History
The domain was bought 1999 by Tommie Podzemski to create a free webmail and redirection service. After one year in operation, Ralf Elfving came aboard and they both created the foundation of trance.nu along with a third person, Jezper Söderlund. The promotional work of mailing several labels and artists resulted in interest from Armin van Buuren and Misja Helsloot. And after interviewing these djs and producers, trance.nu’s news and interview section had been created.
The first version of the site, released late 2000, contained news, links and reviews.[3] In the summer of 2001 trance.nu released their first community-website,[4] which included guest books, private messages and profiles which took them closer to their goal of promoting trance music. In late summer of 2007 trance.nu released their fourth re-incarnation of the site with Facebook alike features such as status updates, friends and galleries.
