Stay by Alphazone

Alphazone is a trance artist, mostly—at least the approach that they bring is very trancey, as opposed to "hard dance".  Much of what I listen to is the opposite; it is on the border between hard trance and hardstyle, while most of Alphazone seems to be on the border of trance and hard trance.  While they do certainly make hard trance, I'd say that in general their style is more about basslines rather than exaggerated kicks.

Of course, that isn't quite as obvious from this track, which is their first big hit.  And Alphazone also did some absolutely great remixes of a number of tracks by a number of artists (the remix of Dave Joy's "Second Chase" is a big one.)

That said, a similar vibe can be said to relate to a few other artists as well that are notable hard trance artists, but who's focus is more on the trance than the hard.  Ralph Novell (and many of his various aliases) for example, or K90 spring immediately to mind.
