Useless statement, just to get points up.

Depends what artists though.. some Pop artists might, like beyonce, thats a good example.

Other more matured genres actually do not repeat anything, unless you are referring to the chorus which is repeated in every song?

Dear sir. I do believe that you are only listening to certain kinds of music and that you should try some of the amazing stuff that is out there. I know that you are just trying to up your post count but oh how I wish I can play music for you that will give you shivers and make you moan for more.

For me Tiësto's Kaleidoscope and Kaleidoscope Remixed were some of his best work

I like John O'Callaghan and Tydi as well, But have you heard of Andy Blueman i think you would like that

I'll be 28 next month and my first exposure to electronic music was hearing ATB - 9pm ('til I come) off a Bump CD. For a long time it was my favourite tune until I came across Beyond Time by Blank & Jones off a mixed CD of theirs. But in college I discovered Nu NRG and they became my all time favourite producers (very sad that they broke up :cry:) and their track The Moon Loves the Sun is still my all time favourite trance track. Funny enough that you mention PvD as he's the one who actually discovered Nu NRG and because of that he is also a big favourite of mine! :D

His live sets from 2002-2004 is some of the best mixed trance I have ever heard in my life and to this day I still haven't heard anyone who can mix quite like him! :wtf: Which is obviously the reason why he won the title of No. 1 DJ in 2005 & 6.

With the names you mentioned one track immediately comes to mind: Paul Oakenfold - Southern Sun [DJ Tiësto Remix] :love:

As for Tiësto's best work my favourite would have to be his Copenhagen: Elements of Life World Tour DVD, particularly Disc 2: The Sound of Tiësto. Man, what an amazing concert! In fact here's one of my favourite tunes from that DVD:

^ When you watch the above you'll understand my jab at Armin for making heart symbols. :p

And yes I have heard of Andy Blueman. His work is also very similar to Simon O'Shine and Ciro Visone. I tend to listen to his tracks when I want to chillout though. One artist who I followed closely around the same time when I was following Tiësto was Airbase, man that guy had an unbelievable ability to make amazing remixes. Sadly he seems to have dropped off the radar for some reason. He actually did an amazing job remixing Elements of Life and his own productions from back in the day were top notch. I'd highly recommend checking him out, in fact most of his stuff is uploaded to his Youtube channel.

Yeah i also love my music and Mephisto we can say the same for you Xiphan i think i finally found someone i can talk trance with He stooped doing trance for a while as he said that his love for the music had died because of too much mainstream being pushed into it and only in the last 2 years i think he started comeing back into the scene which makes me happy

He is Also one of the verry Few Dj's that have done a lot of work for EA

Also tell me what you think about BT?

Woohoo! Sweet! I'm keen to talk trance anytime! :D

He did work for EA? Huh, something I didn't know but then again I stopped following him that closely when he decided to take that break.

As for BT I love them! My personal favourites are:

BT - Flaming June
Tiësto feat. BT - Love Comes Again
The Roots & BT - Tao Of The Machine (I know, I know not trance but this is an awesome tune from the Most Wanted OST)

I'm trying to decide which artist to ask you about now and I'm going through my music collection but there is simply too many to choose from.

Better yet have you ever mixed anything yourself? I made the following CD a while back which you may enjoy: https://soundcloud.com/xiphan/exultation-2
