Image
  Kaimo Kerge known as Kaimo K is an Estonian producer who has been associated with the trance scene for several years. He released his tracks on such labels as Amsterdam Trance Records, Uplift Recordings, Molekular Sounds, Mental Asylum, Silent Shore and others. He has collaborated with many artists. Kaimo shared a few points about his work. I invite you to an interview conducted only for Visions Of Trance. 1. What is trance music to you? Trance music for me is a feeling/euphoria. It really is a state (of trance) if you will. A moment where you can get lost and carried away and forget everything else. Was that too cheesy answer haha? 2. How do you perceive the state of the current trance music scene? I think the current scene is in a pretty good state at the moment. There’s plenty of newcomers who aren’t afraid to experiment and borrow sounds from other genres aswell. Of course there’s always this so called „template music“ but thats the thing with other genres aswell, right? 3. ...

Top 20 Scandinavian Trance Teams selected by Visions Of Trance

Image
I present the best top 20 bands (groups, duets) that have marked their place in the history of the Scandinavian and world trance music scene. Only projects that published at least two songs in their work were taken into account. My taste in music was decisive for the order on the list. For this reason, some groups may take a further place even though they have released more songs. The list is not rich in well-known names as in the case of countries that are pioneering trance music. However, it certainly includes some of the artists whose music you like. Has anyone significant been omitted from this list?   1. The Blizzard    2. trance[]control   3. Antiloop    4.

Image
Germany, the Netherlands and the United Kingdom are pioneers in the world of trance music. Belgium also belongs to this group. Today I present the best top 20 bands (groups, duets) that have marked their place in the history of the Belgian and world trance music scene. Only projects that published at least two songs in their work were taken into account. My taste in music was decisive for the order on the list. For this reason, some groups may take a further place even though they have released more songs. Not on the list of commercial projects. The Cape Town project was placed in the ranking, which was founded by Laurent Veronnez aka Airwave and Peter Schiettekatte aka Frederico Santini, who left this great project quite early.

And now a little fun. Today it's time to introduce your "11" best Trance music producers from Germany. This is a "historic" choice, so here is Andreas Kraemer, who is no longer related to Trance music, but focuses on techno music. I am supplementing the line-up with a "bench". :) For the sake of convenience, some of them are given surnames, and some pseudonyms. I didn't take duets into account. Of course, I encourage you to include your "golden eleven" in the commentary. 🤣🤣🤣 ⚽⚽⚽⚽⚽⚽⚽⚽⚽⚽⚽ 🥅🥅🥅🥅🥅🥅🥅🥅🥅🥅🥅 1. JAM EL MAR 2. COLD BLUE 3. MIKE KOGLIN 4. DJ WAG 5. PLASTIC ANGEL 6. MIRCO DE GOVIA 7.

Italian Team Of Trance Producers selected by Visions Of Trance

Image
Today it's time for the squad of trance music producers from Italy. The line-up is Robert Miles, who certainly should not be taken into the trance scene for many fans of electronic music. However, for some amazing hits that had elements of trance music, I decided that there would be a place for him. The Age Of Love duet deserves a mention for the great legendary classic "The Age Of Love". Due to the fact that it is a duet, I did not include him in the first line-up. I complete the line-up with a bench. In it I have included both producers from this legendary project separately. 🥅🥅🥅🥅🥅🥅🥅🥅🥅🥅🥅 ⚽⚽⚽⚽⚽⚽⚽⚽⚽⚽⚽ 1. Giuseppe Ottaviani  2. Andrea Ribeca  3.

Top 20 Asian Trance Producers selected by Visions Of Trance

Image
In the early 90's, the dance revolution swept over a large part of Europe and trance was at the forefront of the newly discovered consciousness of dance music. It has evolved to give birth to several sub-genres such as psychedelic trance, progressive trance and acid trance. He gained popularity in very remote places. Some would say that Asia was late in taking over the trance world because at first glance it would seem that very few artists were born in the region, it has never made headlines around the world, and very few areas of this culture live to this day . I decided to rank the top 20 Asian trance music producers who have or have had a significant impact on the development of trance music in this region. Thanks to these artists, the world saw that trance can be created from all kinds of cultures. You could say that Asians are madly in love with this genre of electronic music. My musical taste, releases on labels and the number of songs were decisive for my position in my ran...

The Balkan scene is a foreign spectrum for many fans of trance music. It's hard to find famous names from this region. However, there are a few projects that are worth paying special attention to. It should be noted that in this area many producers create PsyTrance. However, I admit that they develop this genre at a high level.

Trance, rooted in German techno and British rave culture, first appeared in the late 1980s and became the most popular form of electronic music in the 1990s, reaching its peak commercial success at the turn of the new millennium.

I present my ranking of the Top 10 Norwegian trance music producers. The order on the list was determined by the taste in music, releases in labels and the number of songs. The list includes three duos. Ranking of favorites who do not necessarily have to be seen as the best. I simply reach for their music and it is the closest to me. Two DJs from this country deserve a special mention. Lars Holte and DJ Stigma have released great trance compilations on CD. It is true that they were not included in the ranking, but they deserve to be mentioned because they spread trance music in their country to a large extent. Their person should be considered from the perspective of the role of a DJ rather than a producer, because the gentlemen released only a few songs.

Top 10 Spanish Trance Producers and DJ's selected by Visions Of Trance

Image
Spain has always had a deeply entrenched electronic music in its culture and we can see that in the amount of talent this amazing country has been contributing to the trance and techno scene since its inception. We live in the corporate clubbing scene, but in the last few years we have witnessed the growth of a Spanish network of DJs and producers working to refresh our perception of the club, using sounds from all over the world and pushing the scene forward. While it's always hard to draw a list like this, I have my pick of the top 10 trance music producers and DJs from this country. The place on the list was determined by my taste in music, releases on labels, released compilations and studio albums, as well as the number of songs.

Top 10 Russian Trance Producers selected by Visions Of Trance

Image
I present my ranking of the Top 10 Russian trance music producers. The order in the ranking was determined by the taste in music, releases in labels and the number of songs. There is one group in the list. The list of recognized brands from this region is missing: Bobina, Alexander Popov, Roman Messer and Aurosonic. The resignation was due to this, because the gentlemen have a large amount of vocal collaborations. I have always believed that vocals are not an essential part of trance music. Which doesn't mean I don't like him at all. Of course, there are vocal tracks that I love. I didn't find any vocal tracks that caught my attention with the mentioned producers. It is certainly a controversial choice. Everyone has a ranking. I encourage you to familiarize yourself with the works of these artists. 🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺 1. PPK 2. Sensorica 3. Slam Duck 4.
