Sextrance is a more recent derivative genre associated with trance music and other subgenres of electronic dance music. It is, however, most associated with hard trance music. Sextrance songs are characterized by their fast tempo (with the songs usually being 160-200+
BPM), strong synths, pulsating tones, compressed, bitcrushed, and distorted sounds. Tracks are either really long or really
short.
The term "Sextrance" was originally coined as a joke by musical
artist purity://filter as a
tag to describe their album Imago, released in
December 2020, as well as a mix they made in
2022. The term itself was presumably intended to be ironic, so Sextrance doesn't have any sexual connotations despite its name. Although it can be ;)
It started being adopted by other similiar musicians, and it quickly attracted a cult following thanks to the Dismiss Yourself label, known for publishing several
underground and experimental songs that push the boundaries of music genres. However, Purity Filter does not take credit for the creation of Sextrance, and prefers it to be attributed to other artists who picked up the idea, like Sienna
Sleep or Exodia.
