lol yeah 'uk hard trance' is tacky as fuck, i dont like it at all.. whenever i hear it i forever find myself comparing it to german stuff,. and it dont come close. germans turn each production into a story with feeling, english just whack beats n synths together

i agree too...and just wanted to ad ron van den beuken and donald & Giles

Originally posted by JulesPLees IS it just me or is the big big riff, slightly cheezy hardtrance that peaked about last year changing? One good examPLe is Cosmin Gate..going in a kind of techy/tuff proggy direction.. Ive been hearing more and more of this.. Maybe this is just the Australian fashion changing...or perhaps its worldwide... Like I know Marco V etc have been rokin' for ages (duh) but is this sound getting more wide acceptance? Or am I just blabbering on about what has been tech-trance for the last 2-3 years? oh and more track examPLes would be great.

I think Mauro Picotto has a huge deal to do with it.

Originally posted by SYSTEM-J Where the hell are you getting that from? There was loads of excellent hard trance out last year, from BK, Guyver and Lee Haslam among others.

All of the above is Uk Hard-Trance. Basically a new name for Uk hardhouse. I would not consider any of the above's dj productions to be hardtrance.

Hardtrance is changing towards hardstyle, for example Scot Project's sets contain a fair few hardstyle tunes, Beholder & Ballistic, Insecto, Zany/Walt etc.

He actually called it industrial hard-trance, which was basically hardstyle but without the elements of hard-house with hoovers and horns.

Examples.

Uberdruck - Blue Pill
Clive King/Scott Marten - Total Confusion
Southstylers - Pounding Sences

wow you guys are bent on classifying stuff, give it a break. hard trance is doing good this year IMO. J K Walker, Marcos, Marcel Woods, etc have all been putting out quality tunes.

Notable artists will release quality stuff of their choosing, whether you call it "hard trance" or a "proggier type of hard trance" or "hard trance gone soft" or whatever.
