Turning Point

Mercurial Virus - Turning Point (Original Mix) (Subculture) (SUBC193)

I’m not a DJ, or a music producer… 
I love Trance.

Darren Jones, Better known as D10 has been active as a Producer for 9 years and a DJ for nearly 8 years. Darren also goes under the aliases Deton8r, Deton-8, D&G, Mercurial Virus, and DJ.
D10 shot to fame with his remix on S-Trax (Masif Organisation) of Neon Lights - Not Over Yet that was played at Dance Valley, Godskitchen, Gatecrasher and other major events across the world. The track was played out by DJ Scot Project, DJ Wag, Dave Joy, Dave Pearce, Tommy Pulse, Alphazone, Steve Hill and many more.
Not Over Yet found its way onto many compilation albums.
The follow up single Binary Harder did really well too,That was also a big hit and was played everywhere by the big names as mentioned above and found its way on a few compilation albums including a Goodgreef compilation.
Binary Harder also found its way into the radio 1 dance charts at number 44 ahead of Shapeshifters and Scissor Sisters.

As time went on many releases came out including the Remixes and covers of Children, Silence, Join Me, Tricky Tricky, Ready Or Not and the biggest achievement was been asked to remix on Traffic Tunes and the monster track DJ Wag - Life On Mars.
D10 toured Australia in 2005 and 2006 and played many gigs out there in Sydney, Perth, Melbourne, Geelong, Adelaide which has made him a hit out in Australia.
Darren also runs his own label Viper Traxx which is caters for hardstyle and hard trance.


James Petford, Better known as DJ Superstitious, Has played at various clubs including the Steering wheel for S.L.A.G. The crusader bar when West end bar closed down and he was also resident at Subway City for both Trapdoor and Blue, playing classic house and old skool.
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.

I'm mainly an UPLIFTING TRANCE but also a Retro House Classics/Melodic Techno/Progressive DJ and I'm also a member of Trance Family Belgium! My passion for Uplifting/Emotional/Vocal Trance and Retro House Classics/Melodic Techno and Progressive inspired me to create my own sets and mixes.

I want to let other ones enjoy and feel the passion I have! MUSIC BROUGHT US TOGETHER!

Life is not a game to play,
It's a journey to Live;
If you play, you give miseries to other.
If you Live, you put a smile on yourself ;
