Trance is a genre of electronic music that emerged in Germany in the early 1990s. It is characterized by a tempo oscillating between 125 and 160 beats per minute (BPM ), repetitive melodic phrases6, and rising and falling musical form. Trance is a genre in itself, but can also include elements of other styles of electronic music, such as techno, acid house and new beat, electro-pop known as new wave music, or ambient chill-out music
