I guess in my posts of outstanding trance artists, Joe GarrettĀ aka “Temple One” was mentioned often enough and there are only a few people out there, whose releases contain such a consistent quality as the ones from Joe.
ButI want to recommend the works of Simon Patterson as well whose tracks are always a pure pleasure to listen to. There are not many DJs out there that create such interesting tracks that consist of floating, heavy beats, progressive elements combined with very melodic breaks and main themes – all of these mixed perfectly and never boring.
You can listen to a lot of tunes (in full length) on his Myspace page. Note especially “Always” – one of the best trance releases last year, “Thump” and theĀ new track “Miss you” which contains a very nice piano theme.
There seems to be a release festival of Temple One remixes going on at the moment. Not only that “Moonlight madness” by AF Project was released just a short while ago, a remix of “Blue Skies” by Ata is finally out too. This track made it even to the Top 5 sales charts of Audiojelly when it still was a more expensive exclusive release. Which one is better? Don’t know, each has it’s unique style. Here are the excerpts of Joe’s remixes:

Just visited Temple One’s Myspace page and I was stunned by an excerpt of a fantastic new track, a remix for the Romanian DJ ATA called “Blue skies” which plays right at the beginning when you enter the page. What a break! Hopefully soon this and “Offshore is gonna be released.
So far this trance year has delivered a lot of mediocre tunes for my taste. But maybe it is because I am getting older and becoming more and more picky? Whatever it is, it helps the content of my purse. I want to mention though that two or three outstanding tracks were released so far as they are
