Sorry to drag up an old post but I just read this and I thought there was a lot of good points!!!!!!

Personally, I haven't really had that much time for the Hard Trance Scene over the last few years. None of the music I hear seems to move me in the same way that Hard Trance did back in the nineties, the sort of stuff M-Zone and Mark EG were bangin' out!!!!!!!

But, I still think theres plenty good DJ's and Producers in the Trance scene these days. I still love John 00 Fleming's sets, still really up front and underground. I just bought this tune today that he was blasting out at the end of last year, Kox Box - Side Effects, f**kin' banging tune!!!!!!

Just a shame that so many of the tunes these days just seem to lack the freshness and originality of tunes from a good few years back!!!!!!
