Thu, 25 Sep 2025 20:30:00 +0000

Summary Liam McNamara, known as ASTOR, brings a unique story of blending a full-time finance career with an emerging path as a DJ and producer. Based in New York City, he describes how his love for progressive house grew from festival experiences and artists like Avicii, Calvin Harris, and the Chainsmokers. For ASTOR, music follows cycles, and he believes the melodic, euphoric energy of progressive house is ready for a resurgence in the global scene. Originally pursuing music as a hobby after completing his CFA exams, ASTOR quickly evolved from curiosity to club performances. His breakthrough came when he was offered the chance to open for Julian Jordan, followed by opportunities to share the stage with Hardwell and Nicky Romero. These early shows fueled his commitment to production, supported by mentorship from Mikey Ferrari, who guided him from the basics of Ableton to creating professional tracks. With releases like Storm, Holding Tight, and most recently Stars, ASTOR has demonstrated consistency in hitting his yearly release goals. He explains how regimented schedules, daily practice, and goal setting allow him to balance demanding work with music creation. His success on Revealed Radar with Holding Tight marked a major milestone, proving that persistence pays off even while self-releasing. ASTOR also shares his experience at Afrojack’s Wall Pro Academy writer’s camp during Tomorrowland, calling it an inspiring and transformative moment that pushed him further. Looking forward, he aims for bigger festival stages while staying grounded with small club sets, always focused on connecting emotionally with his audience through melody and energy.

Andrea Grasselli (ATCG) - From Persistence to Global Tech House Recognition on the Virtual Sessions 9/25/25

Thu, 25 Sep 2025 17:00:00 +0000

Summary Andrea Grasselli, better known as ATCG, joins from Milan to share how persistence and passion have shaped his career in electronic music. Starting with his unique artist name, derived from being born in 1989 at the close of the 80s, he emphasizes how identity plays a role in connecting with audiences. His path has been fueled by determination, from sending over a thousand demos to Patrick Topping before finally earning a release on Trick, to reimagining Tujamo’s hit Who into an Afro Latin remix that gained official recognition. Andrea reflects on the realities of production, often creating hundreds of demos but selecting only a fraction for release. He highlights the importance of management teams like Origami, who have helped him align with the right labels at the right moments. His cover of Rihanna’s Don’t Stop the Music stands as a career milestone, reaching number one on BeatForce after initially being intended only as a VIP remix. Balancing music with personal passions, Andrea speaks about late-night production sessions, staying grounded with football and motorcycling, and overcoming creative blocks by exploring other genres. He shares candid stories of hearing his music unexpectedly in restaurants, managing the highs and lows of festival performances, and decompressing from the adrenaline of live shows. Andrea’s advice for upcoming artists is simple yet powerful: consistency outweighs raw talent. With residencies across Milan, Bergamo, and Cremona, and upcoming performances at ADE, he continues to carve out his place in the global tech house community while keeping his creative roots and Italian pride at the center of his journey.

Nikki Camilleri - Building Artist Success Through Strategy and Super Fans on the Virtual Sessions 9/24/25

Wed, 24 Sep 2025 17:00:00 +0000

Summary Nikki Camilleri joins from London to share her inspiring journey in the music industry, from her early beginnings in Malta to making her mark as a Forbes 30 Under 30 honoree. Raised with a love for art but limited opportunities in creative industries, Nikki discovered her passion through the Young Enterprise competition, which propelled her to the UK and into a career that combined business acumen with music. Her story highlights the power of persistence, internships, and hands-on learning, which ultimately led her to roles at Warner Records and eventually to founding her own venture, Mana. She explains how Mana began as small workshops in 2019 and evolved into a full-fledged company offering mentorship, A&R, and strategy services for independent artists. Nikki emphasizes that artists today cannot work alone – building a team and understanding business fundamentals are essential to longevity. She advocates for careful planning while remaining adaptable, likening an artist’s career to a constantly evolving startup. A key part of Nikki’s philosophy revolves around the concept of super fans. She contrasts them with passive listeners, showing how dedicated supporters drive revenue through tickets, merch, and direct engagement. By focusing on relationship-building and capturing fan data, artists can create sustainability beyond fleeting social media trends. Nikki also touches on the importance of PR, distribution, and brand positioning as interconnected building blocks for artist growth.

Jvst Breathe - From Software Engineering to Musical Expression on the Virtual Sessions 9/23/25

Tue, 23 Sep 2025 20:30:00 +0000

Summary Tavian, better known as Jvst Breathe, shares his journey from classical training and computer science into electronic music, revealing how his analytical background fuels creativity. Growing up playing trombone, trumpet, violin, and guitar, music always came naturally, though he paused during high school and college to focus on sports and studies. After graduating in computer science, he faced a crossroads between climbing the corporate ladder or pursuing passion. Choosing music, he discovered production as both a challenge and an outlet for self-expression. He reflects on early struggles and breakthroughs, explaining how turbulent life experiences and relationships drove him to create. Music became a necessity, a way to translate emotion into sound. His artistic name Jvst Breathe symbolizes mindfulness, spirituality, and a reminder to pause amid chaos. Inspiration comes from adventures, emotions, and the energy of dance floors, with festivals and raves shaping his understanding of how sound can connect and move people. Production-wise, Tavian primarily uses Ableton Live and Serum, focusing on software-based sound design while learning to reintroduce analog instruments. He openly discusses overcoming creative blocks by taking breaks or diving into new learning, a process that mirrors his engineering mindset. Influences range from Taiki Nulight to Eminem, with admiration for local peers like Joosh who inspire him through performance and creativity. Looking ahead, Tavian teases new originals, remixes, and live mixes, including a Lil Wayne remix and exclusive sets recorded at beach events. With a focus on authenticity, growth, and community, Jvst Breathe is carving a unique path that blends technical skill, emotional honesty, and a vision for innovation in dance music.

