BH and the Trance Movement
Trance is one of the most important types of electronic music.
This music style, developed in the 1990s in Germany by Jam el Mar and DJ Dag (Dance 2 Trance), is generally characterized between 130 and 160 beats per minute, repeating melodic synthesizer phrases, and a musical form that builds up and down throughout a track.
Other important names for the Trance society are Tiesto, Paul Van Dyk, Judge Jules, Markus Schulz, Gabe and so on.
If you want to talk about the beginning of electronic music in BH, you have to talk about the Noise Family. This famous name for electronic music began its “career” at the end of the 1990s playing at small parties and in clubs like Brodway in Santa Tereza, and others in Santa Efigênia and Savassi. The first local festival was the “Eletronika” in 1999. It brought only 3000 people to Serraria Souza Pinto.
Since then the festival has been growing more and more. In fact, last year the event involved 15000 people over the course of three days. Meanwhile, night clubs, parties and important events have made BH an important place for the trance movement.
On November 30, 2007 the most important electronic party in BH will take place: the British festival Creamfields. Lasting for more than 12 hours, the festival will bring famous names like Infected Mushroom, Benny Benassi, Shant, Anderson Noise and others. Besides that, events like XXXperience, Flowers, Tribe, Enigma and other not so significant acts have been turning BH into an electronic city.
Therefore, the trance movement has attracted much attention to BH. The lovers of trance believe that it is more than a type of music; the electronic music brings freedom, meditation and a complete harmony between body, mind and soul.
