JULY UPDATE FROM FUTURE ENTERTAINMENT:
With only 80 Days to go it wont be long before we shake off the ice and groove to the sounds of the "Boombox".
http://www.facebook.com/video/video...oid=91752915939
We will be shortly announcing our local support acts that will warm things up for the likes of Blank & Jones, J00F, JES (live) and Cosmic Gate none the less, so stay tuned.
Tickets are still available online at TICKETEK or contact me to grab limited $55 VIP tickets (Kea 0411 241 812 club_ktashtrophy@yahoo.com.au). Remember this will be held on the long weekend, so it will be awesome to gain access to the VIP area to chill and recharge those party energons.
This month we feature BLANK & JONES:
Blank & Jones is a Cologne, Germany based Trance duo, consisting of the members Jan Pieter Blank and Jaspa Jones. They have released eight albums and more than 16 singles since their first single release "Sunrise" in 1997.
Piet Blank who recognized the great desire in him for music had his first experience in spinning a record on a turntable at age 16. Jaspa Jones, on the other hand, had his first experience as a DJ at age 19. Together with help from Andy Kaufhold (producer) they formed the trance production team Blank & Jones after meeting at the Popkomm music conference.
Even though, they had been together for a few years, their first album, In the Mix, was a studio production that came out in 1999. As of 2008, thirteen of their singles have made it into the German Top 50, and three into the Top 20. Each album made the Top 50, including two which reached the Top Ten.
Blank & Jones have teamed up with Robert Smith from The Cure, Anne Clark, Sarah McLachlan, Claudia Brücken from (Propaganda), and Delerium. They have also contributed to the Café del Mar compilation series and produced their own chill-out albums, Relax (the editions),
In 2006 Blank & Jones and their long-standing production colleague Andy Kaufhold collated their finest material on one release, The Singles, which also included two new tracks. The album was also released in Limited Edition format, in which The Singles are complemented by a DVD, bringing together all Blank & Jones videos on one disc for the first time.
They released their latest single entitled "Miracle Cure" on May 30, 2008 off their new studio album The Logic of Pleasure which is a collaboration with New Order's frontman Bernard Sumner.
When asked about the key to their success, their response is:
“We do everything digitally, on the basis of Final Scratch, which allows us to use our own edits and mixes, nothing comes straight from tape. Every set we play is unique, not only sound-wise but also in terms of what we play and how we play it. Roughly 60% of our set consists of our own repertoire, as where better to present our own material than via the DJ decks.”
Check out some of their classic tracks:

THIS MONTH WE FEATURE: JOHN 00 FLEMING
Check out his most recent interview with Inthemix:
http://www.inthemix.com.au/features...trance_flavours
John 00 Fleming is one of a few artists in dance music who has preserved underground respect whilst enjoying commercial success during a career spanning two decades.
His ability to transcend genres in a quest to take great music to the masses, has resulted in a unique and sought-after sound that is purely ‘JOOF’. A pioneering producer and DJ, John 00 Fleming has led his own sonic movement, respected by artists across the globe from Moby and Muse to Jean Michel Jarre.
John has sold 10 million records, with singles on over 100 mix compilations and has remixed a cross section of elite artists from Erasure to NIN. He has had 10 mix compilations and 5 singles in the UK Top 40 charts on labels including Virgin, EMI and Warner Music.
In clubs, warehouses, basements, festivals and charts across the world, John 00 Fleming has well and truly earned his reputation as one of the most in-demand and well respected artists in dance music.
John 00 Fleming’s first solo artist album is planned for release in Autumn / Winter 2009. Look out for further news!
The last time he was down in Sydney for Sublime, he blew the roof off Home. I know many of you who were there would agree.
Check out some of the adventures he's had with db (digital blonde):

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
We feature COSMIC GATE for our final feature this month:
Over 10 boundary-pushing years, Nic Chagall and Bossi have evolved Cosmic Gate into one of the most creative and highly-sought-after electronic music acts in the world. Revered uber-producers, their musical acumen has seen them become long-term favourites of the trance’s Big 5 DJs with their 3 hugely-received albums transporting anthems like ‘Body of Conflict’, ‘I Feel Wonderful’, ‘Analog Feel’, or the classics ‘Exploration of Space’ and Fire Wire to the dancefloor. As DJs, their kinetic, blood-pumping live performances are seen by hundreds of thousands of club and festival goers annually. Playing a 100 nights every year, it’s this ever-visible club presence that saw them reach their highest position to-date on the DJ Mag Top 100, landing at No.62 in 2008.
Following a chance meeting at a label office in Cologne in late 1998, the pair collaborated for the first time. It’s a production partnership that has become one of the dance world’s most successful and memorable. In their homeland of Germany, they’ve maintained a consistent level of chart success, with no fewer than 7 Top 40 singles to their name and a Top 10 hit in the UK in 2001, with the quintessential club hit, Fire Wire. Drawing on a broad-range of their individual musical tastes and influences, they’ve continued to advance and enhance the sound… Following up the long-players ‘Rythm & Drums’ and ‘No More Sleep’, in 2006 they released ‘Earth Mover’, which saw a seismic shift towards a more melodic and electronically orientated music. Including the club hits ‘Analog Feel', ‘Should Have Known’ and ‘I Feel Wonderful’, the long-player was IDMA nominated for Best Album of 2007 and was latterly seen as a new ‘year one’ for Cosmic Gate.
In 2009 Nic and Bossi are set to release their fourth studio album ‘Sign of the Times’, which contains 11 floor-monsters-in-waiting, last year’s vocal anthem ‘Body of Conflict’ and the latest smash single ‘Not Enough Time’, which in the words of Tiësto is “a great and solid vocal trancer that touches all your musical senses!” And in the broader scale on ‘Sign of the Times’ Armin van Buuren says “The new Cosmic Gate album is one of the most anticipated releases of this year. They are on the forefront of the dance music sound of the moment… Bring on 2009!”
Over their production lifetime, the Cosmic Gate remixes have become almost as fêted as their productions. Essentially a blow by blow of trance music’s A-list, Nic and Bossi lent their studio know-how to productions by the likes of Tiësto, Armin van Buuren, Ferry Corsten, John O Callaghan, Above & Beyond’s OceanLab project, Rank 1 and Blank & Jones. Most recently they rewired Deadmau5’s ‘Clockwork’ to devastating effect and created two highly-praised remixes of ‘Vincent De Moor - Fly Away’ and ‘Veracocha - Carte Blanche’.
