You sound jaded. Personally, I made the transition from trance to house four years ago and my tastes haven't changed much since although the other day I dusted off some of the classics like Pulser - My Religion and System F - Spaceman. If your disenchantment with trance just started in November then I'd say it's probably just a temporary lull before you come across something good again. From my experience releases in general get a little weak in the winter before they pick up again in March and lead into the summer.

I still am waiting for a trance producer to stop doing the same [intro...build...breakdown...climax...2nd breakdown...outro]. I would LOVE to hear someone create a completely new way of arranging a trance track, like making the whole track one big build or something...i dont know, could be kinda cool and definitely stick out amongst all the cookie-cutter trance tracks out there. 2 my cents

Maybe something like?
For me, some of the best years of trance were around 06' when guys like van Doorn, Mac Zimms, Randy Katana etc.. were really experimenting with combining techno elements into trance. I miss that a lot.

Yup! Early van Doorn was where it's at. Loaded, Direct Dizko, When The Sun Goes Down...they were all relentless and to me it just seemed like he didn't really hold back on the aggression.

Speaking of techno/trance I really used to love Picotto back around 2000-2002 with all his named-after-amphibian tracks. His Trance Energy 2001 set is one of my favorite ever. It's like nasty filthy techno with melodic trance breakdowns, was like the perfect combination of both.

F me remember that first SvD Essential Mix from 06'? To this day it's still probably the most forward-thinking, groundbreaking, and relentless trance set I've ever heard!

Whats Trance?
Seriously, I find myself listening to prog house/techno 90% and maybe 10% trance. I stopped listening to ASOT a long time ago.

- Too many Trance DJs that have sets that sound the same
- Too many Trance DJs that are unwilling to incorporate tracks from other genres
