I’m releasing an EP!! I’m so excited for this release, more than anything in years, but what exactly is it? 

I wanted to create an opening EP to my new project CRICA96 which is 100% integral to my core beliefs about dance music, it's origins and what direction I feel I should go in the future. When I was in school we didn't have genre's or BPM's, we just called everything 'Dance Tunes', it was more than just a sound, it was a culture. Our whole identities were defined by the music we listened to and the places we went. I want to bring back that feeling of belonging. I want to bring back ART to dance music in a time when it's all about the marketing. This is what CIRCA96 stands for.

CIRCA96 - Perfect Moment (Released January 31st)

Over the last 10 years Craig Connelly has firmly established his place amongst the Trance Elite. Three #1 selling albums including his latest Believe In Magic which turned into a global TRILOGY tour playing the best music from his repertoire to date, already selling out Exchange LA with the concept earlier in the year. 

The increase in Craig’s popularity has been reflected in his touring schedule as this year he is set to perform at some of the worlds biggest clubs and festivals including, Creamfields, Dreamstate SoCal, A State of Trance, Subculture Melbourne, Untold Festival and more.

The last eleven years in music production have been prolific to say the least for Craig Connelly, with 40+ Beatport Top 10 selling Trance productions to date including eleven number 1’s and remixes for Armin van Buuren, Gareth Emery, Ferry Corsten, Lange, Andy Moor, John O’Callaghan and Aly & Fila to top it all off and his Roxanne Emery collaboration ‘This Life’ adding to rotation on Sirius XM’s BPM channel, the biggest dance music station in North America

His #1 selling artist album ‘A Sharper Edge’ has featured some of 2020’s biggest Trance Records. So much so, he was the #7 most played artist on A State of Trance radio last year with Time Machine & All For Love  featuring in the ASOT Top 100. 

In 2021 Craig has continued where he left off last year. His own label imprint Higher Forces has returned with releases Don’t Panic and most recently a Beatport #1 and early front runner for Tune of the Year, Keep Me Believing with Megan McDuffee. 

His vocal collaboration with Christina Novelli ‘Black Hole’ hit number 1 on Beatport in just two days, was also voted by ASOT Radio show as the forth biggest track of the year and the official music video has over 15 million views on YouTube to date.
