Giuseppe Ottaviani feat Faith - Angel (Mark Eteson and Ben Nicky Dub)
(fyi: A "dub" is a remix where they take out all or almost all the vocals)
Note: The part of the piece I here want to share ends at 3:58. After that it's completely
different
(harsh,
edgy,
&
rough) & exists only for the dj to mix to transition to the next piece. It's not meant to be listened to on its
own; instead, to be heard with the intro/buildup of another piece superimposed.
The left & below links show 4 trance genres:
- Uplifting/Anthem Tr.
- Progressive Trance - Vocal Trance - Balearic Trance
(Within these, trance producers
often merge trance with house,
jazz, ambient, classical, indie,
electro, psy-trance, pop, hip-
hop, techno, alt., Euro/HiNRG,
Latin, chill-out, or downtempo.)
