What this episode covers
In this episode we’re going to sample some of the early recordings of trance music from the late 1980s to the early 1990s. Before Trance was absorbed into what is also called Electronic Dance Music, it rose up in Germany, specifically Frankfurt, and was put together by electronic musicians, some of whom were also sometimes DJs.
