Der in Köln geborene MindShift trägt zurecht den Spitznamen „Stimmungskanone“. Denn sowohl vor, als auch hinter den Plattentellern gibt er ausnahmlos Vollgas. Trance Musik ist für ihn mehr als nur eine Berufung, es ist eine unverzichtbare Lebenseinstellung geworden. Seit nunmehr einer Dekade reist „Shifty“, mit bürgerlichem Namen Timm Holtmann, deshalb quer durch Europa von Event zu Event. Dabei ist er immer an forderster Feier-Front und stets mit einer Kamera bewaffnet, um die einzigartigen Gänsehautmomente aus Klang und Farben einzufangen. Als aufstrebender DJ und Betreiber des Projektes „European Trance Traveller Network“ hat er sich auch Privat ganz der Musik aus der „guten alten Zeit“ verschrieben. In völliger musikalischer Isolation aufgewachsen, war es im Jahre des Herrn 1997 der legendäre Tillmann Uhrmacher mit RPR1 MaximMal, der in ihm das Feuer der Leidenschaft für Trance entfachte. Der Weg war nun geebnet und führte in der Regel direkt nach der Schule zum Plattenladen um die Ecke, wo sämtliches Taschengeld in schwarzes Gold umgewandelt wurde. Bald aber wuchs der Wunsch, die Musik nicht nur zu hören, sondern auch zu erleben, ins unermessliche. Mit dem Einzug des Internet ins Haus öffneten sich nun endlich die lange verschlossenen Türen und führten ihn 2002 auf die Eröffnungsparty des INdax in Frankfurt. Überwältigt von den gewaltigen ausgelösten Emotionen entbrannte nach dieser unvergesslichen Nacht eine regelrechte Sucht nach dem fühlen und leben der Musik, die bis heute anhält. Der musikalisch vielseitig interessierte Rheinländer katapultiert sich hinter den Decks am liebsten selbst in andere Dimensionen und zieht dadurch sein Publikum magisch in den Bann. Nach diversen erfolgreichen Auftritten am neben u.a. Dennis Sheperd, Bluefire, LXD und den Lokalen größen Tekno b2b MCO , Nick Tyrez und Patrick van Budde bricht der sympathscihe Kölner zu neuen Ufern auf.

Niko started DJing in 2004, mainly to compile his own favourite music for himself and his friends. He started spreading his mixes and quickly gained recognition from people listening to those sets. In 2016 he started his project "Music In Good Humor" with mixes of different styles, music and party recommendations on Facebook and a radioshow on Globalbeats.fm:

Genre-wise, he’s got a strong background in Trance and is also connected to House, Electro & Acid. In his own words: “What I like is sophisticated quality music that doesn’t want to fit in any stereotyped style or category. The only demand I have to music is that the producers put their hearts into it and make music that they love and not what others want them to make.”

Since late 2010 he's part of Electric Fabric, and he’s showing the same dedication when compiling mixes for the ELECTRIC FABRIC Podcast as he does with his own monthly mixes.

BIOGRAPHY TOM CLOUD (Black Hole Rec.)

Born in 1977 as Thomas Blum and having his current residency in a small town in the upper north of Germany named Bad Oldesloe - situated between Hamburg and Lübeck - , Tom Cloud may very well be the answer to Germany’s national trance recession. With trance in virtually all aspects currently stuck in a niche market in his homeland, Tom Cloud is one of the few last men standing on the forefront of spreading the love for trance on a global scale. As a dedicated flag bearer of his genre, Tom Cloud got labelled as one of the fastest rising up-and-coming artists in the trance scene and a true representative of new generation trance artists.

As a seventies born and eighties raised kid, Tom got severely influenced by eighties synthpop icons Depeche Mode. Playing the Depeche Mode albums 101 (1998) and Violator (1990) stuck on repeat while growing up, Tom effortlessly absorbed the art of electronic music like a sponge and developed an affection for all that has to do with electronic based compositions. Fellow German producers Jam & Spoon struck a musical nerve upon releasing their classic track Stella and early releases by Moby and especially the album The Sound Of Frankfurt by German trance guru Taucher inspired Tom to pursue a career in dance music even more. In a later stage, it was Daft Punk and Tom’s soon to be label boss Tiësto who injected Tom with a dose of inspiration for his future releases.
In 2006, Tom appeared on the scene with his single release Told You So, which got signed to Dutch company Black Hole Recordings, one of the most prolific companies in dance history. Black Hole Recordings owner Tiësto adopted Tom to his imprint and jumpstarted Tom’s career by incorporating this single into his legendary mix album In Search Of Sunrise Volume 5 - Los Angeles. The single became one of the most requested tracks taken from this mix album and soon afterwards sky rocketed to the number one position in the Beatport Sales Charts. Volume 6 of the In Search Of Sunrise series, The Ibiza edition, allowed Tom to extend his glory as Tiësto added another Tom Cloud production to the track list: Mercury Room.

Tom’s productions are characterized by spine piercing melody riffs, epic breakdowns and a high level of sensitiveness throughout his compositions, not fearing the use of analogue instruments and classical pieces. His follow up singles, released in 2007 on Black Hole’s In Trance We Trust imprint Million Miles Away, Vanilla Sky, Carpe Diem and Ray Of Light all became highly successful releases and gained Tom a great deal of respect from both his peers as well as trance devotees around the world. Tom took a brief sidestep in 2007 from his home base In Trance We Trust with the release of the single Secretly - featuring the vocals of singer/songwriter Tiff Lacey - on Armin van Buuren’s A State Of Trance, marking Tom Cloud as one of those rare artists honoured with releases on labels owned and run by the global number one and number two DJ.
Being under the wings of Tiësto resulted in a string of opportunities for Tom Cloud. Tom was asked to remix some of the biggest names in the trance industry such as Andrew Bennett, Cosmic Gate, Andy Moor, Carl B and Johan Gielen, amongst others. However, Tom experienced his ultimate high remix-wise when Tiësto personally asked him to remix one of his upcoming singles. The Tom Cloud remix for Tiësto’s production Sweet Things was conceived, got added to the original version and promptly became a worldwide monster tune, making Tom Cloud a household name in the trance genre.
