Dj of the week - Orjan Nilsen

I would like to introduce for you Orjan Nilsen. At the age of 7, Nilsen got his first keyboard, and started to practice on it frequently for the next couple of years and at the age of 16, Nilsen got his first very own synthesizer.

At the end of 2004, Nilsen had made several unofficial remixes and a couple of own productions, that got the attention of the trance community. His tracks began to be played on radio stations and clubs all over the world, though nothing was signed by any label.

In 2006 Nilsen has released his first signed vinyl - "Arctic Globe / Prison Break" on Intuition Recordings. "Arctic Globe" was voted #1 on the Dutch Dance Charts at that time. Since then, he has released a handful of prime level tracks including La Guitarra, Lovers Lane, GO FAST! and others. Nilsen is currently taking gigs all over the world and his music career is developing rapidly.

Follow some tunes for you!

Orjan Nilsen - Between the Rays (Original Mix)



Orjan Nilsen - Legions (Original Mix)


Orjan Nilsen - Endymion (Original Mix)


Orjan Nilsen - Amsterdam (Original Mix)



Is normal to listen his tunes on podcasts of Armin Van Buuren every week. You can check more info:

Dj of the week - John O'Callaghan

The Irish DJ John O'Callaghan established himself among the elite of electronic music (Trance). He continues his climb to the top of the Trance world. In the summer of 2008 he played in his first Essential Mix program with twenty-eight years old.

Immediately he debuted in the top 100 DJ Mag in the position of number 60. The following year (2009), he climbed over many locations and placed among the top 25. In Ireland he was the most highly recognized and received awards.

This was only the beginning of his Trance legacy... Follow a tune from 2008!

Giuseppe Ottaviani feat. Stephan Pickup - No more alone (John O'Callagham Remix)


On this tune you can fell the energy and the Trance style (around 140 bmp). Follow two big hits from 2012:

John O'Callaghan feat. Audrey Gallagher - Big Sky (Ben Gold Festival Remix)


But the next one is my favourite because was released when I decided to change the way of my life. The title "Ride the Wave" match perfectly with these decisions and became a anthem for me. I hope that you enjoy and feels the power of this tune.

John O'Callaghan feat. Giuseppe Ottaviani - Ride the wave (Will Atkinson Remix)

Dj Tools & Tips - Soundcloud & Mixcloud

Here we are again with Dj tools and tips. On this week we will talk about Soundcloud and Mixcloud. As you saw, I recorded a Dj set last weekend and posted on Mixcloud. Later I'll explain why I chose the mixcloud.

But what is Soundcloud and Mixcloud, and what for? Both are websites to electronic music lovers to share sound and follow the best Dj's in the world.

To begin, follow these steps to sign up:

1 Access the site: www.soundcloud.com
2 Click on Sign Up


3 Will pop up a window for you type your e-mail address and password


4 Flag on "I Agree to the Terms of Use and Privacy Policy" and click on "Sign up"


5 Type your personal data and click on "Done"


6 Now Soundcloud will suggest some people to follow, skip this part


7 Go to your email inbox, automatically was sent a email for confirmation. Then click on "confirm your email address"
8 Now you can use the search box to find Dj's and exclusive tunes.
9 You can upload your Dj Set to share with your friends and the rest of world. You can also, record a sound direct to Soundcloud. Some tunes are available to download.

Attention: Soundcloud has a software that analyses everything that you upload. This software can identify the name of the tune and the Artist/Dj. So it's impossible to upload your Dj set, but you can use to search the tunes of your favorites Djs and follow them. 

If you wanna upload your Dj Set, I suggest to use Mixcloud. Mixcloud uses the same software, but allows you to upload your Dj Set. You can listen my Dj set on this link: Dj Summers

To use Mixcloud, access: www.mixcloud.com and follow the same procedure. Enjoy!
