We are two guys living at Frankfurt/Main, Germany. We both love Trance music and we even got known each other on base of this fantastic music genre.
Well this was long ago in the year 1999, when Trance was really big. Most club people knew about this music very well.
One Trance Bear started loving electronic music in late 70s, listening to Kraftwerk, Human League, Tangerine Dream etc. The 80s gave a real push with Synth and EBM and later New Beat and Acid. Bound to these genres we ended up in loving Trance music from mid 90s.
Now, we try to show our love to Trance by using streaming media.
We are streaming mostly Sunday late afternoon and evening, but may happen spontaneously too. Please follow us, so you will be notified when we are starting stream.
If you like to show appreciation to the Trance music the Trance Bears are presenting, you may get items from the merch store at [merchify.de](https://merchify.de/trancebears/)
We are constantly updating our music library. Additionally we keep improving the streaming equipment. If you'd like to support us, so we can continue the Trance Bears mission, you are welcome for a tip. Thanks so much!!!
