Recommend me some nice TRANCE songs

[ImpactBreaker]

Any trance fans here?

I'm no hardcore trance fan, but I like the trance songs that really have this emotional, mysterious and even calm feeling but also has parts of hyper mood. I know little though (I can't even make the difference between the several electronic music genres that well)... I've managed to look for a few trance artists/DJs/songs but the majority of the songs were rather flat uninteresting trance imo. I don't want recommendations for ayu trance songs though. I already know which they are and if it serves for reference I love many of them like some of the trance mixes for Connected (the original mix), UNITE! (ALT+F4 mix), M (aAbove & Beyond) and Naturally (Wippenberg mixes), but since I already know them, I see no point in recommending them again. So I'm asking if people have any nice trance tracks/remix recommendations from anywhere in the world/any artist/DJ (no download links though, unless the song is fanmade or not commercially available in the US)

I personally love these tunes. Maybe hardcore trance fans might dislike them or think they're too generic or cheesy, but well, they're exactly the type of trance songs that interests me:

Damn, if you were into Hardcore/Happy Hardcore tunes I could recommend you heaps. The only trance thing I can recommend is Armin Van Buuren, he's a legend! Give him a shot.

EDIT: One of his songs; Rush Hour, you can listen to it on Youtube. http://jp.youtube.com/watch?v=39jbDTATJFQ'

It starts of slow and gets better. =D

Lol when i meant I'm not a hardcore trance fan, I meant more as in I'm not a harcore fan of trance. I was not excluding the hardcore trance genre, if there's one. If the songs are a little like the ones I pointed out (those specific ayu remixes, and the links I showed) then I'm most likely to love them.

I really liked RUSH HOUR. I had downloaded one of his State of Trance CDs last year (not sure which and from which year though) and there were some songs on it I really liked a lot, but there were also many uninteresting tracks. I'll try to look for his most famous tracks displayed on last.fm though. Thanks for the recommendation.

Your welcome! You could also try my favourite Happy Hardcore DJ - Scott Brown, he's from Scotland, but let me tell you he sure knows how to make records.

Try this song - Elysium Plus, one of his best ever records. http://jp.youtube.com/watch?v=E4JRRCJttqg

EDIT: Also, try this song by Hardcore Duo; Dougal & Gammer... http://jp.youtube.com/watch?v=SotPa-1lFPU

The original of that song is better and it's actually Happy Hardcore. I know because I listen to it! It was a classic during the 90s in UK Clubs apparently.

I LOVE this song. Not typically a huge Britney fan but this song is totally amazing.
E Nomine has some pretty good songs. They're more of a trance techno ... thing, though. Vater Unser is only of my favorites.
deadmau5 is also fantastic, but I'm not sure if it's exactly what you're looking for. 4x4=12 is Not much as far as lyrics go, but I'll usually have it playing when I'm playing WoW or League of Legends or whatever.

His stuff is incredible! "Strobe" is some sort of masterpiece, but I pretty much love all his stuff, save for a song or two here and there.

[Far Away]

OMG! I seriously love trance music so much! My very favorite song is trance! Check this song out (this is the one I was talking about). It's sooo awesome! I can listen to this song for hours and hours.

Agnelli & Nelson featuring Aureus - Holding On To Nothing

[ImpactBreaker]

sorry for the late reply guys >.< extepan's list is so huge that I'm still at 1/4 of it. Those are pretty good songs so far! i specially loved "above and beyond - Can't Sleep" (I had it here but I don't know why I didn't pay attention LOL) and "wolfsheim - Wundervoll (Blank And Jones Remix)" is awesome! I'll be looking for/downloading the remaining 3/4 of the list over the days.

ayu-mix91 recommendations would fit perfectly for a time attack spinning session! They're quite fast and full of energy! makes me wanna jump non-stop

Wow, that's pretty cool stuff! Thanks for the recommendation! I'll definitely search for that song here.

[Far Away]

Oh, you're welcome! If you like the song, I've got it uploaded here!

Some nice recommended tracks above. For more of the uplifting trance sound, check out the Anjunabeats record label. Other Above & Beyond and OceanLab tracks, such as "Alone Tonight" and "Satellite" respectively, might be to your liking.

[IYFreak]

I'm looking for the same thing ImpactBreaker is looking for. Can anyone recommend any trance that sounds alittle similar to Connected.

[CHE.R.RY]

I don't know if you completely would consider this trance or dance, but it's kind of a mix of both. But I suggest Miracle by Cascada, and she has some other interesting music too. I recommend her if you haven't listened to her already.

I also recommend Take me away by 4 Strings.

EDIT: Oh another good one from 4 Strings, Fly Away.

[AyumiSEASONS]

Listen to Anything by Cosmic Gate. They are amazing.

I second this. My #1 trance group.

[rusuke]

Above and Beyond mixes are really good!!!!!

Yes, I was going to mention Above & Beyond! I was wondering why anyone would know them because they're a tiny British duo, but then I remembered. Duh.

Above & Beyond tiny? To what? J-Pop fans? ._.

And then I saw this part. Above & Beyond are definitely not a tiny trio. In Europe's EDM scene at least. I wish they where more popular over here in America. Actually, I wish Trance in general was more popular over here... And not this David Guetta **** that masquerades as 'Trance music'. Real Trance like AVB, A&B, and SoundLift. ((Nothing against David but his stuff ain't Trance.))

[AyuRox]

I like trance, sorta... ok, not really. I like some of the derivitives of trance, but not trance...

But when it comes to dance music in general, to find more of something you like, look up the remixer's original works. So if you haven't already, you should look up Ferry Corsten/System F, Airwave, Moogwai, Above & Beyond, and Wippenberg. This applies to any remixer. And it can apply the other way around. Meaning if you like an artist's original works, you'll probably like their remixes.

You can look up all of the Ayu Trance remixers too. They're all really well-known trance artists.

I also totally suggest you check out the radio station WoeD at http://woed.de/ (its only availible outside of Germany by internet stream) That radio station is where i get a lot of my dance music from.

Personally, I'm a fan of Hands-Up and I dabble in Jumpstyle and Electro. Maybe you should check out artists like TUNE UP!, ROB MAYTH, Pulsedriver (which has some hands up), Alex M. vs. Marc Van Damme, Megara vs. DJ Lee, VERANO, Mainfeild, Discotronic, Dan Winter, Manian, Topmodelz (they have a lot of covers of 80's music, if you're into that kind of thing) Punkrockerz, Ultra Flirt, SIRIA, Nordic Stars, AKIRA, and, yes, the infamous CASCADA. (which, btw, Manian, SIRIA, TUNE UP!, and AKIRA are from the same djs as CASCADA.) Those are some of the Hands Up artists, but there's a ton more. As you find more remixers, you'll find which artists you like most.

Electro: Mondo, Alex M. (the electro alias of hands up artist Alex Megane), 2-4 Grooves (my favorite), Michael Mind, Dany Wild, and Phunk Foundation.

Jumpstyle (I don't know many): Rico NL, DJ Lanai, Picco vs. Jens O.
That's all I can come up with, right now. But a lot of times, singles will have a "jumpstyle mix" with no credited remixer. And the same with electro.

Pretty much every artist I just listed is availible on iTunes, so if you have it, you can look them up.

If you don't mind paying extra and waiting on shipping, you can buy some of the Quake Trance or Exit Trance compilations from YesAsia.com or Amazon.com or eBay.com.

That's pretty much everything I've got... Hope I helped!
