don't think Gareth is a tranceproducer actually..
(old post but eh let's restart it)
I somehow agree Config...
I would say that times evolve and -in general- some people seem to be mixing up genres, all fine ... but somehow... ehm, everyone can like what they please... but please keep it distinct, trance is trance, electro is electro, progressive is not electro and so on...
And for what my preference is: Pure beauties (mostly uplifting), that give the same goosebumps now as trance did back in the '90s .... Nowadays I continue looking for similar recent beauties and not really "noise". I can just hope that the beauty of true trance never dies.
Ye ofc I can start an endless list (Oliver Lieb (like L.S.G.), Art Of Trance, Airbase, Airwave (and indeed all the other aliases), Chicane, Phi Phi, Kamaya Painters, Dumonde, 4 Strings, Quadran, Moogwai, Fast Distance, Wavetraxx, Luca De Maas, John O’Callaghan, Evol Waves, Ronald Hagen, Mark Sixma or M6, Solarstone, TrancEye, Leven Mervox, Mindful Innovations,
but hmm ... you see, loong list and missing tons...
So ... I can also only agree to what
Sunny Tomorrow said, times change and in every year there are somewhere awesome tracks hidden...
Therefore I can only thank AH.FM for sometimes discovering new trance beauties we overlooked
