Have listened to trance music since the late 90's and have followed all the big guns throughout the years. Which current djs are still playing the uplifting trance tunes that made people like PvD, Armin, Tiesto and Ferry renound?
I have my opinions, just interested in other people's views. |

as far as i can see, there is no modern day equivalent. the sound is just far too processed these days. the almost-acoustic, raw quality that you only got back then was the one and only proper trance sound.
people will point to j00f, but they are guilty of this horrible processed sound i am talking about - it's awful, and rips the soul out of the music.
it's like it lacks any natural reverb or something, it's totally dead. i don't know... i wouldn't even call it music :nervous:
i'd call it 'wooden', but that what be a compliment. it's like rubber or something :stongue: |

A little of topic maybe:
I saw Tiesto at a talk show yesterday on Dutch television. He said he gets bored pretty quickly (@3:30 1st vid) and in 2007 lost inspiration for trance music. Then he heard U.S. DJ's play multiple genres and mixing them up. After that he changed his style and found new inspiration, which not everybody likes, including me. But I can understand his point and choise.
His new track is called "Red Lights", not very special although I liked the vocals. (2nd vid)

I like Airwave's sets a lot lately since I'm following him a little closer.
This one is from last week: Airwave & Quadran live @ Bonzai Retro 2013 |

| I would say JOOF but he doesn't play that deep style live like he does on GTG. I'd like to nominate someone else besides Airwave, but he has done a great job of combining decades of EDM together recently and the key-tar that he uses with the tracks is awesome. |

I enjoy John Askew's sets, he has complained a few times about lack of viable tracks though.
Chrostopher Lawrence is nice too but psy-ish most of the time, and you guys hate americans :toothless |
