Arksun

No comments on this guy? This man is a genius and real trance mastermind. He is responsible for Astrodancer, Arisen and the whole project of Luminary. Sadly he never was very active on producing trance. He was active between 1999-2002 and did some real classic trance back then. Then disappeared and like five years later released Arisen, which was voted as best trance track of 2006. I remember when nobody knew who the guy was, everyone was wondering how a new comer can make such track. Well, he wasn't a new comer. It was about that time when he made Luminary project and released also a legendary track Amsterdam which has some insane remixes.

I remember back in ~2009 when I still was a fanboy of A State Of Trance, there was that network and IRC channel of the radioshow, where actually Armin himself would join sometimes during his weekly show, some many other DJs and producers too from time to time. So Arksun use to hang out there too, he used to connect when the show was airing. I remember I messaged him asking why wasn't he producing anymore and he simply replied he was too busy with sound producing or whatever he does for living today.

So, in overall a bit sad when true talents just stays in the shadows and lets cheap crap to take over the world.
