was a trance and hard house DJ many years ago  - small clubs - but still luv the music

For over 3 decades I have been in love with this music, starting off raving in the 90's to hardcore and transitioning to trance and never looking back. 

Taking to the Digital Decks to mix the music I love in my man cave AKA the 'Trance Shed' my show 'Trance on the Hillz' was born. 

I am trying to create a unique style which represents my taste, all type's of trance will be played but always edging towards the harder sounds.

I am currently playing on After Hours FM as a resident every fourth Monday of the month from 3.00pm - 4.00pm UK Time, so please join in for some great mix's and support myself and the show.

I hope you all enjoy who listens and would really appreciate any help along the way on this journey.

Thanks everybody!

Rob Van Arden Bio: 

Manchester based Trance/Hard Trance & Hard House Dj, Rob Van Arden is no stranger to the scene.

After discovering hard house & trance in London during the late 90's.
Attending nights such as Frantic, Heaven, The Gallery, Sunnyside Up & Trade.
Rob moved to Manchester & soon was a regular at nights like North, Sin:ergy, Gatecrasher, Goodgreef, Insomniacz & Sundissential North.

After getting his first set of decks he became a regular face at Manchester's legendary record shops Eastern Bloc & Spin Inn, at the time the beating heart of the city,s Dj scene. It is here, he perfected the art of digging deep into the crates of white labels & back shelf vinyls, always hunting for those rare, hard to get tunes to take the roof off his next Dj set.

It didn't take him long to get bookings & he was soon playing alongside his heroes, holding down a residency at North Hard House Reunion & gaining  bookings for brands such as Anthematics, Blueprint, The Howard, Goodgreef, Ideal (Tidy), North Hard House Reunion, Off The Rails, Rave On, We Like It Hard & Wax Format.

Over the years, Rob has supported many of the Dj's he originally looked up to, including Paul Oakenfold, Guy Ornadel, Signum, Scott Bond, The Thrillseekers, Simon Patterson, Jordan Suckley, Rob Tissera, The Tidy Boys, Andy Farley, B.K, Andy Whitby, Lab 4, Kutski, Mark E.G & M-Zone.

These earlier influences show in his sets, where he twists trippy acid lines, haunting vocals & rasping synths over thumping, driving beats.
Making his sets distinctive, wether it be Trance Or Hard House.

After a ten year break, Rob is back firing up the decks again. You can catch his upcoming, online sets on Abandoned Reality Radio, Keeping Hard Trance Alive & System Code.

Rob has also dabbled with production, gaining a release on Armin Van Burren's Who's Afraid Of 138 alongside Ally Brown, entitled "The Next Page" & also remixed the legendary OD404's 9Bar, under his Hoover Groover alias. Further productions are in the pipeline.

Lincoln based DJ & Learning Producer | Beats4Exercise 🎧

Hello and thank you for visiting my SoundCloud page. 

Inspired by past and present trips to Ibiza I trained to DJ back in 2000 at a studio in Sheffield on Technics 1210s and the early CDJ 300s so that I could record my own workout mixes.

Alongside playing the odd terrace set with my own gear I completed a six week Ableton Live music production course at The Lincoln DJ Hub to better understand the structure of Electronic Dance Music, which in turn has helped to improve the DJing.

Also a nod to the DJs, producers, vocalists and record labels who have provided me with an important soundtrack over the years many of whom I’ve come into contact with since posting mixes here.

Thanks again for visiting my page, it is very much appreciated.
