WOW! That's a lot of updates in one day! Alright here it goes!
Yes my sound has evolved in parallel with my taste, shifting into styles I have always loved and other styles that I am currently discovering.
When it comes to Trance, I now only enjoy Progressive Trance; high BPMs don't do it for me anymore. I compliment Progressive Trance with the melodic side of Progressive House, most of which can easily be labeled as Progressive Trance due to its highly melodic content. This is the sound I am playing on NRJ Mastermix, entirely out of free will since NRJ gave me complete autonomy of choice as to how my show sounds like.
As for my "dark side" that I am not showcasing on Mastermix, it consists of dark (though melodic) Progressive House paired with Melodic Techno (my current favorite sound). This is what I'm playing on Eclectica, particularly as of Eclectica 004 and onwards.
I don't really favor one of these two "sides" over the other - my taste is broad enough and my mind is musically open enough to explore and enjoy a wide array of sounds.
Raneem I don't understand why you are bothered by this. Just listen to any episode of my show or check the samples of the tracks that you don't know and you'll see for yourself that I have not "betrayed" Trance for 1) I still play ProgTrance and 2) the ProgHouse I play is EXTREMELY similar to ProgTrance and is appealing to even the most hardcore Trance Nazis like Kamil and Johnny. I don't expect you to enjoy the Eclectica series much but I'm pretty sure you'll love the show if you tune in to any episode.
Big thanks to everyone who participated in this particular thread! It was enriching going through your different opinions.
