===============================
An artist in every sense of the word, Johnny Yono brings all the passion and charisma that great musicians are made of. Born and raised in the suburbs outside of Detroit, Michigan Johnny led a very active upbringing, dabbling in everything from ice hockey to playing drums in rock bands before pursuing an acting career. Following his high school years, he was drawn in to Motor City’s rave scene and through Detroit’s legendary underground dance culture, Johnny’s love for electronic music began to blossom.
At the time however, acting was Johnny’s primary focus and in his early twenties, he set out to Los Angeles to pursue the grand dream of making it on the big screen. Johnny landed numerous roles in TV shows and independent films and managed to keep himself afloat but, continued to indulge in LA’s ever-growing electronic music industry. Having been inspired by Armin van Buuren, Paul van Dyk, Sasha & Digweed and many more, Johnny could no longer ignore his true calling. He assembled a small studio and began producing dance music. After experimenting with a variety of sounds, he finally planted himself in the realm of Trance and has remained ever since.
Turning heads with his breakout single, 'Fairfax' -- Johnny established himself as a name to watch out for after signing with UK's powerhouse Trance label, Enhanced Recordings. The track received massive support from many artists including Armin van Buuren on 'A State Of Trance' and Markus Schulz on 'Global DJ Broadcast' where it was named the "Global Selection". Following the aftermath of 'Fairfax', Johnny continued a streak of releasing quality dance tracks ever since. From the energetic, Tech-Trance monster, 'The Machine' (with Juventa) to his numerous classics on Lange Recordings such as 'Orion' and 'Exodus' and flexing his versatility with his debut 138 BPM single, 'Pulverize', Johnny has established himself as one of the genre’s brightest up and coming talents. Over the recent years, he’s made his mark on renown industry imprints such as Armada Music, Euphonic Records, Garuda Music, Damaged Records and Perfecto Records, where he not only remixed Paul Oakenfold's covers of the classics, 'Barber’s Adagio For Strings' and 'Hold That Sucker Down' but, also released his first EP, 'Poison Whispers' which received numerous plays from Armin van Buuren on 'A State Of Trance' as well as support from Ferry Corsten, Mark Sherry, Lange, Andy Moor, Simon Patterson and many others.
As a DJ, Johnny has shared the stage with many key players on the forefront of Trance including Dash Berlin, Ferry Corsten, Aly & Fila, Paul Oakenfold, Andrew Rayel, W&W, Cosmic Gate, Lange, Omnia, Kyau & Albert, Solarstone, Alex M.O.R.P.H., Jordan Suckley, Photographer and more. He's no doubt among the most promising rising stars in Trance music today and certainly one to keep on your radar in the coming years.
You can catch his monthly radio show, 'White Light Sessions' every 2nd Tuesday of the month on Digitally Imported (DI.FM).

===============================
On July 21, 1994, Michael Phase was born in The Bronx, New York. Raised around the eccentric sounds of his culturally rich and diverse neighborhoods, he was influenced by the sounds of Old-School Hip-Hop, Rock, Punjabi, and Freestyle. Most importantly, he was inspired by his family’s culture when they blasted Bachata, Reggaeton, Merengue, and Salsa at home. At the age of 10, Phase was first introduced to Dance music through an arcade game known as Dance Dance Revolution. Exploring and experimenting with new genres, including Trance, House, J-Pop, and Electro House, helped him open up to a new world sparking a passion for EDM. Recognizing his new found love, his friend presented him with one of the most life changing gifts, FL.Studios.
From there, Phase spent many nights learning and creating his own sounds launching his dreams of becoming a professional DJ and Producer. This dream became a reality when he landed his first gig at New York City’s landmark club Europa in 2006. Soon after, Phase formed Droid Beats with his long time friend David. Droid Beats was innovative and blended Electro House, Dubstep, and Trance. The duo became known for working with renowned artists including (George Acosta, Devin Martin, and Dank) releasing numerous well-received remixes and original tracks Including “It’s Over” and “Electro Bros”.
After a successful run with Droid Beats, the time came for Phase to open up a new chapter in which Michael Phase was born. It’s through this name that Phase forges his truest sounds to date and envisions his music to be life changing to others just as it was for him. Mainly fusing elements from Big Room and Hardstyle, Phase has been catching the attention of numerous dance music fans from across the globe. His debut year, 2015, has been filled with success after releasing his highly supported tracks “Kalypso”,“Time is Now”,“The Jumpoff”, and recently “Banzai”, which was premiered on the 265th episode of ‘Hardwell on Air’. Within this short time, he has gained notoriety and the attention of several EDM pioneers such as Rob Gee, Alex Kidd, and Dr.Rude whom have projects in the works with Phase at the moment.
This prolific artist and craftsman has gained strides through the airwaves of one of the biggest radio shows in the business and gained major support from the likes of Noisecontrollers, Brennan Heart, LNY TNZ, Audiotricz, Audiofreq, Kutski, Geck-o, Villain, Le Shuuk, and many more. With such a great success in only a year, Phase has a promising future ahead and hopes to lead all his fans to Plátano Land.

Jonny Zeslawski

===============================
Jonny's early musical influences were from from his Dad playing the likes of Jean Michel Jarre, Depeche Mode and Pet Shop Boys in the late 80's/early 90's.
Music became a huge part of his life and after the Dance Mania craze of '95 in the UK, he was hooked! As Trance became huge towards the start of '99. Jonny became heavily influenced by the likes of Ferry Corsten, Paul van Dyk and Armin van Burren.
Using his Dad's old record deck, another he got from his cousin and a cheap 2-channel mixer, he started DJing in his bedroom using a small selection of records. Early favourites included Fragma - Toca Me (InPetto Mix), Atlantis vs Avatar - Fiji (Lange Remix) and System F - Out of the Blue.
As soon as he was old enough (uh, hmm...) he'd be seen at GodsKitchen most Fridays and PaSSion most Saturdays, listening the the biggest DJs and observing their skills in the booth. Jonny started DJing at pubs, small venues, house parties, birthdays and even weddings; anywhere to get more experience. One of his personal highlights being playing a Trance Classics Set in a 15th Century castle in England - at a wedding! Even the bride had glo-sticks...
Jonny moved to New York in 2015 and his musical style has developed further based on the thriving music scene in Brooklyn and Manhattan. He'd likely describe his style as "anything melodic, with cool beats, driving basslines and awesome riffs that makes people smile and move! I'd say I'm into everything covering Techy-Deep-Progressive-Melodic-Trance, but I'll always tend towards 138!"
After a few years putting music on the backburner and playing at house parties with friends at his apartment in Brooklyn, he's back and you can catch him across New York this summer, performing for Akashic Rift and Inoki Party.
Stay tuned for more announcements!
