| DJ Sets ::Super 8 & Tab (Janne Mikael
Mansnerus & Miika Juhani Eloranta)
Super8 & Tab are the antidote to
anyone who says the trance scene has gone stale. By combining
dark and driving progressive elements with more traditional
melodic trance sounds, the pair have created a unique sound
that has had the worlds A-list DJs clamoring for their music.
Super8 & Tabs ‘Helsinki Scorchin’ is arguably
the biggest instrumental trancer of the year so far its not
often you get a 1000+ crowd singing along to an instrumental
but thats exactly what happened at the recent Anjuna night
in London! and has featured on 15 compilations to date, including
the latest from Tiesto, Above & Beyond and Armin.
The follow-up, ‘Wont Sleep Tonight’ threatens
to be just as good, with Global Undergrounds Ben Lost drafted
in to provide a druggy and Underworldesque vocal backdrop
to the dirty and driving groove.
Before these two monsters and debut collaboration ‘First
Aid’, Super8 & Tab had been building the kind of
production CV that will soon see them being mentioned in the
same breath as the likes of Tiesto, Paul Van Dyk and Above
& Beyond at the pinnacle of the trance scene.
Super8s debut single ‘Alba/Dawn’ is Anjunabeats
biggest selling release to date, and together with the follow-up
‘Cre8’, has featured heavily in the sets of the
worlds top trance jocks over the past few years. Meanwhile,
such is the demand for Super8s latest single, ‘Get Off’,
that Anjunabeats received personal requests for an early copy
from both Tiesto and Armin.
Super8 (aka Miika Eloranta) also forms one half of the mighty
Aalto, alongside Above & Beyonds Paavo Siljamaki. Their
5th single, the massive electro-tinged ‘5’ is
currently tearing up clubland, while the 4 previous Aalto
singles, ‘Liquid Sweep’, ‘Rush’, ‘Taurine’
and Resolution have each become global club anthems in their
own right. Rush in particular blew up so big that the guys
received a personal invite from Paul Van Dyk to perform at
his legendary Casino night in Berlin.
Tab (aka Janne Mansnerus) has also released solo production,
with ‘Unforgiven’ and the ‘Verso/Radiate’
E.P. on Anjunabeats plus his work as AR52 on Joof earning
him many new fans around the world. A technically brilliant
DJ with over 10 years experience as one Finlands top trance
jocks, Tabs understanding of dance floor mechanics has perfectly
complemented Super8s peerless production skills.
The pair have produced their best work together and have
been playing out as a duo with great success, notably at Anjunabeats
hugely popular Anjuna nights which have taken place at venues
such as Turnmills, Canvas Passion and Godskitchen.
Building on the worldwide following for their productions,
Super8 & Tab are now ready to unleash their pioneering
sound on dancefloors around the globe.
