Like Chemical Brothers, Fatboy Slim, DJ Tiesto or the Mortal Kombat soundtrack

Compared to modern EDM it sounds abrasive and unpleasant to my ears

Something about newer software or production techniques?

Trance peaked around late 90s early 00s, it sounds way more melodic and euphoric than the slop created today. Chemical Brothers and such suck ass

Fatboy Slim mostly used old samples from the 60s/70s/80s so the point was to sound kind of unpolished.

His music is more like the Beastie Boys or Beck than synth-based "EDM".

Also 90s scumbag culture.
