Frequently asked questions

What is trance music?

Trance music is electronic dance built around long builds, breakdowns and a euphoric peak: melody and atmosphere carry as much weight as the kick. Videojam curates trance music videos from the genre's classic era and the scenes that kept it alive.

Is trance dead?

No. It left the mainstream, which is not the same thing. Trance dominated the late 90s and early 2000s, then got diluted through the EDM boom when progressive house and big room absorbed its melodic DNA. What survived is one of the most loyal scenes in dance music. ASOT and FSOE events still fill arenas, Anjuna bridges trance and progressive for younger crowds, and the 138+ uplifting and psy end has a devoted underground. What died was trance as chart music. The genre itself, with its long builds, euphoric breakdowns and emotional payoff no other dance style attempts at that scale, never went anywhere.

What's the difference between progressive trance and uplifting trance?

Structure and payoff. Uplifting trance is anthem music: a clear build, breakdown and climax, big melodies, and a euphoric peak designed as the emotional high point of a set. Think Aly & Fila, FSOE, and peak-era Armin and Ferry Corsten. Progressive trance is journey music: groove-driven, atmospheric, slowly evolving, with understated peaks that reward patience. That is the Guy J, Yotto, Anjunadeep-leaning end of the spectrum. Plenty of producers blend both, so the boundary is porous. A quick test: if the breakdown makes the room throw their hands up, it's uplifting. If you only notice twenty minutes have passed, it's progressive.
