To me, cheesy trance is songs and artists that are of a lower-production value or poorer quality, are very predicatble, and are often times (not all the time) made for a specific reason...to make money. Most of the time these "cheesy trance" are not even "trance" at all, but euro-dance/pop music that is classified as trance. So these artists make songs that are very simple, don't take a long time to make, not much forethought was put into the tracks, and the songs just don't sound "sophisticated". Lasgo, Candee Jay, Rollergirl, Jan Wayne, Flip & Fill, Soda Club, Ian Van Dahl, Ultrabeat, Groove Coverage, and DJ Sammy are among those that I feel are "cheesy".
I would not classify other stuff as cheesy, like Tiesto, Ferry, PvD, Above & Beyond/Oceanlab or Armin as some other people have (and lets not get into an argument about this...please) because they make overall good music and play good music. Sure sometimes they make some songs that aren't as good as others, but I personally think they are pretty much consistently NOT cheesy. Just because a DJ/Producer (s) release some songs that are more pop-orientated, that doesn't mean they should be labeled "cheesy".