Long before club nights and late studio sessions, they spoke in melodies, cutting their teeth on classic instruments like trombone, trumpet, and violin. That early discipline trained an ear for tone, harmony, and dynamics, a foundation that does not just teach notes but patience, listening, and intention. Hours of scales, ensemble rehearsals, and tiny breakthroughs built a quiet confidence that would later resurface on stage and in the studio. In high school and college, practical choices edged out creative ones, and Jvst Breathe stepped away from music to pursue computer science. The problem solving rush and elegance of a well written function became a new canvas. Debuggers replaced practice rooms; compilers replaced metronomes. Yet the logic of music never let go. Pattern, repetition, and variation still mapped neatly onto how they thought. The spark reignited in 2022, when they realized that modern music production is not far from programming at all. It is systems thinking with sound, architecture expressed as arrangement, and algorithms disguised as grooves. Once that connection clicked, tools that used to feel opaque suddenly became expressive. Early 2023 brought a new obsession, DJing. What began as curiosity quickly became a craft, then a calling. Mixing gave structure to the producer’s imagination and an instant feedback loop with the people in the room. Every blend taught a lesson in energy, pacing, and restraint, and every set sharpened instincts that software could only hint at. By October 2023, after months of relentless practice and tiny victories, Jvst Breathe played a first show in San Francisco. That milestone transformed private study into public promise, and friends into early supporters willing to stay until the lights came up. It also confirmed a simple truth: connection arrives when preparation meets presence, and the room always rewards honesty over perfection, every single time. Six months later, that promise demanded a leap. Jvst Breathe moved to Los Angeles to pursue music in earnest, stepping into a city where dreams feel close and rent feels closer. They arrived with little more than a laptop, a hard drive, and stubborn belief, taking on ninety hour weeks as an independent contractor to keep the lights on while chasing a sound of their own. Mornings belonged to code, nights to clubs, and weekends to workflow experiments, crate digging, and set prep. The grind was brutal and clarifying. It tested resolve, sharpened workflows, and proved that momentum lives in daily discipline before it ever shows up as a breakthrough. Today, Jvst Breathe works as a software engineer at a social media marketing company, translating day job tools directly into the artist’s toolkit. Content is not an afterthought; it is part of the instrument rack. They approach branding like a product roadmap, storytelling like a sprint, and audience building like user research. Short form edits, posting cadence, analytics, and automation all feed the creative engine, helping the music find ears without losing its heart. The aim is to bridge product thinking with artistic intuition so releases and performances feel intentional, iterative, and alive. The sound emerging from this hybrid life carries the fingerprints of both disciplines. You can hear the brass section schooling in the way basslines breathe and lead converse. You can feel the coder’s patience in the architecture of builds and releases. Sets move with logic but never feel predictable, coursing through house and adjacent club textures with an emphasis on groove, momentum, and emotional release. In the studio, Jvst Breathe favors tactile experimentation, resampling, modulation, and iterative versioning that treats each session like a small product ship. The result is music that aims for clarity and lift, built to move a floor and linger afterward. Community matters, too. The Bay Area debut created a circle of friends who still trade stems and ideas, while Los Angeles provides a high pressure, high inspiration environment that keeps the bar rising. Each room teaches something new, how to open gently, how to reset a dance floor, how to end with gratitude. Those lessons flow back into production and back out into sets, where narrative, tension, and relief become the language of connection. The name is a reminder to slow down, breathe, and serve the moment instead of the ego. Looking ahead, Jvst Breathe is building deliberately, song by song, set by set, and system by system, knowing that longevity comes from process as much as from inspiration. The mission is simple and ambitious at once, to make records that feel inevitable and performances that feel personal, rooted in craft and delivered with care. Nothing is rushed; everything is iterated, tested with people, and refined until the intention is clear and the feeling is undeniable. Follow along as the story accelerates. For studio snippets, show announcements, and works in progress, find Jvst Breathe at @jvstbreathemusic on Instagram and TikTok, where the content brain meets the crate digging heart. Step into a world where signal flow meets feeling, where code becomes cadence, and where every night is an invitation to just breathe.

Finding Creativity Through Structure with Textbook Maneuver on the Virtual Sessions 9/18/25

