With Australia's ITM50 #1 DJ TyDi spinning out the trance, and the recent appearances by the World #1 DJs, Armin Van Buuren and Tiesto, 2008 is a great year for TRANCE in Sydney!
Future Entertainment was responsible for bringing the World's #1 DJ, Armin Van Buuren, out to Australia in 2007 and 2008. In what were no less than spectacular shows each year, we have learned to expect amazing productions and DJ quality in all Future Entertainment events!
For the past few years Godskitchen’s annual Sydney event was a club show at Home Nightclub presented by Sublime. When compared to the size and scale of the Melbourne party at Vodafone Arena, it often left Sydney trancers feeling a little out in the cold.
This year, the floodgates have opened for Godskitchen to spread its wings and expand into a significantly larger venue! The October tour, dubbed ‘Angel in White’ for Godskitchen’s 10th birthday, will hit Sydney on Saturday the 11th October at The Dome at Olympic Park in Homebush!
The musical focus for Godskitchen this year is the fresh wave of ‘nu-trance’ DJ/producers who’ve been storming the clubs and stirring up plenty of excitement over the past few years.
Heading up the list is Holland tech-trance titan Sander Van Doorn whose nu-trance productions have sent shockwaves through the trance scene, with last year’s anthem "Riff" coming to epitomise the tech trance sound and getting a hammering from all manner of superstar DJs.
Right alongside him will be John O’Callaghan, another rising star who’s been credited for pushing trance forward. "Big Sky" was easily one of the biggest tunes to hit the clubs last year (and one of my favourite songs of all time), but he’s just as well known for fusing techno and electro into his productions than he is for writing hand-in-the-air anthems.

DJ PROFILES:
Sander Van Doorn (Netherlands)
----------------------------------------
Pushing the boundaries of dance music is something that comes naturally to Sander van Doorn. His relentless attitude to what he does is the core essence to his astonishing success, both as a DJ and as a world-class producer. Production after production, show after show, his reputation is one of flawless measure, and the best is still to come. In just 4 years, and coming out of nowhere, Sander van Doorn is achieving stuff dreams are made of. Debuting in DJMag’s prestigious Top 100 poll at 32 in 2006 and then climbing 17 places to 15 in 2007 indicates the power and popularity of this man. If you haven’t heard of Grasshopper, King of My Castle, By Any Demand and Riff then you’re probably not in tune with dance music. Every van Doorn production of 2007 has sent tidal waves
through the electronic music industry with Djs from a multitude of genres slotting his work into their sets. Radio play of all four tracks was guaranteed, as were high chart positions, reaching the number one spot on more than one occasion. His remix of Sia’s ‘The Girl You Lost To
Cocaine’ is the stuff classics are made of, and ‘The Bass’, the first single from Supernaturalistic is speaking for itself!
And so as 2008 gets well under way and the release of Sander’s long awaited debut long player is upon us, we find ourselves wondering where next for the boy from Eindhoven. Two things are for sure: Sander van Doorn is here to stay and you’re going to be seeing a lot more of him!

Menno De Jong (Netherlands)
------------------------------------
Master of numerous music industry disciplines, Menno de Jong has already carved enough notches on the dance tree for someone twice his age. His production & remix career has seen him record for some of Europe’s biggest trance labels and he’s the owner of lauded Dutch independent Intuition Recordings. A bona-fide Podcast pioneer, he’s produced and presented the much respected and widely syndicated Intuition Radio show for the last 3 years. As a DJ, he’s closed gigs for Tiësto & Paul van Dyk, is currently ranked at No. 62 in DJ Magazine’s
Top 100 Chart and has spun in over 25 countries. At just 24 years old, he is without question the next challenger to the Dutch trance throne! His production career started in auspicious fashion in 2004 when ‘Guanxi’, his debut production was signed to Anjunabeats. The consummate music workaholic, Menno has continued to conjure one magical, melodic feat after another. Double-header ‘Magma’/‘Momentum’ and ‘Sjamaan’ were released on Fundamental (in 2005 & 2007 respectively), while ‘Tundra’ (2005) and ‘Nolthando’/ ‘Solid State’ (2007) appeared on his own Intuition label. As with studio production, Menno also dabbled in DJing from an early age. At 17 he progressed from school discos & friends parties to a two year residency at an underground club in
Eindhoven. Further charged by the reception ‘Guanxi’ received from DJs and still aged just 20 years old he threw himself into music nearly full-time, juggling his busy schedule with his studies at university. In the last three years he has successfully catapulted himself into the upper echelons of the trance DJ hierarchy. Having now spun in over 25 countries, Menno has played at clubs
and events that are themselves the virtual synonyms of trance. Godskitchen, Gatecrasher, Creamfields, Trance Energy, Sensation White, Mysteryland, Amnesia Ibiza, Love Parade, Berlin, The Gaudi Arena in Moscow & WMC in Miami have all hosted his pin-point perfect tune
selection and sophisticated mixing style. Menno’s rise through the deck-spinning ranks has been suitably reflected in DJ Magazine’s annual Top 100 poll. He debuted at 72 in 2006 before rising 10 places to 62 a year later. He is also ranked at No. 10 in Trance Addict’s annual top 100 Trance DJs poll.

