021 was a year of discovery and discontent for me. While I wouldn't say that my tastes have changed, I learned a sound in trance that I thought had died years ago was still alive and well, while the modern sounds that I gravitated to grew more stale than ever. Part one of my 2021 reprise is highlighting the producers who are bringing back the sounds of the late 1990s and early 2000s. All of the tunes in this mix were released in 2021.
Thanks to the r/realproghouse discord (especially the #everything-else channel, aka where the good stuff gets posted) for the fresh digs all through the pandemic.

I've been quiet on this thread because I've been compiling my own mix in this style and didn't want to spoil too many of my own selections. Anyway, in the spirit of shameless self-promotion, here it is. Will get back to sharing my new finds from now on:
and another one!
Made this back in December for Reddit comp (as was most of Sammy K's mix above which won controversially :P).
All tracks are from 2021.
The ideas are back and it's fucking glorious.
What's striking me about this trance revival goodness is that it's not just some niche little Internet thing. A lot of these guys are appearing quite regularly on credible line-ups, and Resident Advisor have been unafraid of reviewing the likes of Priori or Sansibar. I'm wondering if the next year or two could see this becoming quite a popular sound.
Anyway, to keep the supply of tunes flowing, here's what SC auto-played me after I listened to your set, Camwin:
Some of the labels in this style insisting on vinyl-only releases are winding me up a bit. Sadly I won't be able to play any of the lush acidic tackle on this EP from Ukranian label Trance Pandemic, which is basically everything 2022 distilled into record label form:

Yeah, that's a good 'un. It's in the mix of mine I shared.
Another banger from Bliss Inc. This guy has to be the most reliable name out there at the moment. Unfortunately you have to purchase an entire compilation of mostly average tunes to own it:

ugh yeah, thats really annoying. I bought the whole Haws compilation to get Untitled 131 which was OK as there were some other half decent tunes on there but its only the Bliss Inc track on the radiant love comp thats any cop
Sort of sounds like what might have been if the Webster brothers had tried to do one more decent track in 2003ish after that Catcher one.

You got merked then Dave, because you could buy the tracks on the Haws comps individually. Least it went to a good cause.
