Solarize Agency welcome's Jonas Steur

Solarize Agency proudly welcomes the well-talented Jonas Steur on board of the Solarize-ship. The always smiling wonderkid from Belgium, who releases his hot records on Black Hole Recordings and Spinnin’ Records, delivers a incredible sound from tribal beats to minimal bleeps, melodic bliss and deep dark moody grooves.

Jonas Steur has become a familiar name in the trance scene the last few years. With several big hits like “Tales from the south”, “Castamara” , “Second turn” and “Fall to pieces”, just to name a few , and remixes for all the major labels in the trance scene, he did his part for the melodic yet progressive minded side of trance. He's allergic to supersaws and minute long snare rolls and doesn't shy away from playing techno and house in his sets nowadays.

Leon Bolier is a caterpillar, from the deepest progressive straight to tough tech-trance anthems. Leon does it all, but Leon is at his best when making pure euphoric melodic trance. The follow up after Summer night Confessions is out now on Spinnin’ , and as most people know by now, we are talking about ‘Ocean Drive Boulevard’ which is played over and over again by the 7 only dj’s who got the promo – Tiesto, Armin van Buuren, Paul Oakenfold, Judge Jules, Ferry Corsten, Sander van Doorn and Eddie Halliwell.

This track has all the strong Bolier sounds in it, driven by pumping beats, this track builds up with a beautiful guitar in the first break, to explode with an outstanding, catchy melody. Climax to the top, ready to rock the summer festivals all over the world. This is Leon Bolier at his absolute best!




 

Galen Behr - new single on it's way !


After his last track on "United Recordings" - "Shift of the Ages" which had support from Armin van Buuren, Markus Schulz, Above & Beyond, Cosmic Gate, Ronski Speed and many others, Galen Behr stepped onto a new road to success, it's to early to tell anything more, but his newest single is ready, and will be out around Spring time!

In the meantime Galen Behr will cross the world for some hot madness performances. Check out the schedule on this website where you can catch Galen Behr doing his blasting thing behind the decks!




 

Cliff Coenraad & Thomas Hagenbeek - Filthy Ripper !


The first release on "Be Yourself Music" for Cliff Coenraad is a fact! "Filthy Ripper" is an awesome production, both refreshingly new as well as the track features all that a dance floor destroyer really needs today. Twisted raw and heavy beats, supported by a lead melody which will certainly shake up many many clubbers around the globe.
The title of the track says it all.

Here's what the professionals are saying:

Michael Paterson: Great stuff!
Marco V: Proud to have this on my In Charge label!




 

Re:Locate strikes back with Times X [Armada]


Why waste any words? "MigMag UK" spreads the word via their popular magazine, here's what they had to say about "Times X"

“Only the one track present on this release, but when it’s this good, you don’t really need an other. Narrowly missing out on this month’s top slot, ‘Times X’ is a curious hybrid of vocodered vocals, saw-tooth leads and savage percussion, but what really sets this is its originality. Sounding like nothing else out there, this rides the boundary between tech and hard trance beautifully and is a definite head-turning record. 5/5!”




 

Leon Bolier presents his first Mix CD: ‘Transmission’


Bolier is a busy man. He recently did cooperations with Sied van Riel, Jonas Steur and Joop, his own new single 'Ocean Drive Boulevard' is doing extremely well, being supported in Armin van Buuren's , Tiesto's, Markus Schulz's and Ferry Corsten's radio show, this anthem might be the biggest hit for Leon so far.
Leon is also working on his debut album, that will be released somewhere later this year on Spinnin' records. More news about this will follow in the following months.
More recent is his first mix compilation job, Trancemission is the name of the cd, disk 1 is mixed by Leon Bolier, as disk 2 is mixed by Scandinavian top jock Mike Shiver.

The Worldwide Trancemission CD tour
Solarize Agency and Captured Music combined forces. Leon Bolier and Mike Shiver will now be available as a package for the worldwide 'Trancemission CD tour'. Goodies as the cd it selves will be available at every Trancemission party. This is a one time collaboration, and the tour will be very exclusively. Contact us for more information.
The release date for the CD is set on January the 25th 2008, and will be released due Cloud9.




 

Cliff Coenraad remixes the Trance Energy Anthem 2008!


Yes yes ! Cliff Coenraad and his production partner Thomas Hagenbeek where asked to remix the Trance Energy Anthem 2008 'Ernesto vs. Bastian - Thrill'. What an honor indeed, and what an awesome remix it is ! Progressive beats, uplifting lead melody and the climax you expect from an anthem !

Cliff Coenraad found his home production wise. Together with Thomas Hagenbeek he now is signed to one of the best E.D.M. labels of the planet. Be Yourself Music. Their first single under the Be Yourself Music wings will be out on Marco V's In Charge Label. The single is called 'Filthy Ripper' and is exactly what your thoughts are, seeing that track name. Filthy funky and pumping beats, combined with surreal sounds, and a very effective melody.

Cliff and Thomas also remixed the new Leon Bolier single 'Ocean Drive Boulevard' which will soon be out on Spinnin Records.

Solarize Agency is a dedicated dj agency, arranging quality bookings for a small number of excellent dj’s is and has always been our core business. Bringing very talented dj’s to the top of ‘dj land’ is our main target. And with our current roster that should not take more then hard work, trust and some love…

Our Roster: Leon Bolier, Galen Behr, Re:Locate, Cliff Coenraad, Re-Ward and Jonas Steur, are each on their own significant way, boundary seekers. Both in producing as well as in dj’ing they are doing their thing, yet not forgetting that at the end, the audience is where they are doing it for. Every performance again is mind-blowing, clubbers tearing the roof down of every club, or making a mess of every festival field in the world.
