   About Des McMahon

Des McMahon is an electronic music producer from Philadelphia, PA. He was raised in a family that was passionate of their music and this was passed down to Des. He first became interested in trance music when he was very young but never admitted it as a guilty pleasure because electronic music was frowned upon in the U.S.

As years passed Des entered high school and no longer cared about what others thought about him, so his taste of music was at a huge variety. Des listened to everything from The Misfits to The Gorillaz to Miles Davis. The next year, Des's long time friend came back from Europe and exposed him to what would become an obsession for Des. Des heard "Adagio for Strings" by Tiesto and from that point trance became Des's passion.

Lately, Des has been working on some tunes that have been receiving good feedback. His first "break through" tune was called "Shogun" a hefty tech trancer that gained support from Will Atkinson and Mac & Taylor. Will liked it so much that he asked to remix it. Upcoming tunes from Des will be follow ups on his tech-trance, but also he has started producing many energetic trance tunes.

Make sure you tune into Des' radio show, "East Coast Energy", every first Sunday at 7PM EST (every first Monday @ Midnight UK time) on 1Mix Radio. You can tune in at http://www.1mix.co.uk

Hello, how are you? :-) I'm knocking on your door cos I've ready in my playet at myspace a... special tune. Well, it's not so special cos there are tons of tracks made with trumpet sounds but, in my case, this has been new for me. I have had the chance to make a colaboration with the great Spanish trumpet player Ramón Berenguer ( www. legran. es ). We both have called this "strange" project Iris Dee Jay & Legran Orchestra (cos Legran is the name of the orchestra Ramón has been playing in) :-) My usual style is trance (well, now moving to house and electro a bit too) so I have made a combination between a classical Spanish style called "pasodoble" (pasodoble dance) and trance-electro music (my usual style). The result of all of this is "Que Viene Legran!" (in English, "Legran Is Coming!") talking about the presentation of Legran Orchestra :-) I don't know if this tune is my best but I'm sure it will be fun for you, specially because of the happy melody that's played by Ramón (the trumpet player, as you know now) :-)
As always, whatever feedback will be welcome. I know maybe this style is a bit hard to understand but, at least, you'll smile for sure (I think) ;-)
Tons of hugs from me to you!

Hello!! How things are going this time?:-) I'm here cos, first, I want to tell you hi and, second, I want to present you my new track 'On The Groove'. Yes, I know, its tittle reminds to the famous dance tune 'On The Move' by Barthezz (what a time!) but it's no exactly the same. Maybe I can rate this tune as tech-trance but I'm not very sure (you know I'm living a mess with styles now) :_( I just wanted to play with rhythms and gro
