Hello, 1st post here, have a few questions

Hi forum crew,

I'm somewhat new to trance, but not new to djing. I have been a dnb dj for the last ten years, and now I want to switch it up a bit and get some trance tunes. When I was alot younger I had a small stack of trance tunes that I eventually sold for dnb tracks(big mistake hindsight) anyways I have acquired most of them back and now looking for some newer stuff. I have always been a big fan of Christopher Lawrence , and I have most of his tunes. I have also been listening to some of his live podcasts, I really dig the music he plays. Can I get some help from some trance pros and get some suggestions on some producers? Mainly the more harder stuff that I hear c.l. Play?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

Cheers,

Ebk

Trance has gone down the toilet since you parted with it 10 years ago...

If he's fancying Lawrence, there's still some good tunes in that vein. Guess Fleming's the obvious recommendation here.

Thanks for that I'll check him out,

Besides Christopher Lawrence and J00F I don't see who else there is DJ wise that's really active to any notable degree.

Not really into dj's, I'm just looking some producers and labels that make good hard progressive trance old or new

Obviously the touring name-DJ side of trance is dominated by utter shite, and it's a minor miracle that J00F and Lawrence even exist. However, just look at something like the OZORA festival and tell me there's no great trance around.

EDIT: To the OP, is this the kind of thing you're after?

(Ignore the intro vocals, they're some bullshit added by the Youtube uploader)

If you like Lawrence you might like Nicholas Bennison as well. He plays similiar style.

I liked that first one, who is it by? Thanks again for the help
