STËH: 10 Timeless Dance & Trance Tracks Finding New Life in Today’s DJ Sets

Fresh off her new 'After Midnight EP,' Lisbon-based Brazilian artist Stëh selects 10 dance and trance anthems that helped define an era and are storming back into today’s DJ sets.

Brazilian-born, Lisbon-based artist Stëh builds tracks with low-end force, trance lift, hard rhythmic snap, and just enough bounce to make the room sweat before it thinks. Her new EP, After Midnight, follows that same instinct: four cuts that move through distance, ego, lust, and the strange little comedown that hits when the lights are almost back on. For her Beatport playlist, she goes straight to the source, picking the dance and trance anthems that still work because they were never built to age quietly.

Some tracks don’t just become hits. They define an era. These legendary Dance & Trance anthems shaped the sound of the late ’90s and early 2000s, inspired generations of DJs, and are now making a powerful comeback in today’s sets.

Dive in with her selects below:

Stëh's four-track After Midnight EP is out now via Comme dans les films. Get it on Beatport.
