New Trance Superstars on the Way!

   

For lunch I have 2 sandwiches with hagelslag, a Dutch special :p No, really, it's going to be very hard for DJ's to replace Legends like Tiësto. Luckily Tiësto is giving them a change by declining awards, so new meat can win it. I agree that you need some SICK skills to replace some of the guys you mentioned. Only one thing: Paul van Dyk is German, not dutch

There are a lot of "talents" in trance music today. Deejays like van Dyk, Tiesto and van Buuren, in my opinion, are a succes because they stepped in at the right time and made a big commercial succes of trance. At this moment I know a whole of artists or deejays that are just as good, maybe even better as those guys but don't have a big commercial company behind them to back them up. I mean, van Buuren and Tiesto are known as best deejays every year in de dj mag, but in my book book, there are better deejays around nowadays, but they don't have the recourses to become just a big as those 3. I believe that is a pitty because like this, trance is developing to slow for the big crowd that still believe trance is what van Buuren, Tiesto and van Dyk do, while there is so much more. We have progressive trance, uplifting, energetic and tech trance, not just the smooth commercial sound of the "big 3", thank God for that.

This are just some names that have already proven themselfs in very good productions, remixes and original tunes. To me, most of them are just as good as the names in the opening post. Maybe even better at some points.
