A stunning 4-CD collection capturing the peak of the early-2000s hard trance movement — including Lab-4 “Evilution”, Tranthem 7 mixed by Minimalistix (Sample Promo Copy), Trance on the Beach, and The Best of Trance Rave 2 mixed by DJ KAYA. Each album encapsulates the euphoric energy that defined the era when trance ruled dance floors worldwide.
Lab-4 stands as a UK hard-trance legend, blending industrial precision with melodic chaos. Their masterpiece Evilution delivers relentless energy and emotional depth, symbolizing the evolution of electronic dance music itself.
Tranthem 7, mixed by Minimalistix, represents the Belgian trance scene’s high point. Featuring tracks by Tisto, Push, and Airwave, it fuses emotional melodies with cutting-edge production. This particular disc is a sample promotional edition (non-retail “見本盤”), identifiable by its numbered sticker. The content is identical to the retail release, offering collectors a rare artifact of early-2000s dance promotion culture.
Trance on the Beach is a Japanese-exclusive compilation — bright, summery, and full of melodic anthems by Minimalistix, Airheadz, and Scooter. Its artwork evokes seaside nostalgia, perfectly matching the melodic trance vibe of the time.
Finally, The Best of Trance Rave 2, mixed by DJ KAYA, compiles era-defining hits from ATB, Blank & Jones, and Sash! into a seamless nonstop mix that symbolizes Japan’s own trance boom. A true essential for any fan of the genre.
All four titles are official Victor Entertainment Japanese CDs, carefully preserved and rarely seen together today. An indispensable collector’s set for those who want to relive the euphoric pulse of the hard-trance generation.
