1996 - GB takes control

Seventh in a series of mixes that charts the evolution of trance, from it's roots in the early 90s to the world domination of the turn of the century. This one takes in the sound of 1996 as trance moves into a more progressive direction, led by Chris Cowie's Hook Recordings.  British artists such as John Digweed's Bedrock and Way Out West push this new take on the trance sound.  Ferry Corsten makes his first appearances as Moonman and Discodroids, hinting at the more melodic and uplifting sound that would dominate in coming years.
