Yndi Halda, Lights Out Asia, The Seven Mile Journey, pg.lost. This will Destroy you & If These Trees could talk are artists I enjoy.
My alltime fav has to be Jakob - Lonesome. I lean into the dark post-rock stuff, maybe edging on the borders of drone but to me drone has way more elements and creativity then dub-step, even though some say it is just noise but the soundscapes you can create with a heavily delayed and efx'd geetar sound amazing to me.

Agree with this. Orkidea has a fantastic taste in electronic dance music. OP: john 00 fleming has actually stayed to his roots, if I'm not mistaken, and is still releasing stuff on his label JOOF recordings. You might wanna check that out
Orkidea is great. I remember listening to him a long time ago on Oslo nights shows and I remember recalling this would be a guy to follow and stay into. I'll have to dig around him and find some stuff.
And yeah, J00F has done a fairly decent job of staying true to his roots.
It's sad that artists see the popularity and $ that going the top 40 can bring but the problem is only a few make it and those that tried to take a stab at getting into the limelight sacrificed their career and creativity. Not to mention it's just shit anyway.
What are some good labels to follow and check out these days?
Thanks for the tip on JOOF's recordings I actually bought some songs off BP a few months back.
Airwave is still doing stuff?

The electronic music scene got bigger and the pop music that sells rose to the top.
I love what Aly & Fila are playing these days. Check out their Future Sound of Egypt shows and look at tracklists and follow the path.
I look back at some of the electronic music I listened to from the years you mentioned, 98-02, and some of it bores me and realize it probably sounded better when I was smoking the funny stuff. There's more music than ever these days.

Listen to my Distant Places mix in my sig. I think you will enjoy it.
Well everything is relative. The last year saw me remix moshic, Michael and levan and stiven rivic, art of trance, timewave, tastexperience, just to name a few. I released 3 singles with Airwave, 1 with planisphere, and I have a massive 28 track lp coming next October. But yeah, I understand that it's not always enough.

@Lolo, some people blame the scene for being too hard to follow, but then they even fail at the basics, which is to at least closely follow the not so many artists left that consistently produce good music... Btw your output is plenty enough and of the quality we appreciate.
Browsing through random releases in a record shop to find gems is the past and is not going to cut it anymore, you are just going to lose time and be left frustrated if you don't start to apply some strategies to your online music shopping (see System-J post in the dj forum).

The least you can do is to link it.

People are used to the days when the music they liked (progressive trance) was hugely popular and required no effort to follow. Trends have changed and now progressive trance is underground and harder to find. If you don't follow music unless it's right in front of your face, don't complain when the tides change and you're left stranded.

There use to be people who handled all of this shit for us, we called them DJs.

Plenty of DJs still play this style of music. I'm lucky enough to be friends with some superb DJs who I've seen and heard play rocking sets of quality trance music. Once again, they're just not as popular as they used to be. Perhaps if people weren't so lazy, and got behind DJs and producers who weren't plastered all over the Beatport home page, these guys would get the credit they deserve.

Here is your chance to be a good friend to these DJs and link me up with their soundclouds
And i'm not lazy, its just hard to follow so many genres at the same time and its even harder to give trance a second chance when you get achy ears every time you try to find something new.