Thu, 18 Sep 2025 20:30:00 +0000

Michael, better known as Textbook Maneuver, joins for an insightful conversation that explores how science, structure, and creativity intertwine in his musical journey. Growing up with a love for music but rooted in a professional career as a chemist, Michael shares how his analytical background influenced his approach to learning and producing. His artist name reflects this very methodical nature - diving into textbooks, experimenting, and developing a disciplined foundation before evolving into his current cinematic electronic sound. He discusses his early piano lessons and the pivotal role of receiving a piano as a gift, which shaped his lifelong connection to music. Michael reflects on balancing influences from classical composers like Satie and Ravel with the raw energy of metal, punk, and progressive rock, which all feed into his eclectic style today. His EP Strike Joy and full-length album Adrenaline Slip mark milestones that not only capture his evolving sound but also symbolize his mission to create music that inspires positivity and introspection. Throughout the interview, Michael highlights the challenges of standing out in a saturated digital landscape and the importance of trademarking and branding as an artist. He also shares his fascination with building unique sonic textures through software, synthesizers, and improvisation while acknowledging the perfectionist tendencies that sometimes slow creative flow. His vision for Life Science Records reflects his DIY ethic and a long-term goal to nurture other artists. Michael’s story is one of curiosity, persistence, and innovation - blending scientific discipline with artistic exploration to forge a unique identity in electronic music. Topics 0:06 - Origins of the Textbook Maneuver name and scientific background 5:35 - Describing music style in three words and cinematic influences 8:21 - Creating Strike Joy EP and discovering his sound 13:30 - Inspiration and naming of Adrenaline Slip album 19:07 - Early musical background and family piano story 23:37 - Lessons on discipline, perfectionism, and songwriting methods 28:12 - Transition from analog piano to software-based production 33:28 - Reflections on production complexity and influences from pop teardown 38:44 - Key electronic inspirations from Gary Newman to Boards of Canada 49:03 - Hobbies, daily life, and vision for Life Science Records Connect with Textbook Maneuver Bandcamp: https://lifesciencerecords1.bandcamp.com/ About Textbook Maneuver - Emerging electronic project Textbook Maneuver has unveiled a mesmerizing track and video, ‘Nocturnal Musings’, released on his Life Science Records, LLC imprint. With nearly 130,000 streams across platforms to date, the project has steadily drawn the attention of the global IDM and experimental electronic community. Interviews with Magnetic Magazine, Illustrate Magazine, features on WWAM (We Write About Music), Music For All (Brazil), and Good Music Radar have already highlighted the project’s immersive debut album Adrenaline Slip (2025). It is clear that Textbook Maneuver is emerging as one of experimental electronic music’s most intriguing new figures. Michael Keane is the Bronx-born, New Jersey-based composer behind the Textbook Maneuver alias. A classically trained pianist with a punk DIY heart, Keane blends cerebral sound design with cinematic storytelling, drawing from a wide palette of influences that stretch from Genesis (Duke era), Rush, and Gary Numan to The Postal Service, U.N.K.L.E., and Phantogram. Under the Textbook Maneuver moniker, his releases balance the intellectual curiosity of IDM with the emotional resonance of ambient and prog-influenced electronica, offering soundscapes fit for film, television, and interactive media. His music thrives on improvisation and sonic experimentation, refusing easy classification while remaining deeply accessible. With critics comparing his sound to Jon Hopkins and Nils Frahm, listeners are sure to hear echoes of Boards of Canada, μ-Ziq, and Squarepusher. ‘Nocturnal Musings’ is an off-kilter glitched-out dreamscape, unfolding with restless beats that shape-shift beneath jagged synth stabs, blinking beeps, and spectral textures, evoking the drift of a mind caught between realities. The accompanying video, all caught on a trail camera set up outside the artist’s studio, shows eerie black and white footage of animals meandering in the snow in the dead of night. Textbook Maneuver shared: “I spent much of my time composing for the Strike Joy EP in a fully screened porch at night, during the height of cricket and frog activity, focusing on loops and sound design. Elements of the rhythms and tones from nature helped inspire ‘Nocturnal Musings’. The video for the song is from footage I captured on the trail camera set up outside the studio, sticking with the night hours synced up with the song. It was a fun creative experience." “A spaced-out odyssey of an album, leaning heavily into the ambient & leftfield side of electronic music.” Magnetic Magazine “Textbook Maneuver creates music that takes listeners on an atmospheric journey.” Illustrate Magazine “No words required here. It’s all emotive sound, frequencies, and there’s plenty of it to entertain, energize, and even hypnotize.” Good Music Radar Bandcamp: https://calendly.com/url?q=https%3A%2F%2Ftextbookmaneuver.bandcamp.com&user_uuid=4c2b2c86-3956-4a9d-977c-78e986d23990&stage=1&hmac=eae4cc73c18d08e45025ca0e7fe48d8b655c93fdcc7a7b87be83749e49ff8ff2TikTok https://calendly.com/url?q=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.tiktok.com%2F%40lifesciencerecords&user_uuid=4c2b2c86-3956-4a9d-977c-78e986d23990&stage=1&hmac=c96b8f392718b3a25c2c85a4bcd6f240ce183846d8e6aa6d2273045c18cf3346 Label: Life Science Records https://calendly.com/url?q=https%3A%2F%2Flifesciencerecords1.bandcamp.com%2F&user_uuid=4c2b2c86-3956-4a9d-977c-78e986d23990&stage=1&hmac=412eb482681f1840ed107a57e25ff94ef28afcf9c01b5b7a658efb21d133ca2dSpotify https://calendly.com/url?q=https%3A%2F%2Fopen.spotify.com%2Fartist%2F5f9O1kS96ShpCQiXqoWLDS&user_uuid=4c2b2c86-3956-4a9d-977c-78e986d23990&stage=1&hmac=e6438764f6e91bfe87dee2e22aa83a9399a7520db63eebf2a3ceec2b5d52abf5 ITunesApple https://calendly.com/url?q=https%3A%2F%2Fmusic.apple.com%2Fartist%2F1787480924&user_uuid=4c2b2c86-3956-4a9d-977c-78e986d23990&stage=1&hmac=f6cbae667318a8f2bd2c8ec725a73498f35fcbf2ed84aabcabeaa7ad3f962b80 About The DJ Sessions - “The DJ Sessions” is a Twitch/Mixcloud "Featured Partner” live streaming/podcast series featuring electronic music DJ’s/Producers via live mixes/interviews and streamed/distributed to a global audience.

Erika Grapes - Healing Through Music, Covers, and Creative Resilience on the Virtual Sessions 9/16/25

Tue, 16 Sep 2025 20:30:00 +0000

Summary In this Virtual Sessions episode, Milan-based singer and songwriter Erika Grapes opens up about her artistic journey, the meaning behind her stage name, and the evolution of her music. She explains how “Grapes” began as a playful nickname on music forums and eventually became her professional identity, representing the colorful and eclectic nature of her artistry. Her latest single, a cover of Love is a Bitch by Two Feet, reflects both personal heartbreak and artistic transformation. Originally drawn to its sensual and bluesy vibe, Erika reimagined the track with an industrial edge inspired by Nine Inch Nails, blending cabaret-style rhythms with electronic textures. She recalls how recording the vocals became a cathartic release, channeling raw emotion into a bold new interpretation. The conversation turns deeply personal as Erika shares the trauma that once drove her away from live performance and the healing process that helped her return to the stage. Collaborating with producer Eugene gave her the confidence to perform again, and she highlights the role of therapy, poetry, and self-expression in overcoming fear. Her lyric visualizer for Love is a Bitch emerged from improvised photography in an abandoned mill, showing her resourcefulness and creative vision. Looking ahead, Erika teases upcoming projects including a dream pop original with producer Veronica Hall and a cover of Choking Outlines by Ren. She emphasizes the importance of authenticity, embracing eclecticism across genres, and letting inspiration arrive naturally rather than forcing it. With influences ranging from Fiona Apple to Nick Cave, Erika continues to craft music that balances vulnerability, experimentation, and resilience.

Sergio Matina - Fifty Years of DJ Culture, Radio Legacy, and Artistic Passion on the Virtual Sessions 9/11/25

Thu, 11 Sep 2025 18:00:00 +0000

Summary In this Virtual Sessions episode, Sergio Matina joins from Milan to share his remarkable journey as a DJ, producer, and radio pioneer. For Sergio, being behind the decks is more than entertainment—it is art. He describes mixing as painting, with tracks as his colors and the crowd as his canvas. His long career has taken him from Italy’s top clubs to radio shows syndicated in 30 countries, including his celebrated format TendenziA Sessions. Reflecting on his beginnings, Sergio recalls buying his first records in the mid-1980s and the life-changing night in Florence when he first encountered house music through Nicky Siano. Determined to understand this new sound, he searched record shops until he built his collection and became one of the earliest house DJs in Italy. His passion for intimate clubs remains, where the energy exchange between DJ and audience defines the experience, contrasting with the spectacle of festivals. A passionate critic of phone use in clubs, Sergio shares stories of stopping his sets to demand people put their devices away and focus on dancing. For him, the dance floor is sacred—a hedonistic, tribal, and spiritual space that should be lived, not filmed. He sees clubs as vital cultural spaces where music unites people beyond wealth or status. Sergio also discusses his label TendenziA Records and his new project UTROM, blending house with jazz, soul, and slower BPMs. He emphasizes that promotion, marketing, and gigs remain the lifeblood of a DJ’s career, offering guidance to young producers: humility, passion, and self-awareness. Outside music, he prioritizes health, meditation, and connecting with local cultures when touring, always seeking authenticity in food and community.

