Centraal Trance Topic (32): Passiva

quote:

Galen Behr, better known as Passiva (and his aliases such as Ava Mea and Syndique), was born on the 19th of September 1986 in Rotterdam , The Netherlands. At the age of 10 he started to play the violin, and learnt the basics of music. A year later he stopped and started listening to electronic dance music and in a short while after he was producing. His first serious track, named 'Glamorize', gained support from Marc West & Jon O'Bir, but the track never got signed.
A few months later Galen made a radio remix of Ferry Corsten's legendary 'Indigo'. He sent it to the Tsunami label for fun without realizing it would be released. Galen immediately got a request from the label to make an extended version. The result; Ferry Corsten - 'Indigo' (Passiva Remix) has been hammered by Graham Gold (UK) in the kickin' cut of his radio show and has also received airplay in The Netherlands on Radio 538.
His original release 'Glamorize' has now been reworked into a massive trancer under the new title 'Clouds Like Heaven’, released on Captured Music in March 2004 with an uplifting Faraway Project Remix on the flip. The track got massive support by the likes of Armin van Buuren, Ferry Corsten, The Thrillseekers, Lange, Above & Beyond, Ronski Speed, DJ Danjo & Rob Styles, Paul van Dyk, Phynn, Mesh, Shane 54, Mind One, DJ Precision, Sonicvibe and many more. It got voted Future Favourite in Armin’s radio show ‘A State of Trance’ in episode 139 and it‘s featured on some compilations like Trance The Ultimate Collection and A Trip Into Trance 3, mixed by Lange!
Apart from that, Galen has remixed a few tracks, which include a remix for Envio’s track ‘Time To Say Goodbye’, released on A State Of Trance. It got massive support in Armin van Buuren’s show and it also appeared on his mixalbum A State Of Trance 2004. His remix from 'St John vs Locust - Mind Circles' got massive support by Johan Gielen and Mike Shiver. And then there is Bobina – Russian Dream (Passiva Remix), an uplifting trancer which is featured on Bobina’s artist album!
Latest news about this talent: Arizona vs Passiva - Halo (Including a Danjo & Styles Remix) which has been released on the Dedicated imprint of United Recordings is in stores now! It has already got massive support by the likes of Armin van Buuren, Ferry Corsten, Above & Beyond, Precision, M.I.K.E., Thrillseekers, Jon 'O Bir, Blank & Jones, Ron vd Beuken, Signum, Mark Norman and many many more. Galen has also finished his remix for the guys from Varian Music. They signed their track 'Lucas & Beltram - Trust Me' to Anjunabeats, and Galen has made a stunning remix under his Ava Mea alias for the flipside of the vinyl. The remix has already won the webvoting of the favourite track being played on 'Trance Around The World', presented by Above & Beyond. And it looks like it's heading for the first place again in the webvoting of episode #57! The vinyl with the original mix and the Ava Mea Remix will be out in May!
Galen is working on a new track for the summer, with stunning vocals by Elisabeth. They have been working on the track for quite some months now and with great pleasure they can announce that the result is almost there. If you will be checking out Galen live somewhere during this summer, the word 'weak' might just pass by in one of his tracks. Besides this vocal project other tracks and remixes are in the making. And last but not least; Passiva - Don't Leave Us Alone will probably be signed to an UK label.

hahaha passiva, wist het... (tja, wie niet...)

ik kan eigenlijk weinig zeggen over passiva, clouds like heaven vind ik cool, maar de rest heeft mij nooit echt geboeid eigenlijk.

Het was misschien beter geweest om volgend jaar pas een topic over passiva te maken...

(ja sorry, moet toch wat te zeiken hebben )
