honestly. maybe im out of date and lazy but I used to love listening to the EM's live back in 98-02' and follow labels and shit and find music but now i just dont give a fuck. because their either riddled with dubstep or have influce of dubstep in them. and to be frank just sound like shit and boring to me.
where is my john fleming and digweed progressive and melodic trance at these days. it feels like the majority of folks are splitting off from the collabs to get the $.
stuff like
ambassador - the fade
elucidate - carousel
roger shah And signum - healesville sanctuary
planisphere - moonshine
(and thats not even the good stuff)
i find myself digging into the oldies like monkey forest and shit which is old as balls but still timeless
takes fucking forever to find the real good stuff
maybe im getting old or something but jesus
the last hybrid song i even bothered to look at that was a big deal was formula of fear and that was terrible. old hybrid was unreal.
sadly i started moving into post rock to help feel the need of looking for a long progression with great melody and sounds.
the fuck is happening?

There is so much great stuff out there i dont even know where to begin, though i absolutely love the dubstep influence in electronic music, its really a fresh breath, music 2012 has become forward thinking again and producers have understood that they have to separate from the crowd.
My advice is, give music a fair chance, listen new tracks for more than a couple of minutes, 10 years ago you had the fewer artists to listen to so you would always give your favorite producers a fair chance on his new releases.

Know how you feel, i tried to listen to new music this Friday so i listened to this "new" compilation by Oakey called: "Four Seasons - Winter".
with names such as: Solarstone, Thomas Datt, plantet perfecto and Lange on the cover an OG like myself was led to believe he was in for a treat, in reality it was a torture. my ears were literally hurting.
If that cd is any indication to todays Trance then id rather listen to songs from Inna,David Guetta and that stupid Tacata song.
And now one of the 'regulars' will tell us that there's plenty of great trance out there that we are too lazy to find (of course he will not share any of it with us though).

What's your favourite post-rock artist/band?
And what kind of post-rock; 1st wave stuff? 2nd wave? 3rd wave/crescendocore?

That's what happens when something gets a taste of mainstream success. They like, so they incorporate it more and more until it eventually overruns and destroys it.

I suggest downloading the last 10 podcasts of DJ Orkidea - Radio Unity off iTunes....its great. Start with podcast 039.
IMO its the best trance being produced these days.
Agree with this. Orkidea has a fantastic taste in electronic dance music.
OP: john 00 fleming has actually stayed to his roots, if I'm not mistaken, and is still releasing stuff on his label JOOF recordings. You might wanna check that out

Good music will always exist - artists will still create the styles you've grown to love. Top 100 charts may not always reflect personal taste, but things change over the years and the truest enthusiasts never rely on charts anyway. We've tried to keep some of the old classic styles going and there are some people who still enjoy that.
