Outer Focus 21: Trancendance [Festival Season]

Tue, Jun 9, 2026

Welcome to a new episode of Outer Focus!

Today, we’ll be exploring the history of Trance, a child within the broader EDM {Electronic Dance Music} family. I’ve been hearing a lot of elements of trance making their way into the contemporary music scene again, so I thought it would be fun to take a look at some of my favorite songs from the genre. Plus, it’s officially festival season, so I hope you enjoy this :getreadytoravewithme: mix. ⁎*⋆ฺ࿐˞͛ Live plur and prosper ~ 〠 FISTBUMPS ∞
