Alex Di Stefano, a producer of over twenty years experience, is bringing a breath of fresh air to the electronic dance music scene of present with a unique style of techno trance combined with a large musical knowledge of past and present. It’s fair to say Alex has created a huge impact in a short space of time and is widely regarding as one of the hottest properties within his genre.

Coming from a family of musicians, Alex has developed his talents since the age of 10 years and he always knew that his future would belong to the world of Djing and production. Starting in 1993with performances as a live act in numerous wellknown clubs in the south of Italy, he immediately put himself on display his skills as a performer. Soon Alex was inundated with booking requests and even residencies at 3 different venues as well as hosting a regular radio show.

These steps gave him the breakthrough into the world of music production. In 1994 Alex produced the first Italodance single under the alias 'DayDream' entitled 'Thinkin' About You' which gained major success throughout Europe. A year later came his second single 'DayDream Through The Night', from this release Alex gained recognition from the most wellknown Italian labels such 'Next Records', 'Red Music', 'XEnergy' and many more!

Alex’s desire to try new sounds and experiences did not stop, he decided to give a further boost to his career by moving to Rimini in Northern where he knew he would have many more opportunities such as a new residency. It was here that Alex’s music style evolved to a more technotrance sound. Alex stood out immediately on the Adriatic Coast, considered by many the second ibiza, it was here in 2002 when he performed in one of the most famous Italian clubs 'Cocoricò', his performance had the Italian scene speaking his name in high esteem.

In less than a year Alex was headhunted to be part of a wellknown production team 'Digital Team Studio Rimini' where he worked for 4 years releasing hit records such as 'Mash In Your Arms', 'Mash One Day', 'Mash Oak Island', 'Mash Be My Girl' and many more.

Considering his experience as a producer and numerous productions released under different aliases, Alex decided to focus on his career as a solo artist in 2007, starting to release tracks in more minimalist style which evolved itself to what we call his TechTrance Style of today.His diversity as a producer marks a turning point in Alex's career which has seen him release tracks for many wellknown labels such: Subculture, Outburst Records, JOOF Recordings, Kearnage Recordings, Lange Recordings, In Trance We Trust, 1605, Diffused, Techburst Records and many more.

Massive show on Afterhours FM. A very different set from me with a mix of Progressive, tech and some amazing emotional and uplifting trance. This week I am stoked to introduce my guest. A guy we will be seeing in Vancouver on April 8th. Indecent Noise.

Indecent Noise:

Indecent Noise is a producer and engineer hailing from Warsaw in Poland. His sound is completely rapt in energetic and melodic trance sounds which can often use techier sounds to deliver devastating impact. Playing live Indecent Noise fully uses the benefits of technology by using laptop and midi controllers with Ableton Live making his sets special and unique. His fascination of electronic music started at a very young age and at age 7 he was already listening to compilations from Jan Michelle Jarre and Kraftwerk. It was in 2004 he decided to learn how to become a producer himself.

We fast forward to the present day and Indecent Noise has now become one of the most consistent and hardest working producers and remixers in today’s modern trance world. His skill and ability level have improved enormously since the early days and while most of his most recent work can be found on his own label, his music has also featured on labels such as “Armada”, “Future Sound of Egypt”, “Discover”, “Fraction”, “Spinnin” and “Subculture” to name a few.

As well as being an individual artist, Indecent Noise is also the brains and the main man behind “Mental Asylum Records”. His label has become well established as a platform for showcasing the best in up-tempo, uplifting, trance and tech trance. The label not only features original and remix work from Indecent Noise himself but also material from his favourite crop of current and new producers. Having amassed over 70 releases to date, the label keeps going from strength to strength. With every release charting highly and gaining support from the majority of the trance elite it is no surprise that the label has branched off into branded club nights and festival stages.

The last few years have been massive for Indecent Noise. Releases have included tracks such as “Tremors”, “Hydra”, “Cerberus”, “Witch Hunt”, “The Darker The Better”, “Glitches”, “Daybreak”, “Lost In Noise” and “Warsaw 2.0”. Not only an accomplished producer, artists such as Armin van Buuren, Andy Moor, Signum, Markus Schulz, Solarstone, Arctic Moon and more have put his remix skills to great use. This continued production success has lead to a very busy tour schedule. As well as playing countless club gigs across every global continent he also had the privilege of being booked to play at festivals including “Tomorrowland”, “EDC Las Vegas”, “EDC Orlando”, “A State of Trance”, “Global Gathering”, “Luminosity” and “Burning Man” as well as making regular appearances in Ibiza and for global brands such as Ministry of Sound & Godskitchen.

Following on from previous years 2016 will show no let up. Already set aside are new productions and remixes fresh from a brand new studio which was pieced together in the later half of 2015. While constantly touring as an individual artist Indecent Noise continues to push his “Mental Asylum” brand to all corners of the globe also with 2015 seen the launch of “May Goes Mental”. This worldwide tour showcasing the music and the talent on his record label took various artists from the label across 9 cities and 3 continents across the month of May. With near all shows selling out we except this to become an annual concept. Finally as if being a Dj, a producer and a label boss wasn’t enough, Indecent Noise also has his own weekly radio show which is broadcasted every Thursday, at prime time (9-10pm GMT / 10-11pm CET) on leading online station, afterhours.fm. As well as the radio broadcast you can also sign up and subscribe to “Mental Asylum Radio” via i-Tunes. For track listings and downloads, keep an eye on his social channels and his Soundcloud

This week I pass the show over to local trance DJ, David Espinosa. His guest this week is a good friend of mine and an amazing DJ/Producer from the Netherlands. Owner of one of my favourite labels Redux.

About Rene: Born in the small city of Enschede in the Netherlands, Rene Ablaze has steadily risen through the ranks of trance music over the past two decades to become one of its most exciting talents.

The man otherwise known as Rene Bos released his first record back in 1996 and set up his own imprint Redux Recordings in 2005, which counts over 100 releases to its name. As well as his consistent slew of anthems on his own label, he’s also released on some of the scene’s biggest labels, including the legendary Spinnin Records, Infrasonic and Nukleuz. Support for his work has come from the biggest names in trance, from Armin van Buuren to Markus Schulz, with his fiery productions finding their way onto compilations by Ministry Of Sound, Armada and Sony to name a few. His remixes for the likes of Tiësto, Airwave, Yves Deruyter, Airwave, Wellenrausch, Gary D, Jones & Stepherson, Setrise and Walsh & McAuley have been bit met with huge acclaim

His sound is drenched in complex melodies, with a tough edge that never veers too far yet provides a solid, punchy groove for his riffs to build upon. Mixing progressive house and trance, his occasional forays into the mainstream have seen him champion soaring vocals and infectious hooks. He scored his biggest chart hit in 2008 with Stealin Love, which reached No. 21 in the Dutch Top 40 and No. 2 in the Slam FM Top 40 with the help of Fallen Skies. In 2012, his single Curiosity hit No. 1 in Germany’s Radio Sunshine Live Top 20, further cementing his reputation as a producer of infectious crossover tracks.

His weekly 2-hour radio show Redux Sessions continues to go from strength to strength, broadcasting the latest trance and progressive anthems to an ever-increasing audience via a selection of stations across the world, while his DJing has taken him to Germany, Spain, Russia and the Ukraine, to legendary events such as Love Parade, Ruhr In Love, Nature One. Two decades in the game and showing no signs of slowing down, Rene Ablaze is as dedicated to his craft as ever.
