Trance is programmed on request rather than sitting on the fixed calendar. Someone proposes a date, and SplitClub sources the vessel, the crew and the sound around it — the cost of the day is then split across the group that claims the places.
The sound
Long melodic builds, a breakdown that removes the drums entirely, and a return that is the whole point of the record. Trance is the most openly emotional dance music, and it is written for exactly one thing: a large open space at the moment the light changes.
Trance in Miami
Trance has a long history in Miami through the Winter Music Conference era, when the city was the global meeting point for the genre's biggest labels every March, and it retains a devoted following here.
How the club programs it
Programmed on request as a sunset format. Of everything the club runs, trance is the genre most explicitly designed for the moment a set peaks against a horizon.
Every SplitClub day works the same way underneath the music. The club arranges one vessel for one date, with its captain and crew, and programs the route, the hours and the sound. People take single places rather than hiring a boat. Contributions are held through our state-of-the-art payment processing system until the day is fully funded — if it does not fill, it does not sail and nobody is charged.
