Tech-Trance is a sub-genre within Electronic Dance Music that draws upon the Techno and Trance genres as the name suggests. Tech-Trance focuses more on the Techno elements, incorporates traditional elements of Techno, with its repetitive nature and strong 4/4 beat, while deriving the melodic elements from Trance. Tech-Trance compositions tend to have a tempo of around 135-150 Beats per minute. Tech-Trance tends to utilize a more driving sound while commonly using distortion as an effect on the melodies. Commonly, the melody containing strings and pads will begin once the beat has completely stopped, playing by itself much like a Trance breakdown. This melody will suddenly stop, leaving the drums and a completely different synth to begin, whereas Trance songs would generally continue with the same melody. The synths are short, repetitive and contain less note changes than Trance, often having the same note played in an interesting sequence. For an example, see Sam Sharp's "Deep".
While breakdowns and builds within a song are important elements of many electronic genres, they are less prevalent in Tech-Trance. As a result, more abrupt stops and starts are used to increase the effect of sudden changes within the music. Vocals are also quite rare within the Tech-Trance genre, with only short phrases or single words normally incorporated. Tech-Trance is currently quite an underground genre, but is growing in popularity due to its hard-edged nature and growing list of producers.

Get the Tech-Trance mug.The north side of torrance is full of motherfuckers who like to kick it. south torrance is full of rich bebe bitches tryna act hard, but they gotta buy their shit with their daddys money. west torrance is full of white boys who dont know how to get down. NT, some say we get down with rolls, but fuck that, we drank 40's and smoke blunts. we go to community college and we kick it in garages. we get marlboro reds at ampm and ricks, and half our pack gets bummed cuz we kick it with broke ass niggas. some fools try to come up in tha budda business but end up letting their profit blow away with the wind. we got asians, (fuck korea) skater niggas, white boys, and chill beaners. Torrance PD is some prick ass motherfuckers, if youre a nigga or a wetback strollin thru mindin your own business, chances are theyre gonna start shit with you. 9 out of 10 times when you see someone pulled over its a black/mexican fool on the curb cuffed up being talked down to by a motherfuckin torrance cop. Were chill with gardena cats. were not with that gangbang shit cuz were too busy dumpin swisher gutz and gettin kush rolled up. NT is the originator of the drink "BRASS MONKEY". NT parties usually get rolled within the hour if youre not chill with the cops. garage kickbacks are the safe bet, but wait till the word gets out, esecially if bitches is involved. the center of north is crenshaw and artesia. it extends from prarie to western.

The state of mind you get in when having a long wank. Doesn't matter if you have something to do or need to be up early in the morning, when you're in the wank trance you just don't care.
..until afterwords. When you realise you've been an idiot and should've been sleeping/getting on with important stuff.

"God, it was two in the morning and I needed to get to sleep as I was up for 9, but I thought I'd have a quick wank...3:30 in the morning I finally finish having not given a shit and suddenly I wish I'd chosen to go to sleep instead. Frickin wank trance!"

Get the Wank Trance mug.All very different, but amazing to listen to.
Techno is more rapid and fast, but uses electronics well. laughed at for the 90s hysteria of crap pop music.
DO NOT GET IT MIXED UP WITH POP.
Trance is more musical and slower, which makes it very classical.
hard house is probably the greatest of them all, with fast tempo, great sounds and amazing climaxes.
Hard Dance is so much faster than all of the above, making it harder for beginners to the genre.
Rave, the dying genre, can range from slow, relaxing music to fast bumping sounds. some would say it relies too much on repitition.
Its best to start from this order to really enjoy the music, otherwise youll think youve wasted a good 15 quid on a CD, while hardcore fans will relish such a CD.
You dont have to take drugs, you dont have to be a hard-nut, you dont have to go about wearing massive trousers, you just want to listen to the music, and have a good time.

Its music, thats all. And why do people slag fans of these genres for listening to it? Are they really that shallow?
Enjoy. All people welcome.

Get the not very hard trance mug.A hypnotic state, characterized by aimless clicking through Wikipedia for hours on end. May cause loss-of-sleep
Last night around 10:00 pm I was looking up The Critic TV show on Wikipedia. Before I knew it, it was 12:15 am and I knew a little more about Walt Disney, the Epcott Centre and Scooby Doo. Where did those two hours go? They were lost in a Wiki-trance!
