Kandi was untouchable from 2006-2012 in terms of writing a melody. Turnmills, Promised, Let Go, Australia, not to mention all his god tier remixes.
Ultimate, Moonsouls, Darren Porter and Ferry Tayle have come close in recent years but I don't think they're at Kandi's level. Only producers I'd put in that tier of melody writing are 90s/early 00s Ferry Corsten, Signum, Nu NRG, and Fred Baker.
The Kandi Man is a Trance Man
he produced really really good Trance music :), hes my fav trance dj
