The idea behind Passion 4 Trance stared in 2018 when Jarle(AKA DJarle) celebrated his birthday at his childhood friend Jim(AKA |l 2 Special 4 Silence l|) place. Due to different reasons less people than expected showed up at the party, making the hosts a bit frustrated. During growing up Jarle and Jim have always loved trance, music production, djing and hosting small music events, and the dream has always being to headline some of the worlds biggest and best events playing trance music. Jarle has previously experience with hosting bigger music events for kids and teens, starting PB-Party for 20 years ago with his friend Mats. PB-Party grew rapidly from 400 people to 4400 at the biggest. So the experience to start an event where present.
During the evening at the birthday party Jarle and Jim talked about what the ultimate birthday party would be so they could have fun, joking about booking artist like Armin, Tiesto, Ørjan Nilsen, Paul Van Dyke would be awesome. Jarle has previously booked Pulsedriver to PB-Party, and he was also a person they both looked up to. So the more they talked and joked about it, and summed up the experience and the possibilities, the unrealistic idea became more and more realistic. Then the idea of booking Norways most known trance dj and producer Ørjan Nilsen was born. The idea for the name of the event was decided a couple of days later to be Passion 4 Trance. This is because it is the only correct name for why DJarle and |l 2 Special 4 Silence l| created the event. It is because of the love for trance music.
