Walsh & McAuley

Marc Walsh and Ciaran McAuley are the latest DJing duo to come from Northern Ireland, early in 2006 the guys first met when both were competing in a competition for the chance to play at Judgement Sunday in Ibiza. Although unsuccessful it seems faith had a part to play as the duo has gone from strength to strength producing tracks under the alias 'Walsh & McAuley'. It was not long before their talent was noticed by internationally recognised dance label 'Bittersweet' an imprint of the massive record label 'Armada'.

Ibiza season summer 2007 Ciaran secured himself two residences on the white isle in both Kanya Sunset Bar and Play2 in the main strip of the West End. During this time Marc continually worked on productions for the duo, sending them out to Ciaran to be tried and tested on clubbers in the dance capital of the world.

Early in 2009 the guys have their first radio show guest mix when they will appear on Solaris International for Agnelli & Nelson.

Franz Hlusek aka Fast Distance is currently one of the most successful new trance producers in Belgium and has been heralded by Armin van Buuren as "one of my favourite trance artists".

After nearly 2 years of hard work his career took off in 2007 after his productions were signed by labels such as Armada Music, Vandit and Recoverworld to name a few. Everything he touches is instantly supported by the biggest DJ's in the world, including Armin van Buuren, Paul van Dyk, Tiësto, Above & Beyond and Ferry Corsten.

The DJ has been spinning discs since 1994/1995, scoring his first hit in 2000 with a compilation CD featuring the anthem to the 2000 Streetparade. His career has skyrocketed from there: countless more mix CDs and artist albums, celebrated gigs at the hottest clubs and circuit parties in Switzerland and – last but not least – his now legendary solo night at OXA. Dave 202 is by far the most prolific Swiss trance DJ of recent years and the true driving force behind this music genre in Switzerland.

Its successor "Torrent" received the backing of renowned DJs such as Ti%euml;sto or Paul Van Dyk and was featured on the ASOT playlist. Armin van Buuren even pushed the track as his Tune of the Week – the dream of any producer. But it didn't stop there: After Armin van Buuren had played "Torrent" a few times, he incorporated the track in his Armin Only set. Appearing on Armada is a sensation in itself and Dave 202 has just reason to be proud as the first Swiss trance DJ to be signed to a full-blown international top label.

ROOS!

As a teenage girl i got in touch with dance music. From that moment on i was hooked to the beats. A few years later i started to go out to the local student club "Nexus". For the first time i heart the early trance music played by the young Armin van Buuren. After that the real clubbing started and i was often found in the big clubs in Amsterdam during he weekend. My passion was born!!!

In 2001 i finally bought myself a pair of Technics and a dj mixer and started to learn mixing all by myself. Within half a year i had my first dj gig in Amsterdam for a female crowd only. More gigs followed soon and in 2002/2003/2004 i had my first residency at "Club Question". In 2006 i had some big gigs at a party called "Crazyland" occurred at Hemkade, one of the best visited parties of that moment. Nowadays i am one of the resident djs at "Quest4Trance", a party for the real trance lover. Quest4Trance exist for more than three years now and still gain popularity.
