Trance music is a genre of electronic dance music (EDM) that emerged in the early 1990s in Germany. It is characterized by a tempo lying between 125 and 150 beats per minute (BPM), repeating melodic phrases, and a musical form that distinctly builds tension and elements throughout a track often culminating in one or two "peaks" or "drops."
History[edit | edit source]

Early pioneers of the genre include artists like Klaus Schulze and Paul van Dyk. The genre gained mainstream popularity in the late 1990s and early 2000s with tracks like "For an Angel" by Paul van Dyk and "Children" by Robert Miles.
