Euro-Trance
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Euro-Trance is a hybrid of Hard Trance and Eurodance music incorporating Hardstyle bass drums and trance elements. It is made with a much more commercial sound, using lots of major chords and generally very happy sounding melodies. The trance synths at times sound like techno hoovers with trancey effects and strings backing it up, and more recent Euro Trance has also developed a synth sound of its own. The vocals are often pitched up for the most part, but sometimes they can be heard in normal pitch range. This is often confused with vocal trance because of its use of vocals. The lyrical content is usually simple, containing an introduction to the song with usually no or little drums, and sometimes includes renderings of classic Happy Hardcore anthems or melodies.
