M.I.K.E.
The name Mike Dierickx might not instantly ring a bell. But once we start talking about M.I.K.E., Push, Plastic Boy, Absolute or one of the other 60 aliases he guised his productions under, you know we’re talking about one of the best producers the trance scene has to offer. Some of the tracks by Belgian producer/DJ M.I.K.E. have grown out to legendary classics, like ‘Universal Nation’ and ‘Strange World’ under his Push guise. With almost 15 years of producing and DJ experience behind him, 6 albums in his discography and an unstoppable drive to bring his sounds to the masses, the new Trance World, Volume 6, has found a worthy follow-up mixer for John O’Callaghan, Sean Tyas, Signum, Robert Nickson and Aly&Fila.

Robert Nickson
If anyone’s aware of what the world has to offer, it’s got to be multi-national Producer/DJ Robert Nickson. With an English father, a Norwegian mother, being born in England and now living in Holland, it’s needless to say Robert has the travelling virus in his blood. But there’s something else that makes this young man’s heart rumble: trance. CD1 Download now on iTunes:

John O'Callaghan
The enigmatic Irishman, John O`Callaghan, took the world by storm with his haunting vocal masterpiece 'Big Sky', being the signature track (plus officially rewarded “Tune of The Year” by the listeners of Armin van Buuren`s radio show “A State of Trance) of the year 2007 which has tantalized and encapsulated crowds into singing the lyrics back to John. This ascension through the production echelons catapulted John into the stratosphere as an artist, and he hasn't looked back since, beyond the (BIG) sky really is the limit.

Sean Tyas
"Mark my words…. Tyas will be f**ing huge!!!!” -John Askew Sean Tyas, a New York native, now residing in Switzerland, brings to the dancefloor a mix of melodic harmony and driving groove that is sure to be just as effective on the legs as it is on the heart. He got his start in 1999 with his first set of turntables and started to learn how to mix music. But for him, this was not enough. In the coming couple of years, he put together a studio and began producing records as well. By the age of 22, he had already remixed artists such as Christina Aguilera, Pink, Moby, Daniel Bedingfield and Christina Milian, because at that time in New York, as an aspiring producer, that was the work on offer. It wasn't long before he had an offer to leave everything behind in USA and move to Germany, working full time in Cologne under Beam-Traxx, which ended up serving him perfectly with extra self training, due to an everyday studio job. Moving to Europe proved to be a great move for Sean, doing all production for DJ Beam in Germany and building his experience as a studio producer. Eventually Sean decided to step away from Germany and over to Switzerland, concentrating much more on his own productions and remixes. "Mirella" was the product of this exodus, as it was promptly signed to Afterglow Recordings, seeing John Askew and Dave Joy remixes. This led to a follow-up remix of Duderstadt - Muhanjala, which has seen almost every playlist of any trance DJ that year, including Armin van Buuren and Paul van Dyk. Sean's remix of Beam - "On your Mind" proved to be another HUGE club smash, which was supported by the likes of Paul van Dyk, John O'Callaghan, & Armin van Buuren, this remix essentially locked Sean in as one of 2006's more endeared talents in the genre. The hype on his first Discover single "Lift", was even more amplified by Sean's winning of the Sander van Doorn - Punk'd Remix Competition, beating out over 250 other remixes. Lift had ended up on over 20 compilations around the world and played by any DJ playing trance music. The latest support over the past year and a half from #1 DJ in the world, Armin van Buuren, has bolstered Sean's position in the scene strongly, and as a result, Sean finally got the extreme honor of actually being brought in to co-produce a track, called "Intricacy", on Armin's "Imagine" album. On the DJ side of things, Sean has hit the ground at a running pace, and by now in 2008 he has already played in many international locales, such Norway, Finland, Sweden, Holland, Singapore, Turkey, England, Ireland, Scotland, Poland, Argentina, Australia, Ibiza, Indonesia, Switzerland, Canada, Germany, Georgia, Italy, and of course America. It is this side of Sean that these 2 discs represent... "The synergy where melody meets pure drive & energy... and this is what I consider in my humble opinion, the simple product of what occurs when these elements collide." CD1 1.

