for the next installment of Connected we bring Rob Stevenson aka Activa and Gary Proud north of the border.

Activa

In a relatively short time since his first release on Somatic Sense, Rob Stevenson, better known as Activa, has been one of the most hard working producers in the Trance genre. He has created many new alias’ such as Solar Movement, Mekk, Substate, Force One, Aira Force, CMR and Eluna to showcase the range of his production skills, while continuously developing the sound of his main Activa alias.

Rob has appeared on the likes of Spinnin (Liquid), Discover, High Contrast, Black Hole, Enhanced, Somatic Sense and finally Paul van Dyk’s mighty Vandit Records which has enabled him to push his way into the record boxes of the biggest names in the industry and receive their continuous support.

As an engineer Rob has worked closely with Jon O’Bir to create Jon’s first artist album, From Within and has engineered and produced, singles and remixes for Jon, Aled Mann (Discover), Owen Clark (Club Elite), Freesoup (Five AM), Chris & Matt Kidd (Joyride) and David Newsum (Discover), clearly showing the range and diversity of Rob’s production skills.

Although he is primarily known as a producer, Rob has been DJing since his first experience with a pair of turntables while at school. He has gone on to play at the biggest nights in the UK including Gatecrasher and Passion and regularly travels the UK and often abroad to perform. He is a bi-monthly resident at easily the best and fastest growing night in the UK, Digital Society, where his late sets have become a popular part of the night showcasing the harder side of his style.

If that wasn’t enough, Rob also owns and runs Conspiracy Recordings along with Jon O’Bir and Kev Ribbens. The label, which has grown rapidly in the first few years, has had massive support from the biggest names in the industry including regular appearances on Armin’s ASOT, Above & Beyond’s TATW, VONYC Sessions, Sound garden as well as Radio 1 and various other FM radio support. The label has developed a reputation of showcasing brand new music from new artists, has helped kick start the careers of Tom Colontonio, Anguilla Project and Peter Martijn Wijnea, as well as releasing tracks from more well known artists like Ian Betts, Dan Stone and Peter Dafnous.

"Rob’s productions as Activa and Mekk are just incredible. Certainly in a league of their own, they stand out a mile from a sea of tunes that all sound the same. Is it a surprise labels like Discover, Spinnin and Vandit are gagging to sign as much of his stuff as possible? No, it’s no surprise at all.” – John Askew

Gary proud

Aged just 23 Gary Proud is one of the best up and coming DJs in the North East. With a residency at Goodgreef’s little sister night, Junior:G under his belt, Gary is fast growing a fan base. His ability to cross from a funky warm up to full throttle tech trance, his style never fails to impress! Gary is rated by the likes of Eddie Halliwell on a regular basis and is a proven firm favourite by Goodgreef. As well as his Junior:G residency Gary has played in Poland on numerous occasions, sparking nothing but positive feedback. Gary has also played at some of the most popular nights the Length & Breadth of the Country alongside the likes of John Askew, Greg Downey, Sean Tyas, Menno De Jong, John O'Callaghan, Jon O'Bir, Riley & Durrant, Adam Sheridan, Aly & Fila, Mark Norman, Marc Van Linden, Fred Baker, Mac Zimms & Simon Patterson to name but a few, improving his profile even more. 2008 is set to be Gary’s best year yet, with gig offers getting bigger and better.
