There are many artists doing that though you have to dig for that as they are not very dance friendly or require getting used to. Some examples: Breakcore (Venetian Snares) - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zg1sgrw1PGM https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zg1sgrw1PGM Dark ambient (The Haxan Cloak) - https://youtu.be/9iBaQrDW544?t=590 https://youtu.be/9iBaQrDW544?t=590 Microtonal (Sevish) - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0v4JcuXoGIM https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0v4JcuXoGIM Sometimes it gets difficult to even categorize, take Igorrr for example which is a weird mix of folk/neoclassic/breakcore/black metal: https://youtu.be/UBakgOHKI-g?t=352 https://youtu.be/UBakgOHKI-g?t=352 Sometimes you find some experimental gems on Soundcloud as well: https://soundcloud.com/isqamusic/tree_eater https://soundcloud.com/isqamusic/tree_eater There are also some more recent 'mainstreamish' subgenres of trance too, search for psycore, hitech, high-bpm, etc... Unless you mean pushing the genre forward with also having a large audience, in which I would think more recent examples are Savant which has a lot of 8-bit and really well crafted dubstep (https://savantofficial.bandcamp.com/album/zion https://savantofficial.bandcamp.com/album/zion) or `*wave` (e.g. vaporwave).
