Spellbinding Records is a UK based digital label from Paul Trainer specialising in Trance/Tech-Trance/Progressive.

The label was founded in 2010 and has went on to gain huge support from the likes of Armin van Buuren, Paul van Dyk, Dash Berlin, Markus Schulz and Paul Oakenfold to name a few. 

With an ever growing scene of new dance music producers that go unnoticed, the main objective here at Spellbinding is to unearth some new talent from the UK and beyond and get their tunes out there. The label will also feature some familiar names that are at the forefront of today’s scene.

Benjani started to be interested in music production in 2002, he was constantly inspired by listening electronica, trance and progressive. Ever since, he has been gathering under one wing a wide variety of sounds from different artists and styles, he shifted his awareness to be able to focus on different sounds, also often blending them all into one set. Meanwhile trying to create his own tunes and play them in different night clubs and private parties around his home city.

No surprise then that 2009 was a successful year. With his first releases such as "Winter Vibes" and "Fly", he got noticed by other DJ's and producers around the globe. Also his first tracks have been mentioned by Roger Shah, who supported it in his "Magic Island" radio show.

Benjani's guestmixes were featured in different radio shows across UK, North America and Europe. Although his studio career carries more of an original production, Benjani has lent his musical skills to many exceptional remixes and his own music podcast "Blackout Nights", bringing progressive sounds from his same-named parties from London, UK, introducing to fans some of his new non-released club-orientated tunes and top favorite picks.

His music is now being supported and played by artists like Above & Beyond, Markus Schulz, Paul Oakenfold, Giuseppe Ottaviani, Sean Tyas, DJ Feel, Pedro del Mar, Cosmic Gate and many more in their gigs and radio shows.

2013 started with new strong releases on Paul Oakenfold's Perfecto Records and received a massive support by the man himself.

"A new producer called Benjani who's track "Insane" is a sure fire contender for one of our favorite tracks of 2012. It's sublime, it's hypnotic, it's beautiful and melodic and we absolutely love it." - Perfecto Records

New remixes, collaboration with other producers and fresh production releases will keep things boiling this year!

Biography:

Paul has always had a passion for music at an early age, but it wasn't until 2001 that he bought himself his first set of decks after coming back inspired and influenced from the sounds of the Miami Winter Music Conference. Being a keen clubber himself, this led to attendance at all the well known festivals and gigs in the U.K and beyond, so as the years progressed Paul got more and more into modern day dance music.

To date, Paul has performed at some of Scotland’s top clubs including the Arches, Gatecrasher @ Room At The Top, Byblos, Sea, Blue, Keller Club and The Soundhaus, whilst also making his first international appearance’s in Ireland, Germany, Australia, New Zealand, 2 interstate tours of India and a Spellbinding Records label night in the USA, alongside artists such as Armin van Buuren, Above & Beyond, Andy Moor, Rank 1, Bryan Kearney, Ronski Speed, Sied van Riel, Organ Donors, Activa and Indecent Noise to name a few. Not limiting himself to one style, Paul’s sets feature rigorous tune selection which vary across the trance spectrum depending on the interaction with the crowd.

Paul promoted his own nights with a few friends in Glasgow such as Vibe, Synergy, Platinum and Rehab. With their main aim to offer something different to the Scottish clubbers, this resulted in several Scottish debut’s for the likes of John O’Callaghan, Aly & Fila, Menno de Jong, Giuseppe Ottaviani (Live), Stoneface & Terminal, Thomas Bronzwaer, Mat Zo, Amir Hussain, Chris Liebing, Anderson Noise, Axel Karakasis and Eric Sneo.

As a producer Paul’s tracks and remixes can be found under the mighty Dutch Armada stable on imprints such as A State Of Trance, Captivating Sounds, Coldharbour Recordings, Aropa Records, S107, fellow Dutch label Black Hole Recordings under their In Trance We Trust imprint and also on UK label’s Discover and Infrasonic Recordings. Featured several times on German label Vandit Records, some of the highlight’s include Paul’s first track ‘Totality’ which received big plays from Tiesto and  Paul van Dyk at the Winter Music Conference in Miami. ’Seize The Day’ was featured on Markus Schulz Top 40 of 2009, ‘Deal With It’ claimed the No.1 spot on the Trackitdown Top 100 Trance Chart, whilst also having remixed for Armada A-listers Markus Schulz, Dash Berlin and Dutch tech-trance masters Ernesto vs. Bastian. Paul’s tracks have gained huge support from the highest Dj elite including air plays on respected radio shows such as ASOT, Vonyc Sessions, Club Life, TATW, Corsten’s Countdown, GDJB, Planet Perfecto and BBC Radio 1. To date they have featured on CD compilations such as Cream, Godskitchen, Armada & Slinky.

Paul’s ‘Soundscape’ radio show is now in its 6th year and showcases the latest in trance, tech and progressive. You can tune in exclusively on Afterhours FM - www.ah.fm - 4th Tuesday of every month - (3pm GMT / 4pm CET).

2010 saw the launch of Paul's new record label 'Spellbinding Records' which crosses the boundaries of trance, techno, progressive and everything in between. With an ever growing scene of new dance music producers that go unnoticed, the main objective at Spellbinding is to unearth some new talent from the UK and beyond and get their tunes out there. The label will also feature some familiar names that are at the forefront of today’s scene. Massive support has been received so far from all the major players.
