Pardon me, i'm really very tired to blog nowadays. Or sometimes, don't have time to blog because of the busy schedule. So erm, what shall i blog today? Hmmm, i think i should explain, whats the difference between techno and trance? Many people has been asking me what is the difference because they sound almost exactly the same. So here's the answer.

Trance is a style of electronic dance music that developed in the 1990s. Trance music is generally characterized by a tempo of between 130 and 160 bpm, featuring repeating melodic synthesizer phrases, and a musical form that builds up and down throughout a track, often crescendoing or featuring a breakdown. Sometimes vocals are also utilised. The style is arguably derived from a combination of largely techno and house as well as being heavily influenced by Goa trance. 'Trance' received its name from the repetitious morphing beats, and the throbbing melodies which would presumably put the listener into a trance-like state. As this music is almost always played in nightclubs at popular vacation spots and in inner cities, trance can be understood as a form of club or house music.

Techno is a form of electronic dance music that became prominent in Detroit, Michigan during the mid-1980s with influences from electro, New Wave, Funk and futuristic fiction themes that were prevalent and relative to modern culture during the end of the Cold War in industrial America at that time. Following the initial success of Detroit Techno as a musical culture -- at the very least on a regional level -- an expanded and related subset of genres in the 1990s emerged globally. The term "techno" is often mistakenly used in North America and mainland Europe as a generic term for all forms of electronic dance music. Audiophiles will break down the techno sounds into many related categories, based on instrumental hardware, beats per minute (BPM) and any number of other popular segregrations.

So basically, both are actually under the genre called "electronic dance music". In short:

Trance is very uplifting with repetitious morphing beats sometimes accompanied by vocals.
Techno is style of fast heavy electronic dance music usually without vocals.
