New Talent: Andy Jay Powell

Well,he isn't "new" in that sense,since he's been producing since 1998,but I don't think he ever has gotten that much attention.So therefore,this thread is for giving Andy a well-deserved spotlight.

His latest set on SSL (27.05.03) is simply a delicious collection of swirling melodies that are bursting with that lush summer feeling trance can give at its best.Even though his mixing is a bit odd(he favours short transitions instead of those long ones,plus he just lets the records play out when there's commercial breaks coming up), this still doesn't detract from how incredibly soothing his selection of tunes sounds.On top of that he makes some very nice tunes as well.AJP - Summerwave sounds like Ralphie B with a dash of Ronski Speed,yet with enough distinctiveness to stand out. Savon - Way To Heaven is quite nice,too.

It's just so refreshing to see a german dj play pure uplifting goodness for once,when they so often are plagued with german hard cheese.So Andy,big up to ya!

The musical career of the Frankfurt Producers and Dj began in the year 1995 on the legendary citizen of Berlin Trance label LUNATEC.

There it published serveral maxi singles under the name harmonic resource, TBB and phase 2 Face.

In the meantime the number of its releases (among other things on Suck ME plasma, Overdose, BXR, audio plastic, harem ans space Traxx)
on over 40 increased Club hits such as Calderone - Flash in the night or Savon - Children of paradise, AJP - Rainbow Sailor and AJP meets Robert Kline - Like a dream did not only provide for DDC (German Dance Charts) placements (Top30), but helphim aslo to the call of a highly regarded trance producer.

Also Co productions with artists underline this such a dock tracid,
Non Eric, DJ Shah etc., as wellas numerous orders for rem ix (among other things for Mauro Picotto, Marino Stephano aka C.M., Mac Zimms, Luxor and Crazy Malamute).

In the year 1998 Andy Jay Powell finally seized the resolution
to dare itself also as DJ to the Turntables. With its "Uplifting Trance" sets it succeeded to it fast in clubs as to be presented the "Dorian Gray" and the "Paramount park" (both Frankfurt/Main).
Further stations were the "Prodo x" (Darmstadt), "A65" (Karlsruhe), "Kinki Palace" (Sinsheim), "Watergate" (Munich/Rave), etc.. Besides it plays also in various radio transmissions ("Welcome to The club "on radio Sunshine Live and RPR maximum with Tillmann uhrmacher), and/or in InterNet radio transmissions (radio unity/cyber channel).

Also numerous foreign country Gigs has to show Andy Jay Powell
meanwhile. Thus it played etc., as well as on Raves like "Goliath", for example into well-known Swiss club Oxa (Zurich), "WAD" (Lausanne), "night work" (Thun) and gate 1 (Berne), The LAB of pres. Mars 2001 (Geneva), "Runway mission" (Basel), etc.
