DJ Name:
Skypirates

Age and location:
Arjan Schaeffer (21) and Edwin Bleijenberg (24), Rotterdam

Bio:
Edwin developed a great interest in dance music somewhere around the year 2000.
It started with buying CDs, then came the parties and events. And it wasn't going to end there.
In 2004 he met Miki Autar, who introduced him to DJ'ing. Not much later he decided to buy his first turntables.
He and Miki decided to team up, founding the Bombsquad DJ Team in early 2005.

Arjan had begun his own DJ’ing career in August 2005, starting out with Early Hardstyle on vinyl.
At high school he had also met Miki, who introduced him to the Bombsquad DJ Team and to the mixing of Trance.
After mixing together a couple of nights, Edwin agreed without hesitation to make Arjan the third member of the team.

Since early 2008, Miki developed a preference for spinning House music.
Therefore a new team was formed, consisting of Arjan and Edwin.
The team was then named “The Skypirates”, as a monument to their roots in The Bombsquad DJ-Team.

Their inspiration comes from almost all the different aspects of Trance music; from famous tracks and artists all the way to those less known.
Now they are looking for the next challenge: to spin for a larger audience alongside several major players in the Trance scene.
The team is also working on their own productions, which they hope to release in mid 2009.

Equipment used:
1x Pioneer CDJ1000 mk3
1x Pioneer CDJ800 mk1
Denon X1500S
Sony MDR-V700

100% Trance
Date when the set was mixed:
21-12-2008

Hey guys!

We just wanted to inform you about our May demo! We have been aiming for something slightly different than our previous demos and are proud to present you the result.
This mix starts off strong with some deep, techy tracks and builds up to a more inspiring epic sound.

Upfront warning:
This demo is best enjoyed in the company of a heavy duty sub-woofer at an above average volume.
However, The Skypirates do not accept any responsibility for negative side effects (i.e. angry parents and / or neighbors) from playing this demo out loud.

Tracklist:

01 Richard Durand - Make Me Scream
02 Lego Planet - Indigo
03 Eddie Sender - Scarabeus (Extended Mix)
04 Ron van den Beuken feat. Nicole Tyler- Faraway (Vocal Mix)
05 Marcel Woods - Lemon tree
06 Mr. Sam - Dominator (Re-Ward Remix)
07 Armin van Buuren vs. Rank 1 - This World Is Watching Me (Cosmic Gate Remix)
08 Super8 & Tab - Won't Sleep Tonight
09 Kyau & Albert - Are You Fine?
10 Cold Blue - Red Cat
11 Jonas Hornblad & Hodel - Hydrogen
12 Kamil Polner - Tears of Moon (Fast Distance Remix)

Just before the opening of the new DJ contest, we finished a new demo-set.
Too bad it is 90 minutes... else it'd be a fine contestend...

How to describe this demo... Like always, it is filled with our devotion and passion from start to end. Opening up with the energetic rhythm of ‘Orchid Blossom’ by Carl B vs JPL, passing through the beautiful sound of Andy Bluemans’ Neverland and closing off with Trance Energy’s classic anthem: Svenson & Gielens’‘Twisted’. But not mentioning the other tracks would not do them enough justice, since every one of them is absolutely great on its own. Listen now, and judge for yourself!

You can download the November 2009 demo with the link below! (Right click + “Save as ...”)

Tracklist:
01 Carl B vs JPL - Orchid Blossom (This Mix)

Hey guys!

I see that there is no user mix forum available (yet), so please let me abuse this post once more!
I just wanted to give you guys a shout out to our mix, which has its origin in a bit unusual place for us.

After being a user at the forum of Trancesets.org for some while now, we have been given the honour of making a edition of their Tunes of the Month for July. In this concept, users on the forum are given the chance to submit their favorite tracks released that month and then vote for the top 10. It are these 10 tracks from which the DJ(s) need to pick their tracklist from; plus adding some of their own ingredients to the mix.
Ofcourse this is a very different way to produce a promo-mix; we couldn't even pick the tracks!
Yet still, we managed to break out an epic, energetic and especially vocal mix with some good old classics.

You can download The Skypirates - Tunes of the Month July 2010 mix through this link:
http://demos.skypiratesdjteam.com/The_S ... 10_Mix.mp3
(right click + save as to download)

Enjoy!

Tracklist
01. Andy Blueman – Florescence (Epic Mix)
02. Dash Berlin – Never Cry Again (Jorn van Deynhoven Remix)
03. Andain – Beautiful Things (Photon Project Mix)
04. Ashley Wallbridge – My Blood (Ferry Tayle’s Neverending Story Mix)
05. Max Graham ft Ana Criado - Nothing Else Matters (Aly & Fila Remix)
06. 3rd Moon - Bliss
07. Alt+F4-Alt+F4 (Dan Stone Remix)
08. Max Graham ft Neev Kennedy – Sun In The Winter (Alex M.O.R.P.H. Remix)
09. Glensk - Pacific Blue (Daniel Kandi's Bangin Mix)
10. Matt Skyer vs Skyover - Elixir
