    If you listen reggaeton everyday, you are afraid of 138. It's normal!

      I can understand why people think this label went downhill a bit; it's just a gradual shift in sound towards a bit more variety. Admittedly, the psy and tech trance here is not nearly as good compared to labels that actually specialize in those genres, but there's still some pretty intense tracks.

        In 2018 still has plenty of trash releases, but then again i guess as its Armada and one of their only 'real' trance labels everything has to get piled into this label. Shinovi, Alchemyst, Chris Schweizer all keep getting plenty of releases - for what reason i dont know. Still some quality uplifting trance but not as much as in the beginning.

          Gone a little downhill in 2017, used to be essential each release but some recent tracks have been awful. Like some weird big room style tech trance but uglier.
