DJ SCHMETTERLING’s new single “The IO Trance Machine” is a reminder of why trance music continues to captivate listeners across generations. Released on September 19, 2025, the track feels like both a throwback to the golden age of trance and a bold step into the genre’s future — a sonic fusion that’s as emotional as it is technical.
From the very first beat, “The IO Trance Machine” pulls you into its hypnotic groove. The mesmerizing lead synth glides effortlessly through layers of rhythm, while an electric guitar bursts in to elevate the track’s most euphoric peaks. It’s that perfect blend of human warmth and electronic precision — the kind of sound that makes you close your eyes and let the music take control. The soft, soulful vocals whisper “the only one for you – it’s me,” adding a touch of intimacy that lingers long after the final note. Then, just when you think you’ve settled into its dreamy rhythm, a commanding male voice calls out “IO,” a clever nod to the digital world of input and output — grounding the emotional charge in a futuristic pulse.
What’s most impressive? This entire sonic journey was crafted from DJ SCHMETTERLING’s home studio, proving that creativity and mastery can thrive anywhere passion exists. His background — from early piano and guitar lessons to his fascination with techno and EDM — shines through in the track’s intricate balance of melody and movement. Even his name, “Schmetterling” (German for butterfly), perfectly mirrors the song’s spirit of transformation — constantly evolving, fluttering between genres, and symbolizing growth, emotion, and freedom.
With “The IO Trance Machine,” DJ SCHMETTERLING doesn’t just deliver a trance banger — he creates an experience. It’s love, technology, and transformation rolled into one pulsating journey.
