^ Your top10 is way too techy!
Where's Daniel Kandi

[Nicktalopia]

haha maybe cause most of Daniel kandi's stuff are not live set material,i've only seen Armin including his tracks during Armin Only.(Time to rest Remix) And (Deep Psychosis remix.)
Poor guy he even got most of the votes to play at the ASOT party but Armada did not include him among the line up for odd reasons.

I didn't hear anything remarkable from Cosmic Gate this year..The individual projects were successful though.

Kandi is not on my top list.

[align=center][b]1-Ferry Corsten despite the somehow disspointing single "Radio Crash" Ferry is still a leading Producer & a hit maker,his album "Twice in a blue moon"is packed with #1 songs.

2-Markus Schulz 08 has been a great year for Markus,everything he touches turns gold,he is definitly a major player in the Trance scene that we will have to get used to hear his name years and years from now.

3-Signum,The Trance Masters that never get old ,just like wine the older they get the better they become,they managed to walk the flow after the huge evolution Trance witnessed since their first productions yet they can still make #1 hits keeping their Signum original sound alive in our ears.

4-Aly & Fila the 2 Egyption trance icons,there will always be conteversy about their Singles and Remixes having similar sound but that's what made them so special,say what you want about Aly & Fila still you can't deny always looking forward to anything new they produce.

5-Armin Van buuren, His album imagine might have been a major dissapointment or a plesant shock to some of his fans,however his famous radio show ASOT kept his popularity at constant increase.

6-Daniel Kandi, Kandi is known to produce crowd friendly tracks,the type anyone can easily relate to, he intriduces a different emotional side of Trance the current scene seems to lack,with countless recognized appreciated tracks at various radio shows,Daniel kandi is at the top of his game,09 looks very promising for him.

7-Above & Beyond With a massive album under the Alias OceanLab a Successful radio show and managing to play for 1 million people not too long ago,there's nothing Above & Beyond can not achieve.

8-John Askew,A fantastic quality dj and producer,you have to check out his latest album to get a clue about the talent this man holds.

9-Tom Colontonio Definitly the producer of the year for me,There's not even a single track or remix done by him i didn't like.

10-John O Callaghan,JOC deserves much more recognition than what he's currently getting,the only thing he is missing a personal album!

11-Raneem,yes the infamous TH resident happens to be a Smart producer too,smart because he knows the right keys of a successful track not just that he is also a great remixer.With a sound inspired by taking the best bits from other producers in the business mixed with his own unique sound Raneem is a timed trance bomb we should all watch for.

12-DJ Shah Shah has a history that speaks for itself,if you lost track following his productions due to his various aliases then his magical chill relaxing sound is enough to identify that he still got it.

13-Leon Bolier Leon managed to leave his mark using his unique signature,a great dj to watch performing Live as well.

14-Orjan Nilsen A rising talent to look forward to in 09.
15-Alex M.O.R.P.H. keeps giving,a very hard working producer that always delivers quality tunes.
16-Carl B Carl never dissapoints,everything he produces is always top notch,you really can't go wrong with someone that good at what he does.
17-Airbase is one of the producers that have a definate sound yet nothing short of amazing.
18-Andy Blueman A great young talent with nothing but quality productions,one of the rare producers that's still faithful to the original Trance sound.[/align][/B]

That's my top 18 for this year.
You might agree/disagree but it's a personal selection so disagreeing is a normal thing.
