Hypnotised: A Journey Through Trance Music 1990-2005

Trance has been one of the defining forces in electronic music across the 1990s and early 2000s. Its signature euphoric and optimistic sound produced some of the most influential electronic music of its time and played a significant role in shaping the direction of future electronic music. Despite its global impact, the genre’s historical significance has often been overlooked. Hypnotised is the first encyclopedia dedicated to the global trance movement during its most prolific years. This 332-page book offers a near-complete discography of essential albums, labels, and releases, alongside exclusive photography and in-depth interviews with influential artists and label owners. It functions as both a reference work and a visual archive of a defining era in electronic music culture.
