For DAEV, trance music wasn’t just a discovery — it was a calling. At just 10 or 11 years old, the hypnotic rhythms and euphoric melodies of trance struck something deep, unlocking an emotional connection that’s stayed with him ever since. It wasn’t about trends or scenes — it was about feeling. Pure, immersive feeling.

Cutting his teeth on a pair of Numark decks and a no-name German mixer snagged from eBay, DAEV’s early mixing sessions were raw but full of passion. Every month, he’d make the pilgrimage to Hard to Find Records, happily blowing an entire month’s wages on vinyl — chasing that next track that would move him.

Trance was more than music — it was a bond. Shared with his brother, it became a core part of their identity, and eventually, the foundation of something bigger: Trance In Motion. Born from a desire to shift the spotlight away from egos and back onto the music itself, Trance In Motion is a night for true believers. No gimmicks Just powerful, uplifting trance the way it was meant to be experienced — with open hearts and closed eyes.

Passionate Trance DJ and owner of Trance Rush UK

I’m a 100% music addict, any spare time I’m listening to Anything dance orientated but not psy. Trance and hardstyle are my favourites though especially the classic stuff.

82 Gloves, the trance-driven alter ego of Chris Glover, is a DJ shaped by decades of passion, persistence, and pure dedication to the craft. His journey began in the late ’90s and early 2000s, when he spent his youth jumping trains to Birmingham, digging through crates at HTFR and other iconic record shops in search of the perfect tune. Those early missions forged a deep connection to the trance sound uplifting, powerful, emotional, and endlessly evolving.
Life later steered Chris toward a long and committed career in the British Army, where he served with honour for 22 years. It was during this chapter that his nickname “Gloves” was born, and combined with his birth year, 1982, it eventually evolved into the DJ alias 82 Gloves a name that carries both personal history and identity.
After years away from the decks, Chris reignited his love for DJing in 2022, stepping confidently into the digital age. Blending modern technology with the mindset of a classic record digger, he rebuilt his craft with renewed energy, fusing the essence of old school trance with today’s sharper, more progressive edge.
Now based in the Midlands, 82 Gloves channels his experience, discipline, and passion into every set. His performances bridge euphoric melodies, rolling basslines, and immersive atmospheres, taking dancefloors on powerful, emotion-driven journeys that honour his roots while embracing the future.
In February 2025, he took his dedication to the next level by co-promoting Trance In Motion, a night built as a true platform for up and coming,  and talented DJs. The event champions new artists, fresh energy, and the full spectrum of trance a reflection of his belief in community, opportunity, and keeping the scene thriving.
From crate digging beginnings to a digital age resurgence, 82 Gloves stands as proof that passion never fades it evolves, strengthens, and drops even harder when it returns.
