I remember Rob way back when we were kids doing this running mix on vinyl with Jomanda WAY back.

Rob has always sent me his exclusives and set remixes over when he can and now I play them for him as a Thank You.

Pianoman Presents - Smilers Tunes (DJ Mix)

The opportunity to play OTR Journey through Trance is a dream come true. It means immersing myself in a world of euphoric beats and transcendent melodies, connecting with like-minded souls who share my passion for trance music. Having previously played in Room 2, I cherish the memories and the energy of those intimate sets. However, I would love to share my vision of trance with a larger audience, either through the closing set on the main stage or even at the pre-party. This journey is not just about the music; it's about the community, the memories, and the moments that will stay with me forever.

Richard Ronchetti LIVE @ OTR 'Journey Through Trance' Classics 2025 - (ERA: 2000 & Beyond)

I'm a DJ and producer that started spinning records back in 1998. I had the best days of my life in the London club scene at events such as Escape From Samsara, Pendragon, Trancentral and Frantic.
Over the years I have played alongside Lab4, Andy Farley, Mark EG, Chris Liberator, Sterling Moss, Beamish, Jace, Tara Reynolds, Ephexis and Alek Száhala. 
I also co-ran an event called Synthetic at Club 414 in Brixton during the early '00's.

James Sammon, better known to dance music aficionados as Pianoman, has been a formidable force in electronic music production since his debut in 1991. With over three decades of experience crafting infectious beats and melodic compositions, Sammon has established himself as a respected veteran in the industry.
As a producer, songwriter, and sound designer, James was one of the original artists present at the birth of the British house music scene in the early nineties. His pioneering work helped shape the sound that would come to define an era and influence generations of electronic music producers.
Pianoman's production credentials speak to his exceptional talent and versatility, having released tracks through some of the music world's most prestigious labels. His work has found homes on Universal Music, Ministry Of Sound, Armada Music, and Trick Records, showcasing his ability to create music that resonates with both underground scenes and mainstream audiences alike.
Further cementing his status in the electronic music landscape, Sammon's productions have been featured on London / FFRR Records—a label with deep roots in dance music history—as well as AATW Records, Xploded Music, Polydor Records, and Discomagic UK.
What began thirty years ago continues to thrive today, with Pianoman's tracks—both classic releases and new productions—reaching a new generation of clubbers. This remarkable longevity speaks to the timeless quality of his sound and his ability to remain relevant in an ever-changing musical landscape.
Throughout his career, Pianoman has demonstrated a remarkable ability to evolve with the shifting currents of electronic music while maintaining his signature sound. His productions blend technical precision with creative innovation, earning him the respect of peers and listeners worldwide as he continues his influential journey through dance music history.

I am a dynamic music artist whose innovative sound and eclectic music choices have captivated audiences worldwide. With roots deeply embedded in Organic, Deep, Melodic & Progressive House, I have a unique ability to blend various musical influences, creating a rich tapestry of sound that transcends genres and speaks directly to the soul.

From an early age, I was drawn to music's transformative power, finding solace and inspiration in the melodies and rhythms that shaped their world. This passion evolved into a profound dedication to the craft, leading me to develop a distinctive style characterised by lush pads & haunting melodies. Each performance is a journey, inviting listeners to connect with the raw emotion and universal themes that underscore the music I make and play.

Beyond the studio, I am known for electrifying mixes on my radio show, 'Friday Painkiller'. Whether playing intimate venues or creating mixes at home, my stage presence and genuine connection with my audience leave a lasting impact. 

As I continue to evolve as an artist, the future promises even more ground-breaking work and meaningful connections with fans. With an unwavering passion for music and a commitment to authenticity, I am poised to leave an indelible mark on the music world.

Hiddenagenda are the Sheffield based trance duo behind some of the most uplifting, euphoric, and powerful trance & progressive sets you will have heard in recent years!

They met in early 2005 and shortly after Hiddenagenda were born. Although relatively young, they both possessed a wealth of knowledge and talent, which only strengthened as the pair joined forces. Their individual styles benefit hugely from each other and their combined knowledge of tune selection, their immaculate mixing ability and their extensive experience of the clubbing scene makes them one of the strongest duos about.

Both keen clubbers from an early age, and part of Crashers loyal following, they have seen and learnt exactly how to get the most out of a crowd. Frequenting the countries dance floors over the years has armed them with experience and knowledge that allows them to create their own energetic and electric atmosphere every time.

They found musical inspiration originally from the likes of Armin van Buuren, Paul van Dyk, Matt Hardwick, Markus Schulz and Jon O’Bir to name a few, and over time have used this to create their own cutting-edge sound that continues to destroy the dance floors around the country. Their style is driven by big basslines and uplifting melodies with tech-influences, ranging from progressive warm-ups to their now legendary big room peak time sets. With a genuine enthusiasm for the music driving their performances and keeping the energy on the dance floor at a constant high, they will take you on a musical journey that will leave you gagging for more. 

Having made their name at Gatecrasher's infamous Howard pre-parties back in 2005/06 and with multiple appearances for the Sheffield based trance night OTR (Off the Rails), this pair really exploded onto the scene becoming firm favourites with many clubbers and gaining a mass of followers around the North of England. On the back of this success OTR snapped up the duo as residents for their return to the scene in late 2009, a night they still run successfully to this day. 

The duo have had a string of high-profile gigs; the highlights being a competition win of a set at the prestigious Trance Awards hosted by Trackitdown at Ministry of Sound, numerous bookings for Nu-Passion, Passion’s UK Indoor Festival, Magna Phase II at the huge Magna arena, Gareth Emery’s very own Northern Lights Concert, 2 appearances on Goodgreef’s Ibiza Boat Party as well as Goodgreef UK bookings, multiple appearances at Leeds based Digital Society, the Garuda 3rd Anniversary and a number of bookings at Birmingham’s Godskitchen, most notably a main room debut at SixFiveTwelve.

After a brief hiatus the pair landed back with a bang in 2022 warming up the Trancecoda Paul van Dyk event in Sheffield, a gig which marked the start of an exciting new chapter in their career to date. 

Coming armed with some of the most up-front tunes, some forgotten classics, and the ability to create an atmosphere like few others, be ready for a night to remember!
