well, playing a devil's advocate here - there's no money in trance, tbh. unless you're a biggie like tiesto, pvd, armin, etc - making a living doing trance is rather not an option for many. so, while a shift to pop is probably more profitable, perhaps one should consider releasing it under a diferent moniker?

Daniel Kandi makes pop records, I don't see much DK bashing going on...

No one wants to die. Even people who want to go to heaven don’t want to die to get there. And yet death is the destination we all share. No one has ever escaped it. And that is as it should be, because Death is very likely the single best invention of Life. It is Life’s change agent. It clears out the old to make way for the new. Right now the new is you, but someday not too long from now, you will gradually become the old and be cleared away. Sorry to be so dramatic, but it is quite true.

Some of Daniel Kandi's productions are the only recent epic-trance tracks that i like e.g. "Chid", "Make Me Believe" etc.