John O’Callaghan (Ireland)
--------------------------------
John O’Callaghan’s rapid rise to fame has been nothing short of meteoric. He has stamped his authority on the global Trance community over the past two years; emerging as one of the Trance scenes leading talents.
After so many colossal releases and remixes for acclaimed labels such as Discover, Vandit, Armada, Euphonic & Galactive, there is no arguing that John O’Callaghan is one of the most in-demand producers in the world right now. Through both his solo releases and production partnerships he has flexed his production muscles on leading UK imprint Discover – delivering monster remixes and enormous singles such as “The Chamber”, “Restricted Motion”, and “Exactly”; which was one of the biggest tracks of 2006 and has already achieved classic
status within one year of its release. 2007 was the year when John released his eagerly anticipated debut album ‘Something to Live For’. The album received critical acclaim from all corners of the globe and was described as “pure genius” by Discover label boss John Askew.
In 2007 John remixed Vandits "Thomas Bronzwaer – Constellation”. This led to remixes for Filo & Peri's "Anthem" as well. John has also recently released one of the biggest vocal tracks in recent years, “Big Sky” (featuring Audrey Gallagher). #1 DJ in the world Armin van Buuren was “totally in love” with John’s first vocal outing and immediately signed it to his own personal imprint on his Armada empire: Armind.

Various worldwide radio stations such as ETN, Vonyc & Tillate are airing the show on a regular basis. Jon has become one of the most highly regarded trance Dj’s on the planet! His sets are forward
thinking, cutting edged, trance blessed journeys that have captivated crowds across the globe. Amazingly, all of this has been achieved by the age of 24!

Scott Richardson (Aus, Trancetribe)
-------------------------------------------
Founder of Trancetribe and a staple in the Australian electronic dance music movement, Scott's support and involvement with the scene has seen Scott become a respected member of the rapid moving Electronic Music world. His on stage performances both locally and abroad have been highly regarded. Being honored to already have been a resident at several prolific club nights in Sydney, Australia, plus various appearances at the most
prestigious special events, Scott now furthers his passion for music with production and remix projects. With work on his own record label, Trancetribe Recordings also being a primary focus for Scott as well as his further developing the online community http://www.trancetribe.com, 2008 will be a very fulfilling year. Scott has been honored to play at some of the country's most respected events by some
of the world's biggest brands, such as Godskitchen, Gatecrasher, and Slinky. Not to mention various performances at some of Australia's own finest EDM events including Future Music Festival. This Sydney based DJ has supported the likes of Ferry Corsten, John
Askew, John O'Callaghan, MIKE, Above & Beyond, Gabriel & Dresden, and recently, Paul Van Dyk. To many local fans, Scott is regarded as the country's finest club trance DJ. But ultimately, at the deepest level, it's Scott's passion for the music that shines through his modest
character. One to often be seen on the dance floor before and after his sets, regularly reminding friends and fans that "he doesn't feel like a DJ, but rather a punter and fan who gets to play the music he loves".
Make sure you don't miss this performance by Scott Richardson, who will remind you of why trance is so special.
