About TRANCE NEXUS

Last updated: 2026-05-05

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. Why We Started TRANCE NEXUS

TRANCE NEXUS was born out of a lifelong love for trance music. The operator has been listening to trance since the late 90s — through the Gatecrasher era, the rise of A State of Trance, the Anjunabeats explosion, and the modern psytrance and uplifting renaissance.

Despite the size of the global trance scene, there was no single, well-curated, bilingual portal that aggregated radio schedules, setlists, releases, and events in one place — especially one that bridges the Japanese and international communities. TRANCE NEXUS was built to fill that gap, by a fan, for fans.

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.
