I know it seems to be the general consensus here that mainstream=boring/bad/whatever, but I think if any mainstream artist is putting out some pretty interesting stuff right now, it's him. Here's a few of my favorite tracks of his, in no particular order.
FLAME ON
:cool:

On top of his game, really love Exposure and the tracks together with Lange.
He has his cheesy moments, but definitely someone i do follow up on.

Yesterday I broke up with my girlfriend of four years. Our relationship had some struggles, but I never thought she would leave me this soon.
So after work some of my friends and I decided to get ED UP.
All I can remember was that it was 3am, and my friend Mike was tripping on a few bowls of red kush that he smoked while knocking down shots of grey goose. My other friends were completely dazed LOL
So I'm sitting on my couch and I decide to do a roll of mephedrone, and someone flipped on some Gareth Emery and WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAaa
Funny you mention mephedrone. There's a thread going on about it on the COR.

He's incredible ! Probably my 2nd favorite live show of the year. His productions have been strong too.
I saw him play a club in LA a few months ago - was my first time seeing him - and he played a great set. It was a bit fluffy at times, but he walked that line really well and everybody was lovinggg it.
When I saw him at EDC - as I was walking through the entrance to EDC I heard gareth's remix of lonely girl and I knew he was on. That was the best feeling - walking in and hearing that. I got over there as quick as I could, expecting a similar fluffy set, but still being excited for it knowing he would kill it. He played so much harder than he had in the club though - and stayed way far away from the fluff. One of my top 3 sets of the day :)
I'm really excited to see him at EZ.

This is probably my favorite from him.

Hot indeed -fans self-
kadomony
one of the few trance guys that still does REALLY good stuff on a consistent basis.

Quite a long trip for you. I can only go for Sunday, so looks like I'm gonna miss him :(
I saw he and PVD about a month ago in Toronto and he really blew PVD out of the water. Unfortunately I was a little too :crazy: to remember some big chunks of his set haha

He puts on his Garuda night over at Sankey's semi-regularly, and I'm occasionally tempted to go along, but I'm not getting into the tracks you posted at all. They're not sickly unicorn wank, which is a minor achievement in itself, but they fall into that slightly boshy high-tempo trance zone that hasn't appealed to me for years. No real nuance, just aimless pillhead energy.
