The Sound of Old School Hard Trance

“The Sound of Old School Hard Trance” is a deep dive into the sounds that defined the hard trance underground across the '90s and early 2000s. With pounding basslines, hypnotic arpeggios, and a steady march through classic synth riffs, this playlist captures both the raw energy and euphoric pulse of pre-millennium club culture. Tracks like "Outside World" by Sunbeam and "Are Am Eye?" by Commander Tom are standout staples, while deep cuts from names like Cocooma, DJ Hooligan, and Nostrum offer a broader look at the scene’s foundations.

This is a collection built on gritty grooves and high-tempo atmospheres, where remastered versions of tunes like "Bulldozer" and "Ignition" rub shoulders with cult favorites like Emmanuel Top’s "Acid Phase" and the piano drop of "Rave Nation." Whether revisiting a golden era or discovering it for the first time, the set delivers a steady flow of peak-time, hard-edged trance tracks shaped for dark rooms, strobes, and long nights.
