You're really stretching yourself lately. I'm no trance expert but it sounds fine to me. A little light on melody but I guess that's the nature of trance anyway. Would be curious to hear this made into a backing track and have a vocal put on top of it. The foundation is solid enough that I think you could do something cool with this as a "real" song.

Is my age showing? LOL.

The mix on this is awesome. Legit. This is pretty solid. Good structure. I agree- could def add some vocals on it. Like around 2:16, I'm almost expecting some kind of delayed / reverby vocals. It feels like there's a little space there.

Even without it I think it's ok, tbh. It -sounds- great.

Thanks as always for the comment. I was in the middle of a disco-funk track and am finding it hard to mix acoustic instruments (guitar, drums, horns). Its different compared to what I normally mix - synthpop. I often take a break if my brain is hurting and do some Trance, because its more fun. I might turn it into a real song later ; )

Nice, but I miss balance between low and high. Example:

Thanks for the comment and feedback TraiT. Appreciate it. I was trying to find some Trance vocals actually, but couldn't find any that fit with the song.

I heard vocals in it around 1:50

There were vocals, you're right. Spoken word ones. I think that sung would have been better. I always try and add a 'human touch' to the song with my singing or others.
The video example you cite above is Psytance - its a nice clean mix. Typically Psy can be a little easier to mix because there are less elements.

lol, its all coming from a stimulant-free brain, all natural. Coffee is only drug that gets me. Although nowadays I tend to avoid that because it wires me too much. :s

[layzer]

getting around to this one now.
cool.
could have been in one of the matrix movie chase scenes.
tight mix, good structure, fitting sounds. nice one

Wow, just awesome, driving hypnotic trance. Man I like this. Listening as I type, love the breakdown and then the beat comes back in, so tasty.

I am always blown away by the creativity of folks on these forums.

[excuse me please]

Listened to it again few times. It certainly is an interesting track. But at 0:16 it begins to sound crappy to my ears. Just saying what I hear.

[Allomerus]

Not a big trance listener but this track is cool. It has plenty of energy and almost got me headbanging...
I like the lead synth in the last part.
Well done!

[candybag]

Sounds great!

The progression leans more toward movie scoring than the dance floor imo.
