Electronic music by tag and subgenre

Seven minor keys against three majors: that is the emotional split of 'Spirit Sounds of Trance Episode 159', and it says more about how the compilation feels than any genre tag. Daniel Preston's 'Sun' opens in F minor, a...

Layla Benitez signs two of the thirteen cuts on her own Marquee Dayclub chart, and that double presence says more than any press blurb. 'Memory Leak', shared with Jono Stephenson and Henri Bergmann on Interstellar Recordings, opens the...

From 76 to 140 BPM: that is the true range hiding inside the ninth installment of the Trance Infinity series, even if most of the record lives in a far narrower band. The tempo map tells the story better than any press note: Nucrise's 'In...

Closing a record with an 'Intro Mix' is almost a structural joke: episode 158 of the Spirit Sounds Of Trance Recordings series ends where others would begin, and that circular gesture says a lot about how the full journey is built. The way...

Nineteen different labels across twenty tracks: the clearest sign that raw, deep and hypnotic trance in 2026 has no headquarters, only a network. Belters 4U is the sole repeat here —Pablo Bozzi's remix of CLOSE PROXIMITY's 'Open Up...

That KI/KI's 'Going Existential In The Rave' opens the selection at 148 BPM while Above & Beyond sit at the bottom of the range with 'Feel The Vibe' at 128 says more than any press note: no single label runs this chart —...

Twenty-five tracks make up 'Trance Infinity, Vol. 08', but its story can be told in four. The first is the opener itself: 'NIGHTSHADE' by KAEL and BLOOD MAGICK, one of only three raw/hypnotic passages on the record, 5:21 at 138...

Nine and a half minutes of acid trance at 163 BPM against a two-minute-eight flash: between 3NV3LOP3's 'Dancing On Acid' (Remix X) and Fahjah's 'Vamos' sits almost everything this eighth volume has to say. The former is...

Six cuts in C minor spread across these 25 tracks, and that stat, trivial on paper, is gold behind the decks: it lets you chain half a set without leaving the harmonic lane. Cam Lasky's 'Ghost Dubbing' opens the batch at 88 BPM, a C...

The speed ceiling of this volume arrives on track two: P4sc4l's 'Breath Of Life' runs at 141 BPM and none of the twenty-three cuts that follow ever reach it again. It's an unorthodox sequencing call —the tempo peak burns off...

From 77 to 160 BPM across twenty-five cuts: the interesting read on this volume isn't the average but how the speeds stack into clearly legible blocks — almost a sequencing manual. The centre of gravity is a 150 BPM plateau holding eight...

The tempo extremes of 'Spring Trance 2026' are settled inside the first three cuts: Forceuser's 'Beyond Horizons' sets the floor at 135 BPM in second position and, right after it, Master Beat Projekt's 'Gaia'...

There's a trap in the metadata: 'Osaka', by John Askew and DJ 34, is listed at 70 BPM. Double it and it lands right in the heart of this selection, the 140 block where main floor trance lives. Worth catching early, because these 47...

The mission begins before the peak The detail that organises Mission Underground appears at the start: Paul Oakenfold’s “Continuous DJ Mix” runs for 56:04 at 130 BPM in A minor. It is more than a prologue; it establishes a continuous frame before...
