For the New York production and DJ duo known as Trendroid, it's been a dizzying climb up the dance music ranks. Pankaj and Matt Edwards, the Trendroid partners, have established themselves as names to watch in just a few short years, building a huge buzz in the dance music underground. And they did it all while holding down day jobs few would associate with basslines and beats: Working as full-time doctors at a prestigious New York hospital!
The duo met as first year medical students in New Jersey, where they discovered their similar taste in music. While swapping stories around the anatomy table, they realized that they had been dj'ing and partying in the same circles for years, without ever meeting. Remembering a time when their lives were not consumed by scalpels and stethoscopes, they talked about NYC in the early 90's. It was an era of creativity, color and eclecticism that the city's nightlife has not since seen, and the days of NASA, Disco 2000, and Club USA left a strong imprint on them.
They took away from that culture a respect for diversity and forward thinking, both in music and in life. But by the time they met, the music and scene in NY had become fractioned and uninspired, losing the flavor and originality that it once had. So, as Pankaj and Matt say, "The Trendroid arrived to help shake things up a bit." In the process, the two have pushed their own unique style, one they describe as a "future house" sound.
At the time, Matt favored classic NY house and tribal, and Pankaj played UK progressive house. Drawing from their many influences, they soon got into the studio and wrote their first tracks, "Ignition" and "Hausjam", which the legendary NY nightclub Twilo immediately signed to their new label. "Ignition" turned out to be a progressive house monster that still doesn't leave most djs' record boxes. The B side, "Hausjam", is a tough tech-houser that may just clip your bass bins. Twilo used this record as their debut single, and things started snowballing from there.
Their next original track "Trendication" on Twisted Records was a massive smash, picked by Mixer Magazine as a single of the month, and played by X-Press 2 four times in one set at London's Fabric nightclub. In the last 12 months, Trendroid has remixed everyone from German trance heroes Jam & Spoon to to pop star Mandy Moore. They've remixed 3 number one records in that time (Superchumbo's "Revolution", X-Press 2's "Smoke Machine" and Murk's "Dark Beat"), and their tracks have been licensed to the prestigious Cream and Global Underground compilations, among others.
Their range as DJs and producers and tremendous buzz was certainly recognized throughout the industry, with URB Magazine recently selecting Trendroid as part of their influential "Next 100" list of 2002. And it did not take long for their skills to be noticed by top DJ's of all genres, including Roger Sanchez, Sasha, and Danny Tengalia. Pete Tong even called them "the ones to look out for" in his MUZIK magazine column. The list of their supporters is far too long to describe, but in looking at these names it is clear why many people describe their work as "fusing the sound of the UK with the attitude & energy of NY."
Kinetic Records also recognized the momentum that Pankaj & Matt had gathered, and during the Winter Music Conference in 2002, they approached Trendroid about mixing the sixth volume in their ground breaking Transport series. (Previous Transport releases were mixed by the likes of Paul Oakenfeld, Quivver, and Max Graham). The duo took the series in a new direction, reflective of their unique sound, fusing house with tribal, prog, and techno elements. The compilation truly demonstrated Pankaj and Matt's uncanny ability to layer and build a DJ set. It received rave reviews in all the relevant magazines, and also established Trendroid as the newest players in the globetrotting DJ ranks: they regularly play almost all major North American markets, with residencies in San Francisco and The Dominican Republic. Some of their more notable international gigs include Pacha - Ibiza, Turnmills & Renaissance - London, The Womb - Tokyo, Plus Soda - Athens, and the massive Electro Parade in Portugal.
In the next year, expect a number of new projects by Trendroid, for labels such as Stealth, FUJU, Twisted, and others. With their medical careers now on hold, Pankaj and Matt will devote all their attention to making music. If these first few years are any indication, Trendroid has nothing but a promising future ahead of them. Looking for dance music artists on the verge of making it big? Check out Trendroid.

djqwest You know what I am talking about. Once apon a time, it didnt matter if I brough 1 person, 10 people, or 100 people.
How to get a job DJing then:
Give demo to person who does booking.
If the music you picked was good.
You programmed the music good.
You were on beat
Your sound was good
You got a job
And when you got a job DJing you got a guest list, and all your friends got in FREE.
Today:
Bring people. Promters dont even care about your demo anymore, not necessary. Just bring people. Today, you will get a guest list, and your friends will get in for a "REDUCED" admission
I know first hand as promoters have contacted me with respect to the djs on mmradio. First thing they would say...
"Can that dj draw"?
"Can he bring heads"?
"How many people can this dj bring"?
"Does hes have a mailing list"?
classic fuckin bullshit...

Theres plenty of great places to go with great djs, get over it.
you must be mildly retarded because you totally have no clue what IanJohn is writing about.

The people that call me gay and post pics of my face on others bodies believe it or not are actually friends of mine and it is done in a humorous way without an animosity or ill-will.
Bottom Line
Youre still an asshole.
and you're still an ass pumping fag...

Italian DJ/Producer Nebula
Elvio Trampus aka Nebula started his career as a DJ in 1984 working for radio stations and disco's in northern Italy. In 1988, strongly fascinated by the londoner Acid House scene, he drastically changed his approach to music, abandoning the music "schemes" of the time.
Passion for music made him want to create his own professional recording studio. 1990 was the starting point of his music career. In 1991 he recorded his first record. In 1993 he cooperated with Radio Italia Network for the realization of the programme U.S.A. Dance Attack.
Since 1994 he works exclusively in his studio on his own productions. In 1996 his 12" "Molecular Pulsation" was released by Disturbance, followed by the 12" "Interceptor", which gained pretty much success both in England and in Germany. In 1996 he also released his first album "Gate To Infinity".
In the 1998 his second album "Chronologies" was released till the end of 2000, when, from his mind, the third album "Blue Frontiers"comes to life. It contains all the 2000 12" productions that were in many techno-trance european charts capturing the attention of many DJ's.
Year after year his musical skills seem to develop further: he produces new records, CD's and participates as a DJ in different rave parties in Holland, Switzerland and Germany performing techno and trance. Since 2002 his productions are released by Ipnotika Records and he's ready to create new hits. His mix set have transmitted in many european radio stations.
In the 2003, he was nominated at NJR Extravadance Awards in Denmark as best 2002 international DJ. Because of his experience, many producers wish now to cooperate with him in different projects and remixes. Golf is his hobby, so you definitely know what he's doing when he's not in a studio.....
