Hard trance Recommendations

It's been a really long time since I've listened to this style. I need something banging. I'm not real familiar with the gems of this genre. Something like Mauro Picotto - Iguana (Yoji Biomehanika remix). I'm hitting the gym hard this year lol and I need something real good to pump me up. Anything would be appreciated.

pretty sure bet with nick sentience stuff.

Alphazone - Revelation, Sunrise & Flashback

Taiko - Uno, Dos, Tres, Quatro (Nick Sentience Remix) (Taiko is Huntemann and Bodzin - too funny)

Voodoo & Serano - Blood Is Pumping (Club Mix)

DJ Kim - Jetlag & Get Ready To Exlpode

Hard Trance is pretty shit these days; it's all too similar to Hardstyle, which is awful. The bass lines have all gone from being driving and continuous to focussed around the 4/4 beat, the uplfiting melodies are gone and the kick drums are ridiculously large. May I suggest full-on psy-trance instead, which is what Nick Sentience has switched to?

Albums:

Zen Mechanics - Holy Cities
Burn In Noise - Passing Clouds
Domestic - Art Making Machine
Headroom - Artelligent
Protoculture - Circadians

i dont think you have a good idea of what hard trance is.

most of the guys you listed have done what I call 'harder' trance, which is not what hard trance is

SHOKK, old DJ Scot Project, Alphazone, Vinylgroover, Flutlicht. Some examples of hard trance producers

Also, it's more full-on psy than hard trance, but Panic Attack by Simon Patterson is a tune and a half.

DJ Irish's assorted hardtrance mixes.

Posted by alister on May-05-2009 16:47:

Old Kaylab/Reeloop/Oliver Klitzing stuff is suitable;

Although this is a Dumonde mix, this is rather good too;

Huh, well I've never heard of this track but I quite enjoyed it. Thanks for the heads up.

Of course, I forgot you were looking for Hard Trance in general. I recommended Fool's Forest thinking you wanted new hard trance, but anyway... check out the previous post's mentions.

Marcel Woods - Advanced. It's hard-ish.
