Euro-trance

Euro-trance emerged as a hybrid of Hard Trance and Eurodance music and was most popular between late 1998 and 2000. It usually has around 140-145 BPM, a bass which is generally quite heavy, many breakdowns and big rifts, and often uses female vocals. These elements make euro-trance to be less sophisticated and complex than other Trance sub-genres and this fact is accentuated by its commercial sound with a primitive lyrical content and renderings of classic Happy Hardcore anthems.
