UBM015 – Shaun Ansari ‘Fury’ – Out Now « Result #4 on Dec 14, 2009, 9:14am »
For release number fifteen, Upbeat pulls together a seriously hard-hitting trance package built around the magnificent 'Fury' by young genius Shaun Ansari. From his very first release and in only a short space of time, Shaun has emerged as one of Upbeats key artists proving that his production style is up there alongside the very best.
His previous releases on Upbeat have boasted support from the biggest names in the business including Above & Beyond, Jon O'Bir, Ernesto vs. Bastian, Kuffdam, Mark Pledger plus an enviable host of other industry-standard names. In seeking to compliment the mighty original with its pulsing and warming lead melody, we assembled a stellar line up of international remixers, designed to cater for every taste in trance and each of whom bring a unique take on the original.
Supporting: M.I.K.E, Pedro del Mar, Manuel le Saux, Mark Eteson, Graham Gold, Ehren Stowers, Suzy Solar, Haris C, Michael Splint, Andre Visior, Indecent Noise, Kristina Sky, Sasha da Link, Ex-Driver, Michael Angelo, Ian Betts, Karybde & Scylla, Ronny K, Yaz, ReOrder, Ian Buff, Sean Truby & more..
First up, and flying the Belgian flag, the legendary Icone makes his debut for Upbeat with a plucky and driving remix which is every bit as good as the world has come to expect following his previous fame on a huge selection of premier trance labels where he has worked his unique magic. Second up is another artist with previous weapons of mass destruction released on Upbeat, Niklas Grosswald. Here he raises the bar with a remix featuring beautiful soft rising pads and chords, and one which unquestionably justifies his hype and reinforces his name as a force to be reckoned with following a succession of dynamite releases.
Roald Velden, one half of the creative brain that is Cylum & Velden, provides the third remix which combines his own individual influences with the experienced genius that comes only from a production duo of such a sensational calibre. The result is a truly superb remix whose soaring synth and leads redefine the very word uplifting. Finally, and fighting from the Polish corner, is TrancEye who rounds up the package and whose remix featuring his trademark euphoric pounding trance sounds marks a new high for this young hero.

The German trance duo of Solace and Solitude comprising Pete Severano and Christian Anders bursts onto the scene with a stunning three track EP. Having only been working together since 2008, it was their passion for the same style of music which inevitably lead to their cooperation. Chris's technical knowledge acquired during his studies at the School of Audio Engineering in Munich, combined with Pete's experience as a DJ has resulted in something very special indeed.
As a DJ with 10 years experience, Pete is well aware of what it takes to shake a dance floor, whilst Chris's production background spans rock and house as well as trance and whilst Chris was already producing various styles of music, Pete was busy sharing numerous gigs behind the turntables with major league DJs. In addition to churning out superb uplifting trance melodies fused with pounding beats, Pete and Chris also run their own event 'Trancecube' which has been delivering the goods with some of the biggest names in trance since 2006.

Biography
Simon Patterson the DJ.... is one of the hottest properties in dance music right now. His creative offerings as a producer have captured audiences, bringing them willing with him along his musical adventure. From techy moods to edgey riffs, spin tingling melodies to driving basslines, Simon’s studio offspring’s of the past 12 months have raised his profile to see him become a much in-demand dj, producer and remixer.
Signed exclusively to the hugely respected Spinnin’ Records, Simon’s music has earned him massive support from industry leaders such as Paul van Dyk, Tiesto, Armin van Burren, Ferry Corsten, Judge Jules and Above & Beyond. With tracks such as F:16 (Nov 2006), Panic Attack / Strip Search (Apr 2007), Bulldozer / We’ll See (Sept 2007), attaining almost cult statues, coupled with widespread acclaim from the dance media.
However, it’s when he’s behind the decks that the sound of Simon comes alive. With a style described as cutting edge, dark, driving, pulsating, Simon’s technical ability is a finely tuned art that fuses trance with elements of techno and electronica. If you’re stood on a dance floor when Patterson’s behind the CDJ’s you know who’s in control, and the only thing you’re likely to do is to dance and dance hard.
Moving from Belfast to London some 10 years ago his career has been punctuated with a wealth of experience in dance music. From working alongside Dave Lambert at top Universal dance label AM:PM, which led to him being approached by head A&R man Nick Halkes to work with him on his new Ministry Of Sound label – Incentive Records, he then went on to being the driving force in the engine rooms of two of the biggest shows on Radio 1, he utilised his finely tuned ear working as the tastemaker behind Seb Fontaine and Judge Jules’ peak-time Saturday nighters.
Labelled by Mixmag in 2004 as ‘One to Watch for the future’, Simon has since drawn on this knowledge, and with an unparallel passion for music, he has now thrust himself firmly at the forefront of the trance elite, and is firmly forging his own career as a prolific artist within his field.
In the past five years Simon has really clocked up the air miles, rocking some of the biggest parties on offer. His highlights are vast, and too lengthy to list, but here are a few. In Rotterdam, crowds of up to 500,000 witnessed the might of Simon Patterson, revellers that flock to the sun drenched dance Mecca that is Ibiza have experience his sound year in, year out, a huge tour of the far-east and an indoor festival in Russia where he gave 20,000 Muscovites a musical masterclass. Behind the CDJ’s Simon has graced the world stage at many prolific festivals such as Dance Valley, Sunrise, Gatecrasher Summer Sound System, HI-FI, Sunrise, Planet Love, Monday Bar Cruise, Full on Ferry, Mexico Stadium, all the while delivering his sound to new audiences with frequent appearances throughout Asia, Australasia, Europe, North and South America. Whilst his club repertoire stands equally tall ranging from the likes of Godskitchen, Gatecrasher, Inside Out, Turnmills, Slinky, Judgement Sunday, Passion, Escape, Koolwaters and Wildchild, where he has left the foundations of each of these clubs shaken to their very core.
Aside from his solo projects Simon was also one half of the massive Dogzilla with Richard Kayvan, which with just one tune shook up the trance scene in the 00’s. Picked by former world 1 DJ Paul van Dyk as his track of year, ‘Without You’ sent shockwaves throughout clubland finding phenomenal support along the way. With their genre-defying productions, Dogzilla tracks became part of every top DJ's set list and still remains in doing so, from the early days of their eponymously titled debut, which featured in the cult Brit flick 'The Football Factory', right up to the massive 'Your Eyes’ and ‘Frozen’, Dogzilla’s music achieved an impressive foray on the modern day club scene. However, 2008 saw Patterson depart from Dogzilla and go at it solo style.
Although Dogzilla had been his passion for several years, he felt it was time to branch out and expand his own djing and production work.
Regarded by M8 Magazine as ‘one of the highlights of 2007’, there is no doubt that Simon Patterson has ‘big hitter’ in his blood. With his foot firmly to the pedal as a producer, boasting a diary that reeks of big things, coupled with a desire that is second to none, world…..you better look out!
