Since I am a huge fan of trance music, I always wanted to mix trance and PC gaming together. After all, I always believed that the trance music suits perfectly a lot of gaming genres. Therefore, it’s time for a new special video-series.
PC Gaming Trance will feature two trance tracks (mixed together via Traktor), alongside footage from a game I’m currently playing. The gameplay footage will be raw and unedited. In other words, the music will be playing in the background while I’m playing a game. While editing numerous gameplay videos sounds better on paper, I wanted to capture and share unedited moments that can, perhaps, become special.
Although I have a pretty good idea of what trance music suits different types of games, I may experiment in the future with types that would not, normally, match together. Uplifting or tech trance in horror games like The Evil Within 2 perhaps? Sounds interesting to say the least.
Since the games that will be presented in this series will be the ones I’m currently playing, I will try not to suck at them. Moreover, and while I plan on releasing a new episode every Sunday, things may not go as planned. After all, I want to feature a different game in each and every episode of this series.
In this first episode, you will find two uplifting trance tracks. The first one is “Nervous Testpilot – Five Years In Singapore (Miikka Leinonen Remix)” while the second (starts 4:34) is “Simon Hunt – The Burn (Manuel le Saux Remix)”.
Ideally, this series will also serve as your “Off-topic Music” section. You can share the tracks that stuck on your heads, regardless of their genre.
But anyway, feel free to share your thoughts on this new video-series in the comment section below!
John is the founder and Editor in Chief at DSOGaming. He is a PC gaming fan and highly supports the modding and indie communities. Before creating DSOGaming, John worked on numerous gaming websites. While he is a die-hard PC gamer, his gaming roots can be found on consoles. John loved – and still does – the 16-bit consoles, and considers SNES to be one of the best consoles. Still, the PC platform won him over consoles. That was mainly due to 3DFX and its iconic dedicated 3D accelerator graphics card, Voodoo 2. John has also written a higher degree thesis on the “The Evolution of PC graphics cards.”

i prefer dark techno for a game like SOW
eh, not my thing, but totally respect your decision to make it….
I had respect for something… once.
LOL this pedo john(author) and this di1`rider aka PB are spreading lies and cheering it lol
windows fall creator update gives 20% fps boost lol steve from gamersnexus and steve from hardware unboxed did a test performance increase my a$$ lol typical microsoft di!`riders spreading lies and false info
Actually we never said anything about the Falls Creator Update improving performance. It only fixes the stuttering issues in Forza Motorsport 7 (which it does). As we wrote in that article:
“And while we did not notice any framerate boost, our gaming experience was flawless. Thanks to the Windows 10 Fall Creators Update, we were able to unlock the framerate and retain really high framerates. Framepacing was great and there weren’t any stutters even after our extensive testing.”
Now in a more hilarious/sarcastic note (as obviously it’s impossible to talk seriously with you), at least we got some pageviews out of you (and we will get more as long as you comment and reply to other comments). So it’s a win-win for us 😛
Just cause 3 was a game that stuttered alot for me at 8gb but after update the stuttering seems to stop and noticed fps boost.
Joker Productions seen the performance boost and proved it, it’s not about “d*ck riding”, also it wasn’t John that made that claim, so you look stupid now.
– Complains about spreading lies and false info
– Spreads lies and false info
Alrighty then!
blah blah blah but I give credits to ms where it dues lol f!`king d~!krider
Such a shame about Shadow of War. I am a fan of soundwaves, though.
Cool idea, thanks! Sometimes you stumble upon good music by accident, and then there’s no title, no artist, and you wonder what ur really listening to here. So thanks for not just exposing us to really good music, but also providing us with the info on it.
Please keep it up! Makes for good listening in the background, would really want to hear what else you have.
Love trance and all but it isn’t right for the game,
Nine Inch Nails – Head like a hole
Would be more appropriate, even a lot of the lyrics can match the game!
Here’s some of them,
No you can’t take it
No you can’t take it
No you can’t take that away from me
No you can’t take it
No you can’t take it
No you can’t take that away from me
Head like a hole.
Black as your soul.
I’d rather die than give you control.

Bow down before the one you serve.
You’re going to get what you deserve.

First of all l Iove the idea, second of all In my small opinion I would put few song from the OST of Excalibur like “Igrayne’s Dance” which is in my opinion just perfect for an acrobatic combat scene.
Absurd – Nordmaennerlied for a fortress siege scene 😛
Nice! You’ve got a good taste in music John!
