Frequently people say trance like in the early days shouldn't have vocals, but truth is there were vocal trance tracks since the early beginning like this one from 1993 (even the trance mix had vocals):

Used to have these vinyls, then sold them when I started buying gear, I think. Both have become rather pricey and sought-after now, it seems.

Year: 1993 Country: Switzerland Style: Breakbeat, Techno





Year: 1994 Country: US Style: Techno, Experimental

Claude Young has made some really fine tunes back in the day. Belgian Trance or Hard Trance unfortunately haven't aged good at all except some tracks which i don't remember right now. I might even go as far as say even the German Trance scene produced tracks which still holds up to this day.

The fast Belgian variant with fast bpm mixed with hardcore which sounds amateurish doesn't sound good to my ears.

Sorry for being so negative but that's just my opinion.

I agree, most tracks didn't age well, you're not negative about that.
Maybe, or probably some memories of that time are needed to make them sound nice nowadays.
Squeezed between Belgium and Germany here in the south I shopped at both sides of the borders.

There's so much insanely good stuff released in the 1990s. So much that I decided to start a mix series where I explore this stuff and invite guests with similar mindsets.

Anyone that's interested can find them on www.soundcloud.com/kiskelfacit

I don't particulary fancy this fast-paced hard trance stuff that's been posted here. Alphastarred's suggestions as well as dj_christian's comments are spot-on for me. This german rave stuff sounds so cheap and plastic when compared to the ambient techno, acid and "idm" released during the same years. These often sound a lot more hypnotic and trancey than the stuff was given the trance label.


When it comes to "fast" music released at this period, I'd rather go for something like this:

That's me. I thought I had this handle on discord as well, but now i'm not sure.

I realize that most of the glitchy stuff I have was made post 1999, so I don't have enough tracks at the moment to make a full glitch mix.

Just put this one on sc:

01. As One - Asa Nisi Masa [New Electronica - 1994]
02. Professor Smith - Remember 48024 [XLR8R Traks - 1996]
03. Hiroshi Morohashi - Shades Of Rhythm [Shield Records - 1997]
04. Prism - Soft Tone [Deviant Records - 1996]
05. Freeform - Many [Skam - 1995]
06. Optic Nerve - Premonition [Pow Wow Trance - 1993]
07. Prototype - The Path [Buzz - 1992]
08. Sandoz - Ocean Reflection [New Electronica - 1994]
09. Bjorn Torske - Don't Electric Shock Me [Ferox Records - 1998]
10. Kenny Larkin - Chasers [Distance - 1996]
11. LA Synthesis - Agraphobia [Plink Plonk - 1994]