Redman: Cannabis Advocacy, Unity, and Music Legacy on the Mobile Sessions 8/16/25

Sat, 16 Aug 2025 23:00:00 +0000

In this dynamic Virtual Session of The DJ Sessions, host Darran Bruce sits down with iconic rapper, entrepreneur, and cannabis advocate Redman at Cantana Fest 2025. Known worldwide for his groundbreaking contributions to hip hop, Redman dives into an equally impactful mission—fighting for cannabis reform through the United Empowerment Party (UEP), the first federally approved cannabis political party. Redman discusses the importance of unity within the cannabis industry, emphasizing that collaboration and shared goals are the key to real progress. He outlines UEP’s mission to de-schedule cannabis, arguing that simply moving it to Schedule III is insufficient. By fully removing it from federal scheduling, opportunities would open for research, transportation, fair business practices, and most importantly, freeing incarcerated individuals still serving time for cannabis-related charges. The conversation touches on the role of misinformation and outdated perceptions, with Redman highlighting cannabis as a medicine with over 400 beneficial components—many yet to be discovered. He shares his belief that education is crucial for lawmakers and the public alike, while stressing the need to keep large corporations from monopolizing the industry once federal approval arrives. Beyond advocacy, Redman reflects on community, culture, and the power of numbers in creating systemic change. He encourages grassroots participation, inviting supporters to join UEP’s movement and get involved in shaping policies that work for the people, not just profit. The episode also highlights Redman’s creative pursuits, including his new album Muddy Waters Too and ventures in merchandise and fashion, reinforcing his influence as both a cultural icon and social leader. About Redman - Gruff and animated with bare-knuckled punchlines no matter how blunted, Redman is one of the most distinctive voices in hip-hop, representing Newark and flying the funk flag throughout an enduring career that boasts seven gold and platinum albums. Reggie Noble was featured on a pair of EPMD tracks before broke through on his own in 1992 with Whut? Thee Album, a highly anticipated solo debut containing "Blow Your Mind" and "Time 4 Sum Aksion," boisterous singles that topped Billboard's rap chart. The unsettling Dare Iz a Darkside, relatively lucid Muddy Waters, and platinum triumph Doc's da Name 2000 all reinforced the rapper/producer's high standing, as did El Niño and Blackout! -- recorded respectively with Def Squad and Method Man -- throughout the '90s. Redman was even more visible during the early 2000s, hitting the upper reaches of the Billboard 200 again with Malpractice, taking his partnership with Method Man to the big screen with How High, and earning Grammy nominations as a featured artist on De La Soul's "Oooh." and Christina Aguilera's "Dirrty." Red launched his Gilla House label in 2007 with Red Gone Wild: Thee Album, and has followed it with three more LPs, including the alternately stern and celebratory Muddy Waters Too (2024). Redman, born Reginald Noble in Newark, started spinning records at parties and fashion shows at the age of 12, and a few years later began rhyming. He befriended , who became a mentor and took him along to parks and clubs, enabling him to develop and sharpen his skills as an imposing battle rapper. Later urged by to share the mike onstage at an EPMD concert in Newark, Noble -- who was then DJ'ing for -- gave in and essentially became Redman that night, shocking a crowd of familiar faces. Months later, a day after his father kicked him out for selling weed, Redman moved into 's Long Island apartment. He became fully embedded with EPMD and therefore the larger collective, touring with the group whose pioneering funky and relaxed sound had inspired him to fully pursue hip-hop. and Bobbito had showcased a live recording of Redman on their WKCR radio show, but it was EPMD's third album, 1990's Business as Usual, where Redman made his commercial debut, featured on the tracks "Hardcore" and "Brothers on My Jock." A five-track solo demo resulted in a solo deal with Def Jam. Redman was at the forefront of a crop of young, brash, and hungry signees that included and , bolstering a roster of mostly established acts such as , , EPMD, and . In September 1992, Whut? Thee Album made instant impact as one of the era's most powerful rap debuts -- a mischievous, hard-hitting, set produced primarily by Redman and . First two singles "Blow Your Mind" and "Time 4 Some Aksion" both topped Billboard's rap chart (the latter unseated 's "Throw Ya Gunz") and pushed the album, marketed heavily to the streets and college campuses, to gold status within nine months. Meanwhile, Redman was highly sought for guest verses, production, and turntable work, assisting EPMD ("Head Banger"), , , and , as well as fellow Def Squad members and , among others. Red returned in November 1994 with the descriptively-titled Dare Iz a Darkside, what began a streak of four number one rap albums -- all of which also placed no lower than 13 on the Billboard 200. Assisted by and , Redman handled most of the sludgy production on his own, and a couple major singles in "Rockafella" and "Can't Wait," respective number ten and 11 hits on the rap chart, boosted album sales. Between those two singles, Red also hit number 12 with "Funkorama," taken from 's Insomnia compilation. Redman crowned the rap album chart four more times in the '90s. Muddy Waters, issued in December 1996, was leaner and sharper edged compared to Dare Iz a Darkside. It spawned "It's Like That (My Big Brother)," a number 11 rap hit featuring partner , and "Whatever Man," an -assisted track that peaked at number three on the rap chart and narrowly missed the pop Top 40. The more colorful and buoyant Doc's da Name 2000, highlighted by "I'll Bee Dat!" and the collaboration "Da Goodness," landed in November 1998 and within four months went platinum. The latter became Redman's fourth Top Ten rap hit as a headliner. Earlier the same year, Def Squad issued their lone album, El Niño, and almost topped the Billboard 200 with it. Red led the charge on album standout "Check N' Me Out" and traded verses with on "Rhymin' wit' Biz." Three months before the end of the decade, Redman and Method Man unloaded their first LP as a duo, the number three Billboard 200 entry Blackout!, full-length proof of the rappers' natural chemistry. In addition to "How High," a number two rap single originally recorded for the soundtrack of The Show, Blackout! contained the number 14 rap single "Da Rockwilder." Both songs also factored into How High, the 2001 stoner comedy in which Method Man and Redman co-starred. In addition to his first major big-screen role as an actor, Redman further raised his profile in the early 2000s with featured appearances on two Grammy-nominated recordings: De La Soul's "Oooh." (for Best Rap Performance by a Duo or Group) and Christina Aguilera's "Dirty" (for Best Pop Collaboration with Vocals). Between the two singles in May 2001, Redman released his fifth album, Malpractice, which entered the Billboard 200 at number four -- his highest position on the chart. The album's "Let's Get Dirty (I Can't Get in da Club)," with as hype man, returned him to the rap Top Ten, and other tracks boasted guest spots from the likes of , , and Treach. Six years passed before his next album, but Redman was busy during the interim with a handful of mixtapes on his new Gilla House label, roles in films like Scary Movie 3 and Seed of Chucky, player character roles in several Def Jam-related video games, plus the sitcom Method & Red, among many other television appearances. In March 2007, Redman finally issued Red Gone Wild: Thee Album. Despite arriving at least three years after its originally scheduled date, Red Gone Wild went straight to number 13 on the Billboard 200 (number four on the R&B/hip-hop chart). produced the rowdy highlight "Put It Down," and other notable productions were supplied by , , and longtime associates and . Blackout! 2 appeared near the end of the decade and found Redman and Method Man picking up where they had left off with their first album as a duo. The sequel entered the Billboard 200 at number seven and the R&B/hip-chart in the second position. December 2010 saw the release of Redman's last Def Jam album. Titled Redman Presents...Reggie, the LP capped an uncommonly long rapper-label affiliation of nearly two decades. It immediately stuck out in the Redman catalog with its outgoing, guest-heavy approach and use of Auto-Tune. Moreover, it played out like a mixtape with a different producer or production team on each track. Redman enlisted a similarly diverse cast of associates for Mudface, his independent, -distributed eighth album, issued in November 2015. Also like Reggie, it cracked the Top Ten of the rap chart. Film and television roles continued, most notably as the host of Scared Famous, followed by an appearance in Jay and Silent Bob Reboot and a recurring role on Power Book II: Ghost. Muddy Waters Too, the sequel to his 1996 album, and his first full-length in nine years, was issued on Christmas Eve 2024. The party atmosphere was exemplified by "Lite It Up," a nostalgic posse cut on which Redman was joined by , , , , and many more. ~ Andy Kellman, Rovi About The DJ Sessions - “The DJ Sessions” is a Twitch/Mixcloud "Featured Partner” live streaming/podcast series featuring electronic music DJ’s/Producers via live mixes/interviews and streamed/distributed to a global audience.

