What tunes are inspiring you at the momment and why

Wondering what tracks people are people finding inspiring at the moment and why.

Being quite new to trance and progressive its a pleasure to be finding tracks that im really enjoying listening too, and i hope this is going to inspire some decent tracks in the future (maybe a few years)

This sounds incredible to me, i guess most of you may have already heard or have different opinions, but this track blows me away. Amazing ambiance and i find it manages to be moving without being cheesy (imo of course)

IMO, this is a funky tune in that the bass and the feel of the track has a funky groove. and again i love the ambiance in this. Considering that i used to be into drum and bass (with regards to electronic music anyway) im loving the depth and space in trance/prog

Peace

wouldn't say inspire in any way but it is the last track i bought. this is a filler tune for me. THis stuff works well between the more melodic stuff and the more electro stuff.

I have this stuck in my head:

I'm listening to Eric's new stuff now and there's some good stuff, but I keep coming back to this track.

His arrangements are just so fucking good...

So simple, yet effective

That really isn't funky. If you like atmospheric trance:

nice tracks!

@ beatflux, i think the bass & vocoder has some funk for sure! i guess funky is somewhat subjective though

funk�y/ˈfəNGkē/
Adjective:

(of music) Having or using a strong dance rhythm, in particular that of funk: "some excellent funky beats".
Modern and stylish in an unconventional or striking way: "she likes wearing funky clothes".

or:

evil-smelling; foul

Ha Mr Liebek there remixed my first release (my release was a bit crap). Is he quite big now? He messaged me for a while and I didn't really keep in touch?

didnt expect anyone to post that one, lol. that's on one of the record labels i've been releasing on. fuckyeah. even have an eleven.five remix for our first track epic craziness is epic, check out his remix for silva - dark brown eyes. i go nuts for it

These aren't really 'inspiring' me but haven't really heard many good new songs lately. These are just two I have enjoyed recently.

This one caught me totally off guard which is cool. Had no idea what was coming.

Heard this on TATW I think, I'm a sucker for achieving a big sound with little amount of synths. Plus i'm in the same corner genre-wise.
I will listen to the other remix too.

Such a shame that Adam K is going for this complextro sound when he had such a good sound a few years ago. My current favourite of him is this, but you probably already heard this already.

No, I haven't heard it b4. Cool track.

I think it's good to do something a little different. I would say 75% of the Tomahawk is the traditional Adam K style and at the end there is even a climax without complextro. I think adding in a little dubstep or complextro is cool if you use it right and don't overuse it. It is like Airbase - Genie which was a welcome departure from a pure trance set. Also, I think BT probably made the electro parts and Adam K made the rest. Again, in the context I was listening I wasn't expecting the drop and that is something ideal in edm.
