I was thinking tracks made in the last few years, but I'm easy. As, it appears, are other contributors to the thread

Just curious since there was another "trance" thread which made reference to the earlier years, 1991-2004

Bassline is absolutely fierce on a full range system.... Could do without the excessive pitch-bends though.

What an amazing set!

He is by far my favorite prog-psy artist.... Disturbed, Unknown Language, Secret Effects, Swing King.... Just about everything he puts out is good!

Extremely proud to say I knew this guy when he was just a young kid. He was teaching me stuff when he was half my age! Really amazing that he actually went on to get signed. Really gifted guy. I am not sure where he is today. I should look him up.

Sami started a great thread just over a year ago, listing some of the trance classics. I'd like to start a new list of modern trance tracks. Tracks from the last few years that aren't overloud and overcompressed. Tracks that just sound good.

I know there are lots out there but I want to start off with just three of my current favourites, and it'd be great if you'd post some of yours.

I like lots of tracks from Armada's 2007-2010 catalogue, some ASOT stuff from 2009, 2012, & 2018, and lots of Paul Oakenfold stuff from over the years; with of course plenty of old stuff mixed in. I've been listening to trance pretty avidly for the last 20 years, though I don't DJ and am only barely getting a little background on how production works with a DAW (first Logic, and currently a course in Live). I find that I have nostalgia for like Robert Miles for example ("Children" is ancient now...), ATB's "9PM 'Til I Come", and Alice Deejay's "Better Off Alone". The same goes for full albums of music from Sasha and Digweed, like their Expeditions title or Communicate. I have a soft spot for it. But I don't think that trance stops there. Those same techniques (no pun intended) are still viable and up for grabs to anyone who has the wherewithal to use them! I just saw Oakenfold last night along with Dave Ralph and the opening guy, and I will say this: the entire evening was laden with fairly epic stuff! Sure, there were a few tracks that needed more energy, but almost everything was superbly interesting like good trance should be.

Does Stephan Bodzin fit to the genre? I don't care too much about genres and sub-genres I need to like it. And that one fits. How could you fall into trance if its shorter than an hour???

Modern trance playlist - just the good stuff
