MUSIC MAKES LIFE BETTER

Something about me:

Mena aka Anna Medve is born in Germany. Music has always been a passion of her because would be empty the life without music. 
She is not a professional DJ and starts late end of 2016 with the age of 62 as hobby. She plays only at home.
2013 she founds love for Progressive House Music, every kind of House Music, Techno but fallen in love to Trance. She listened on soundcloud as supporter to all kinds of music, on mixcloud and the internet radio Mixlr. 
At the end of 2016 she tried to put together sets by herself and used first only the software VDJ. 

She played on different Internet Radios guest sets like DI.FM on Oliver Planeix Minimal Madness, cuebase-fm, clubio.net, Future Beats Radio, Reykjavik Underground, Wamfm, most on Mixlr and since April 2020 as Resident Dj (Dj Mena) on www.futurebeatsradio.com

He is currently resident at Tin Tins in Birmingham.
He started playing in 1996 after listening to the Ministry of sounds annual 96 Pete Tong's disk. Regularly going to local clubs in the city centre and getting to know producers and Dj's of all different walks of music, this helped him establish what music he liked and decided to try and put his hand to everything he could get them on.

He used to work at the steering wheel in Birmingham from 97 / 98 & would go to S.L.A.G. Freedom, Fun, Crunch, Wobble, West End Bar, Genesis, The Hush, Tin Tins, Sunddissential and Amen. Learning how to blend different types of music together in a seamless mix. Knowing all these energetic differences within each genre and learning how to put them all together to make sub genres on the fly has helped develop a very good understanding of how to produce and it quickly became a hobby making bootlegs. Studying how different dj's would mix whilst he was out he became accustomed to knowing his way around the mixer and turntables and how to control all the different ways there are of mixing, it wasn't until James watched how Tony De Vit mixed that he understood the difference of professional and amateur, by learning not to use anything but the pitch control to mix he knew that he had mastered it to a fine art

His love for trance music came about when he stumbled across Godskitchen and Polysexual, he had now become accustomed to a type of music and it found it's place in his heart and mind, so from that day on he knew what he desired the most. 

Having guest mixes of people such as Colin Frensham or Col the medic as people would have known him as.
They both plan to start show with another internet station called di.fm,  Darren had been doing a monthly residency on there playing his hardstyle and hosting guest mixes by well named producers such as RUSHGBH,Sam Punk, DJ Yoz, Vortex, Showtek, Dutch Master, Audio Damage,DJ Thera, Bruno Power & Wasted Penguinz

They have both decided to concentrate on trance and becoming recognised within the trance industry and becoming established in something that they can both actively enjoy together working as a team on both productions and DJ'ing together.

They have set up a record label called Lunar Recordings and will be releasing tracks by themselves and other trance artist's, their own productions will see them working with singers concentrating on a new type of trance where they use their lifelong skills to put in to limelight only something that was once a dream.

Wow, hadn't realised what a journey SoundCloud would take me on.  After many years of passive listening to music I've dieted on a variety of tastes. My appetite for new sounds is undiminished and SC provides plenty of food. I am not a musician and have only recently started to listen positively to the sounds. My early years began listening to music from ABC, The Beatles, The Carpenters Dire Straits Eagles Fleetwood Mac Genesis Elton John Led Zeppelin Gilbert O'Sullivan Rod Stewart Supertramp Tangerine Dream Vangelis The Who and many more.
If you can't spot a trend in my current likes it may be because it is diverse. I love listening to all my playlists which contain tracks that I like and if you like any of the music you must thank the artists not me.
