Trance; life; clubbing
Though I wouldn't go as far as saying trance music /saved/ my life, it's definitely a lifeline for me.
I discovered it as soon as I started discovering good music, and alongside many other discoveries in college, when I finally had room to expand myself into that wasn't space taken up by all the things my parents wanted for me.
Trance music can be a communal tribal experience, a connection, a wonder.
Except in America apparently.

@emanate I’ve been thinking about this too, because i think Trance was the first time i “felt” emotion in music to the extent that i do.
It was the first time i felt magically and happily -guided- by music. Back in the day catching onto 4 Strings, ATB… i felt like it was a piece of a better place, or a better headspace, carved into the world through music.
Trance was and is always so shamelessly joyous, communal, tribal, and devoted to such -positivity-

@Oneironott Yeah. A lot of the electronic music genres have kinda rambled of in other directions; or worse, bought into the 'club life' myth and started making music /about/ that. (Okay, trance music isn't immune to that. I'm looking at you, Oakenfold.)
Most of the producers I still respect, though, are still making sappy songs about love and life and heartache and bliss. 💜💜💜
