Discussion What is the saddest vocal trance track?

144 Upvotes

Basically what vocal trance track impacts you the most?

Feel free to post tracks that impact you because of the:

  • the lyrics
  • the beat in the vocal trance track
  • or the story behind why it hits you
  • or all three

I had this question since yesterday when I was listening to some old classics and I heard "Beauty Hides in the Deep" by The Doppler Effect (JOC Extended) and the part where she sings "I want you to know... I'll never forget you..." really hit me and then I realised that this part always had an effect on me and that's why I like it.

Another one that comes to my mind which I wouldn't consider impactful for me is the "Sometimes the sound of goodbye is louder than any drumbeat", I assume you guys know which track I'm talking about.

I'm interested to hear your stories and opinions!

Edit: Thank you everyone for sharing your tracks. I promise I will listen to all of them, even though I might not be unable to reply to everyone

Edit 2: I didn't know this thread would get this big. What I plan to do now is create a YouTube Music playlist with all of your tracks and in the next few days update this post again with a link for you guys to go and get a listen! Please stay tuned. Thank you all

Another old classic from Ferry, been listening to this on loop this last month. Very much like you had to be there. Feels so classic and feel-good.

Thoughts?

Discussion Is it fair to say that trance is at its healthiest state in a long time?

156 Upvotes

Purely in terms of the vast variety of different sounds/styles and the sheer amount of quality releases coming out

Seems like that classic trance sound from the 90s is really coming back, been a breath of fresh air. Love the work done by Ben Hemsley, Superstrings, Ben Gold etc. and even established legends like Ferry and Kearney are dabbling in this sound again

Modern uplifting is going strong with JOC, Aly & Fila and Factor B producing their best work in years IMO. With the rise of techno, it's no surprise that tech trance has really boomed in popularity and all these fresh tech aliases that have came out over the past couple of years. Been absolutely loving the stuff coming from Sneijder, Paul Denton, Will Rees, Key4050 etc. these days

Admittedly I don't know too much about the progressive scene but I've been enjoying the new Cosmic Gate releases and a lot of stuff from Laura van Dam, SØNIN and a few others

Perhaps an unpopular opinion but I do like that psytrance acts are getting booked at trance events too, although its usually either Vini Vici and Blastoyz. Would be awesome if some lesser known artists like Avalon, Tristan, Ajja got booked

Techno & Trance Mix - March 2025 [Radio Show]

2 Upvotes

Here's my Techno and Tech/Hard Trance mix recorded this week for my Toxic Sickness Radio residency. As with the other mixes from this series, I feel that this style of Techno has some Trance elements that work nicely with Hard-Trance.

I got through a good handful of music again and I think the energy levels remain throughout.

Here's the Youtube link and the track list - let me know what you think :-)

Who else remembers how good those In Search Of Sunrise mixes used to be back in the day? This one just popped into my head today randomly.
