^ Come again? You show up and drop a random judgement Raneem. Maybe I'm not updated as much as you are with Trance music (since you're a Trance DJ) but I sure am up to date with almost everything happening on the scene, from different sub-genres of House Music, Psychedelic, Goa, DnB ... and not only Trance, then quantity differs of course. If I don't grab stuff, that doesn't mean I don't listen to shows, live sets, be informed or also get to listen to highlighted stuff the same as you do. Picking up this certain point of my comment is so reckless, read between the lines.

I'm definetly on the same ranks as SamEr and TRANCED. I've been obsessively listening to Trance since 1998 and geekily updating myself on a daily basis, and in a nutshell: Trance - in the broad sense of the genre - has never declined. Some subgenres fade out (Hard Trance a few years back), or get shadowed by other subgenres (Uplifting Trance as of late). Other subgenres become a current hype (Tech Trance in the past couple of years), while others just keep getting better every year (Progressive Trance post-Schulz). But not once during Trance's chronology did I feel that Trance, as a whole, is suffering from a decline. Certain subgenres may rise or fall, but the eventual outcome is always homeostathis... a balance.
