No, he has always had psy influences in his sets and music since the first set I listened to (Essential Mix 2001). Lately he has been dropping alot of good progressive stuff. These psy influences however are impossible really to go mainstream with unless you have wailing metal guitars like Infected Mushroom, and explain why J00F is still just as bangin today as he was in old good days of trance.
His 2010 Essential Mix is quite amazing indeed.
If you want actual trance music, J00F and Christopher Lawrence are the way to go, they seem to be the only two DJ's left who play real progressive trance. Everyone else moved onto other styles, such as laser unicorn rainbow vocal trance.

I'm not sure if I would say that either. Yeah, it's not like he's the best producer, but he has a good set of ideas behind a lot of his tracks. Although I'm sure you can credit most of the work to his supporting artists, basically guiding J00F's vision to reality:

I really enjoy most of his productions... New Beginning, now that was a sick tune!
But tbh he is best when teamed up with The Digital Blonde.

He is simply mediocre. When you have someone who bashes so much the current scene you would expect him to bring something new/change. Nothing, again and again the same boring sound.
Angel & Demons was a joke. Is really this to what trance should aspire?

I really enjoyed his productions before 2005 when he made trance with psy influences instead of just psy or progpsy. His tunes today with Digital Blonde are okey, its pretty much the only trance i can tolerate but still mediocre.

john is a legend. he is a quality producer and dj who is consistently good. the critics can go eat their cheese and leave the rest of us to enjoy trance which actually has some class.

Another joke.
If you wanna make serious psy do it, instead of adding "psy elements" cause that makes you look cool.
Anyway, even that was a failure experiment.
