Trance emerged as a subgenre of German EBM in the late 1980s and early 1990s. The term is believed to have been coined in 1991 by Mark Reeder of MFS Records, although it had been in informal use for several years prior.

Tech Trance was pioneered by Oliver Lieb, a prolific producer with a career spanning over 30 years and numerous aliases. His musical journey began with techno-influenced EBM before progressing to Hard Acid Trance, his second most well-known moniker.
Throughout his career, he explored various electronic music styles, including early Goa Trance, Gabber, and German Trance, while also contributing to both traditional Trance and Techno.
Techno Trance
The term electronic body music (EBM) was first used by Ralf Hütter of the German electronic band Kraftwerk in a 1977 interview with Sounds magazine and later reiterated in a 1978 interview with WKSU radio to describe the more physical character of The Man-Machine. Although the term originated in the late 1970s, it only gained wider recognition in the 1980s with the rise of bands such as Nitzer Ebb and Front 242.
According to Jürgen Engler of Die Krupps, this style was initially referred to simply as "sequencer music" before being labeled as EBM. In 1981, the German band DAF used the term Körpermusik (body music) to define their danceable electronic punk sound. The term electronic body music was later popularized by the Belgian band Front 242 in 1984 with the release of their EP No Comment.
