Pioneers of Trance

Pioneers of Trance are artists and producers who helped shape the trance music genre, which is characterized by repetitive beats, melodic arrangements, and a hypnotic, uplifting atmosphere. They emerged in the early 1990s, blending elements of techno, house, and ambient music to create a sound that transports listeners into an immersive, emotional experience.
