Exit Trance

Exit Trance is a series of compilation albums released in Japan specializing in Japanese trance artists. It is regularly released by Quake Holdings and each volume is mixed by DJ UTO, a prolific DJ in the Japanese music scene. Many of the albums are compilations of remixed anime music, while other albums feature remixed dance music. There are also some albums that feature music from video games or films. As of August 2010, Quake has released ten volumes of the series. Thanks to the success of DJ UTO and the compilation series, Quake introduced the Exit Trance presents Aerodynamic series, specializing in a more 'underground' and harder sound than that of the original Exit Trance series.
