2003 - 2005 i feel like i was at my peak, i was regularly attending the likes of creamfields, global gathering, homelands etc.

i was bang into trance back then so it was perfect.

ive been trying to think of the tunes that were doing the rounds back then, and i have come up with a top 5...list is not exhaustive and in no particular order:

Motorcycle - As The Rush Comes - AVB and Sweeping Strings mixes

Ronald Van Gelderen - Sustain

Poloroid - So Damn Beautiful (Dogzilla Mix - basically anything simon patterson touched turned to gold)

Basic Dawn - Pure Thrust (Nu-NRG Mix)

Kontact - Show Me A Sign

honourable mention is Ferry Corsten - Punk

there are so many that i loved, but what are your top 5 from this period? trying to jog my memory with some of your help!

Years ago, I saw stanton warriors, 2 many djs, and plump djs (not sure if they are breaks?).

Then, at the end of last year, I saw stanton warriors again (first time in 20 years) and that man rocked my socks. Im a dnb guy for all intents and purpose, but listening to him was a lovely change of pace. So i started grabbing a few tracks to have a mix at home.

So I've got a bunch of stanton warriors stuff and plenty of Framewerk.

But here is where my knowledge ends.

Who else should I be listening to along the same lines? Something dirty and original, something lighter? I dont mind bootlegs either, I'm not up to speed with the newer producers, do you guys have some artist suggestions and perhaps some recommendations for some absolute weapons? Is there such a thing as minimal breaks? Something new but in an 80s lock n pop style?

Thanks

I'm really digging this stuff again!
