Hi guys,
A very big welcome to everyone who has taken the time out to read my diary, this is my first so there will be allll the news most people won't know... :)

Current / Upcoming Releases:
Exertion - Partizan [Afterglow]

Exertion is myself and Neal Scarborough. We wrote the track some months ago, but it is soon to be released on German label Afterglow. Test pressings have just arrived and it will be out soon, with a really stomping remix from Alex Morph. Possibly my favourite production i have done..

John O'Callaghan - Foreign Delusions [Expanse]

My debut release! Currently only on white label promo, but the full run is due soon. Has had support from a lot of major players and received critical acclaim for its unique style and sound. Once again an impressive remix from Greg Murray.

Inertia - The Emerald [Discover]

This track was originally created in 2002, one of my earliest productions. It was written with Neal Scarborough. We decided to revamp the track for 2004 and sent it to John Askew who described it as "one of the best tracks he has heard in the last 18 months". It was immediately signed to Discover and expect a release this summer with a remix from Octagen ft. DJ Astrid.

John O'Callaghan - Resolutions [Equilibrium]

A track which i wrote with a more energetic trance-minded approach. It started out as a small project, and upon some great feedback from samples i created-it turned into a fully blown trance monster. The track has received numerous workovers in the effort to try get it to a maximal standard, and now the final version is complete. WIth support from Nu NRG, MIKE, Precision, and with a really really pumping remix from Octagen-this release will be exciting for me. Possibly one of Octagens best works on the remix IMO

JOC vs Kaymak - Frostbite [Expanse]

A collaboration between myself and Kevin McKinney, this track is due out on up and coming label Expanse in late summer/autumn. Pure trance builds and bubbly basslines have caused a lot of interest in this track. Remix coming from Recluse. Looks promising :)

John O'Callaghan vs Arizona - The Day After [Spectrum]

A more prog track, but with a great groove and some nice melodies. Remix coming from Will Holland...he promises its a trance treat :)

Current Projects:

Its a busy time right now for me. I have a lot of projects going and some more scheduled, but i love all these interesting ideas and great prospects! I am working with St.John [Armada] on a new track which is going really well. Right now i am working on a vocal trance remix for Sophie Sugar-track called Twilight. The vocals are really good so lets hope it turns out good. Other projects i am working on include:

Castania - Gora Lei (John O'Callaghan, Kimito, Frode Kambo Nilsen)
John O'Callaghan - Mercury (massive new trance bomb)
Ben Lost ft Young Parisians (Exertion Remix) **what a beautiful song to remix :P
Intruder - Restricted Motion (John vs Bryan Kearney)
Will Holland vs John O'Callaghan - Untitled

So hopefully this summer i can have a lot of time to work on these tracks and new projects, and possibly break into the realm of the trance world! There is currently a new design being created for my website by muhrijn.com and its looking very cool :)
