I regret not having made the same effort I made in the past couple of years at scouring for new artists and sounds, as I had quite a bit going on that resulting in a constant postponing of these attempts (and here we are in December). I did, however, manage to finally pick up my CDJ's and also managed to use them regularly, as I was concerned that a collection of dust would be all I had to show for the investment. As a result, I was able to collect both fresh tracks and tracks that I had been aching to get for quite some time.
Nevertheless, I managed to come across a many gems throughout the months, and here's a (very) short list of that which I have been listening to repeatedly:
Stel- Infinity
Kollektive Turmstrasse- Tristesse
Rex Mundi- Desillusion
Blue Foundation- Sweep
Miika Kuisma- One Morning By The Riverside
Guy J- Agent Blue
Deadmau5- Faxing Berlin (yeah, yeah, I know)
Gill Norris- Forme (Shiloh & Micah remix)
Juergens- Love It
Caly- Morning Glory (Funabashi remix)
I also found myself thoroughly repelled by much of Trance that was released this year, as I couldn't even recall I single episode of ASOT (and GDJB, to a lesser extent) that I found predominantly enjoyable. I have a sneaking suspicion that 2008 won't mark many considerable improvements in that area.
As for DJ acts that I stood out most to me this year, it would have to fall on Nick Warren, Hernan Cattaneo, and John Digweed (the second installment in his Transitions series really brought it all up a number of notches).

Talking about bandwaggoners? As if most of us spend countless hours searching for tracks and records we like, paying money to see DJs we enjoy, putting time and effort into mixes full of "house" music, just to join the bandwaggon, JUST so we can come on little old tranceaddict and have different music taste than Australian GQ, so that we can all tell him his taste sucks. Yes. Thats exactly why I love house (and all those other genres you might not be familiar with).
