By the late 1990s the commercial sound of Trance has been crystallised by the arpeggiated super-saws of the Roland JP-8000. However, the stylistic origins of the genre go much deeper; hard repetitive Techno rhythms mixed with psychedelic synthesised pads and chord progressions. Trance was essentially a sub-genre of Techno fine tuned for it mesmerising effects. Edition 013 of Shuffle revisits this formula with three Techno selections that recreate the hypnotic mesmerism Trance has long lost yet would be wise to rediscover.
