Youtube Trance Channels

By now, most of you are very familiar with Youtube. I’d even bet that a lot of you visit Youtube on a daily basis. This isn’t surprising because it is the most popular video-sharing site on the net by a wide margin. Despite this popularity, a number of us are unaware of some very neat features on the site.

One such feature, which will be the focus of this post, is what Youtube calls a “channel”. A “channel” on Youtube is essentially a home base for videos produced by some entity. This entity could be a private individual, an organization, a group, etc. What’s nice about this, and especially cool for us trance lovers is that a number of the top trance labels have established extensive channels of their own.

Below, I’ve assembled a small collection of my top 5 trance label channels on Youtube.

Positiva Records

Positiva Records Youtube Channel

Positiva Records, founded in 1993 as a dance outlet for EMI Music has grown into what is today one of the most popular trance labels of all. Positiva is not specifically focused on trance music. In fact, they pride themselves on their broad genre-crossover ability. On this label you’ll find the likes of Alice Deejay(ahh the nostalgia), Axwell, BBE, David Guetta, Deep Dish, Ferry Corsten, Filo & Peri, Fragma, Milk Inc., Paul Van Dyk, and many more top artists.

Black Hole Recordings

Black Hole Recordings was founded in 1997 by arguably the greatest trance artist to ever live, Tiesto. BHR is also home to Mark Norman, JES, Deadmau5, and a number of up-and-coming artists as well.

Nukleuz Records

Nukleuz was established in 1996 by Peter Pritchard of UK Media Records. Nukleuz stands out from the other labels in this list because they predominantly represent the harder side of trance and house. Their artists include BK, Andy Farley, Nick Sentience, Mauro Picotto, Mario Piu, Lisa Pin-Up(not ugly), Organ Donors, Disco Brothers, P.H.AT.T. and more.

Perfecto Records

Perfecto Records is a UK based trance label founded by the legendary Paul Oakenfold in 1989. Some of the notable artists on the Perfecto label include Sandra Collins, Hernan Cattaneo, Paul Oakenfold, Timo Maas and more.

Armada Music

Last, but certainly not least on my list is the Armada Music Channel. Armada Music is my favorite label on this list. They specialize in trance music and were founded by the great Armin Van Buuren in 2003. Other artists on the label include Aly and Fila, Andy Moor, Armin Van Buuren, Dash Berlin, Dave202, Gabriel & Dresden, Interstate, Jan Johnston, Lange(AKA Firewall), M.I.K.E.(AKA Push), Markus Schulz, Motorcycle, Oceanlab, John O’Callaghan, Sean Tyas, Signum, Space Brothers, and Vincent de Moor.
