State of Hard Trance

Basically what the hell has happened to my favourite music genre. I used to be heavily into the trance scene especially the hard trance scene, constantly dling latest, livesets, singles and finding out all latest info on my favourite artists and so forth as we all do.

But for roughly the last year I have been out of the scene quite a lot, only grabbin a couple of live sets here and there when I could and if I could find them. Basically now I am back on track got my new PC, log onto TA Hub, and OLDOMINION, and I cannot hardly find anything new. I have been sitting here dling all the old classic livesets I can find and remeber. I have been asking people in the hubs and continuously get the answer that hard trance is pretty much dead nowadays. Please tell me this is not true. All I can get now is old hard trance sets or hardstyle stuff, which I do like but nothing compared to true hard trance. What has happened to DuMonde, SHOKK, DJ Giotto, Flutlicht, Scot project, etc.

Please guys and gals help me out here, point me towards new artists, new material or just explain what is going on, its killing me.

CAN U DIG IT!
CAN U DIIIIIIIIG IIIIIIIIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Werd.. I feel you. Seems like lately all anyone ever records or shares is the soft fluffy stuff. I have a few Flutlicht sets from like 2k-2k2 that are some of the best sets I've ever heard. Where have Flutlicht and similar sounds gone. Flutlicht I miss u!

I beg as well if anyone knows where to find new material

just the same feelings here. Exactly why my last mix is from November 2002!

I wish there were more good new tunes, but there aren't.

Which reminds, what happened to PvD since his EM? Did he die or something?

Scot Project has a new release out very recently. DuMonde has had plenty of new things out (I think an album is inbound). And hard trance is just as good as ever as far as I can see, stop being so nostalgic.

hard trance went to shit when reverb decided to take a break from it which meant the flutlicht and shokk projects were put on hold

i agree..just as i mentioned here
yea...neither flutlicht nor shokk have not produced anything outstanding nowadays imo because they lack reverb
and what ever happened to Dj Alici?!
that more or less discouraged me from hard trance...
