Tech trance, también conocido como techno-trance o techno/trance, es un subgénero dentro de la EDM que utiliza elementos techno y trance como sugiere el nombre. Tech trance estuvo iniciado por, entre otros, Oliver Lieb hacia 1994. Otros ejemplos tempranos de tech trance son Humate, Chris Cowie y Marmion. Durante varios años permaneció a la sombra del Hard trance, una fusión del tech trance con el Hard Acid trance.
Melanie y Shaznay comenzaron su carrera musical cantando como coros en el ZTT Recording Studios en All Saints Road, Londres. En 1993, Melanie, Shaznay, y la tercera miembro original llamada Simone Rainford decidieron formar un grupo musical y grabar un disco juntas. Según Simone, pensaron en llamarle al grupo Spice, pero pero decidieron que eso no era buena idea, y decidieron llamarse All Saints 1.9.7.5., nombre de la calle donde se conocieron y el año de sus nacimientos. Fueron contratadas por ZTT Records UK.
En 1994, All Saints 1.9.7.5. actuaron por primera vez en el Touch Magazine en el Notting Hill Carnival. Las tres grabaron tres canciones, pero fracasaron. Además, Melanie y Simone tuvieron conflictos en cuanto a la dirección del grupo que causó serias tensiones en la banda.

Ever since I was the age of nine
I really only felt that I could sing or rhyme
Under the impression that this is a mic
Making sure every dance step is right
Way up in the mirror singing five star songs
I wanna be shy - cah
So I'm keep it real only doing what I know
Writing phat beats and keeping the flow
If you don't know what I know
You won't know
If you feel how I feel
I feel you
If you see what I see
Come and see me
If you hear what I hear
You know me
I know you like my style
But do you like my flow (Huh?)
I know you wanna get with me
But have you got soul? (What?)
No money in my pockets
Would you take me as I am? (Who?)
And if I wasn't beautiful
Would you be my man?
From Monday to Sunday
I'm just working on my beats
So if you don't know what I know
Thats no good to me
Hear the music, don't you lose it
Let it take control
When I see you've got it right
Then I'll let you know, let you know
If you don't know what I know
You won't know
If you feel how I feel
I feel you
If you see what I see
Come and see me
If you hear what I hear
You know me
Every player I hate says my group is whack
We don't care y'all cos our pockets are fat
Well actually girls no they're not
But at least you get to be on Top Of The Pops
We done plastic, platinum, silver, gold
Do you really wanna know how many records we've sold?
Let me tell you what other girl bands say
When I was young nobody kissed my - Huh
I was the skinny kid at the back of the class
But now I've got curves - shapely and strong
Every man, some women, wanna give me some more
I don't do that cos it aint my thing
If you wanna piece of this
Gimme gimme the thing
If you don't know what I know
You won't know
If you feel how I feel
I feel you
If you see what I see
Come and see me
If you hear what I hear
You know me
Every player I hate says my group is - what?
Every player I hate says my group is - huh?
Every player I hate says my group is - who?
Every player I hate says my group is - whatever!
