Trance Evolved

Ever since it first hit the big time in Europe two decades ago, trance has evolved into a style of dance music that combines big euphoric moments and deep atmospheric soundscapes with rougher edges and the occasional pop vocals. The popularity of the genre has been fueled by stalwarts Armin van Buuren and Tiësto—who've opened doors for newcomers like Omnia, Andrew Rayel, and Ilan Bluestone.
