‘Trancegang’ is the latest release from experimental producer Maxwellbean, taken from the EP Eingang. Drawing inspiration from Berlin’s Atonal Festival and the industrial scale of the Kraftwerk venue, the track moves between ambient soundscapes and rhythmic, trance-adjacent pulses, forming a detailed and evolving sonic journey.
The track opens with ambient layers and metallic textures, featuring processed vocal fragments and abstract electronic tones. As it develops, rhythmic patterns emerge gradually, shifting the focus toward a more propulsive groove while retaining the experimental edge. This gradual transition from atmospheric to rhythm-led material gives the piece its dynamic character.
Composed and synthesized entirely from scratch, ‘Trancegang’ explores a “future trance” sound world, shaped by Maxwellbean’s experience studying and listening in Berlin. The use of field recordings and vocal samples drawn from films adds further depth to the production.
‘Trancegang’ is part of Maxwellbean’s debut EP, which showcases his work in computer-generated and experimental dance music. With ties to the Rainy Day Mushroom Pillow collective and other collaborative projects, Maxwellbean continues to build a catalogue grounded in sound exploration and immersive environments.
