I know it seems to be the general consensus here that mainstream=boring/bad/whatever, but I think if any mainstream artist is putting out some pretty interesting stuff right now, it's him. Here's a few of my favorite tracks of his, in no particular order.

On top of his game, really love Exposure and the tracks together with Lange.
He has his cheesy moments, but definitely someone i do follow up on.
Yesterday I broke up with my girlfriend of four years. Our relationship had some struggles, but I never thought she would leave me this soon.
So after work some of my friends and I decided to get FUCKED UP.
All I can remember was that it was 3am, and my friend Mike was tripping on a few bowls of red kush that he smoked while knocking down shots of grey goose. My other friends were completely dazed LOL
So I'm sitting on my couch and I decide to do a roll of mephedrone, and someone flipped on some Gareth Emery and WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAaa
Funny you mention mephedrone. There's a thread going on about it on the COR.

He's incredible ! Probably my 2nd favorite live show of the year. His productions have been strong too.
I saw him play a club in LA a few months ago - was my first time seeing him - and he played a great set. It was a bit fluffy at times, but he walked that line really well and everybody was lovinggg it.
When I saw him at EDC - as I was walking through the entrance to EDC I heard gareth's remix of lonely girl and I knew he was on. That was the best feeling - walking in and hearing that. I got over there as quick as I could, expecting a similar fluffy set, but still being excited for it knowing he would kill it. He played so much harder than he had in the club though - and stayed way far away from the fluff. One of my top 3 sets of the day
I'm really excited to see him at EZ.

one of the few trance guys that still does REALLY good stuff on a consistent basis.
Quite a long trip for you. I can only go for Sunday, so looks like I'm gonna miss him
I saw he and PVD about a month ago in Toronto and he really blew PVD out of the water. Unfortunately I was a little too to remember some big chunks of his set haha

He puts on his Garuda night over at Sankey's semi-regularly, and I'm occasionally tempted to go along, but I'm not getting into the tracks you posted at all. They're not sickly unicorn wank, which is a minor achievement in itself, but they fall into that slightly boshy high-tempo trance zone that hasn't appealed to me for years. No real nuance, just aimless pillhead energy.
to remember some big chunks of his set haha
