Trance Genres
There are 7 main genres of trance music that people refer to:
All trance music shares certain characteristics, which can be taken as a definition of trance music: It is based on a
mixture of melodies and beats, the bpm is usually between
130 and 140 (some would say 125 to 145), and the musical form builds up and down throughout the track.
On Facebook
The left & below links show 4 trance genres:
