Sonic X-Plosion Volume 04 (2003) [Hard Trance]

I create uplifting Norwegian techno music, driven by a passion for sharing my sound with the world. Born in 1982 near the Arctic Circle, I turned 42 the year I wrote this biography. My trademark style is all about expressing raw emotion—nothing is suppressed in my music; instead, it comes alive.

While my music may be complex and unique, its appeal is universal, and understanding it doesn't take a genius. My oldest tracks are rooted in projects I began when I was 18 to 23 years old. Back then, my focus was on crafting captivating melodies rather than sticking to basic dance rhythms.

The rhythmic component became a part of my work only 3-5 years ago, prompting me to revisit and reproduce my earlier tracks with the help of the riff machine. This tool has allowed me to transform some pieces into vibrant, colorful soundscapes. These tracks have since been improved countless times, and my growing confidence continues to fuel my belief in my work. That belief isn’t just an assumption—it’s a reality confirmed through dedication.

Currently, I’m diving into sequences, an exciting new element in my music. They’re fresh territory for me, and I’m committed to keeping them dynamic and engaging.

Hi! My name is Johan and this is where I post my various mixes. I've been DJ-ing since 1997 and am Senior Curation Director at DI.FM (www.di.fm). I've been doing these mixes since early 2000 and they feature whatever the heck I'm into atm but usually it's some sort of current Techno, Acid Techno, Progressive House, Hard Trance OR retrospectives about various labels and artists from the 90s.

AssortedTrance.com is the web site were I've been publishing these mixes since the start (in the beginning as DJ Irish) but who visits web sites these days?
