The hardstyle producers are even worse at doing this in my opinionw hich is why hard trance is my preferred style of the two. This meant stale sounding music (Even though im a hardstylke fan as well). Producers like Digital Pressure, Jon Doe, Marco V, Andreas Kraemer and Marcos have however done blinding work this year and should be commended.

Good post Louk. One thing I've always had since I was little was ideas. they may be implausible or whackey, but I've never been able to not think my way out of a situation. Bizarrely drugs have hinderd my brain... I can feel myself not as sharp as I used to be, but in the same light it has given me another perspective to think and feel from.

Music is a huge challenge producing wise for me. I have ideas I so far, but cannot deliver them how I want them to be heard. I will one day (I hope!)... they may be popular or may be not, but I'm still going to pursue them. It seems to happen to all producers at some point, they struggle to make something that they have not done before, even with long gaps between releases. Now I really hope I get to that point some day. The day which I can't think my way out of something. Total Deadlock. I would love that so much... the problem is yourself... your own personal constrictions and boundries of ideas. Seems like the biggest personal challenge one could encounter. Freeing your mind from its own limits.

Perhaps I'm over-elaborating things... but hey its that perspective which motivates me to try things and to do things with music.
