Topher Jones is a name on the rise. It all started back in 1999 when Topher received his first set of turntables. At the time he was into Underground Hip-Hop and Turntablism. During the following summer, he visited a friend out in Arizona who gave him a CD and was then introduced to Trance music. There was no turning back now. Topher had found the sound that he had always been looking for. The beautiful uplifting melodies and the driving percussion was music that left him speechless.
Now as a Junior at DePauw University, he is taking things to the next level. As his productions get better as each day passes, his sets are ones that are never forgotten. With his name is appearing on more and more line-ups, he is continually broadening his horizons. 2006 has been a great year so far, be on the lookout for only great things to come in the future from Topher Jones.
The Basic Perspective formed in late 2003 when producer Gabriel Lukosz and dj Arthur Schmidt realized they had the same interest and drive for melodic trance & house.
Gabriel comes from a musical family from the Czech Republic & other parts of eastern Europe & is first generation here in the states. With a background in piano & computers, Gabe had always been more inspired by the production side of music & picked up DJing after making tracks for a number of years. After a solo project as CzechTech, and being part of a talented electronic band under the name of Solace, he has been able to develop his productions for making melodic & proggy tunes.
After pulling off club rocking remixes for Above & Beyond, Tiff Lacey, Serge Devant, Interstate, Jav D, Niklas Harding, & a number of unreleased bootlegs, together they have produced original progressive music that has caught the attention from the likes of Andy Moor, Tiesto, Gabriel & Dresden, Jon O Bir, Markus Schulz, and Above & Beyond. Their releases are included with Conspiracy, Anjunadeep, Armada, Cold Harbour, Alter Ego, and soon Enhanced Recordings, Curvve, & AvA Digital. Being aired on various radio shows such as 'Global DJ Broadcast' , 'ASOT' & 'Trance Around the World' this duo are creating sounds that can please both dancefloors and long time trance listeners.

Sorry for the month delay on mixes, been massively busy.
Macarius (Adam Makarewicz) is a relative new comer to the trance scene. He began his DJ career in early 2005 and hasn't looked back since. In March of 2005, Trance Mix Mission, Macarius' weekly radio show was launched. It originally started out as weekly one hour mix that was offered to listeners as a downloadable show on a weekly basis.
Today Trance Mix Mission is a weekly 2 hour show with a guest mix from an international DJ. The show is now streamed on 7 stations worldwide, both online and Fm frequency’s, and is still offered to listeners on a weekly basis as a free download. Some of Macarius' guests have included the likes of Markus Schulz, Ronski Speed, Mike Shiver, Will Holland, Darude, John O’Callaghan and many more. One thing that makes Adam's DJ sets so special is his exclusive bootlegs and mash-ups. In the summer of 2005, Mac's mash up of Play it louder on Flight 643 was an instant hit for the summer months, with support from Judge Jules, B.E.N., and many more amateur and professional DJ’s worldwide. In February of 2006, Macarius hit the trance community again with one of his most successful bootlegs to date.
The Air of Amsterdam was an instant favorite with Menno De Jong (played two weeks in a row on Menno de Jong’s radio show “Intuition”), B.E.N., Luke Terry, and many more. Macarius has also made a leap to international success in the short amount of time in which he has taken up the art of Dj'ing. He was voted the March Rising Star of 2006, on Paul Kershaw's radio show in the UK and was also the first international dj to ever win a spot on the show. International gigs have also found there way to the young rising star from places such as Egypt and Ibiza, Spain for the summer months of 2006.
Macarius’ style of uplifting trance & euphoric melody's is the reason why he has been so successful so fast in the trance community. His sets are filled with passion, excitement, high energy, and the love of playing music that drives the crowd into wanting more. Currently Macarius is ranked as one of Canada's top Dj's at the young age of 21, holding steady at the number 20th spot (http://www.thedjlist.com).
Currently, Macarius has his time split between his weekly radio show schedule, DJ gigs as well as his education and work schedule. He has been asked to do many guest mixes for weekly radio shows, and has begun to compose original productions of his own. Keep an eye, and an ear out for one of Canada’s rising star DJ's in the trance scene today!
Dropped into this world back in ’78, Rotterdam’s son Sied van Riel smashed into dance scene in early 2006.
The former Dutch hardcore champion turned from a local hero to one of Europe’s most sought after producer within a year. It took a decade to find out where the riel passion flows till he discovered the emotions he was looking for in progressive and trance – and basically fell in love with it.
Sied van Riel’s debut release FEARLESS, signed to Miika Kuisma’s Finish Label Subtraxx, spotted the up-and-coming right in the middle of playlists from major spinners like Tiësto, Markus Schulz or Above & Beyond.
The follow up MY DREAMS on Expedition Music captivated the elite again, Paul van Dyk hooked it up to his “World’s Number One Victory DJ MAG TOP 100 mix!
His warm, deep and driving productions conquered great response.
Wherever you turn in '007 you'll see his name! A remix for Miika Kuisma's ONE STEP BEHIND THE MANKIND on the Finnish label Subtraxx, a mix for Adam White's debut release on the UK label Emalodic called NEVER TELL WHAT YOU THINK, US based label Real Music engaged him to rework Italian's Amex SPIRALS, a Jan Johnston remix with colleague DJ Dazzle for Belgium’s Mostiko Music, SvR’s hands on Arctic Quest ft Anita Kelsey SHATTERED DREAMS for Amsterdam’s Expedition Music, a driving Booty of the German classic Tomcraft LONELINESS is blowing roofs everywhere with plays by the usual suspects and last but not least he signed his new release CHANGING PLACES to mighty Spinnin' Records!
As intense his productions are as electrifying is Sied’s DJ performance.
Regular radio shows on Paul van Dyk’s station VONYC.com, South Africa’s Sound Republic Radio and the Greek Danceradio FM as well as several guest performances as for Tillmann Uhrmacher’s Sunshine Live Maximal, Menno DeJongs Intuition Radio,Ministry of Sound Radio and many more gained an even bigger SvR Music friends and fan base.
Behind the decks you found him in the Netherlands dropping the needle at events like INTUITON NIGHTS, he rocked Belgium,Germany, took over Istanbul, Antalya and Cyprus and joined Tiësto’s “In Search of Sunrise 5 Tour” with great success!
Sied van Riel - Dutch shooting talent from nowhere less but legendary Spijkenisse!
Expect a promising future from a guy who’s reflecting his personality and history, emotions and state of mind unfiltered and pure in productions and DJ sets. If you want to know who’s the man behind the music just listen carefully and recognize - Sied “Fo” Riel is here to stay!
