I will give you the facts

    Techno was developed in Detroit in the early 80s , it uses hard-edged distorted and processed sampled sounds . one of its main purist characteristics is the devotion to the four-on the floor beat , with heavy use of sounds , repetition of electronic sounds . It plays at 125-145 bpm and even more than 160 bpm some times . it has not many vocals and tend not to be wide spread and are often sampled

    Trance was evolved in the early 90s from German techno . Trance was named because it`s supposed to put you in a trance like state . It`s been described as danceable Ambient . It`s a Techno derivative normally played around 140bpm with a four -on -the - floor beat . there is usually munch repetition from the arpeggiators . You should listen for synth effects with complex layered sounds . The music often builds to a crescendo many times through out a song , and many tracks will begin or end into a spacey ambience or floating pads .
    exp Robert Miles Children
Dose this help ?

Just remember that even PVD was considered Techno. Not many of my friends know the difference and explaining it them is pointless. If they play a trance tune at a club everyone calls it techno. I usually think of good trance as having a lot of variation. Take Ayla Angelfalls for example. It breaks down at like 3min to just a plain piano solo. Songs that can break and catch up again(peaks and valleys) are great. PVD, AVB and corsten are the best at this. Techno doesn't have these elements.
