Aura - the source of trance
18,755 plays (1,095 listeners)
Aura has over the past few years became a name to remember in the trance scene. It all started back in 1997 when the two friends Erik Skådal and Christian Röhss teamed up and formed the band Plastik. Music was however nothing new to either of them. Christian had previous to this been playing both the piano and the drums for several years, while Erik mostly went to raves and similar events.
The two friends soon became well known in the scene by publishing their work on websites on the internet. They gained more and more downloads everyday and received emails saying how great their music was. At that time their only tools were two computers and tracker software, but upgrading to midi and real synthesizers quickly became a natural step for them, as well as changing their name from Plastik to something more fresh and starting to publish the tracks on Mp3.com. Aura was now born.
The combination of quality tracks and proper marketing led to a huge positive response from the Mp3.com listeners, and every single track they released climbed to the Top40 chart in their respective genre. Not rarely were they among the top five positions. But is was not until the release of their track Destination Skyline things seriously got moving. The listeners simply loved it and within a week the track got to the no.3 spot on Mp3.com overall Top40-chart, fighting against other top artists such as Trance[]Control.
