Hey guys, I recently got introduced to Epic Trance and I have to say that it’s really nice to mix to keep the hype up in the crowd.
I was just wondering what’s the difference between Progressive House and Epic Trance because they both have the intense build up before dropping in a euphoric climax.
Uplifting trance or as you call it “Epic trance” is just a more uplifting subgenre of trance, genres are hard to define exactly and often not agreed upon with even artist tagging their songs with multiple genres, a house track and a trance track can be very similar even so that progressive house is often described as trancey house and (perhaps as a result) the terms being used interchangeably.
Play what you love, call it what you want.
I think when you’re getting into subgenres the lines become blurred. Sometimes the name it’s given is just a marketing gimmick, so it really depends on your artist. (eg. Adam K and Umek could come out with the same track, one would call it progressive house, the other might call it tech. Both are right.) That’s my opinion though.
