Jonas
Steur has become a
familiar name in the trance scene the last few years. With several
big hits like “Tales
from the south”,
“Castamara”
, “Second turn”
and “Fall to
pieces” , just to
name a few , and remixes for all the major labels in the trance
scene, he did his part for the melodic yet progressive minded side
of trance. He's allergic to supersaws and minute long snare rolls and
doesn't shy away from playing techno and house in his sets nowadays.
"Trance
is able to get rid of it's lousy image if the diversification which
is noticable right now keeps going on. With techno , trance and house
growing closer to each other again it looks like the future will
bring a time where the thinking in boxes which destroys the edm scene
nowadays finally stops. Trance can be anything from tribal beats to
minimal bleeps, melodic bliss and deep dark moody grooves"
according to Jonas.
Playing all arround
Europe Jonas keeps on sharpening his dj skills and entertains the
crowds with diverse sets featuring trance in the broadest sense of
the word. 2006 especially was a breaktrough year with Jonas playing
on several very high profile events like asot
250, tomorrowland
and lots of both huge and intimate gigs all over the continent.
Entering at a 130th place in the controversial dj mag list at the end
of 2006 proved that the buzz was and still is growing.
2007 is the year
where Jonas took the next step: His first artist album 'Born
for the night' was
released and Jonas showed that he is more than just the 'melody man'
delivering a very versatile 2cd package. Both singles took from the
album made an impact, 'Level
up' on the dancefloors
and 'Fall to pieces'
with Jennifer Rene
just about anywhere the trance scene reaches.
In 2008 Jonas
continues searching for the perfect balance between floor impact and
melodic elements resulting in a steady stream of new singles , for
example ' The night is
young' with Leon
Bolier , 'Call
it whatever you fancy'
and planned for september : 'Cold
winds' featuring Julie
Thompson.
This is also the
year where he finally starts his own monthly show : 'breakout',
together with his younger brother Simon
Steur .
No slowing down,
Jonas feels this is still the beginning...
