I wasn't into electronica back then, but apparently he imported goa to the UK in the mid-nineties (see A Voyage Into Trance). From there he shifted towards his trance golden era of 97-00, peaking at the Essential Mix World Tour. By 2000 he was suffering a commecial fall, bloated with success and taking the full brunt of the anti-trance backlash. Bunkka seemed an effort to hold onto fame by reaching out to the mainstream, but only sealed his fate for the next year or two as scene laughing stock. He's since shifted to a progressive, breaky style of trance that I'm not too fond of, but seems to be making a modest comeback.

i'd say his dj style is progressive trance ... altho he probably wouldnt want to be pigeon-holed to one style!
