Although trance is a large part of what i do (under the alias DJ Phobos), however, this artist page will be my place for other electronic music of a more experimental origin, aimed at libraries particularly, but certainly suitable for easy listening.

www.soundclick.com/djphobosalexswan for my main trance productions
Why this name?
well, its my name... :p
Do you play live?
At the moment i dont, but i plan to do some of this when i get myself an M3. Karma 2 is an essential tool for improving live, which is what most of this music is based on.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
yes
Band History:
Alex Swan began producing electronic music from the age of 13 with the aid of his first X5D synthesiser. After a year he released his first debut CD 'Xtreme Synthesis'. This comprised of mainly ambient electronic and new age tracks, largely experimental in its sound. His style began to evolve over the years, and his home studio grew. He began to become interested in trance after discovering various artists such as armin van buuren and BT. This inspiration also encouraged him to begin djing at the age of 17, which also gave a vital insight into what made a sucessful trance anthem. He has subsequently aimed to produce tracks up to this standard. Technically he has come a long way since, but he has always tried to ensure each and every track is original in its sound and sphere.
Your influences?
Jean michelle jarre, LTJ Bukem, BT, Bassic, a lot of smooth jazz and deep house influences too. My trance influences are less prevalent here
