Electro-progressive storm. I guess it should really be called 'Take Off' but 'Blast Off' sounds much cooler I think. Hehe.

Big electro-progressive tune. Tough electro beats morph into soaring progressive tune, and back again. Was featured on Carl Cox's 'Global' Radio show.

Latest collaboration with DJ Touch. More mellow and a bit of that classic west-coast house vibe on this one. Check it out!

Not done by any means, but a peek into some new sh***. This one combines minimal and electro sounds for some all out new school goodness.

A deep and soulful instrumental house track. Nice and mellow.

A spacey deep progressive house track getting a bit more on the old-school feeling with the clean synth lines and such... a throwback to the last days of the 20th century with a blissed out yet deep morning hour dancefloor tune.

Jan drops a bit of drum n' bass spaciness on this one as DJ Moyda, his usual hard techno moniker. Look out for DJ Moyda's mix cd 'Moyda You In The Face' out now on Deeptech Sounds.

"Gravity Bomb" would work very well in a club. That wiggly synth-line is unusual and lifts the funky beat to another level. Brilliant.
