I've been listening to trance for quite a while, but it's been mostly just mainstream and what friends have been listening to. I recently came across 4 Strings, which I had never heard of. I listened to Summer Sun and Square - Nova (4 Strings Mix) and they were absolutely amazing. I just love the way the music sounds and is put together. I would be grateful if anyone could mention artists such as 4 strings to check out. Anyone that remotely sounds the same. I love scanning these boards and I'll try and post as much as I can here.

I closed all my sets with Into the Night about 16 month...
Still my all-time favorite.
Now Carlo sounds a little bit repetitive for me.

Okay.. stop kidding. 4 Stings have got some nice tunes, if you listen to the dub versions. One is ”Daytime”, its beautiful without vocals.
.... And don’t compare 4 strings with Ian van Dale and Dj Sammy, 4 strings is much better.

They're album is complete shite. Horrid tracks. I like revelation, and Into The night, and maybe Let It Rain if i'm in that cheesy kind of mood (all instrumental versions of course.) But everything else is complete wankness imo.

4 Strings makes some nice tunes from time to time, like "Let It Rain", "Daytime" and "Into The Night", but I must say I lost some respect for him when he put vocals on "Into The Night" and re-named it. Horrible cheese, IvD class. "Diving" was also shite. But what the hell, he's sure making some good money......

Re: Re: 4 Strings!!! AMAZING!!!
I think 4 Strings are amazing, they produce some great tracks (and are good djs if you ever see them live or download their livesets, that one that opened with Solid Globe - North Pole.... *faints*)
My sister who is a typical teeny bopper listened to Into the Night quite a few times when it was being played every second on radio and "liked it", but when I played some of their over tracks she thought they were shite (Diving and Let It Rain) I dunno what it's like around the world, but where I live i've never heard Diving or Let It Rain on the radio so I don't in anyway consider it in anyway cheesy. I got a little sick of hearing Into the Night, but the track flows so well I reckon it deserved to hit the mainstream.
4 Strings!!! AMAZING!!!
