Trance is a genre of electronic music that developed during the early 1990s, in Germany and in Goa, India. It is characterized by a tempo lying between 125 and 150 beats per minute (BPM), repeating melodic phrases, and a musical form that distinctly builds tension and elements throughout a track often culminating in 1 to 2 "peaks" or "drops". Although trance is a genre of its own, it liberally incorporates influences from other musical styles such as techno,house, pop, chill-out, classical music, tech house, ambient, and film music.
