Skypirates - DJ Contest Luminosity pres. Before the Energy

[djedwinb]

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.

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!

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:
