Originally posted by osterzone But what genre of EDM is this? Beatport has it labeled trance but it doesn't sound like it. It sounds a lot darker and has some ambient/atmospheric elements thrown in there.

Just because Trance music is almost only associated to uplifting melodies, doesn't mean that there cannot be a darker and often less cheesy take of it.

Concerning other suggestions check out tracks released by JOOF Recordings, Pharmacy Music and Propulsion Records. Some of the releases are presented and reviewed on Trancealert.com.

That has absolutely nothing to do with what I just said.

Originally posted by osterzone Is it really just plain trance? I feel like trance is just a blanket term for anything that doesn't fit in the confines of another genre. Like this song is clearly different than stuff like Solarstone's "7 Cities" and Rank 1's "Airwave", and those two songs are considered trance.

Because there are many different types of trance besides "uplifting trance" such as Rank1 - Airwave.
