Reboot on the "Virtual Sessions" 1/28/21
About Reboot -
At an early age, when most kids are discovering video games and girls, German production wizard Frank Heinrich, aka Reboot, was creating tracks on the studio equipment that he purchased with his small savings.
This precocious talent was nurtured by illicit nights out sneaking in to Sven Väth’s Omen club in Frankfurt, Germany, where Reboot grew up. Despite Reboot’s early indoctrination into tough techno sounds, he draws from a variety musical influences.
As a producer, his approach borrows sounds from all corners of the musical spectrum from classic house, world music, jazz, funk or r&b. Alongside his friends, based around the legendary “Freebase Records” Shop, he spearheaded “the new sound of Frankfurt”. The result is what Reboot calls a “complex polyrhythmic architecture” and what dance floors call “dynamite”.
Reboot has consistently evolved as an artist without ever losing his initial rush of passion that pushed him out of his career in banking and into the arms the of electronic music industry. In a career that has ranged from early collaborations, to his current incarnation as a widely demanded solo artist. He has released classic records on labels such as Cadenza, Cocoon, Defected, SeiEsDrum, Moon Harbour, Circus, Renaissance, Below, Cecille and many many more.
His inquisitive musical nature pushed Reboot to constantly experiment with new sounds and rhythms. This has allowed him to develop into a compelling performer who feels equally at home behind the decks or playing live.
Reboot has joined the ranks of some of the most respected names in the house and techno realm. In addition to his own musical projects, Reboot is involved in the field of artist promotion and development in Frankfurt, as part of the Proton Music production team and as a lecturer in sound synthesis & electronic music production at the SAE Institute Frankfurt.

CHRIS138 on The DJ Sessions presents Attack the Block at the Waterland Arcade 1/26/21
About CHRIS138 -
Chris Roeder, known as CHRIS138. was born and raised in Southern California and made his way up to the PNW in 2015. He first grew a love for trance music listening to Tiesto’s “Elements of Life” album, and since then, his passion has grown from listening to mixing.
Over time, his music taste has diversified and he now mixes anything from Trance, to Melodic House, to Hardstyle, to even Dubstep on occasion. The 138 in his name stands for 138 beats per minute commonly found in trance, as his trance sets contain emotion and energy flowing throughout the mix.
One of his favorite parts about being an artist is interacting with the crowd and conversing with fans. As an avid concert-goer and participant within the electronic dance music scene, he understands and appreciates the fan side and welcomes anyone who wishes to learn more about the music he plays.
Chris strives to grow as an artist and learn more in the industry, providing music and most importantly, happiness, to others.

Jon Cohen on The DJ Sessions presents the Virtual Sessions 1/14/21
About Jon Cohen -
Jon Cohen is a Montreal a musician whose electrifying story songs transport listeners into the dreamlike dance floors of their minds. His soulful tunes are rooted in 90s fuzz-washed art rock, but quickly reach toward the sunshine of hip-shaking electro grooves.
Lorem Ipsum is Cohen’s seventh studio release. Recorded almost entirely using an iPhone, the eight tracks take listeners on an inner journey while simultaneously making you want to dance. The album is a melting pot of early 2000 fuzz electronica, from Bonobo to OK GO, Chemical Brothers to Tame Impala.
Cohen collaborated with Montreal luminaries Sabrina Halde of Groenland, Cellist Justin Wright & Lou Laurence of DJ Champion to name a few. The new album was mixed by audio Guru Steven Chouinard (Le Couleur,) and mastered by Richard Addison (Daniel Bélanger, We are Wolves) This album is truly a community.
Jon Cohen has been described as “...like no one else in the Canadian music scene” (Exclaim!). Cohen has played with many great bands including The Dears, Final Flash, JF Robitaille and more. Under his own moniker, Cohen has toured Canada, USA, UK and Europe, as a solo artist and with band, supporting many noteworthy acts like Rich Aucoin, Dropkick Murphies, Justin Ruthledge, Elephant Stone, Moulettes, Sean Lennon, and playing festivals likeCMW, Pop Montreal, Iceland Airwaves and Sled Island among others. Jon also co-organizes the One Wo/Man Band Festival.
In 2019 the band toured in the UK and eastern Canada in support of their last album, a collection of b-sides entitled 'Songs Only A Mother Could Love'. In 2020 Jon organizes virtual online sessions.

David Morales on The DJ Sessions presents the Virtual Sessions 1/13/21
About David Morales -
David Morales is a globally revered American DJ, a Grammy award-winning record producer, a songwriter, and a businessman. He has produced and remixed over 500 records for an all-star roster of multi-platinum artists, including Mariah Carey, U2, Michael Jackson, Aretha Franklin, Madonna, and Whitney Houston. The global phenomenon and penetration of dance music into Top 40 radio would not have been possible without him.
A native New Yorker, Morales was one of the first superstar DJs to actively tour the world and his activity, over the years, has only increased. Recent 2019 headlining dates include the U.K.’s 51st State Festival; a back-to-back set with Luciano at IMS’ Dalt Villa party; massive five-hour “tag team” sets with Louie Vega; sold-out events at Manchester’s Victoria Warehouse, Avant Gardner in New York, and A Night in Paradise at London’s Ministry of Sound. Coinciding with these dates was Morales’ keynote interview and official party headliner at the Brighton Music Conference, which included a streamed set on the British Airways i360 Tower.
Not one to rest on his laurels, in the midst of this non-stop tour schedule, Morales launched Diridim Records in 2018. With this new label, Morales is signing and developing artists—and naturally, releasing some of his own productions. Diridim celebrates all dance music, from the classic sounds Morales is known for to straight up electronic. Releases in 2019 include the multi-volume “The Red Zone Project,” Izizwe, featuring Shota, and collaborations, “There Must Be Love” and “Freedom” with Janice Robinson. His unquenchable thirst for newness is precisely why this native New Yorker remains relevant. “It is about keeping an open mind,” Morales explains.

