Wasn't this trance? :unsure:

 

 

It certainly would have been at home on the trance compilations in the 90s.

This is weird one but Drunk In Love by Beyonce and Jay Z is actually a little trancey in its structure, synths, buildups and layered sounds in the chorus instrumentals. :D

 

Dobbo, the difference between progressive house and trance I think is to do with trance having a bigger crescendo goimg into the chorus, the beats are more behind the synths in progressive house, whereas in trance the beats just grind on with a pulsing bassline.

 

Its easy to tell the difference fron trance with some progressive house songs like Galantis - Runaway (You and I) where the beats go with the synths but with ones like Nervo and Nicky Romero - Like Home it is much harder as the synths are faster and not synchronised with the slower beat as much.

The difference is clear. Compare Narcotic Thrust to Matt Darey.

 

Well Narcotic Thrust is easier to determine as the beat is distinctly house sounding and there are no fast complex synths really in their songs. Something like this is harder to determine as the fast complex synths in the chorus are quite trancey and the beat sounds less house like, although it is classified as progressive house.

No.

 

What genre is 'Pursuit of Happiness (Aoki remix)' then...the synths sound quite trancey in it.

 

It reminds me a bit of 2003's Aquagen's remix of Hard To Say I'm Sorry, how it goes between a slow bit of the original song and builds up into euphoric synths.

I think I have found a Galantis song that might be trance, certainly sounds a lot more trancey than the typical progressive house song.
