progressive trance

Artem Stolyarov, or Arty for short, is one of a rising breed of Russian trance producers now starting to make their mark on the scene.
The Moscow-based producer's tracks pop up all over the place, although it's probably with the succession of vinyl he's delivered on the Anjunabeats label that he's most closely associated.
This year, his clean, uplifting sound has made him new friends in both the pure trance and house fanbases, no small part of which was down to another fan, one Ferry Corsten, picking up on a track he made under another of his alter egos, Alpha 9.

Phony Orphants are Jeppe Ornkilde (DJ Jeppe) and Mikael Dahlgaard (DJ Emok), a progressive psytrance-group from Denmark. They created Iboga studio in Copenaghen, releasing their firsts works on Transient, Plastik Park, Plusquam and so on. Collaborating with some of the most interesting Scandinavian artists, such as Beat Bizarre, Refer Decree and much more, they finally created Iboga Records, which they also manage.

Myon & Shane 54 are two dance music producers from Hungary.
Both of them are individually known for their sharp productions, great remixes or cool mash ups, mostly being big favourites of the best djs in the world like Above & Beyond, Armin Van Buuren, Ferry Corsten, Paul Oakenfold, Tiësto, Paul van Dyk and many more. In early 2008 they decided to join forces by forming a production / DJ duo for their outputs. Since then they remixed loads of artists, like Andy Moor, Lange, BWO, Esmaye and more, thus making original productions that ended up on labels like Anjunabeats, Armada or Black Hole.

Jochen van der Steijn, better known as Jochen Miller, is a trance DJ/Producer from the dutch city of Mill. He started his career in 2001 with various singles under the name of DJ Jochen before changing to Jochen Miller in 2003, along with a shift in style from uplifting trance/hard trance to tech trance that found him a place on High Contrast Recordings where he remains to this day. 2008 saw the first of many collaborations with Benno De Goeij of Rank 1 with the single "And Then...", leading to a co-production partnership on Jochen's own productions.
