Not sure I agree. Who are the big ones now? Solarstone, Activa, Thrillseekers, Will Atkinson, John 00 Fleming, Above & Beyond... I'd say they are all notably different.
I'd say of those in the List Above and Beyond can't even be called trance in all honesty, They're EDM with a trancy touch here and there.

The big UK trance DJ’s are totally indistinguishable from each other and should morph into one dj.

Not sure which ones you mean,but id say The Thrillseekers is an exception,hes pretty much kept his unique style and you can tell its him. And why just the UK haha? 90% of trance producers are generic as hell nowadays,doesnt matter which country.

Ofcourse i am exaggerating a little bit, but John O Callaghan, Will Rees, Bryan Kearney, Factor B, Darren Porter, David Rust etc etc. I just notice there are so much of these same sounding guys and I have yet to hear a legendary set from them.

oh yeah,i agree on most of them - they are overrated to hell imo. Not a patch on some of the legendary older Trance producers.

Unless you’re the Chemical Brothers, cut this shit out. Maybe just have a splash screen behind you telling the crowd “put your phones away and dance” :ROFLMAO:

I really think it’s beautiful. Imagine we had these at Trance Enery end of the nineties? I would have loved it. I think it’s the smartphones and crowd behaviour that kilsl the atmosphere, not the visuals.
