The thing is, nobody is filing this stuff under "trance"*. It's "trancey". That's not the same as being lumped in with the self-contained and increasingly irrelevant trance music scene. Guy J and Khen are progressive, Chymera and Dundov are techno. But they're all trancey.
*Except my mate who loves disco house and calls anything "trance" if it has so much as a single arpeggio.

Well, yeah, but it's music for fat people. And the elderly. That's how Latin music became moombahton, drum'n'bass became dubstep, and elevator music became Coldplay :(

You know it's bound to happen. I bet there's someone in Atlanta right now who just gave up on life and is speeding trap music down.
We had Souljah Boy. Our kids will have Morbidly O'bass

OT, the tracks that really stood the test of time to me (and maybe becuase of nostalgia but I don't believe it's only that) are...
Art Of Noise via Brothers In Rhythm - Dreaming: Colour Red
Jose Amnesia - Moonsurf - Joe' s Forgotten Mix
Tilt - Rendezvous (Tilt V Paul Van Dyk - Quadrophonic Mix)
Extreme Trax - Don't Stop (Yves Deruyter's Vision Mix)
Vincent De Moor - Shamu
Not Over Yet - Planet Perfecto feat Grace (Matt Darey Remix Edit)
Rodd-Y-Ler - Lifesigns (Original Mix)
Red Sun - This Love (Longredsun Mix)
Disco Citizens - Footprint (Sonic Original Mix)
Whiteroom - Whiteroom
Cliff Tangredi - Shimmer
Armin - Lost Soul Society.
, I could go on and on, and even though those are some of the bigger tracks from their periods, I still pull out those records periodically and that thing that Jack posted from Meyer, putting you in to a trance is right on the money.

Stop trying to put music in a box and just enjoy it.

You're behind the times, mate. It's become the in thing to drop a pitched-down trance classic into the mix. Notable examples of big DJs doing it recently include Nina Kravitz, Bicep, Patrice Baumel, Space Dimension Controller... even Sasha has overcome his crippling embarrassment about what he played in the '90s and has been sighted dropping Age Of Love and Sacred Cycles. It's becoming such a trend that the obligatory Wunderground parody has sprung up: http://wundergroundmusic.com/all-dj...e-song-by-2017/
Oh yea, I do recall some discourse over this on MD earlier on in the year. I been so busy since the move to Sac I've only been out to a handful of private local events. From what I've seen here (And I'm excluding Bay Area and Socal), people are still very house/techno aligned. But that said, I don't doubt this reemergence of trance and "trancey" in Europe. They say everything comes full circle, appears to be true. And I've loved me some Guy J throughout this year too :D
Definitely recognize a little Heaven Scent chord in the beginning

Joris Voorn's latest set is trancey. Really good stuff in there

As ever, IGK, you're so completely out of your depth in a conversation that you throw in some specious platitude to reassure yourself. It doesn't make you sound wise, you know.

I still listen to the same tracks I listened to 10+ years ago. The overblown stuff has fallen off for the most part, but it's fun to listen to those too every now and then. A big chunk of my playlist consists of darker proggy trance, but it varies wildly.
I certainly don't get why one should abandon one style of music in favour of something else, or be embarrassed by the stuff they used to listen to.

all of my trance tracks have remained "in my collection", as i am waaaay too much of a jew to throw them out. so, the relevant question for me would be 'which tracks have you bought again from beatport coz you're too ing lazy to move your vinyl to your PC?'
MIKE features a lot; silverbath, love angel, the legacy, magic impulse etc.
unlike most i've never stopped loving it and am not the least bit ashamed of that :) i still buy it now, if im lucky enough to stumble across something that isn't . the progressive (albeit mainstream) space seems to have the melodies im into much more than the epic stuff that got my party started back in the day.

These still whisk me away from whatever and wherever I am into a different state. I totally space out every time. Daydream central.
It's what I imagine shooting heroin is like, my mind clears and i'm off in my minds eye.
Artemisia - What Comes Around Goes Around
The Conductor & The Cowboy - Feeling This Way (Solar Stone Instrumental)
Hypertophy - Beautiful Day (DJ Jean & Peran Power dub)
Grace - Not Over Yet (Perfecto Mix)
Transa - Prophase (X-Cabs Remix One)
Christian West - Eterna (Main Mix)
Natious - Amber (Silk Remix)
Pulp Victim - Dreams Last For Long (Vincent de Moor Remix)
System F - Out Of The Blue (Extended Mix)
Retroflex - Feel The Vibes

You suck though, and won't acknowledge prog trance. Tracks like this... you were missing out. I loved the unicorn too, but not like this.
