2010. This I reckon is around the time of a divergence in sound for Trance where artists experimented just a little ….but kept it well good & interesting. Lots of these tracks on here have that sweet subtle (slightly higher pitched) uplifting atmosphere sounds & vibe I really embraced at the time and still love.
Percusive / drum beat sounds also gained a soft subtle crunchy tightness that suited well.
I know some will say it’s not trance, but…whatever it is. I loved it then and still do. (So does my synesthesia 🫶)
