D.N.A (I Love Kiksu, Sunrise) www.urbanevoice.com/heina/zero500dna.JPG Dj D.N.A aka Denis Vakulin has been playing over 10 years now all around the northern hemisphere! He began his career by attending and finally playing and organizing underground parties in famous groups such as Theta. He was sporting free parties everywhere in southern Finland. Then it was time to give few series of clubbing events like Kuohu and Viini in major clubs around Helsinki. He also invented so called Sunday Chill parties - those being the first Sunday clubs running from midday until evening in Finland.
His past gig list contains most of the huge parties and clubs in Finland, such as Hallmark, Labyrinth, Labyrinth Summer Sound System, Pasifique and Laserpoint. Hallmark has actually offered Denis a residency for after parties and those gigs have been highly appreciated. Club residency at Sunrise, liQuid and I Love Kiksu.
Zero500 is the other after party concept by Denis and at the moment he is doing most innovative morning clubs in Finland.
His style moves from progressive to melodic trance with inspiration taken from the live and happy audience. Blending some flavors from breaks and house music and spicing up with some classics and unexpected jewels he manages to make every set a journey to the listener that will not be forgotten. Combining the crowd and the space and his skills it is a quarantined situation to find a memorably event when ever he is playing.

Chris Rijksen (www.etn.fm, Holland) www.urbanevoice.com/heina/chris.JPG
It all started with his musical passion at the end of the 80s, listening to the so called Grandmixes the pioneer of mixing, mister Ben Liebrand. It always fascinated him to let the tracks flow into each other without hearing a single break. Also around the late 80s and the early 90s the house-scene appeared in The Netherlands. By then all the music was just one style and later on that changed into mellow and hardcore. CDs like Houseparty and Turn Up The Bass came into the stores and that was his biggest inspiration to buy records, turntables and a mixer at the age of 15. Also radio shows like For Those Who Like To Groove, Rave Radio and Dance Department had a big influence. From there on it all started with making mix-tapes and CDs for friends and playing at some small local parties.
At around early 2003 he was introduced at the internet radio station ETS Global. He submitted a demo and got offered a weekly show immediately which resulted in his show called Elevations starting in 2004 which is still running. Hes also an administrator for the Trance channel and newborn channel ETN3. Biggest inspirations for playing music are definitely A State Of Trance with Armin van Buuren since 2001 and Global DJ Broadcast with Markus Schulz since half 2002. Chris style nowadays is everything from Progressive to Trance.
Since 2004 he has played in Belgium two times, Scotland and with upcoming gigs in Finland in April and May it just started for him.
