpiece.

Every now and them you run into a steroid trancer that... actually sounds nice to hear and feels old-school. This track would have been at home in 2008-2010 trance DJ sets. I like how it has a simple but catchy melody and a decent ambiance. The producer clearly put in a lot of effort in the...

I never post in this section, so I hope I wrote the title in the correct format? Just ran into this album from a super obscure producer and thought it fit with this forum's musical taste. It has the exact same aesthetic as early to mid-90s trance, which is pretty cool and crazy to hear in 2022...

A surprisingly enjoyable track by Askew. It sort of builds upon the ideas of his Stresstest remix with his early 2000s work for a party/festival track that is just nice to hear without feeling overwhelming or overly dramatic.

Found this track while looking for "chill trance." Although it doesn't fit the style of that thread, it's still awesome. Love to hear the more melodic, morning-style of progressive psytrance.

It's insane that trance this good was released in 2010. BTW, 20-12 is the alias of Andy Falconer, the studio engineer who worked with The Orb in the early 90s (of "Little Fluffy Clouds" fame). Fumanchu is the last track of 20-12's 2010 album Necessary Means. It's straightforward but engaging...

The best track from Ferry's 2017 album Blueprint. No vocals, no Gouryella, just proper modern trance the way it should be.

imo one of the most impressive progressive psytrance tracks ever made. From Solar Field's 2007 album EarthShine. Spectral Nation has an interesting arrangement with hints of ambient, but suddenly it eschews the ambiance in favor of straightforward, full-on psytrance. It feels like two competing...

Simon Patterson's masterpiece. I'm not even kidding. To me, this is Simon's best work. You can tell that he poured all of his emotions into this track. I don't know what he was going through at the time. I don't know why it's "just" a b-side, why it never really received DJ support (unlike...

Energetic and also somber/melancholic progressive trance from one of the best American producers: Solex remix: This one is harder and techier

I've always had a soft spot for trance-y remixes of Nadia Ali, and this remix of Call My Name is no exception. I think it's a very good track Unfortunately her singing during the buildup is much more interesting than during the climax. I do like how her vocals fit around the track, though...

Commercial psytrance from the time commercial psytrance was actually awesome.. HQ version from Raja Ram's Stashbag 3 Album Sampler 2 Full version in lower quality: The sample is from Tribalistas - Ja Sei Namorar [2002], a big hit in Brazil that was even featured in FIFA 2004.

Atmospheric, progressive trance created by a Berklee-educated Japanese electronic music producer.

Euro house / progressive trance crossover. Ran into it while putting together the Spotify trance classics list and thought it was worth posting on this forum! Like the dreamy vibes

Recently I've been using Spotify to listen to music, esp. while driving. Figured, why not do it for trance? Since old trance is a bit obscure, it's possible some trance classics are not available on Spotify at all. The following tracks are not available. Youtube uploads will have to do...

I posted this one back when the new trancefix website was rolled out, but I guess it was wiped off. Promoted by Ektoplazm, a now-inactive site that used to share various types of psytrance and goa trance. Aesop's Myth is a nice progressive trance tune which flew under the radar. It does not...

In other genres of music (like pop), scandals can make or break artists' careers. I was wondering, did trance ever have any "scandals"? Or is the most scandalous thing that DJs/producers ever did was use ghost producers? Maybe someone took credit for someone else's work? I want to know, dang it

One of the best tracks from Etnica's 1995 album The Juggling Alchemists Under the Black Light. Love the nearly 4:30 minutes intro and how the track keeps building. Definitely one to listen entirely from start to finish.

The second track from their album Classical Mushroom. It definitely has a "build-up" vibe, which makes it a fantastic track to begin a set following a solid intro. Excellent use of guitars. Probably one of the best uses of guitars in trance that doesn't sound cheesy or commercial. Great dark...