Herbert Holler on The Virtual Sessions presented by The DJ Sessions 6/25/24

Tue, 25 Jun 2024 20:30:00 +0000

Herbert Holler on The Virtual Sessions presented by The DJ Sessions 6/25/24 About Herbert Holler - Herbert Holler has been a party producer, promoter and DJ for over 25 years. He’s played at the most notable lounges, bars and dance clubs in NYC nightlife history, from Wall Street to 125th, from Brooklyn to the Bronx, not-to-mention guest spots across the globe, in cities like Tokyo, Venice and London. He works with a growing list of high-profile clients (Samsung, Porsche, Live Nation, Sony/ATV, etc.), event-production teams (Creative Edge Parties, Glow, Frost Audio, etc.) and world-renown artists (Benny Blanco, Boyz II Men, Diplo, John Legend, Miguel, Snoop Dogg, etc.), and continues to spin some of the most celebrated annual events in NYC (like the Brooklyn Black Tie Ball and Brooklyn Botanic Spring Gala). He’s also created the most legendary old-school dance party in history, the Freedom Party®, voted “Best Party” by Papermag, Village Voice and URB, now in its 21st year of parties with 1000+ events to date, My House™, his home for deep-house music, and Jams™, a new 2000s night! Past When I was little, I had problems sleeping. I wasn’t putting myself to bed ever, really. My parents tried everything in the book to get me out, but nothing worked. One night, my dad was at the bar doing his funny dance to Survivor’s “Eye of the Tiger,” and I asked him to pick me up. Less than five minutes later, I was out. Every night thereafter, he slung me over his shoulder just before bedtime and danced me to sleep—to Queen, Styx, Chicago, Meatloaf and lots and lots of Electric Light Orchestra. ELO was our personal favorite. I ended up memorizing every word to every song off “Out of the Blue.” Anytime we were in his Honda Accord ’87, that 8-track went in. My mom had her input, too. Mostly Billy Joel, Tom Jones, maybe some Diana Ross. She tried singing me to sleep some nights, but “Why Do Fools Fall in Love” doesn’t really set the mood for deep slumber. She gave me my very first piece of vinyl—1966’s “The Best of the Beach Boys.” After the needle gave up trying to stick to that record, she handed me the soundtrack to “Hair.” When the day finally came for me to start learning the value of a dollar and buy my own music, the first tape I went out and purchased was Run DMC’s “Raising Hell.” How I got from 70s orchestral rock, surf ditties, and Broadway musicals to hip-hop, I’ll never know. But that diversity has stuck with me to this day. Just when I pledge allegiance to some new rap artist, I’m a bloodthirsty digger searching for a new, synthetic electronic sound I heard on satellite radio or on somebody’s blog. And then I’m back frantically Googling a soul or disco sample I recognized from an old tune, or putting the finishing touches on a Dubstep mix I took way too much time obsessing over, or re-organizing my playlists so I know the difference between bounce, trap and an old Dirty-South anthem. The question of how I ended up spending half my waking hours in a nightclub is easy: I practically grew up in one. Again, my father’s to blame. He used to be the Food & Beverage Manager at Resorts Casino Hotel in Atlantic City, NJ, my hometown. I clocked more hours at that place than some of the people on payroll. And this was the 80s, mind you, when the casino strip was as glamorous as it would ever be: fur coats, pearl necklaces, big Cadillacs and Liberace (who I saw live…many times). The lights, the sounds, the electricity in the air, even the smells…these things never left. Nor has my penchant for making people smile. In grade school I brought class clown to a new level. It cost me my grades, and also led to a few suspensions, but there was nothing I enjoyed more than leaving my classmates in stitches. Sometimes even the teacher had to take a second to regain composure. I thought maybe I’d make a good Psychologist, helping people smile, so I went Premed at NYU, till I realized the night before classes started that I’d have to sit still and study a lot. (Hence the B.A.) Naturally, I tried my hand at comedy, but I couldn’t afford to be broke, and I was already getting gigs and discovering my knack for making dance floors pop. So, it was settled: I was to be a professional DJ. Present Today, my career is in its 20th year with no signs of slowing down. I’ve played just about every NYC lounge, bar, and dance club from Wall Street to 125th, from Brooklyn to the Bronx, not-to-mention residencies and guest spots across the globe; I continue to work with a growing list of high-profile clients and world-renown artists (like Snoop Dogg, Diplo, Benny Blanco, Boyz II Men, John Legend, Miguel, Blondie…). I spin some of the most celebrated annual events in NYC, including the Brooklyn Black Tie Ball, the Brooklyn Botanic Garden Spring Gala, and Central Park Summerstage to name a few; I’ve created the most legendary old-school dance party in NYC history, the award-winning Freedom Party® (19-plus years and 900-plus parties; voted “Best Dance Party” by Village Voice in 2015); and I continue to create unforgettable nightlife experiences for people from all walks of life. Future After years of hard work, dedication and professionalism, my name and reputation as a DJ in the music and entertainment industry precedes itself. And though I don’t get to play nearly as much ELO at the gigs as I’d like to, and 8-track tapes (and Liberace) are long gone, my love for the music, the night, and for making people smile are still here.

