Vocal trance combines my love of trance with my love of great female melodic vocals, so I'm always on the lookout for more music within this subgenre. Anyone have any particular favourite artists or tracks?

I generally pick up compilation CDs that feature this kind of music (at least in part) - annual stuff like Armin Van Buuren's State of Trance and Ministry of Sound's Trance Nation (although checking my collection it seems that I stopped acquiring them at 2005). I guess I can start by downloading more recent years' offerings, but still, if you have any specific recommendations I'd love to hear them.

Examples of tracks that I enjoy in this genre:
I recently discovered Jonas Steur and have begun to enjoy listening to his trance and vocal trance offerings.

Justine Suissa (from OceanLab) has one of the most heavenly voices I've ever heard!



So if you're a listener of this kind of music, please give me more! I can't get enough of vocal trance.

also is Cher vocal trance

Edit: I actually sort of like that Deadmau5 track it reminds me of an unused Royksopp track or something, I'm just kind of sick of hearing about him

Vocal trance is the shit, definitely. I can guess I can namedrop some similar artists that I hope you'll enjoy. My all-time favorite trance producer is definitely DJ Shah (also goes under the alias Sunlounger and Black Pearl, and a few more I think). He has lots of amazing vocal trance tunes as well as just plain instrumental tunes which are just as good.



ATB has produced tons of quality tunes too. His tunes usually has a bit harder bassline than stuff like Above &Beyond, Oceanlab, and so on so I'm not sure if it's your kind of thing but give it a try.

4 strings is definitely recommended if you enjoy stuff like Oceanlab and A&B.


Some other highly recommended random tunes:

Nothing beats this one. Sunlounger - Lost comes kind of close but this is THE best trance tune I've ever heard.

One of the best trance songs and ballads at the same time.

Another great song, with some electro house influences here and there.


I have tons of other recommendations too if you wish but I guess this'll do for now. Check out http://www.di.fm/ incase you haven't already, that site got plenty of good electronica channels, and even if the forums are horrible at least you can find setlists from mixes there. Elucidate also got a bunch of excellent vocal trance mixes. I highly recommended Timeless, blue and 3AM.

ok seriously I'm posting good trance music this time








last one probably doesn't count but ff you guys
