You didn’t miss out, it’s been a weak year for trance. IMO

About 5 days left before vote close, so another push coming your way lads and lass'. Unlikely we will break last years vote record as we allowed guests to submit in 2023, which we didn't do this time, but 20+ more and we'll break 150 votes np. Lurker voting has been decent this year, so keep them coming if you are reading this from the shadows.

I genuinely don’t listen to enough new stuff to chuck a list together, other than ambient & dub techno 75%) and moody prog (25%) - and that’s not the point of this list.

 

[Altair]

Yeah I haven’t been paying attention to current trance really.

Not listened to trance all year?

The goa scene is seeing a small resurgence, which is the genre I love and would do anything to see it grow into a serious and known genre again. This new generation know jungle, techno, progressive but they have no idea goa is a genre. It never was a big thing, and doesn’t need to be now, but seeing new producers in other underground scenes take up the mantle gives me a lot to be happy about.

Rambal Cochet - Hertza Haeon
Gabriela - Winged Sun
Grabriola - Inner Engineering
Laars - What If You Fly
Lucinee - Avec Le Temps
Anders Hajem - Focal Point
Nickon Faith - Digital Moss (FROND Remix)
Asca - By Proxy
Illun - The Ancestral (Victoria Messor Sugar n CreaMix)
Alan Backdrop - Nezera
Oprofessionell - (My Mind Mix)
Rambal Cochet - Cerebral Plumbing

I did do a trance this year. And I listened to a trance too. That’s about the same number of sexes I did. Married life.

You gotta like the trance community, not listening to trance

I’m not active at all either, but you surely must have stumbled upon something? Really never heard Ferry's Fulfillment? Or Julians Time Warp? Hahaha.

I really liked the remix of Bethel music song. Honestly what I usually do is wait until this list comes out then go through it and always find some gems.

1. Andy Blueman - Synthetic Evolution, I am absolutely surprised no one mentioned this one yet.

There is a few votes for it, so should make the list. Typically 11points is enough to break into the top 100.

1. Ayu - In The End

Love this and that Thurlow Joyce track.

Rambal Cochet - Cerebral Plumbing

Welcome to the forum, nice selection of tracks, although this one is 5 years old

 

[Ruya]

Last minute got the votes in. Loved what UTE did this year, but I’m vibing with many of the tracks you guys have selected in your lists too.

 

[Sleepy Robot]

Thought i had to put my list in today but i see i've got a few extra days left. It's shaping up but doing some re-listening en shuffling. After all there are more tracks than i thought who are making a chance.
Don't want to drag it out too long though so maybe it will be in for the end of the day.

 

[Hensmon]

Here are mine, although I am away from my music library for the next week so memory is lacking. OTT - What Will Survive of Us Is Love, is my fav track of the year but not Trance enough so wont be in the in list. Seems like Trance adjacent tracks had most impact on me this year, but really did love the classic sounds from Julian, Enigma State, Activa and others. Probably purchased more underground music than ever before too, although had more standouts from 2023.

Martinou - Expanding
Solarstone - A Long Way From Home (Wisternoff & Grant Remix)
Quietman - Indian Eel
Bobby Shuman & Aerium - The Internal Screen
Esok - Lavender
Advanced Civilizations - Regenr8
Quietman - Dust2Water
Mikkel Rev - Whorl
AK-ONE - Surging
Alkemy - Cloud

I think the albums were better from this year, but not as good as 2022. Enjoyed all of these (Def forgetting one or two):

Quietman - Found Horizons
Shjva - WAR1210
Solar Alliance - HAMMARÖ-23
Acid Synthesis - Visions from the Future
AK-One - Nothing Grows in a Straight Line
OTT - Hireath
