I know that there are different subgenres to trance (ie psy trance). However I have no idea what they sound like and/or how they differ from just trance. Could someone please list the subgenres of trance and two or three songs from that subgenre? That would be cool thanks

Here, I'll take euro trance.

EURO TRANCE
Orion Too - Hope And Wait
Breeze & Styles - Chemical Love
Kira - I`ll Be Your Angel

Psytrance:
Psycraft - Top Gun
Chiad - Zero burner

Progressive:
Rhythm Unlimited - Reflections (Flash Brothers Remix)
The MFA - 2 Billion Year Journey
Pig & Dan - The Basement

As for the original post, use the search function. You'll find many threads on the subject. Or reference Ishkur.

Not to be confused with Progressive Trance, which is (mostly) a genre to itself separate from Progressive (House).

According to these differences, in what subgenre would you set Markus Schulz Mixes made on the GDJB ?

An accessible and marketable offshoot of progressive house, variously called American Progressive, Miami Progressive, or McProg.

thx m8! I was a little time considering GDJB to be trance music, but i realised that it was way too different music than the one played in ASOT, which i consider to be trance.

American Prog has some weird similarities to Armin-style epic trance, so you're not entirely wrong at relating the two. American Prog is essentially house-based, but has twinkly, flighty melodies of 32+ bars like epic.

Keep in mind that epic trance on ASOT is only one subgenre of the entire trance genre, just a very popular and well-marketed one.

Ok, nice point up ! I see you know a lot of this ! Thx again !

I wouldn't call that euro-trance, more like euro-dance or just pop-dance. I wouldn't say that Euro-trance is a subgenre within trance, it's what psy people usually call what we would define as "regular trance" in opposition to psy or goa-trance. Armin van Buuren and John 00 Fleming is good examples of euro-trance artists in the true meaning of the term.

Psy-trance:

The Muses Rapt - Spiritual Healing
Cosmosis - Spores From Space
Green Nuns Of The Revolution - Conflict

Goa trance:

Hallucinogen - LSD
Subcouds - On Red
Blue Planet Corporation - Overbloody Flood

Although there are many subgenres within these too of course. Actually, I think it would be more fair to say that psy/goa is a genre of it's own than a sub-genre of trance....

hehe..unfortunately that's likewise become with J00f, though some of his sets he plays some wicked trance, prog-psy, whilst in his older sets and compilations he includes some wicked prog. house, prog. trance imo..
