About TRANCE NEXUS

Last updated: 2026-05-20

1. Our Mission

TRANCE NEXUS exists to broadcast trance music culture to the world. From the euphoric uplifting anthems of A State of Trance to the cosmic frequencies of psytrance forests, we believe trance is more than a genre — it's a global movement of energy, emotion, and connection. Our mission is to be the most reliable, up-to-date hub for trance fans and DJs alike, in both English and Japanese.

2. About

TRANCE NEXUS is an independent portal documenting trance music's history and present.

The site is run by an independent trance fan. The operator started listening to trance and listens to A State of Trance every week.

The goal of this site is to serve as an entry point for those new to the genre, and a place to revisit for longtime fans. Artists, labels, tracks, terminology, and three decades of scene history — all documented as accurately and respectfully as possible.

3. What We Cover

  • Releases — new tracks, EPs, and album drops from the global trance scene
  • Events — festivals, club nights, and trance-focused parties worldwide and in Japan

4. Editorial Policy

TRANCE NEXUS is committed to maintaining trust with our readers through the following principles:

  • Accuracy — we cross-reference information from official artist channels, label sites, and trusted databases (1001Tracklists, Resident Advisor, di.fm). When data is uncertain, we say so.
  • Independence — our editorial coverage is not influenced by labels, promoters, or sponsors. Artists and labels are featured on merit and relevance to the scene, not paid placement.
  • Affiliate Disclosure — TRANCE NEXUS participates in affiliate programmes (Impact, Awin) and may earn a commission on qualifying purchases. Affiliate links are never promoted in a way that compromises editorial honesty. See our Privacy Policy for full details.
  • Corrections — if we get something wrong, we fix it promptly and transparently. Please let us know.
