This is a valid post by Renzo. Space is first and foremost a business. Therefore in order to book a DJ, pay for his flight from Eurpe or wherever, and also his booking fee, they have to know or at least feel that people would show up. A perfect analogy is that you would not open a restaurant to sell food no one wants to eat.
With that said, there are a lot of great trance DJs, some well known and some lesser known that I would definitely spend my money to see at Space. Some examples are Above & Beyond, Blank & Jones, Cosmic Gate, Marco V, Giuseppe Ottaviana (of NU NRG), Kyau vs. Albert, Rank 1, John Askew, Sander Van Doorn, Sean Tyas, Thrillseekers, Mark Norman, M.I.K.E., Marcel Woods, Martin Roth, and Ferry Corsten (I know they used to bring him alot - but fans like me miss his sets).
I can only speak for myself, but can say that the sets I've heard either live or recorded from each of those DJs are on par with those of the top DJs that are ongoing regulars at Space. Therefore if people would show up, they would enjoy themselves. The problem I see is that many people (outside of forums like this one) do not even know any trance DJs other than Tiesto or PVD. They need to be educated and open-minded. That is where good promotions and word of mouth come in.
Some non-trance DJs are worth noting as bookable: Chris Liebing, Mauro Picotto, Carl Cox, and Donald Glaude. Liebing and Picotto have destroyed Space before, Cox is the most energetic DJ anyone will ever see, and Glaude has torn down Crobar each time he plays there. Even if you are primarily a trance fan like me, I think you would enjoy any one of these guys at Space.
