Proteus is a damn hard DJ. As for producers I would say that Mark Norman, Sam Sharp, and Ron van den Beuken have hard edges to them but keep melody in mind Top producers IMO.

Any chance you could post some more examples of your favorite producers (hard or not) or track examples/labels please? I like your taste so far.

lol he used ayla and atb back in the late 90s for the awake album and maybe something else but thats it
the times ive gone to see him at clubs since the late 90s he plays nothing but hard and epic trance.He even made the the cd that got me into hard trance "release AM edition"

all the good hard trance DJs have already been mentioned, my faves being Wag,Scot Project,Kai Tracid, DuMonde, K90,ASYS
Ferry drops some hard tunes at times but I woudnt put in this list

Originally posted by SYSTEM-J If so, he's having a laugh. Scot Project isn't anywhere near as hard as any of those.

I'm quite a fan of BK, Sentience and Reynolds, and whilst they are FASTER than Scot Project, stuff like his remixes of Arome - Hand's Up and Yoji Biomehanika - Ding A Ling are far harder than most of their stuff imo

Heared Kai tonight...daaaamnnn...that was insane!
He tore down the place. I am really still amazed. And with that he played Derb - DFC (Scot Project rmx) and that is one awesome track. If I can get my hands on that vinyl I will put it under my pillow every night so I can sleep comfortable
