"The Trance Revival" has been a lasting topic in the dance music scene in recent years. This genre, which emerged in the late 1990s, successfully distanced itself from early Techno with its intricate melodies and atmospheric qualities, creating a sense of transcendence. With the support of many prominent producers, Trance became a staple on various music charts, establishing itself as one of the most mainstream electronic dance music types in the early 2000s. Although Trance faced rejection due to over-commercialization at one point, a new generation of DJs and producers have rediscovered its unparalleled sense of natural joy. As the name suggests, Trance conveys enough energy, and its exquisite melody writing offers a pleasantly dreamlike auditory experience, allowing listeners to feel as if they are floating in a vast space while on the dance floor. Traditional Trance has regained attention, and contemporary club musicians have innovated it to a new level: Neo-Trance, which borrows elements from various genres while remaining true to the deep and intoxicating sounds of original Trance.

 

 

TDJ is one of the leading figures at the center of this musical wave. Although she has not been in the Trance scene for long, she has received widespread acclaim for a series of impressive releases and cross-genre collaborations, rising rapidly in popularity. From 2020 to 2022, her well-produced free EP series "TDJ001/182/002" captured the ears and playlists of DJs, filling dance floors worldwide. Her short film series "SPF INFINI," which began in 2021 as a "transcendental audiovisual experiment," garnered her attention across the realms of dance, club music, and fashion.

 

 

The key to TDJ's popularity lies in her fusion of Trance, Eurodance, and other forgotten gems from the 2000s, creating a sound that is both high-energy and emotional. This Montreal-born producer has become a regular at major European clubs, including France's Société des arts technologiques and Piknic MTL, the UK's fabric, and Switzerland's EXIL. Her presence is also notable on popular streaming platforms like Boiler Room, HÖR Berlin, and Kiosk Radio.
