is it trance?

I'm classifying a bunch of tracks by genre.

Here's a sample from one, I'd say it is trance because (1) it has the underlying melody from the synths and (2) the synths have that hi-NRG sound used often in trance.

Or is it house because of the drum and bassline? Whaddayathink?

Gonna keep the track ID secret as it's a promo that should not be in my greedy little hands. And the ID would probably influence your opinion.

it's all house and it all sounds a bit different

maybe you should classify your tracks based on what you feel or describe them as and not what random people call try to label them as.

It's trance in my oppinion, as with the bassline ATB used a similar method with his rework of killer.

It's the kind of Trance that died, imo...

Still sounds rather cool

Well, the sample is a bit short to be able to tell. It sees too atmospheric to be house or techno.

It's VST-trance. Sounds like Reason

Reason doesn't support VSTs.

sounds like trance to me. what song is this from?

trancey house. trouse?

i think it blurs the lines, can imagine it in both trance & house sets... perhaps *slightly* more on the trance side.

It's one of the mixes on the promo of Dannii Minogue - So Under Pressure(Express Theory Remix). Not sure who did this remix. The others I'd call vocal electro house but this mix has elements of trance.
