Tiesto is pretty much the LAST big name trance DJ who should be derided for being formulaic.ДЇerry still plays quite a lot of traditional prog/epic trance in his sets and on mix comps, even if his newer productions have been stylistically different than his epic trance productions of old. but take a listen to an episode of Club Life - you will hear everything from electro-house, to regular house, to trance, hell even a bit of tech-house. If you only listened casually to the middle of an episode of ASOT, you'd be more than forgiven for thinking that.

You probably haven't heard much in the way of newer trance. They're all good and get mixed together anyway ofcourse (except electro house, that's big room garbage). Hague electro (i-f/legowelt/bangkok impact) similar to the last three tbh. they've trekked half way across europe to an airfield to listen to a whiney bitch sing about 1982. Ibm electro (miss kittin/boris divider/exzakt) somewhat straight yet don't care. they are just crazy.Д®lectro techno (drexciya/model 500/aux 88) either in macs/with macs being geeky or going crazy. Real electro (egyptian lover/planet patrol/kraftwerk) does not have glowsticks as these people are too crazy to bother with glowsticks. Old hipster electro (felix da housecat/vitalic/adult.) what the nu hipsters were into like 5 years ago. though tbh, the glowstick stage was so over like 8 months ago. Nu hipster electro (justice/boys noize/soulwax) has glowsticks because it's fans are tits even if the music is good. Grab it here -> Д®lectro house (dave spoon/d ramirez/mason) has glowsticks because it's fans are lager drinking muscle men who listen to pete tong. aka Midway, Salt Tank, Nu-Nrg, Way out West, Yahel, Three Drives, The Space Brothers, M.I.K.E., Smith & Pledger, Above & Beyond, Mike Shiver, POS, Probspot and so, so much more.ДЇor the people looking for older Trance, I have generated my own WinAmp playlist and copied the tracklist to a TXT file. If you are looking for good Trance, you should mainly look for producers like Solar Stone, The Thrillseekers aka Rapid Eye, BT, Gouryella, Chicane, Ralphie B. The breaks were also way better and the tracks themselves didn't sound overly clean as they sound today. It had way more hypnotising riffs, basslines and melodies and percussion. There's so much more, but I can not be arsed to type all of it right nowДЄlso for people who like Trance from now should really give the older Trance a listen. Paul van Dyk live Gatecrasher Summer Sound System Armin van Buuren back2back with Ferry Corsten live Gatecrasher Paul van Dyk live Cream, Amnesia Ibiza Orbital Final Performance live Maida Vale 28/07/04 Some really good sets you shouldn't miss out on if you like EDM are: Armin has gone to shit, even winning some kind of POP music prize recently and my former hero Paul van Dyk doesn't do it for me anymore too. Anyway, I mainly listen to old(er) Trance right now, because I'm not happy with the direction it went for, like 3/4 years ago.
