Well, trance music goes way back to the early caveman. They were dancing around the fire at night and banging bones on bones, making a little percussion, chanting, and going into trance also under the moon and the stars. Today, in the 21st century, we are still doing the same thing. And the idea is that if you dance to this kind of particularly psychedelic music at faster bpms… and you do it for some time, you can go into a trance, or a trance-like state. And sometimes, you even have transcendent experiences, where you go out of your body and beyond the normal world, into something special, something beyond words. Most of these things we can’t describe in words. But that’s what the idea of trance music is. And what does it means to me, it’s a special magic that we can’t get any other way… This trance music takes us in a special way like nothing else does… within your own self.
