Album lore

Hypnotised: A Journey Through Belgian Trance Music [1992 - 2003] assembles selections credited to Digital Excitation, situated firmly in the acid house vein. The compilation documents a niche stretch of Belgium’s early ’90s to early 2000s trance milieu, with the featured track “Pure Pleasure” exemplifying the genre’s characteristic squelching basslines and repetitive, hypnotic rhythms.Though scarcely scrobbled or widely circulated—Last.fm records only 30 plays—the record offers a fragment of the underground Belgian trance lineage. Its sparse footprint belies the persistence of acid’s influence across the era, capturing a particular strain of club sound that thrived in smaller circles rather than mainstream charts.
