I love hard trance when it is got sharp Arpeggiated gated synths, powerful hardbass, epic melody, phat kickdrum and then the b side is an experimental/ alternative mix. But I don't blame producers for moving on with the sound.

Perfect Example Scot Project hates to be pigeonholed and makes intelligent Hard/Tech Trance
His Remix of Monochroma was pushing the sound to a new audience. Santy Mutari Back Space is another fine piece of work which has got an outstanding cinematic atmosphere about it and impressed a lot of Hard Trance DJ's.

Finally DJ Slideout and Max savietto deserve more recognition after the amazing tracks and remixes they have done so far this year.

But sometimes If it ain't broke don't fix it.
