-- What is Trance?
Hi I am new in this board 
Who can tell me what is trance? Whats the diffenerence to house,....
Is Mauro Picotto Trance?
It would be nice if someone can explain me that!
thank you 
Trance is a genre of Electronic music that everyone on this message board loves and lives with every eyeblinking minute of thier life. Thats MY explanation of what trance is if you want to figure out what the difference between trance and house is you're going to have to develop an ear for trance, then listen to house and you'll tell the difference, its hard to explain what the difference is online. Cheers
It's hard to give exact differences between different genres of electronica, and a lot of artists (including the almighty Mauro Picotto) mix elements from several of them. My best advice is that you traverse the previous threads that asks for recommendations on dream-trance, epic-trance, progressive, techno, hard-trance, hard-house etc. and then go find some of these tracks and see if you can hear similarities and differences between the genres. And always remember that there is no universally accepted difinition of these genres, so whatever you come up with is as valid as what the rest of us can come up with.
Good luck.
On the question "what is trance" I follow dj ti�sto
his answer:
Question: Exactly what means trance to you? There's so many opinions what trance is.
For me trance is when you hear music and you forget everything around you. You forget where you are and what you're doing, you just hear the tunes.
and I already had that thought before I read it,eversince I began to listen to trance(thanx to the bonza� 5 comp.)
Thanks all! )
Heres the definition of Trance.
A hypnotic, cataleptic, or ecstatic state.
Detachment from one's physical surroundings, as in contemplation or daydreaming.
A semiconscious state, as between sleeping and waking; a daze.
I hope that helps?
I agree with my fellow tranceaddicts no matter how hard I try to explain, I dun make sense... The only way to find out is definately listening to many tunez... you can distinguish it only then and it's amazing how there's tracks that will always be hard to categorize, but we all know good music when we hear it, especially good trance
latez...
trance is....
music that takes your mind on a journey of it's own, trance can make you forget everything around you, and make you fall into this daze, so when you come back to reality-when trance stops playing, 
, your body feels so relaxed, your mind free........

Differences...
As a lot of ppl in here have quite rightly sed, the only way to get the difference between trance and house is to listen to both, and get ur own line dividing the two. Have a listen to these and you will be able to tell the difference 
Trance: Roland Kilinkenberg - Inner Laugh (James Holden Remix)
House: Fatboy Slim - Star 69
Ill warn u now, the trance tune i put there is severely fucked up u will either love it or hate it...
Peace
hope this helps
Eurodance
Well by far the most popular of the dance genres. This is what dance is really about, but the european way! Eurodance usually ranges from 120 to 140 bpm. Eurodance also goes way back to the early 90's where it began its climb to being the music being played in clubs now. Eurodance, now is known everywhere in Europe and is even getting some play time in North America. Seems like North America is just about ready to accept other music genres and not just play Alternative, Pop and Rap. However it will take some time until other more underground genres will be playing on local radio stations and sold in local music stores.
House
It has been ten years since the introduction of house music. House is a direct descendant of disco. People thought that House music was just hype and that it would disappear as fast as it appeared. However then the music reinvented itself, and then again and again until it gradually dawned on people that house wasn't just another phase of club culture, it was club culture, the continuing future of dance music. The reason? It's simple. People like to dance to house.
Trance - my favourite genre :-)
Trance evolved from German Techno, using the rolling bass and sizzling keyboards of techno to give the music a hypnotic flowing effect, yet retaining all the driving, pulsating energy of it's true techno roots. Trance music is very relaxing and has a very nice melody. Trance music usually ranges from 128 to 150 bpm.
Happy Hardcore (rave)
Happy Hardcore, a style of techno music that is very fast, very bouncy and just plain happy . It's extremely high-energy and when you dances to it, you feel almost like a puppet on strings moving uncontrolably to the music with your hands in the air and a smile on your face! It's origins date back to the early '90s in the UK to what is now know as old school hardcore. Typical characterists of happy hardcore music are: fast repetitive drum beats usually (but not always) lots of piano and female vocals. Happy hardcore runs at 160-180 bpm.
