In The Springtime Of His Voodoo
"In the Springtime of His Voodoo" is a 1996 song written by American singer-songwriter Tori Amos. It is a harpsichord-driven rock dirge and was included on her third album, '' Boys for Pele'' (1996). "In the Springtime of His Voodoo" was released in September 1996 as the fifth single from the ''Boys for Pele'' album in the US, containing remixes by house music producers Steve Donato and Vinny Vero. This song was removed from the 1997 re-issued version of ''Boys for Pele'' in the UK and Australasia, due to time constraints after adding the Armand's Star Trunk Funkin' Mix of "Professional Widow". "In the Springtime of His Voodoo" was also remixed and released as a dance single, but was a much smaller club success. Interest in the album resurfaced when Amos sang vocals on " Blue Skies", another club and dance hit by dance music artist BT that reached No. 1 on the ''Hot Dance/Club Play'' chart exactly one year after the release of ''Boys for Pele''.

Deep-house
Deep house is a subgenre of house music that originated in the 1980s, initially fusing elements of Chicago house with the lush chords of 1980s jazz-funk and touches of soul music. Its origins are attributed to the early recordings of Larry Heard (aka Mr. Fingers), including his influential track "Can You Feel It". Characteristics Deep house is known for tempos typically from 110 to 125 bpm, muted basslines, spacious use of percussion elements (typically using a Roland TR-909 drum machine), soft keyboard sounds (pads), use of advanced chord structures, ambient mixes, and soulful vocals. Lyrics usually focus on positive/uplifting themes or more melancholic subjects akin to blues. The use of vocals persisted in deep house as new forms of house music often abandoned them, but as of 2019, this difference has largely disappeared. History Deep house was largely pioneered by Chicago producers such as Marshall Jefferson ( On the House) and Larry Heard ( Mr. Fingers) and with tracks such as ...

Trance Music
Trance is a genre of electronic dance music that emerged from the British new-age music scene and the early 1990s German techno and hardcore scenes. Trance music is characterized by a tempo generally lying between 135–150 beats per minute (BPM), repeating melodic phrases and a musical form that distinctly builds tension and elements throughout a track often culminating in 1 to 2 "peaks" or "drops". Although trance is a genre of its own, it liberally incorporates influences from other musical styles such as techno, house, pop, chill-out, classical music, tech house, ambient and film music. A trance is a state of hypnotism and heightened consciousness. This is portrayed in trance music by the mixing of layers with distinctly foreshadowed build-up and release. A common characteristic of trance music is a mid-song climax followed by a soft breakdown disposing of beats and percussion entirely, leaving the melody or atmospherics to stand alone for an extended period befo ...
