Hey everyone!

Paradise Two has finally been released on Camouflage on the 11th October and already has been featured as a “Staff Pick” at beatport.com!! Man I’m so stoked, thanks all for your support and come on, let’s try to get this thing on the charts… Tell all your friends and trance lovers! I worked real hard on this piece specially for you guys and I’m deeply honoured you all love it. Thank you once again!

For those new to the release, it comes as a 3 track EP featuring two mixes by myself; the Original Mix and my “Lost In Paradise Mix”… which to me is a little more experimental, where I try to push my boundaries and cross genres, but still maintain the uplifting quality and sound I so love and desire. It’s more energetic and more tech influenced, but when it breaks down, prepare to get your hands way up in the air! Stay tuned for more “Lost In…” remixes by myself and of course, do feedback to me anything… whether you like it, not like it or hate it or love it, I always wanna know!! So do interact with me alright!

The other remix on the release is by none other than Subtraxx’s own in-house artist Night Ray, who comes up with a beautifully surreal and dreamy uplifting take on my original. Kudos to him, I’m getting hooked on it already!

OK, That’s it for now, linked below are the full versions for your listening pleasure and as always, support us artists and buy our music! It’s months of hard work but as long as the passion burns, we will keep doing it… and you guys help make it happen! If not for you guys, our avid listeners and appreciators, our passion withers… so keep us going yeah!!! Support us! It’s just pennies right?

Much Love,
AJ

Hey Trance Fans,

Transcension030 has finally been completed and is available for download here or can be streamed live from my audio player in the drop down menu above. Featuring tons of sexy vocals, catchy beats and uplifting melodies topped off with a warm summer vibe, this set has been 2 months in the making but well worth it, as I have a feeling it’ll take you on an ultra surreal journey. A perfect mid-summer mix, starting off pretty chill with a beachy vibe with a little darkness sprinkled in to haunt you, later taking off midway into some super uplifting and banging tunes with epic and euphoric sounds you won’t soon forget… This is one 80mins that’ll zip right by!

Transcension030 also features the second incarnation of my latest single, Paradise Two, the “Lost In Paradise Mix”, which will be available at your favourite online music store a little later this year. Can’t wait and do hope for your support!

Alright, I’ll keep it short and leave you to enjoy the massive tunes in Transcension030.
Kick back and enjoy! Thanks for listening!

Hey All!

So it’s been almost a month since Transcension029 was released… What do you guys think of it? In case you haven’t noticed, it also featured my latest single Paradise Two, of which I’m currently working on a 2nd mix of, a little edgier and more techie interpretation of it, but still following that great uplifting melody line, so hope you guys look out for that. Unfortunately neither mix will be on my site’s music player as of yet, as I’m kinda trying to keep it under wraps till the second mix is done so I can submit them both to a label, but till then, hope you enjoyed that special lil preview in Transcension029.

So what else is new? Well DJ Evolve has just informed me he completed his mix for Podcast 5, so hopefully we can get it up in a week or so… I still have my portion to do, but with a ton of awesome new tracks in my arsenal right now, I’m not too worried about churning out another great set for you guys, so as always, do stay tuned for that! Following tradition, it’s Evolve’s turn to kick off the next set with his hardcore tunes, followed by my mix…. Can’t wait!

Alright, that’s about it for now, thanks again for visiting my site and hope you’re enjoying your stay! Come back real soon now ya hear?

Cheers!!

UPDATE (24 May 2011):
Ok, so looks like Podcast 5 won’t be coming through anytime soon due to Evolve’s new busy schedule, so once again, a new Transcension will be coming up!!! Will try by this weekend alright? Cheers and sorry for the wait!

Hi Everyone!

First off, welcome to my brand new home on da interwebz!!! I’m glad you’re here and looking around… Make yourself comfy coz there’s quite a buncha stuff to do and especially listen to while you’re here, so sit back and chill a ‘lil won’tcha?

OK so after some delays, the site is finally up! woot!! More importantly and as promised, I have a (sorta) brand new track to share with you guys which I mentioned on the last podcast that I’d share when my site goes up. It’s called Frozen and I did it back in 2010 but after rendering it, had a hard drive failure and lost the masters so unfortunately all I had were a couple of draft mp3′s which I had uploaded to my server before. I’ve touched it up since then and re-mastered it, and you guys can give it a little listen by clicking on the drop down panel up above at the right corner of the title/menu bar (click the PLUS [+] sign) and play it on the music player that drops down and if you like it, download it at my Releases page. While you are there, you can also check out my other productions available for purchase at iTunes Store or one of your favourite online dance music stores! Thanks in advance for the support!

Alright next up, I know I mentioned before that I’d launch this site with a new podcast…. Unfortunately Evolve is kinda tied up these days so better than that, I’ll churn out a brand new 80 minute Transcension for you guys in time for this weekend, so do look out for that!

Ok I have lots more to say but don’t wanna write a huge essay, so for now, browse the site, download free music and mixes and please feel free to leave whatever comments you may have on anything you find, anywhere on my site alright? And tell all your friends too! I’ve got TONS of mixes for you to check out, dating back to 1999 even… so take your time and enjoy the brand new arrakeenmusic.com!

Cheers!!
