I Wrote the Book on Trance. Here's How to Get It.
Euphoria Unleashed is in pre-order now. The final edition ships this month.
What the Book Is
It starts where the sound started: the machines nobody wanted when they shipped, the studio techniques that turned tape loops into emotional texture, the synthesizers that ended up in secondhand shops and accidentally built the backbone of an entire genre.
From there it moves through every scene that mattered. The clubs in Frankfurt and Amsterdam that built the infrastructure. The labels that packaged the sound. The specific records that locked in the genre’s identity and the producers who made them. The DJs who moved it across continents. The technology that kept reshaping what was possible.
It ends in the present tense.
18 chapters. 118 tracks. A companion playlist that follows the book in sequence, from Kraftwerk to the current scene.
This is not a survey and it is not a nostalgic trip. It is a record written by someone who was inside the culture for three decades and then spent a few more years checking the facts.
Where Things Stand
The manuscript is done. Beta readers are finishing their final pass right now. I will make any last edits from their notes, and the book will be ready this month.
Pre-orders are open at euphoriaunleashed.com/shop.
Here is how it works: you get an immediate download when you order. When the final edition is ready, the same link delivers it automatically. No codes, no re-purchasing. The link in your order confirmation always serves the current version.
Price: $13.99.
The Playlist Is Already Live
118 tracks. Same sequence as the chapters. It starts with Kraftwerk and runs through every major era, every key label moment, every record that moved the sound forward.
Start anywhere you recognize a name. Or start at track one and let it run.

If you have been producing or mixing electronic music for a while, you already know the sounds. This is the book about where they came from and what they meant to the people who built them. The history behind the kicks, the pads, the long builds you are still trying to get right.
