Across all the EDM sub genres and others, our team likes Trance the most, as we completely agree Trance is really for the dreamers. We are really and highly inspired by Trance sounds and we get goosebumps every now and then when we hear melodies like Anahera, Neba, Great Spirit, We Are and many many more.

It doesn’t mean we don’t like other genres at all, but its like a mental state of peace for us where you put on music and you are completely in different zone or different planet where there is nothing but the happiness, pure HAPPINESS 🙂 🙂

Today we would like to take you on a magical voyage, if you can close your eyes and feel it, then trust us, there is no other feeling apart from that, a blissful moment of sheer joy and euphoria.

Before even beginning, we would really like to give a tight slap to all those haters who says Trance is dead and instead likes those EDM shit, so if you are one of those wannabe EDM fan, you can simply close this page as there is nothing for you here at all.

2016 was a great year, especially for Trance, therefore we are putting down 15 trance tracks which made us dance and laugh but not listened by many of our listeners.

The order of these tracks has nothing to do with ratings/rankings or anything, its just the way we put it, so clearly NO OFFENCES 🙂
Here we go.

15) Beautiful release on “Ferry Corsten”‘s record label “Flashover Recordings”, “Dopamina” by “Dim3nsion” is one true tune which can refill your moments of joy if you are lost or sad. Those sounds right after the epic breakdown, fuckin crazy…

14) This one is on “Above & Beyond”‘s record label “Anjunabeats”. A really beautiful and epic collab by two heavyweights in the business “Ilan Bluestone” & “Maor Levi”. Track title “Dynamic” completely justifies with the beats and music they have put together.

13) One of the true Trance daddys of all time Mr “Paul van Dyk”‘s 2016 was like a second life by God to him after the terrible accident he had at ASOT750 Utrecht later this year. His fellow colleagues “Armin van Buuren”, “Ferry Corsten”, “Markus Schulz”, “Cosmic Gate”, “Alex M.O.R.P.H”, “Giuseppe Ottaviani” never left support when he needed the most.
So the next one is from van Dyk’s record label “Vandit Records”, a massive tune by Mr “Alex M.O.R.P.H” – “Not All Superheroes Wear Capes”. Its also the album title by the man himself.
One speciality of this track is, its breakdown, if you really want to feel it, simply close your eyes, look to the sky and you don’t need any drug/alcohol to get high.

12) Another track from the same album and same record label in fact, but this time Mr Alex teamed up with Vandit daddy, yes Mr “Paul van Dyk”. Really energetic track and also for the information, this track landed at #23 at ASOT Top 25 tunes of 2016. Track is titled as “We Are”.

11) Italian trance producer and a good friend of PvD, Mr “Giuseppe Ottaviani” released his 3rd studio album this year, named as “ALMA”.
According to him the name is amalgamation of his kids names “Alessandro” & “Matteo”. The title track is simply good enough to wipe you off your feet.
If you were there at Electric Daisy Carnival – India in Nov 2016, then you might knew this one as “Ferry Corsten” started his set with some intro edit of this track at “Dreamstate” stage of EDC India.

10) 2016 was a big year for “Ferry Corsten” as he did several “Gouryella” shows with huge support of fans and tremendous success. In this very year only he produced follow up to his last year’s “Gouryella” track titled “Anahera”.
“Anahera” was crowned Tune of The Year 2015 on ASOT Top 20 tunes of 2015. Here’s the follow up to it, titled as “Neba”.

9) This one is coming directly from “Markus Schulz”‘s record label “Coldharbour Recordings”. “Cygnus” by “Novaspace” is a really good one and you can hear in almost every set by Ferry or Markus, and from other artists as well.
Also played by Markus at Electronic Daisy Carnival – India.

8) Remember that classic by “Yahel & Eyal Barkan” – “Voyage”?? “Aly & Fila” were dropping some ID remix of this one in almost every set whether it be Tomorrowland or their recently open to close 8 hour solo set.
This ID remix has been revealed now, its by none other than but Mr “Omar Sherif”.
Catch this banging remix.

7) We discovered this one in one of the vlogs by “Armin van Buuren” during his “Armin Only – Embrace” tour and since then completely in love with it.
“Allen & Envy” – “Uriel”.

6) How many of you know “Real Trance Family” ??
Ok, let us give it to you, a family from Belfast is famous for creating and uploading innovative videos with Trance music, and with this unique and innovative style of them, they already have huge fan following on their fb page called “Real Trance Family”, and even they are meeting artists and legends like “Ferry Corsten”, “Armin van Buuren” are just to name a few.
In one of their videos, they tried to show as kids can’t go to “Dreamstate”, so let “Dreamstate” come to their house. And then Mr “Ben Nicky” played this track “Hectic” for kids in their house, what an amazing moment and video it was.

5) “Steve Helstrip” better known as “The Thrillseekers” released his first studio album this year titled as “Escape” and every single track is a gem.
We really liked “Amber” from it, and trust us, if you have these kind of tunes to rock your ears, you definitely don’t need any drug/alcohol to get high.
In one simple word, it is “EARGASM”, breakdown is truly epic, and its no surprise that beauty like this, landed on #6 on ASOT Top 25 tunes of 2016.

4) After spending so many good years with “Anjunabeats” and giving massive hits like “Elektra”, “Irufushi” and many many more, finnish trance duo “Super8 & Tab” decided to move their career from “Anjunabeats” to “Armada”.
Onto “Armada” they gave many hits like “Mega”, “Nino” and many more but our personal favorite is “Into”.

3) We are really running short of words for this BEAST. Mr “Simon Patterson” at his very best, track it titled as “Evoke”.
If melody and beats like these can’t make you tap your feet then we really wonder what will??

2) We must admit “Aly & Fila”s record label “Future Sound Of Egypt” has really talented artists, coz each track from this label comes like a pearl.
“Fady & Mina” – “Wonder Why” is destroying every single dancefloor across the world where so ever it has been dropped.

1) This one coming straight from german duo “Cosmic Gate”‘s upcoming album “Materia”.
The first single from this album, vocals by amazing and talented “JES”, titled as “Fall Into You”.
That amazing sick bassline, wooaahhhhhh…
Album is all set to release on Jan 17, 2017 and we can’t wait to get our hands on it.
