23 Best Trance DJs

13. ReOrder

It’s easy to get swept up in the legendary names of trance. What about a DJ that isn’t already cemented as a top DJ?

ReOrder has been around since 2006, which many consider a bit past the peak of trance. However, with support from artists like Ferry Corsten, van Buuren, van Dyk, and more, it’s hard not to rank this DJ.

If you’re looking for a DJ that isn’t already on every playlist, jump into ReOrder’s discography and see what you think!

14. Apollo Nash

Speaking of bridging genres, few artists have influences as deep as Apollo Nash. Bringing together his favorite inspirations into trance, Nash refuses to let a single sound define him.

Few artists bring such a strong variety to their music. If you’re looking for someone who can bring a discography of all-varied tracks, Apollo Nash may be your trance artist of the year.

15. Above & Beyond

We’ve mentioned a few pairs, but what about trios? Above & Beyond is made up of Jono Grant, Tony McGuinness, and Paavo Siljamäki. Most known for their releases with Richard Bedford, the trio is one of the most iconic in the London scene.

Above & Beyond topped the US charts with their fourth studio album. Constantly releasing new bangers, this trio is certain to have something you’d love.

16. Siskin

Another iconic duo, Suzanne Chesterton and Sue McLaren make up the trance duo Siskin. With Sue on vocals, the pair joined forces in 2019 to release their first single, Real Love. Debuting at the Ministry of Sound in late 2021, the pair is still picking up steam, seeming set to make 2023 a strong year for their releases.

17. Mavros

You may recognize Mavros under his previous alias, Joaquin Limon. Based out of Southern Cali, Mavros is far from a newcomer to the EDM scene.

Joining the collective Anjunabeats Rising, the artist made his statement with the track Abyss. As his music continues to grow and evolve, it’s hard to see an end in sight for Mavros. He’s still mixing different threads of EDM into his sound, releasing some tracks you can’t afford to miss.

18. Chris Giuliano

Christ Giuliano has been around for years, but it wasn’t until recently that the artist began to reach prominence. With his name on labels like Armada, Enhanced, Elliptical Sun, and more, this LA producer is setting standards for the industry.

Joining Anjunabeats as well, Giuliano continues to grow his influence across the industry. Continuing to land on festivals and draw eyes, Christ Giuliano is set to become one of the biggest artists in the coming years.

19. David Harrison

David Harrison doesn’t use his birth name for his music. Instead, you may recognize the name Super-Frog Saves Tokyo, usually shortened to Super-Frog. Reaching prominence with his track Kyoto in 2019, Super-Frog is a veteran music producer that focuses on analog production.

Inspired by some of the most classic artists from Bowie to Kraftwerk, Super-Frog’s first album was delayed by the COVID-19 pandemic. Now hitting true prominence, Super-Frog is an artist to keep your eye on.

20. Dustin Husain

The new artists are often brought in by the old, and Husain is no exception. Continuing to grow in prominence as a regular on Ferry Corsten’s Flashover, Husain’s music is often featured on A State Of Trance.

Continuing to grow with every year, Husain’s trance is constantly evolving. Chances are, if you’ve been listening to trance for the last few years, you’ve caught Husain accompanying some big names.

21. Sequence Six

Trance is great, but artists that don’t restrict themselves to a single genre are always a special treat. Sequence Six is one of the artists that refuses to put himself in a box.

Bridging genres across EDM, his work in trance has helped him garner a sizable following. Sequence Six doesn’t follow along with trends but rather puts out unique sounds for fans to follow.

22. Matt Fax

Combining trance and progressive house, Matt Fax’s career is still on the launching pad. With appearances at Dreamstate SoCal, Matt Fax’s 2020 releases of Progressions continue to grow his audience.
