barthezz did it, sander van doorn did it, tiesto's apparently doing it, armin van buuren is going electro (like millions of others)

any other producers out there who for whatever reason, be it their music has become too monotonous, or they re showing gradual signs of completely revamping their style?

this could be framed two ways:
1. who do you think IS changing styles
2. Who do you think SHOULD change styles

Why should people have a "style" in the first place?

Armin is going electro? lol
So if he plays 1 electro tune on ASOT that's it, good to know.

None of those are electro, especially Rush Hour which I thought was his new epic trance anthem thing. The other two are housey ones yes, and World Is Watching me has a buzzy synth, but that's all I can credit to them.

fair enough
but he has changed the direction his productions are taking, started with 'who is watching' in my opinion

Electro wtf? Rush Hour is armin's first decent trance track in years.

Point taken. Most of the Shivers album was at a lower BPM than 76, and most of the tracks on there weren't as anthemy or "trancey". He has definitely stopped producing as many trance anthems apart from Rush Hour.

exactly, and thats my question
is that change for the good or bad according to you?
any other producers who are or should do the same?

Evolution is inevitable. It's not usually even a conscious decision but something that just happens over time.

what's wrong with you?
am i debating that in any way?

i'm just asking which producers according to you are in the process of 'evolving', or those who should 'consciously decide' to do so soon.
