Menno de Jong- Netherlands
(Anjunabeats / Gesture Music/ United Recordings)

Biography

If you are wondering what the future of trance music has in store for us, this is your chance to find out! Menno de Jong, one of the worlds most talented and gifted young DJ / producers, is an absolute favourite when it comes to pondering about the future heights of the DJ mag top 100.

On the producing side, Menno’s massive debut single “Guanxi” on Anjunabeats has sent crowds into melodic bliss all across the globe, receiving massive support from the likes of Dj Tiesto, Armin van Buuren, Aboven & Beyond, John Askew, Agnelli & Nelson, Paul van Dyk and many others! Not only did it top sales and music charts all over the world, it was also voted as Future Favourite on Armin van Buuren’s “A State of Trance” show, quoting Armin “Great Track! Played it so much the vinyl is going grey!” The track also won the weekly webvote on Ministry of Sound Radio twice in a row, became “tune of the week” on Ivibes.nu, got played in the BBC Radio 1 Essential Mix, was “Floorfiller of the week” on Big Al’s Vibe 101FM show and reached shivering heights in the IDP Dutch Dance Charts! A follow-up, which will most definetely top the success of Guanxi, is currently in the making!

Not only is Menno massively successful with his “Menno de Jong” guise, he is also the man behind several other successful projects such as the more progressive “Myth”, the melancholic “Halcyon” project, the energetic and techy “Flow State” guise and the credible melodic tech’trance alias “Sayla”. With the enchanting “Myth – Millionfold” nearing release, and other tracks signed to labels such as Anjunabeats, Gesture Music, United Recordings alongside artists such as: Armin van Buuren, Above & Beyond, Super8, Airbase, Sander van Doorn, Chocolate Puma, Ron van de Beuken, 4 Strings, Misja Helsloot and many others, Menno looks will continue to entrance people with his compositions.

Having won the prestigious DJ Connections and DI.fm UK Trance Revolution competition has given Menno one of the most impressive online residencies available, giving thousands of trance lovers a bi-monthly treatment of the best and most exclusive tunes around. The club scene has caught on also, having booked him at top venues in the US, Scandinavia, the Netherlands and many other places around the globe. Not only is he booked in these international top venues, he is also the man behind the incredible Trance.nu Dance Events, initially set up to give young talent in the scene a chance, but now already claimed to be the best trance clubnights in the Netherlands, with upcoming events scheduled internationally in the near future also.

Menno’s sets are characterized by mind blowing, pure quality and powerfull driving trance, progressive trance and tech’trance. He allways gives the full 110% behind the decks, and never fails to get the crowd going. Be sure to wear your most comfortable shoes, as his performances will definetely rock your socks off.

His Summer Sessions set was very very good if anyone tuned in! Damn, I may have to see about coming up for this.

edit: I actually have this set if anyone wants it.

If you guys liked Guanxi make sure to check out Menno when he comes to Vancouver. The kid has like 5 records coming out in the next couple months! Difinitely a chance to see someone before they become a true star, expect nothing less than a set of quality up front trance and unlreleased material =)