Somna on The DJ Sessions On Location Sessions at ADE 2023 10/19/23 About Somna - In an ever-expanding global electronic music scene with new artists appearing every day, it takes nothing short of raw talent to stand out. As one of Canada’s leading Trance artists, Somna took the #45 spot in the DJTOP100 (TrancePodium 2019) making him the highest Canadian within the top 100. His music can be found on the biggest trance labels in the world including Armada Music, Enhanced Music, Coldharbour Recordings, Garuda Music, Future Sound Of Egypt, AVA Recordings, Black Hole Recordings and Perfecto. One of few trance artists bypassing 200,000 monthly listeners on Spotify, Somna’s music regularly finds itself on the playlists of Armin Van Buuren, Above & Beyond, Markus Schulz, Ferry Corsten, Gareth Emery, Cosmic Gate and more. Reaching beyond his talents of songwriting, Somna is also a highly sought-after remixer, having remixed for the likes of Markus Schulz, BT, Paul Oakenfold, Andy Moor, Menno de Jong and Lange. As a performing artist, Somna fuses together traditional mixing with current technologies in a way that creates an atmosphere for fans into a journey of what trance is truly about. His experiences with prior aliases over the years has led to performances at Global Gathering, Creamfields, Coloursfest, Eden (Ibiza), The Arches (Scotland), LoveFest (USA), and shows across Canada, UK, USA, Japan, Spain, Australia and New Zealand. As Somna, he has taken his music to the main stage at Dreamstate in Southern California, Colosseum in Jakarta (Indonesia), Womb in Tokyo (Japan) and events in Norway, Netherlands, Switzerland, Mexico, United States, United Kingdom and Canada. Just a peek into support from the world’s top trance DJs includes regular premieres on universally popular podcasts such as A State Of Trance, Group Therapy, Corsten’s Countdown, Global DJ Broadcast and more. Recognition from A-list DJs include Armin Van Buuren, Above & Beyond, Ferry Corsten, Markus Schulz, Paul Van Dyk, Gareth Emery, Andy Moor, TyDi, Lange, Cosmic Gate, Paul Oakenfold, Guiseppe Ottaviani, Heatbeat, Mark Sixma and many more. The abundance of support stands as a true testament to the quality of Somna’s music. As a prolific multi-genre producer and engineer, his track alongside Andy Moor “One Thing About You” featuring Amy Kirkpatrick, reached #1 on Beatport and stayed in the top 10 for three weeks. Adding to Somna’s Beatport success, “One Thing About You” won the 2015 award for the most streamed trance track on Beatport. 2015 and 2016 also saw multiple Somna releases reach the top 10 on Beatport, with tracks featuring the likes of Jennifer Rene & Michele C. To mark Lange Recordings’ 200th release, Somna was invited to team up with Johnny Yono and Monoverse. The result was “Hijackers”, a triple threat labor of love which reached #3 on the Beatport charts. During these years, Somna also made two label debuts (Armada Captivating and Future Sound Of Egypt Excelsior) and joined the trance elite as he had the honor of mixing a 3 disc compilation alongside Andy Moor for AVA Recordings’ 10 year anniversary. Coupled by a truly rare triple play on A State Of Trance (episode #791), 2016 was fantastic year for Somna. His success carried over into 2017 as Somna showed no signs of slowing down with the Canadian hitting 140,000 monthly listeners on Spotify and a yearly collected data showing a staggering 13.4 million plus minutes streamed for his music on the #1 streaming platform. 2018 was a powerhouse year for Somna with a new single on Armada’s Captivating label, hitting the landmark 1 million streams for his single “Look Back” on Spotify and debut appearances in Jakarta (Indonesia), Oslo (Norway), Zurich (Switzerland) and Amsterdam (Netherlands). Somna’s 2019 started on a high with a “Progressive Pick” winner on A State Of Trance and with “Razor”, signed to Armin Van Buuren’s personal label Armind Recordings. 2019 also marked a debut on Gareth Emery’s Garuda Recordings with two high energy singles as well as delivering remixes for Markus Schulz and Lange. Continuing upwards, Somna teamed up with HALIENE for “Secret” to critical acclaim, receiving triple plays on A State Of Trance and an official music video. On the performance front, Somna debuted in Mexico City as well as the prestigious Dreamstate festival main stage in Southern California where he treated fans to world exclusive sneak peeks of his forthcoming artist album. Closing the year with the landmark 300th release from AVA Recordings with his collaboration with Andy Moor, Somna cemented himself in the scene as one of the most exciting trance artists to emerge this decade. 2020 saw “Beside You” – Somna’s debut artist album finally released on Black Hole Recordings’ Magik Muzik imprint to critical acclaim. Capturing “album of the month” in Mixmag and topping the charts in a variety of countries, Somna painted a canvas of music that impacted fans from around the world. While the unfortunate events of the pandemic caused his album tour plans (USA, UK, Indonesia, Malaysia, Japan) to get canceled, Somna took to new avenues to share his music. Finding his feet swiftly as a partner on the Twitch streaming platform, his channel has grown exponentially over 2020 with a dedicated community and fan base edging towards 10k followers. Combining his flair for humor, a catalog and production history spanning multiple genres, Somna’s channel continues to innovate and connect fans to his music weekly. As the label manager, A&R and co-owner of AVA Recordings, Somna continues to make strides while playing an important role within the scene. His bi-monthly radio show entitled “Reanimate Music” broadcasts every first and third Wednesday on Digitally Imported (di.fm), the #1 online dance radio station in the world. With a promising outlook on 2021, Somna continues his artistic journey with a steady stream of music on the scene’s best labels as well as reigniting his tour schedule with stops around the world.

