house is a little slower, and usually uses musical sounds from "real" instruments, mainly from brass and string section. House centres around the Bassline, from which everything takes shape. The melody is usually a loop of one simple melody rather than an elaborate one like trance's. I liken house to prog in a way, as it is a bit more easier to dance too without going all out energetic. I would recommend house to dance too as a warm up or in the middle of the morning. House also sounds (I think) sexier, and its all good with lots of women round! Haven't u lot seen the Lynx Pulse Advert?!

normally it takes time of listening to different types of music to tell the different. Being able to tell comes with experience imo

Differentiation of the genres definitely comes with experience and time because apparently to everyone that isn't hardcore about the music, "it sounds the same." Something I don't understand, but dj_mdma pretty much summarized the main differences I can tell between a house and trance track. Of course then we go into the differences of Prog. House and Prog. Trance where everything gets even fuzzier...

Personally, not a fan of house, but a lot of people seem to like it. Prog. house is good though.

Correct you are

As I stated in my earlier post, I think 29 Palms and Three N One are my favorite house/trance crossover artists. If you want a couple other tunes that have the same sunny euphoric feel as "Touch the Sky", get:

Jan Johnston - Am I On Pause (29 Palms Mix)

and

Nilo - Be My Friend (29 Palms Mix)

Originally posted by DJ-Kuza I only quoted him because it lead to a bunch of retarded follow ups. Then I noticed he's a JunkXL fan. And then to say house is dull... Kind of ironic. But then again, a lot of the idiots on this board say shit like this every day.

Because throwing flames toward *another* artist and genre is always the best way to rise above the fray and make your point...

House kicks are based on a simple 4/4 beat. It tends to be more 'dancier' than trance. Trance is composed of melodic synths and in most cases buildups and breakdowns whereas house is more consistant.

it's interessting to see how many ignorant people there are on this forum. you guys are no better than the rappers/rockers who think all electronic music is just 'beats'. If you don't like house then stfu and mind your own business, the man asked for a way to tell trance and house apart, not who likes house and who doesn't

hmm junkie xl junkie eh.......well i guess since you like him he isnt house......but far as i know he produces breaks and prog house.....ohwell thats just me.....anyway back to the topic at hand..Newer trance has a typical bpm range of 130-145 where as house is from bout 115-130 well for prog house tech-house, vocal, french, disco are slower. Hardhouse is fast..... Trance normal has 1 or 2 major breakdowns where has most prog house has maybe 1 if any and can range in length/intensity i guess same can go for the other genres..... I find most housr rhythm paterns to be much for complicated than a typical trance pattern but there are some trance tracks that have good rhythm paterns. Trance normaly has a main focus on some huge lead synth or pad that normaly overwhelms the listener most progressive tracks lack this...and instead focus more on a driving rhythm patern with some ambience... Oh well thats my view on the genres

I always try to explain it to my friends as trance has more of a classical music sound to it and more emotional whereas house is funkier, more disco-ish and is more for like a sunny day at the beach hehe. I still don't think these are good explanations

i agree with DJ-Kuza on a few things but in no way is trance just a minor genre look how many track tracks come out each week in compared to all the other styles im pretty sure alot more trance is being put out than any other genre cept maybe pop/rock and the likes but as far as electronica goes the club/europeance trance is big.
