Armin has remained consistent as always.
Tiesto has said to be laggin...and he might be..cuz i heard one of his recent sets..and hmmmmm
Ferry...i dunno where he's hiding...and his ligaya trak was kinda weak

*puts on flame retardant suit*

Flame all you want, I think Paul Oakenfold is back near the top. He's not throwing down the same cookie cutter sets every week, and he's not playing the same stuff everyone else is playing. Granted, he's just started playing Solarcoaster and Carrera 2, but check out some of his sets ... they are quite impressive as of late.

*stops, drops, and rolls*

agree..and someone needs to flame me for not puttin him on the list...

PVD is out of his mind right now as well as keeping himself busy with other projects (i.e. Movie soundtracks), so he is spreading himself out more.

Armin has stepped up this year constructing seemingly an infinite number of remixes. That is work! Everywhere I turn, there is a new Armin mix out (Now PVD is catching on to that too!)

Tiesto has gotten some bad PR lately. I heard that he is thinking of changing his style a bit to reflect some more proggy styles of dance music...maybe he is on the outs in teh uplifting trance scene.

Ferry Corsten I don't follow too much, but he has been in the rotation this year

As for Oakenfold...I will take this to the grave! He is too much a showman than an artist. He is more concerned with the crowd(and not the way he should be). My best example of this which really put him in the dog house was his antics at Ultra 4 when he literally stepped in front of the decks and raised his hands in the air. If I am not mistaken, isn't the performance done behind the decks?!

My vogte as always sticks with the master! PVD

I still like to have it rocking. Keep in mind what this music is made for, first of all. Its not made to be easy listening on the radio. Its not made to be easy listening in television. Its actually kick ass in the club. This is what music is. This is the purpose of this art form...to listen to it and let the frequencies actually blow you away. --Paul Van Dyk

lol when he was here in houston....he just about humped the turntables..it was funny as hell..360 rotation..lol...anywayz pvd neeeds to release some of his remixes..

I'd have to say Ferry Corsten. A lot of people didn't like Ligaya, but a lot of people liked it a whole lot, so I guess it's one of those tracks that either does it for you or does nothing for you. Pocket Damage was also a very good track, and with East West - The Love I Lost finally seeing a release, and System F - Solstice being the new System F single, he is putting out a lot of quality productions.

Armin Simply because of the volume of stuff that's come from him this year. Armin "the hardest working man in trance" Van Buuren lol

I think Armin is on the top of everyone right now.............

Nice remixes and massive mixing skills

On the other hand..........PVD is still badass

Tune into ID&T right about NOW and that should help you decide from your choices provided.

this is it.

Armin is obviously on form at the moment, comnpared to his relative popularity this time last year (he hadnt played at crasher for 2 years until dec 2001, he has now played 6 times since)

even peopel who dont like armin cant deny it, obviously tiesot is more popualr on an outstanding scale but hes jsut gone downhill compared to early 2001 by a depressing amount
