The trance family received a fresh injection of high-octane energy today as German producer Tim Grein drops his latest single, Dance All Night, directly to Beatport through DistroKid — a bold independent move that puts creative control firmly in the artist's hands and the music directly in yours.
160 BPM: Beyond the Standard Grid
If 138 BPM is the heartbeat of melodic trance and the spiritual home of ASOT marathons and Luminosity Beach Festival sunsets, then 160 BPM is somewhere closer to the stratosphere. Dance All Night clocks in at a locked, unwavering 160 BPM — territory that bleeds into the upper echelons of uplifting and psy-trance, where the kicks hit harder, the arpeggios blur into walls of sound, and the dancefloor becomes a collective act of endurance and euphoria.
This is not background music. This is a statement of intent.
Going Independent in 2026
Releasing through DistroKid rather than an established trance imprint like FSOE, Black Hole, or Armada might raise eyebrows in some corners of the community, but it reflects a wider shift happening across electronic music right now. Artists are increasingly choosing distribution freedom over label prestige — retaining rights, setting their own timelines, and engaging directly with listeners without gatekeepers in between.
For a single-track release like Dance All Night, this approach makes complete sense. There's no waiting six months in a release queue. There's no A&R filter. The track is done, it's priced at a fair €1.59, and it's yours today.
What to Expect From the Track
With a title like Dance All Night and a BPM ceiling of 160, the premise is simple and the promise is enormous. Tracks at this tempo live or die on their energy management — whether the builder knows when to strip back and let the tension breathe before detonating the drop. The trance family has been trained by two decades of PvD, Aly & Fila, and Giuseppe Ottaviani to recognize the difference between a track that merely goes fast and one that flies.
Tim Grein's entry into the upper BPM bracket will be one for the peak-hour faithful — the ones still on the dancefloor at 4 AM when the DJ finally lets the filter open all the way and the room erupts.
A Release Date Worth Noting
Dropping on July 9, 2026, Dance All Night arrives mid-summer — peak festival season, peak open-air energy, peak trance family gathering time. Whether this finds its way into a Luminosity set, a FSOE podcast, or a late-night club room in Amsterdam or Belgrade, the timing could not be better calibrated to match the mood of the moment.
Keep your eyes on Tim Grein. The independent path is never the easy one, but it's often where the most honest music lives.
