Trance Energy 2010

It's finally here! The world's biggest trance event, Trance Energy, is announcing its full line-up today. It includes a full-packed programme featuring the biggest names in trance and the hottest up and coming new talents, alongside old favourite. So, which artists can we expect to see hitting the stage at the Jaarbeurs in Utrecht on Saturday April 3rd? Trance Energy will be held in four areas, each with its own character and style, introducing a whole new generation of acts never heard before in the Jaarbeurs. Including on the Main Stage, the long awaited threesome who have been on the Trance Energy wish list many years and are placed a respectable number four on the DJ Mag top 100 list: Above & Beyond!

So I decided to reset my charts... again (after about 23,000 scrobbles). Here are my top artists and albums from early January up until late November. It seems I can't go more than 25k scrobbles without resetting... I would probably have over 100,000 scrobbles if I never reset my charts (combined with my scrobbles from my old account).

About

BENTLEY & BEN GOMORI are two rapidly rising stars in the UK electronic scene. Their debut Alpha EP was released on Seamless Black earlier this year, with support from the likes of Omid 16b, Sarah Main and Onionz, and has been compared to early Sasha and Lexicon Avenue by at least one reviewer. Remixes followed on Big In Ibiza and Grin Recordings, with another one due soon on can you feel it. But first they deliver a new track on Plastica: Out Comes Fabianski.

Ben Gomori has been a keen follower of dance music since he first heard his older brother’s hardcore and jungle tapes aged 10, and works in the dance music industry as a PR and journalist, probably best known as editor of DataTransmission. Ben is a resident for Twisted Disco @ Pacha London, having played alongside the likes of Claude Von Stroke, Paul Woolford, Deepgroove and Rene Amesz at their parties. He has won 4 separate DJ competitions and has played twice at Europe’s largest festival – Sziget in Hungary. He has played on Budapest’s Tilos Radio, the country’s most respected independent station, and recently played for BBC 6music. He made his Ibiza debut in 2006, playing at The Orange Corner and also played twice at both Global Gathering and Creamfields – the two biggest dance music festivals in the UK.

John Bentley came onto the dance music scene in early 2006, after a three year period abroad and away from the music industry. Since 2006 John has played many of the top promotions alongside some of the world's greatest DJs, such as Above & Beyond, Tall Paul, Judge Jules and Sander van Doorn, at venues like The Gallery (London and Brighton)Electronic Sessions, Addiction, Nu-Religion and Cyclone.

Whilst working together a lot, Ben also has a 3-track tech house EP coming out on berwick street records with Saytek, while John’s Peak Love trance alias recently made his debut on Binge Records, doing well in the trance charts.

Bentley and Ben follow the successful Plastica releases by Dan Cat and Default, with Out Comes Fabianski in the Original version, and the Fabregas Dub.
