Recommend me some *Intelligent* Trance

[Jimbo Mahoney]

OK, so trance is *really* not my usual genre, but I'm a big Hybrid fan (I think they are classed as Trance, but I wouldn't put them in that genre...)

Current winamp playlist here:

I just heard a song (FB - "Who's Knocking" (Ferry Corsten remix)) that I really enjoyed, so I got Ultra Trance 5 (what a name...).

What a mix of stuff - some is awful and basic with contrived chord sequences, whilst other stuff is actually interesting or clever.

Could anyone recommend some artists / DJs who are consistently good and don't churn out your run-of-the-mill four chord "uhn-tiss" trance?

thanks!

I take it "Intelligent Trance" is an oxymoron then?

BT is your man.

EDIT2\\ Hybrid is breakbeats

Thanks, and thanks.

Giving a few a go now...

Get some Infected Mushroom.

Giving a few a go...

Cygnus X, Larent Garnier, Richie Hawtin, Jeff Mills. More techno than trance but I think you'll like them.

Trying Garnier...

A couple of DJ shadow tracks are.

Got a lot of his stuff.
