7 Trance Music Art Prints That Transform a Home Music Studio

For trance music fans & producers, a home studio is more than a workspace — it’s a personal environment shaped by sound, memory, and atmosphere. While synths, monitors, and lighting set the technical foundation, the wall art you choose defines how the space feels during your creative time.

Trance music is emotional, immersive, and nostalgic. The right art prints can reinforce that energy without distracting from creativity. Below are 7 trance music art prints from our Trance & Electronic Music collection that work especially well in home studios.

What a Night Out Looked Like in 1999: A Raver’s Guide

If you ever had a night out in 1999, you’ll know it wasn’t just “going clubbing.” It was an entire experience — a ritual that started hours before stepping anywhere near a dancefloor. The late 90s were a special time in trance culture: the music felt new, the clubs felt enormous, and every weekend felt like it might just change your life.
Here’s a nostalgic look at what a real night out looked like back then.


1. The Pre-Club Ritual: CDs, Flyers & Pure Excitement

Getting ready usually started with a stack of CDs spread across the floor — Gatecrasher, Trance Nation, Cream Anthems — all scratched from being played a hundred times too many.
Flyers were everywhere too. You’d pull them out of your pockets, off your wall, from inside magazines… tiny neon invitations to another world. And even though you’d seen them before, you’d still stare at the artwork and think, “Tonight. This is the one.”


2. Getting Ready: Clothes That Made Sense Only at 2AM

Outfits were less about fashion and more about feeling alive.
UV tops, glitter, cyber goggles, phat pants big enough to double as tents — everyone just wore whatever made their heart race under the lights.
The best part? No one cared what you looked like. It was all about expression, freedom, and that buzz you got knowing you’d soon be under a ceiling full of lasers.


3. The Journey: Friends, Basslines & Petrol Station Pit Stops

Half the night’s magic happened before you even arrived.
Cars full of friends, windows down, the same Ferry Corsten CD looping again because you never remembered to change it.
And the petrol station stops? Those were mini-raves in themselves — random groups of clubbers all heading in the same direction, smiling at each other like members of a secret clan.


4. The Queue: Cold Air, Warm Buzz

Queueing was strangely exciting.
You could hear the bass thumping through the walls, see little flashes of colour flickering through the door every time it opened.
Everyone talked about who was playing, what tracks they hoped to hear, and how long it had been since they last slept.
You weren’t inside yet, but the night had already begun.


5. Walking Into the Club: That First Hit of Energy

There was nothing — nothing — like stepping into a club in 1999.
Warm, smoky air. Lights everywhere. A wall of sound so big it hit you in the chest.
The DJ would be building up to something massive, and just as you moved deeper into the crowd… boom.
The drop hit, the lasers fired, and every single person in the room lifted their hands at the same time.
That moment alone was worth the entry fee.


6. The Dancefloor: Strangers Who Felt Like Family

The dancefloor felt like home.
You didn’t know most of the people around you, but somehow you were all connected.
You’d dance together, share water, hug during breakdowns, and shout “THIS TUNE!” when something like 1999, Universal Nation, or Saltwater kicked in.
Time didn’t exist there. It was just you, the music, and a hundred strangers feeling exactly the same thing.


7. The Afterglow: Sunrise Drives & Stories You’d Tell for Years

The end of the night had its own kind of magic.
Walking out into the cool morning air, pupils still wide, hair wrecked, clothes soaked — but happy.
Some went to afterparties. Others piled back into cars with the windows fogging up while the sun crept over the horizon.
Your ears rang for hours. Your cheeks hurt from smiling.
And even though you were exhausted, you felt completely alive.


Why We Still Miss It

Nights like that stick with you.
It wasn’t just the music or the lasers or the outfits — it was the feeling of being part of something bigger, something beautiful, something that doesn’t exist in quite the same way anymore.

That whole era left behind a trail of visuals, posters, flyers, and memories — little snapshots of a time when trance ruled the night and every weekend felt like a story waiting to happen.
