Trancecore is one of my favourite genres. The genre ‘Trancecore’ appears to be coined @ 1996-1997 as the NewSkool Happy Hard
movement began to merge with Hard Trance music. Before that most trance music was quite mid-tempo. However as the music progressed,
Trancecore was itself a distinctive genre rather a sub-genre of Trance.
It’s main emphasis was on the ‘hardcore drums’ of Dutch Gabber mixed with the influences of Euro-Trance together with the
New ‘Happy Hard Trance’ emerging from out of the European Mainland.
