Trance and Bass Throwback

Seldom were there two forms of music that had opposite vibes in the early 2k music scenes than Trance and Drum and Bass, but somehow they joined forces to create a new sound that changed both forever. Trance and Bass had the thick synthy vibes with the heavy bass in a broken beat pattern. It was everything great about both genres all rolled up in one tight package. Here are my 6 favorites from this obscure subgenre. Feel free to comment below or where ever you found this article with your favorite that was missed.


John B was the real face of the subgenre so I am going to start with his absolute classic "Falling'






and this epic remix of "Virtual Realmz".




There have also been quite a few remixes of Trance master Tiësto. starting with "Flight 643" This gem blew me away on Diesleboy's "Dungeonmaster's Guide" mix.





I was shocked to stumble on a more recent remix of of "Drifting" from Koven





Chris.Su has so many tunes that are more of a journey but this one always had a special place in the set. Cinematic vocals with a rolling bass lines. All held together with a warm synth line and arp.





The last entry was a bootleg white label I played for years before realizing it was a remix of the BT banger "Communicate" by Subsonik




Music genres should drift and shift. I love the meeting of things that should not work together but take the best of both things to improve them both.