Somna on The DJ Sessions presents Attack the Block at the Waterland Arcade 1/12/21
About Somna -
In an ever expanding global electronic music scene with new artists appearing every day, it takes nothing short of raw talent to stand out. As one of Canada's leading Trance artists, Somna holds the #45 spot in the DJTOP100 (TrancePodium 2019) making him the highest Canadian within the top 100. His music can be found on the biggest trance labels in the world including Armada Music, Coldharbour Recordings, Garuda Music, Future Sound Of Egypt, AVA Recordings, Black Hole Recordings and Perfecto. One of few trance artists bypassing over 120,000 monthly listeners on Spotify, Somna's music regularly finds itself on the playlists of Armin Van Buuren, Above & Beyond, Markus Schulz, Ferry Corsten, Gareth Emery, Cosmic Gate, Andy Moor and more.
As a performing artist, Somna fuses together traditional mixing with current technologies in a way that creates an atmosphere for fans into a journey of what trance is truly about. His experiences with prior aliases over the years has led to performances at Global Gathering, Creamfields, Coloursfest, Eden (Ibiza), The Arches (Scotland), LoveFest (USA), and shows across Canada, UK, USA, Japan, Spain, Australia and New Zealand.
Just a peek into support from the world’s top trance DJs includes regular premieres on universally popular podcasts such as A State Of Trance, Group Therapy, Corsten’s Countdown, Global DJ Broadcast and more. Recognition from A-list DJs include Armin Van Buuren, Above & Beyond, Ferry Corsten, Markus Schulz, Paul Van Dyk, Gareth Emery, Andy Moor, TyDi, Lange, Cosmic Gate, Paul Oakenfold, Guiseppe Ottaviani, Heatbeat, Mark Sixma and many more. The abundance of support stands as a true testament to the quality of Somna’s music. As a prolific multi-genre producer and engineer, his track alongside Andy Moor “One Thing About You” featuring Amy Kirkpatrick, reached #1 on Beatport and stayed in the top 10 for three weeks. Adding to Somna’s Beatport success, “One Thing About You” won the 2015 award for the most streamed trance track on Beatport.
2015 and 2016 also saw multiple Somna releases reach the top 10 on Beatport, with tracks featuring the likes of Jennifer Rene & Michele C. To mark Lange Recordings’ 200th release, Somna was invited to team up with Johnny Yono and Monoverse. The result was “Hijackers”, a triple threat labor of love which reached #3 on the Beatport charts. During these years, Somna also made two label debuts (Armada Captivating and Future Sound Of Egypt Excelsior) and joined the trance elite as he had the honor of mixing a 3 disc compilation alongside Andy Moor for AVA Recordings' 10 year anniversary. Coupled by a truly rare triple play on A State Of Trance (episode #791), 2016 was fantastic year for Somna.
His success carried over into 2017 as Somna showed no signs of slowing down. As one of the few trance artists hitting 120k+ monthly listeners on Spotify, Somna has an average monthly listener base of 140,000+ and the yearly collected data showed a staggering 13.4 million plus minutes streamed for his music on the #1 streaming platform.
2018 was a powerhouse year for Somna with a new single on Armada's Captivating label, hitting the landmark 1 million streams for his single "Look Back" on Spotify and debut appearances in Jakarta (Indonesia), Oslo (Norway), Zurich (Switzerland) and Amsterdam (Netherlands).
Showing no signs of slowing down, Somna's 2019 started on a high with a "Progressive Pick" winner on A State Of Trance and with "Razor", signed to Armin Van Buuren's personal label Armind Recordings. 2019 also marked a debut on Gareth Emery's Garuda Recordings with two high energy singles. Continuing upwards, Somna teamed up with HALIENE for "Secret" to critical acclaim, receiving triple plays on A State Of Trance and an official music video. On the performance front, Somna made debut's in Mexico City as well as the prestigious Dreamstate festival main stage in Southern California where he treated fans to world exclusive sneak peeks of his forthcoming artist album. Closing the year with the landmark 300th release from AVA Recordings with his collaboration with Andy Moor, Somna cemented himself in the scene as one of the most exciting trance artists to emerge this decade.
As the label manager, A&R and co-owner of AVA Recordings, Somna continues to make strides while playing an important role within the scene. His monthly radio show entitled “Reanimate Music” broadcasts every second Monday on Afterhours.fm, the #1 trance radio station in the world. 2020 looks nothing short of bright for Somna with exciting new music on A State Of Trance, Garuda Music, Magik Muzik, AVA Recordings and his debut artist album in!

Avian Invasion on The DJ Sessions presents the "Mobile Sessions" 12/31/20
AI used to be just a man, but a very old one. As he grew older, vital functions began to fail: He lost the ability to hope and, with it, the ability to dream. His eyes began to fail, so all he could see was darkness and fear. His hearing faded to a point where every new song only sounded “not as good as music used to be.”
All of this took a toll on his heart, until eventually that too threatened to break.
One day, when it seemed he would finally just wither and turn to dust, he was given a great gift. He was rebuilt, piece by piece… the broken parts replaced, the damaged parts repaired. Now he isn’t entirely a man, but not entirely a machine either.
He is simply Avian Invasion, and all he can see now is hope.
The Bird’s melody-driven, dynamic performances have been showcased at venues like The Underground and Rendezvous in Seattle. Avian Invasion’s debut album launched in 2018 and is available at avianinvasion.com/cots
