Raquel Rodriguez aka Iris Dee Jay started producing music in 1999 when she got in her hands her first computer. After staying a while checking the old trackers, she got involved with computer based sequencing. Iris's first music productions were making eurodance music, singing her own tracks and trying her best to self teach new skills.

Some great achievements to date have been appearing on Spanish television, being on the cover of newspapers and making collaborations with female and male singers from all around the world, groing from classical musicians to trumpet players and guitarists

In 2010 Iris and the Finnish vocalist Maria Opale released “Leave A Sign” in the important label Magic Island (Armada Music). Time later she would work on a remix for Black Hole Recordings, releasing some more electro and dark tech style trance tracks on Bonzai Music aswel. 

One of her lastest passions on her way is giving producing lessons to whatever person who want to learn. Se puts all the passion she learnt in these last 20 years.

She loves interior design and roller coasters! In general, she has an artistic interest on many creative disciplines.

I love music and produce the genre that I love which is Progressive Trance specifically in the style of Trance music from the late 90s to the early 2000s. When I started this project back in the summer of 2002. After coming up with numerous names that would suit my style coined as ‘light, airy and melodic Trance’ I settled on the name ‘Goldengate’..

Gordon McInnes is from Glasgow and has lived there all of his life. He has been writing and producing music for the past 27 years. Gordon comes from a musical background. His late father was an ardent home producer in his spare time, writing and producing music in the style of New Age and ‘Gregorian Chants’ and has strongly influenced Gordon in his appreciation for the New Age Genre, Enya, Deep Forrest, Enigma. Gordon’s music has been heavily influenced by well known Trance acts such as 'Chicane' ‘Solar Stone’, ‘Blank and Jones’, ‘4-Strings’, ‘Space Brothers’ and ‘Rank 1’ all of which have influenced Gordon’s Trance projects whereby he goes by the alias ‘Goldengate’ which he started as a Trance project back in 2002.

Real? Nothing is real.
In a world of illusion you only see what you feel

V3GARD is an EDM project of mine. I'm a big enthusiast of electronic, dance, trance, both uplifting and "downlifting" (is that even a word..) moods and heavy melodic angles. I try to hit a nostalgic nerve with the 90's and 00's being a central inspirational part of my work and mindset. Melodic strolls, nostalgia, and anything that makes the heart pump and head bump!

I grew up with learning music through the demoscene and modules/tracking from 1997 onwards with Fast Tracker 2, then later ModPlug Tracker, before moving to Renoise - which is the DAW I still use this day. Different projects over the years before starting to focus on heavier EDM in 2021 under the V3GARD name.

I'm a big fan of electronic music in general, and leaning more into instrumental music than vocal to be honest. Creating interesting and catchy music without vocals is more impressive to me. But I must admit, prog trance with a beautiful, haunting vocal is also amazing! 
I'm inspired by anything that is catchy, be it a melody, part of a hook, a bassline, or even just some percussions, or a brilliant reverb on a snare -- anything that can possibly grab attention.

Artists who definitely have inspired and motivated through the years:
Tiësto (pre-2015 mostly), Ferry Corsten (+Gouryella), Armin van Buuren, Deadmau5, Röyksopp, Infected Mushroom, Pendulum, Jonas Steur, Chicane, Calvin Harris, Rank1, Moonbeam, Todd Terje, Martin Garrix, Mauro Picotto, Shingo Nakamura, Talla 2XLC, Joonas Hahmo .. among several other brilliant artists.
