Alphazone

[DIONYSOS]

Everything started with an idea: on the hunt for a new crowd-pleasing Trance experience, the producers of Alphazone thought that it must be possible to use some progressive elements in melodic Trance productions. They combined slamminh hard drums, racing rhythms, and pushing acid lines with uplifiting melodies and tremendous breakdowns and buildups to create their own definition of high energy trance.

The producers of wellknown trance projects like Alphazone, DJ Kim, Saltwater, and Nebulus, are Alexander Zwarg and Arne Reichelt. They are in producing dancefloor approved clubmusic in their own studio since 1995. The past two years they have continously built their reputation as Trance maniacs and now sail on a big and steady growing wave of support.

While Arne collected his first experiences with electronic dance music in the early nineties, Alex joined his passion in 1995. Thanks to his technical understanding of synthesizers and samplers, it was Alex (a former student of telecommunication) who made it possible for both of them to start producing Techno and Dance Music in an own little studio at home.

With time their studio grew bigger and bigger, and also their production standards and mixing skills. They decided to create a small enterprise and start producing on a more professional level. Their first official release was Overload in 1996. After having released some progressive stuff on various labels until 1999, they decided to give their sound a more trancy, melodic feel in 2000. Finally the remix of DJ Kim's Jetlag in 2001 (which was a smashing floorburner all across Europe) was the initial success for their continuous work: the Alphazone sound was born.

In Spring 2002 they released their first Alphazone vinyl Stay on Waterworld Records in Germany. With a rolling bassline, a bumping kick, tremendous acid feel, and an exstatic synth hook, they created a huge anthem, often played and well known in the entire Hard Trance scene. Meanwhile, Alphazone remixed projects like Ian Van Dahl, Kira, Dave Joy, Jay Walker, and BK. While these singles already took their place in record cases of many international DJ stars, Alphazone kept working in the studio, because there were still many big things to come in 2003. In April they released Saltwater ~ The Legacy (together with the producers of Norman Bass), which had a much trancier approach then the other Alphazone mixes, but nevertheless got impressive support from all the big Trance jocks like Tiesto, Ferry Corsten, and Johan Gielen. Some weeks later they released their Alphazone follow-up single Rockin on Waterworld Records. Including an ingenious Mat Silver & Tony Burt remix, which received highest reviews everywhere, this single took off the roof from every club around. In summer 2003, Arne and Alex moved with their studio to a new location and they had to spend the coming months to get everything working again. Back on the track in August 2003, the Hard Trance community saw a successful release of the latest DJ Kim single Time & Space with an Alphazone remix on the A-side.
