Last night (the 9th of October) at The Gallery @ Ministry of Sound nightclub at the Trance Awards ceremony and party went off like a particularly well-primed firework. Markus Schulz, Menno De Jong, Simon Patterson, Sean Tyas, Claudia Cazacu & Jerome Isma-me all stepped behind the turntables and gave a laid down the trance law! Over in the annex room Al Excess, Laura May, Hidden Agenda, Ryan Wilkinson and Intertek – the winners of the Trance Awards DJ Competition - did similarly fine work making their Ministry debuts!
Further elevating the global impact of the T.A.’s, the Euphoria Trance Awards album mixed by Sean Tyas, Simon Patterson & Claudia Cazacu was released through Ministry of Sound Recordings on Monday the 5th of October. The triple CD contains the biggest anthems from heroes like: Armin Van Buuren, Sander Van Doorn, Aly & Fila, Gareth Emery, John O’Callaghan and the mixers themselves. It’s available to buy now through all good CD retailers and to download (of course) from Trackitdown.net
Last and by no means least, many thanks to all of you who came to the website, had your say and made this the best Trance Awards poll and party yet! You’ve all done your ’09 bit in supporting the scene! Same time again next year?