Simply City on the Virtual Sessions presented by The DJ Sessions 11/10/22 About Simply City - Chilean-born DJ/Producer SIMPLY CITY began his music career embedded in clubs and raves in his native city of Santiago under the alias Cesar “Bass” Romero. After developing a reputation as one of the most in-demand DJ’s in his home country, Cesar left Chile to begin touring across Latin America, Asia, Europe, and North America in the pursuit of launching his DJ career. Cesar then spent many years traveling and touring the world internationally as a DJ. It was Montreal, however, where he decided to root himself after much time abroad. Here, he gained a coveted spot as a resident at Montreal's world famous Stereo Afterhours, where he’s been engaging crowds and developing his sound for over 10 years. Stereo’s globally recognized sound system, acoustic space, and dedicated club-goers gave Cesar the opportunity not only to apply his breadth of experience as a career DJ, but also to explore a variety of new musical territories. At Stereo, Cesar never fails to flex his mixing skills to an audience of “stereo-heads”; always taking them on truly sonic and atmospheric journeys through his music. Whether opening up the room for some of the biggest names in electronic music or taking over the space for an “all night long” set, Cesar’s mastery of tight mixing and careful track selection have garnered him respect both locally and internationally. Outside of DJing, Cesar has released several tracks on some of the most well-renowned progressive house labels; ultimately putting himself on the map as one Montreal’s most recognized progressive house producers. SIMPLY CITY continues to play his music beyond Canada’s borders, and consistently delivers his infectious Stereo flare to audiences across the world.

Ferry Corsten on the On Location Sessions presented by The DJ Sessions at ADE 10/21/22

Fri, 21 Oct 2022 19:00:00 +0000

Ferry Corsten on the On Location Sessions presented by The DJ Sessions at ADE 10/21/22 About Ferry Corsten - Hailing from Rotterdam, The Netherlands, Ferry Corsten’s illustrious career is exemplified by a passion for music that began as a hobby and spiraled into a full-blown profession, as he continues to push the boundaries of electronic music. This is exemplified by Ferry Corsten’ recently released ambient album, ‘As Above So Below’ under his FERR By Ferry Corsten alias, a personal project which allowed him to further explore his love for orchestral music that evolved from his long-running Stillpoint playlist. Ferry’s love for cinematic sounds has long been present in his music, as the iconic Rotterdam native signed off on his 5th artist album as Ferry Corsten – Blueprint. In 2017 This interstellar storyline-driven epic is something unlike any Ferry Corsten record before and preceded the release of Ferry’s first soundtrack early last year, composing the score for David Gleeson’s late-2018 thriller ‘Don’t Go’. 2019 also saw Ferry continue with his UNITY project, a concept launched in 2018 that has seen Ferry collaborate with iconic trance acts throughout the year with the vision of uniting the Trance community for a bigger cause. Ferry has partnered with VH1’s Save The Music Foundation, an organization formed to reinstate music programs for children, which has helped 2,100 schools to date. These high-profile UNITY collaborations include works with Paul Oakenfold, Ilan Bluestone, Gabriel & Dresden, Sander van Doorn under his Purple Haze alias, and most recently with Ciaran McAuley on ‘Mo Chara’. 2019 also saw Ferry place in DJ Mag’s Top100DJs poll for the 8th consecutive year, rising 15 places to #59 and extending his position as the longest serving Dutch DJ in the poll; capping what was an impressive year. Ferry has been consistently at the top of his game since his sophomoric album under the System F alias ‘Out of The Blue’ in 1999, with the title track charting in the UK Top 20 singles chart. He’s continued this success with numerous remix requests, including remixes for U2, Moby, Faithless, Duran Duran and Public Enemy. Ferry also partnered with Tiësto around this time for the now legendary Gouryella handle, a project Ferry relaunched in 2016 with the hugely popular ‘Anahera’ single, and later a Gouryella 2.0 Live show gracing the stages of EDC, Ultra, Tomorrowland and more. Ferry himself graced the stage with standout shows at the likes of Parookaville, EDC Las Vegas and Tomorrowland last year. Ferry also debuted his System F live show in November 2018 at Dreamstate SoCal to mark 20 years of ‘Out of The Blue’ and has since taken it worldwide to the likes of Electronic Family and Transmission. Ferry also recently announced his WHAT THE F concept, unifying his System F, Gouryella and Ferry Corsten aliases for a series of intimate open-to-close exclusive sets, comprised of solely his own material, across the world in the coming months. Ferry continues to break new ground in the trance world and beyond, demonstrated by his nomination for ‘Best Trance DJ’ at the 2018 DJ Awards and more recently winning the prestigious ‘Legacy Award’ at the 2019 edition of the International Dance Music Awards (IDMA’s) in Miami during Miami Music Week. Alongside hit global exploits as a DJ, chart scaling achievements in the studio, Ferry continues to have a day-to-day involvement in his Flashover Recordings imprint, recently partnering with Armada Music for future releases. Launched back in 2005, Ferry’s label enables him to scour the world for fresh talent and release music by cutting-edge producers, giving them a voice on the world stage, alongside hosting his own label parties everywhere from Amsterdam Dance Event to Miami Music Week.

Proff on Location Sessions at ADE presented by The DJ Sessions 10/19/22 About Proff - Music has accompanied Vladimir Ershov (PROFF) his whole life. From a very tender age, he was obtaining classical education at musical, variety art, and jazz schools as well as extra lessons of piano and saxophone mastership. Sometime later, he discovered a new world of electronic sounds which afterward entirely captured his mind. Experiments with the basic audio production software, loops and sample libraries, purchase of the first synthesizer, attention, and support from fellows on the dance music scene took Vladimir closer to the fulfillment of his dream to become a professional DJ and producer with every next step. PROFF started DJing on a regular basis in 2003, he participated in a number of DJ contests and recieved medal places. Since 2004, Vladimir was a resident at Sunwave radio station and combined scheduled broadcasts with the continuous sharpening of his production skills at the studio in search of his very own signature sound. While PROFF’s gig schedule got much tougher, a natural result was increased attention to both his DJing style and own tracks: the debut ones, “Gentleman” and “You’ll See,” were released on Moscow Dancefloor Records in 2006, and the first strong work which has seen the light of day outside Russia was PROFF’s remix of “Zair” by Tenthu, released in 2007 on Alter Ego in the UK. Shortly thereafter, Vladimir’s name appeared on a number of record labels, including Send Records, Snoochi Boochi, Flash Records, Mashtronic, and Kontakt Recordings, his own imprint. A life-changing turning point for PROFF’s biography was his acquaintance with the Australian producer Jaytech in 2008, who introduced the works of the Russian fellow to the members of the Above & Beyond trio. It started a long-term and fruitful collaboration with the British label Anjunadeep, which blazed a trail for Vladimir’s music to the international market. Having gained the support of top-level names of the dance music industry like Above & Beyond, Armin van Buuren, Paul van Dyk, Kyau & Albert, Mat Zo, Super8 & Tab, and Michael Cassette, today’s PROFF continues to summit new heights of an artist’s creative career. PROFF is justly considered as one of modern Russia’s most successful producers. He participated in the grandiose celebration of the jubilee 300th episode of Trance Around The World radio show and is a frequent DJ at Kazantip. His tracks jeweled Anjunadeep’s 100th release, The Collaborations EP, and the summarizing compilation Anjunadeep The Yearbook 2011. Original productions, collective works, and numerous remixes by PROFF have been repeatedly ranked in Top 100 Beatport and caught the attention of the dance music industry flagships like Armada Music, Solaris, Vandit, Proton, Silk Music, Noys Music, and Enhanced. At present, Vladimir’s discography counts over 100 releases; he devotes himself to daily studio work, gigs across Russia and all over the world, recording PROFF Music podcasts and collecting ideas for the debut artist album, which, according to Vladimir’s projection, will be a mixture of moods between deep, electro, funk, ambient, rock, breaks, drum & bass, trance and progressive.