Aly & Fila
Shivers – hairs on the back of your neck – hands in the air – reaching for the lasers – losing your mind – rushing to the music – just some of the side effects of listening to Egyptian duo Aly & Fila in full flow on the dance floor. Since they burst into the international clubbing consciousness with their massive hit Eye of Horus back in 2003 they have been a full-on inspiration to clubbers and DJs alike. Their gorgeous, euphoric, uplifting blend of sweeping trance has seen them rise to A-list status alongside the likes of Armin, Blank & Jones, Johan Gielen, Tall Paul and more. At the forefront of the next generation of dance music superstars, they’ve already broken through into the UK, Europe and Asia. Goodgreef, Clockwork Orange, Gatecrasher, Ministry of Sound, The Gallery, Renaissance, The Synidicate, Freefall At The Arches, Off The Rails, Peach, the Zurich Street Parade, A State Of Trance 300 Party, the En-trance Festival – they’ve all fallen before the duo in a sensational sweep of dance floor domination. Tracks like Eye of Horus, Spirit of Ka, A Dream Of Peace, Ankh – Breath of Life and Thebes have won them worldwide critical acclaim from the press and fellow artists. Their remix work in 2007 alone is staggering, putting their touch to tracks like ‘Whatever – Lost Witness vs Sassot’, ‘Why – FKN* ft Jahala’, ‘Tears of Hope – Deems’ and more. Now as 2008 and the rest of the world beckons, Aly & Fila step things up once again. Two huge releases – ‘Lost Language’ and ‘How Long’ – due out on Armada; their own imprint Offshore Music label with production partner Andy Prinz pioneering new sounds and artists; listeners around the world tuning in to DI.FM to listen to their Future Sound Of Egypt radio show; and an international diary at bursting point should propel them into the stratospheric heights of superstardom. But while all this goes on around them, they still remain two of the most down-to-earth, friendly guys you could meet, bonded through a passionate love of trance music and the culture that goes with it. However high they go, however big they become, wherever the music takes them, they will always see themselves as just a part of the bigger picture, the most important aspect of all – the dance floor. With that in mind, join them as they take you on a journey through some of the biggest tracks to hit in 2007 and a hand-picked selection of new tracks that will blow your weekend away in 2008. Prepare for those shivers, feel the hairs on the back of your neck, raise your hands in the air and reach for the lasers, lose your mind and rush to the music because this, ladies and gentlemen, is Aly & Fila and this is Trance World 2… 01.

Signum
Signum is Pascal Minnaard and Ronald Hagen, two producers who met at high school and have gone from classroom dreams of making music to playing out and hearing their tracks hammered in some of the best clubs in the world. Based in Zoetermeer, a little city near The Hague in The Netherlands, the duo have been hugely influential in the trance scene. Pascal got a record contract at the Dutch label/agency BPM Dance, with Ron also signing to the label later, and the pair’s 1997 inaugural joint production, ‘What You Got For Me’, became a massive club anthem. After a string of hugely successful productions and remixes (for the likes of Armin van Buuren, Tiesto, ATB and Lost Tribe), the pair were inundated with requests to DJ, and feeling that the time had come to play out at clubs, they set about learning to mix. With DJ bookings guaranteed, Signum made their UK debut in style, playing a three-hour set at Gatecrasher in July 2001. They've since rocked it at the UK’s best clubs: Godskitchen, Gatecrasher, Passion, and Slinky; festivals from Global Gathering to Homelands; and had their passports well and truly stamped with gigs in Australia, Spain, Japan, Ibiza, Canada, Africa, Switzerland, Germany, Mallorca and Malaysia. Signing to Armada Music in 2003, Signum hit the number one spot in dance charts all over the world with productions including ‘Push Through’, ‘The Timelord’ and ‘Come Around Again’, a collaboration with vocalist Anita Kelsey, described by Ron & Pascal as the track they've always wanted to make. 2007 brings the release of this mix album, Trance World, the first in an exciting new series from Armada. Featuring a range of tracks from across the trance spectrum, including a slew of their own productions, this double CD is a must-have for all trance fans. “It’s our first mix compilation and it’s taken a long time to put together so it’s really cool to finally do it,” says Pascal. “We wanted a wide selection of different genres and show that trance can still be trance but also harder, more techy.” CD1: Download now on iTunes:
