TRANCE NEVER DIES In closing, Markus explains why trance seemingly never dies, even if other genres and sub-genres of dance appear, disappear, re-appear, and so forth. “It’s a very adaptable style for one, as witnessed by its many sub and micro-genres. It’s often very ‘musical’ too - relative to some other EDM sub-genres, anyway. The use of melody and harmony means, in addition to its instantaneous instant impact, it leaves more of a subconscious impression.
That gives it longer-term appeal; has more people returning time and time again to its tracks. I’d also say its sense of community - the whole ‘family’ movement - has played a large part. I feel it’s a combination of all those aspects wrapped up together,” Markus concludes. Check out our review of Scream on the album review pages.
