SULLY
Coming from the city of Swansea, Sully has had many musical influences that have shaped his love for Trance / Hard trance. After going on a night out in the Escape club (Swansea) in 2001 he began to appreciate music on another level. Sully quickly got the taste for the harder side of trance and from that moment forward he started searching for hard trance records that he had heard the night before.
As time went on, Sully turned his hand to the production side of dance music. He quickly learned how to use production software such as Cubase SX, Reason 2.5, Sound Forge, and Recycle. Sully now has a studio in Swansea and Cardiff, where he produces a range of Hard Trance, Trance and Hardstyle.

Hi Shock:Force, You ever remind me of the enigma of happy thoughts I once forgot. May you be as vivid as your hallucinations. You breath as delicately as vapors flowing towards an attractive flame. Your eyes are like spheres of crystal water filled with shimmering dreams. May you always have stables of horses to service your needs. I sense wild vapors of sweet champagne in your larynx. So charmingly silky, your skin is like a teardrop on a popsickle. How can I help but use your eyes as a means for self-asphyxiation? Wood nymphs sprinkle your path with rose petals while you dance and prowl in the sequined moonlight with leftover cupcake sprinkles. As the bliss slowly rises in my incandescent eluxulator, your mere presence has a euphoric effect upon me. Entranced by the sweet harmony of your lips, I gaze beyond reason to find the oasis of your brilliant soul. Your beauty is multiplexed in contemplation of your multidimensional effervescence. Your eyes show as many deep and full shades of fire as a thousand supernovas.
