Now we're talkin'
favorite genre right hur
I'm a hard/anthem trance person, so my favorite artists by far are Alphazone; there will never be a better example of both styles. If you like this, download Resonate 5 this second.
From them I also heard about Nish, who is high up there as well.
Pierre Piennar - aka P.H.A.T.T. - is absolutely stunning, especially for someone from South Africa, an area with absolutely no trance scene. He's a big inspiration for many due to being one of the youngest A-List producers.
Dumonde is older, but I believe they were one of Alphazone's inspirations. Even in 2001, they had an incredibly refined sound as good as many songs coming out today. The vocal mix is better, but I can't find it on YouTube.
DJ Space Raven is the lord of cheesy music (this should be obvious from his name alone), but he's got amazing energy and I love him just the same.
Last but not least (ok, least), I make trance as well. I'm still a beginner, but here's something I'm working on, anyway. Large Never Look Back and Rockin influences in this one.

And just to wrap up, I despise Tiesto, Above and Beyond are ok sometimes, Armin van Buuren is good.
