Afterhour #20 - Spring Edition 2023 by Jensson (IONO Music)

My first recorded Set.. not perfekt.. but i work hard to get better.. hope you enjoy it :)

Progressive Confetti

In over 20 years of label work, I have seen many artists come and go.
Many of these artists were really very ambitious.
But they didn't stand up to the pressure in our music industry.

Producing music is a very time-consuming and expensive
business. 
You have to constantly adapt to the high production standards.
And that's not a cheap business and an enormous investment of time, 
at the expense of your life, your friends and your family.

The biggest problem is probably that in our market, which is dominated by booking agencies 
and monopolised by a few artists, new talents hardly have
a chance to present their music at a party.
Even we, Drukverdeler & DJ Bim, are hardly recognised as a live act. 
even though I have been writing music history as a DJ and manager for over 30 years.

Our example is perhaps one of the best to show how entrenched our market has become.
When you sit in the studio for years, producing music that works on the dancefloor, 
but you are simply ignored or overlooked by the organisers
it's more than difficult not to lose the passion and courage to keep going.

It's not just about the few hundred euros that a new live act gets today,
to reinvest in his studio. 
Rather, it's about living his dream and playing his music in front of an audience himself.

At some point you just ask yourself why you're still doing it, you hear other DJs playing your music,
you see people on the dancefloor partying to it, but you as a producer are simply ignored.
At some point, you reach the point where you give up, switch off the power in the studio and spend your free time 
with your family, your wife, your kids and your friends.

I therefore approached three artists who, just like us, have been trying for years to establish themselves on our market 
and somehow get a little more recognition, but are simply being overlooked.
They haven't given up yet and I hope they won't do so any time soon.
Because I see great potential in them, not only in their creativity, but also in the functionality of their work.
Because at every party where I play their music, there is movement on the dance floor.
And that's probably the best statement you can make.

So have fun with :

When Wisdom Fell Silent – Echoes of a Dark Age
The libraries went dark, the thinkers vanished. In the silence, we heard only echoes — of what once was known, now lost.

Odiseo Live Set @ M.S. Showcase #1 (El Fresco del Arbol)

Kevin aka Phaxe has gone from a no-name to an international player of the Progressive Trance elite within no time. Dropping his artist name Phaxe in 2007 provokes few, if any, reactions. Only 4 years later he has become a synonym for upper-league party music. Highly acclaimed live sets all around the world, applauded releases, and remixes for some of the scene’s biggest names tell an impressing su
ccess story. A story that makes the man from Copenhagen repeatedly being described as a “Progressive Prodigy”.

Looking back, the evolution of Phaxe`s sound is the history of a perfect storm brewing. It starts with excessive party weekends in the late 90s, awakening his interest in electronic music production. First creative steps are taken in front of a Nintendo gaming console. Eventually this new passion leads to a professional audio engineer training in 2006. These 3 stages of Phaxe’s career are still very noticeable today: His music is to-the-floor, playful, and high-quality in terms of sound.

This irresistible mixture is first to be heard in 2007 when a Phaxe track is released on IONO Music. One year later things take off: The title “Swing King” gains euphoric feedback from both party freaks and DJs worldwide. Within no time Phaxe is producing together with artists like Audiomatic, Morten Granau, Vice, Zyce, Flegma and many others. Great compliments are given to him when the still young producer is asked to remix some of his early Progressive Trance idols like Haldolium, Atmos and Symphonix. His long awaited debut album is signed on the prestigious label Iboga.

In addition to his solo activities, Phaxe keeps up a creative dialogue with some other producers - resulting in a great variety of sound and styles. Together with Morten Granau he is known as High & Mighty, delivering deep Progressive House. The name Sinister Silence stands for a mutual project with Dan Hessner and uplifting Progressive Trance. Last but not least there is O.T.B., a collaboration with Martin Daltoft of Vice.

Despite his impressive success story Phaxe always keeps a humorous and friendly attitude which is very noticeable when seeing him on stage. In this very situation his unbroken passion for Progressive Trance rubs off on the audience through vibrant sound waves.
