Trance music is a subgenre of electronic dance music that developed in the 1990s. Perhaps the most ambiguous genre in the realm of electronic dance music (EDM), trance could be described as a melodic, more-or-less freeform style of music derived from a combination of techno and house. Regardless of its precise origins, to many club-goers, party-throwers, and EDM adherents, trance is held as a significant development within the greater sphere of post-modern dance music.I'm currently experimenting with progressive-melodic trance with a technique known as inverse flanging.

Last year i was invited to do a 1 hour set on sydney's nova 96.9.The set got great reviews with many producers asking me to come into a track production partnership,however i have not made up my mind as to when i will produce my first independent artist track.I run an online trance website called tranceaddict along with a canadian based trance producer "SECOND SUN".The website is the defacto for trance music technology and other various online forums.I have four pioneer 500x turntables and a proDJ mixing gear studio setup with a KORG and a YAMAHA synthesiser setup running at 5ghz parallel.
