Hard Trance, Uplifting, Progressive: trance is music for big feelings, with long breakdowns, bright melodies and the moment everything comes back in. Some of these DJs play the classics, others are reinventing the genre right now.
Few genres carry as many memories as trance. For a lot of people it sounds like the late 90s, rave anthems and hands in the air. The recipe has held up: a track builds tension, strips everything away in the breakdown, then brings the melody back at full force. That it works every single time is the real mystery.
Uplifting Trance takes exactly that to the extreme, euphoric and unashamed. Progressive Trance is more patient and deeper, more journey than explosion. Acid Trance lives on the squelch of a 303. And Hard Trance is faster, heavier and rougher, with sharp leads over rolling bass.
Hard trance in particular is having a comeback. Many who came to clubs through hard techno are discovering the old leads and acid lines, and in some sets the line between the two disappears completely [CHECK]. So on one floor you suddenly find people who were there twenty years ago next to people who weren't born yet.
Psytrance and Goa are their own universe, which is why they have their own page.

Mourg
Merseburg, Germany
Hi, ich bin Max, oder auch Mourg. Einen "Spitznamen" den ich nun schon seit knapp 10 Jahren mit mir trage. Vor 3 Jahren kaufte ich mir meinen ersten eigenen Controller. Doch mit der Zeit musste ein Upgrade her, wodurch mich das auflegen immer mehr in seinen Bann zog. Später kamen dann auch die ersten kleinen Auftritte auf Geburtstagen bei Freunden. Schon Zeitig zog mich Techno an. Aktuell spiele ich hauptsächlich Bounce und Tech House. Bin aber auch dabei mir Hard Techno und Drum and Bass anzueignen.
