N-Trance were formed in 1990 by Kevin O' Toole & Dale Longworth who were then students studying sound engineering at Oldham College. At first it was just an excuse for four or five students to get a load of free studio time & to mess about with all the college's equipment but after a while they began to produce stuff which they thought was comparable to what was in the charts at the time (with the 'rave' scene just taking off in the U.K.).