Wed, 19 Oct 2022 19:01:00 +0000

Somna on Location Sessions at ADE presented by The DJ Sessions 10/19/22 About Somna - In an ever-expanding global electronic music scene with new artists appearing every day, it takes nothing short of raw talent to stand out. As one of Canada’s leading Trance artists, Somna took the #45 spot in the DJTOP100 (TrancePodium 2019) making him the highest Canadian within the top 100. His music can be found on the biggest trance labels in the world including Armada Music, Enhanced Music, Coldharbour Recordings, Garuda Music, Future Sound Of Egypt, AVA Recordings, Black Hole Recordings and Perfecto. One of few trance artists bypassing 200,000 monthly listeners on Spotify, Somna’s music regularly finds itself on the playlists of Armin Van Buuren, Above & Beyond, Markus Schulz, Ferry Corsten, Gareth Emery, Cosmic Gate and more. Reaching beyond his talents of songwriting, Somna is also a highly sought-after remixer, having remixed for the likes of Markus Schulz, BT, Paul Oakenfold, Andy Moor, Menno de Jong and Lange As a performing artist, Somna fuses together traditional mixing with current technologies in a way that creates an atmosphere for fans into a journey of what trance is truly about. His experiences with prior aliases over the years has led to performances at Global Gathering, Creamfields, Coloursfest, Eden (Ibiza), The Arches (Scotland), LoveFest (USA), and shows across Canada, UK, USA, Japan, Spain, Australia and New Zealand. As Somna, he has taken his music to the main stage at Dreamstate in Southern California, Colosseum in Jakarta (Indonesia), Womb in Tokyo (Japan) and events in Norway, Netherlands, Switzerland, Mexico, United States, United Kingdom and Canada. Just a peek into support from the world’s top trance DJs includes regular premieres on universally popular podcasts such as A State Of Trance, Group Therapy, Corsten’s Countdown, Global DJ Broadcast and more. Recognition from A-list DJs include Armin Van Buuren, Above & Beyond, Ferry Corsten, Markus Schulz, Paul Van Dyk, Gareth Emery, Andy Moor, TyDi, Lange, Cosmic Gate, Paul Oakenfold, Guiseppe Ottaviani, Heatbeat, Mark Sixma and many more. The abundance of support stands as a true testament to the quality of Somna’s music. As a prolific multi-genre producer and engineer, his track alongside Andy Moor “One Thing About You” featuring Amy Kirkpatrick, reached #1 on Beatport and stayed in the top 10 for three weeks. Adding to Somna’s Beatport success, “One Thing About You” won the 2015 award for the most streamed trance track on Beatport. 2015 and 2016 also saw multiple Somna releases reach the top 10 on Beatport, with tracks featuring the likes of Jennifer Rene & Michele C. To mark Lange Recordings’ 200th release, Somna was invited to team up with Johnny Yono and Monoverse. The result was “Hijackers”, a triple threat labor of love which reached #3 on the Beatport charts. During these years, Somna also made two label debuts (Armada Captivating and Future Sound Of Egypt Excelsior) and joined the trance elite as he had the honor of mixing a 3 disc compilation alongside Andy Moor for AVA Recordings’ 10 year anniversary. Coupled by a truly rare triple play on A State Of Trance (episode #791), 2016 was fantastic year for Somna. His success carried over into 2017 as Somna showed no signs of slowing down with the Canadian hitting 140,000 monthly listeners on Spotify and a yearly collected data showing a staggering 13.4 million plus minutes streamed for his music on the #1 streaming platform. 2018 was a powerhouse year for Somna with a new single on Armada’s Captivating label, hitting the landmark 1 million streams for his single “Look Back” on Spotify and debut appearances in Jakarta (Indonesia), Oslo (Norway), Zurich (Switzerland) and Amsterdam (Netherlands). Somna’s 2019 started on a high with a “Progressive Pick” winner on A State Of Trance and with “Razor”, signed to Armin Van Buuren’s personal label Armind Recordings. 2019 also marked a debut on Gareth Emery’s Garuda Recordings with two high energy singles as well as delivering remixes for Markus Schulz and Lange. Continuing upwards, Somna teamed up with HALIENE for “Secret” to critical acclaim, receiving triple plays on A State Of Trance and an official music video. On the performance front, Somna debuted in Mexico City as well as the prestigious Dreamstate festival main stage in Southern California where he treated fans to world exclusive sneak peeks of his forthcoming artist album. Closing the year with the landmark 300th release from AVA Recordings with his collaboration with Andy Moor, Somna cemented himself in the scene as one of the most exciting trance artists to emerge this decade. 2020 saw “Beside You” – Somna’s debut artist album finally released on Black Hole Recordings’ Magik Muzik imprint to critical acclaim. Capturing “album of the month” in Mixmag and topping the charts in a variety of countries, Somna painted a canvas of music that impacted fans from around the world. While the unfortunate events of the pandemic caused his album tour plans (USA, UK, Indonesia, Malaysia, Japan) to get cancelled, Somna took to new avenues to share his music. Finding his feet swiftly as a partner on the Twitch streaming platform, his channel has grown exponentially over 2020 with a dedicated community and fan base edging towards 10k followers. Combining his flair for humor, a catalog and production history spanning multiple genres, Somna’s channel continues to innovate and connect fans to his music weekly.

His bi-monthly radio show entitled “Reanimate Music” broadcasts every first and third Wednesday on Digitally Imported (di.fm), the #1 online dance radio station in the world. With a promising outlook on 2021, Somna continues his artistic journey with a steady stream of music on the scene’s best labels as well as reigniting his tour schedule with stops around the world.
