The task here is to write the best of the bests, not underrated producers....so it is what it is then...Always the same biased copy pastę thoughts/answers from everyone. Sigh. Some better than others though
A Trance Hall of Fame, only 20 make the cut. Who makes it in? Who is the GOAT?

Vincent de Moor..yep,made some great Trance then left the scene..but still should be in the Hall of Fame. Thats why it should be around 50 producers,not 20 hehe.

Definitely a pioneer of electronic music, but I cant consider him as a trance legend, he did just a few trancy tracks...
I highly recommend his first 3 studio albums, plus any additional tracks and remixes he did up to the year 2000, if you fancy a chance to revise that opinion.
In terms of raw talent, quality of production and the all important heart and soul factor of music:
Oliver Lieb
Tilt
Humate
Nalin & Kane
Marc Mitchell
DJ Taucher
Solarstone
Andy Ling
BT
Simon Berry
Airwave
M.I.K.E.
Sander Kleinenberg
James Holden
Mac Zimms
Slacker
Chris Cowie
Marino Stephano
Moogwai
Fred Baker
Space Brothers
Vincent De Moor
Man With No Name
Sander Van Doorn
Matt Darey
Stevie B-Zet
Christian West
Graeme Laverty
Tiesto's ghost producers
Bervoets & De Goey
Armin
Ferry Corsten
Lange
Thrillseekers
Paul Oakenfold and his studio partners

Lost in Trancelation
GOAT for me is Airwave. I know he never had the epic label, radioshow or compilation (neither did Ferry really), but he has the most incredible range of productions and commitment in the scene, despite all that. He never had the huge fame but still feels like he gave everything and he never sold out! Never! He is the true Trance Warrior.
Oakie also has to be in there. Him and Tall Paul were the ones who put Trance on the map to begin with. He connected the US scenes and the European scenes and changed everything.

How much Trance did this dude actually make? I never listened to anything beyond the 1992 Accident In Paradise album, which I liked about 50% of it. He abandoned the scene quite quickly didnt he, def one of the 'Ferry Corsten Killed Trance' crew.

Maybe this was his biggest Trance hit:
Metal Master - Spectrum
Ofc. there was alot of more.. Barbarella, Astral Pilot etc.
his quote from recent years:
There was also a interview with thim, that he was shocked when he heard Paul Van Dyk at some festival, because he would not say that what Paul was playing its Trance music at all.
