Description

Hard trance is an energetic electronic dance music genre that emerged in the 1990s, characterized by driving basslines, euphoric melodies, and tempos typically ranging from 138-145 BPM. It blends the hypnotic elements of trance with harder, more aggressive kick drums and intense buildups that create peak-time dancefloor energy. The genre remains popular in European club scenes and large-scale dance festivals, appealing to fans seeking an adrenaline-fueled rave experience.
