Trance & Epic House

Having grown out of the post-disco dance culture House music had hit the mainstream by the late 1980s. In Germany the fusion of this hard-beat style with Ambient and Hardcore had, by the early 1990s, given birth to a new style. Trance music had arrived.

A decade later the continuing cross fertilisation of dance music styles has lead us to a hybrid of both Progessive Trance and House Music containing beats and backing of massive proportions. Or, to use this CD s title - Trance and Epic House - a genre which marries pulsating beats with blissful, hedonistic and anthemic soundscapes.

Thanks in part to the work of mixmasters such as Paul Oakenfold and producers such as Vincent de Moor and Ferry Corsten, we have seen 'Trance and Epic House' spread across Europe and Asia to become a global phenomenon.

Welcome to one of the world's favourite musical genres. Welcome to Trance and Epic House.
