the best hard trance out there

[DJCraig Ryan]

I was shocked and disturbed when I saw the first message on this thread - especially coming from Mr EG .................... but then I saw the date he wrote it and it made much more sense!

Hard Trance went through a proper shit period in about 2005/2006 but things have improved vastly in the last year. I would like to think that our label Intolerance Recordings has played a small part in that. We've also had the emergance of Vandall and hard trance in general is pretty awesome at the moment - especially when you consider where it was say 18 months ago.

Lets hope it comes back to the forefront where it belongs - but we really need the top DJ's to keep playing the best stuff out there so I hope the likes of Mr EG stick to their roots and don't go too far down the hardstyle route. It's difficult to see where hardstyle can go, but hard trance will never die!

Nice post man, i see where your coming from. Yea i agree its on the up. Personally i have been liking the techy side to Hard Trance, a good example of this is Kamui's sound.

For me it will never get back to the days of 2000 to early 2004. (Hennes & Cold, S.H.O.K.K, Flutlicht, Kramer & Pogadl ETC ETC) And i dont want to sound negative there but that was my fav sound of Hard Trance, and obviously it is changing all the time. But on a more positive note i agree with you in that it is improving and coming back to its roots. I feel Hardstyle is to blame for Hard Trances' decline A year - 2 years ago. Imo' alot of artists where trying to achieve this Hardstyle sound or 'Hardbass' sound into Hard Trance. And this is not what Hard Trance is about!!
