Whenever someone comes to me wanting trance so they can explore the genre, I immediately let them listen to Solar Stone - Seven Cities. Since it's such a classic and a well-respected tune, and such a good one, it never fails to please. From there, I can drop them with some old Tiesto sets or lend them Summerbreeze or Magik 3.

definitely would have to be Tiesto... all of his old stuff (sets) were amazing. Many other dj's were/are equally as amazing..etc. AvB, Corsten, PvD... and so on. But I would definitely let them listen to the old Tiesto.

Which sets of Tiesto in particular would you recommend?

I don't think one artist just does it for some people. I usually like to show whoever asks, a wide range of artists because I find that showing them one, usually puts them off.

To be honest, I give them mine or friends of mine. Not only are they good, but they are more open to a cd from a friend. If I were to give out headline dj's work it would be: Tranceport or Tiesto @ Energy 2000.

My mate, who didn't like or know much about trance, was blown away by Insigma - Open Our Eyes when he heard it on an old mixtape of mine, so maybe some quality melodic stuff? Also Push stuff seems to work, Legacy and Strange World have got good catchy melodies.

I don't think I'd play anything more commercial than these tunes, I wanna give people a good impression of what I'm into
