The sound of the legendary Signum duo has been resounding in the dance scene for nearly one and a half decade. The two musical masterminds, Ron Hagen and Pascal Minnaard, have kept trance alive throughout the years. Their discography is a collection of ultimate trance classics and future favourites, creating one anthem after another. In 2010, the time is right to finally release the debut album everyone's been waiting for. In dedication to all their fans and supporters, Signum proudly presents 'For You'.

Throughout the years, the Dutch duo has grown and developed, getting into a more diverse sound, without ever losing the true trance sound that they started with in 1997. 'What Ya Got 4 Me', 'Coming On Strong', 'Push Through', 'First Strike', 'Distant Signature', the more recent 'Addicted', 'Riddles In The Sand', Roger Shah collabs 'Healesville Sanctuary' and 'Ancient World', remixes for Armin van Buuren, Tiësto, ATB and many others, all tracks and remixes ride that typical, unrivalled Signum sound. Praised for his unrivalled DJ sets, Ron performed at A State of Trance 400 and 450, as part of a line-up voted for by the millions of listeners of Armin van Buuren's radioshow.

But Signum wasn’t planning to stick to their past successes. Now, at the end of 2010, Ron and Pascal are proud to present their first artist album. 'For You' is a full-colour collection oldskool trance, rousing tech, uplifting, Balearic prog and cinematic down-tempo. Featuring collabs with Roger Shah, Antonia Lucas, Kate Louis Smith and Julie Thompson, 'For You' takes you in completely. With an open mind and fuel to keep the highlights coming for years and years, Signum will keep the trance fire going for a long time to go.

As if they weren’t unstoppable enough on their own, the inspired pairing of Boom Jinx and Andrew Bayer go head to head with the Trifonic duo and Matt Lange to create one of the biggest buzz tracks on Anjunadeep in months – ‘Quadcore’.



Already featured as Record Of The Week on Above & Beyond’s Trance Around The World, ‘Quadcore’ is a crazed crossover beast that takes in elements of electro, tech-house, trance and progressive and unleashes them into a uniquely groovy, bass squelching dancefloor bomb.



With pacey, weaving layers of rippling bass, jittery electro synths and head-spinning sonic trickery, ‘Quadcore’ ramps up to a fierce crescendo before collapsing into a reflective musical breakdown – only to smash back into a suckerpunch of dirty electro squelch. A unique beast that is loaded with ideas and surprise shifts, 'Quadcore' is sure to trample over all sorts of genre barriers and find fans in all corners.



It would take a confident producer to take on such a track and Mau5trap's Steve Duda is certainly that. A collaborator of the mighty Deadmau5, Duda has also worked with renowned artists like industrial pioneers Nine Inch Nails, Rob Zombie and A Perfect Circle. Bringing three decades of production expertise to the ‘Quadcore’ table, Duda’s remix is a respectful rework that keeps the dirty electro groove but adds a beautifully emotive piano melody that is both sombre and optimistic.

Phunk Investigation makes a welcome debut on Beat Therapy Records with banging techno tracks.

Their 2 track EP is supported by the likes of D-Formation, Da Fresh, Popof, Umek, Pablo Ceballos and many more!

Northern Irish duo Jet Project drop anchor at Snatch! Records.

Already responsible for an impressive slate of remixes and tracks; Timmy Stewart & John McIver follow releases on Get Physical, VIVa MUSiC and Silicone Souls Darkroom Dubs with two outstanding, uncomplicated and bass-heavy tech house cuts.

The conventional yet colossal, marching tech house drums on 'U Know' neatly support the soulful and spacious vocal. The guys tease tension out of the male voice with a tightly bound sub bass that lurks beneath intricate pounding drums. Despite pushing the track to the edge of sleaze, 'U Knows' piping vocal wraps the track in a warm hypnotic cloth, giving it a perfect sheen of groove, while clean and snappy drums combine with eery dram drops, leaving everything quivering in anticipation at the return of the drums.

With 'The Jam' Jet Project take on an almost ritualistic quality with infectious spliced horns bouncing along between whispering chants and fidgety percussion, full of tech-stepping dexterity.
