It all began one rainy day in 2002, when Jannis Kantsaporidis, born 1985, and Bjorn Hodel, born 1986, both got introduced to the program Fruity Loops. Music had always been a part of their life in one way or another, but now they finally would be able to express themselves through the music they loved. Both having the musical experience at an early age as a drummer (Jannis) and a guitarist (Bjorn), they noticed how drawn they got to the melodic sound of trance. So they started producing on their own, trying to create their own unique sound.2004 was the year when they turned their hands and ears towards the dj scene by buying a pioneer set (CDJ 300/DJM 100). Spending countless of hours behind the decks, while at the same time improving their producing skills, was to be a good choice for them.After the purchase of the Pioneer set Bjorn decided to pursue a life as a dj and putting more effort into it, whilst Jannis continued producing. Bjorn got his break when he got his own 2 h radio show called “Vision 33†on Party 107 where he could drop his amazing selection of energetic sounds. In his hometown Stockholm he got the chance not only once, but twice, to play for Sweden’s biggest trance club, Monday Bar. And while Bjorn was busy djing, Jannis was instead dropping banging tunes for Hodel’s sets under his tech alias “Onomaâ€. This proved to be an excellent possibility for Jannis to see how the crowd reacted to his beats.Finally in late 2007, they both came to the conclusion to put their minds together under the newly formed alias Foundry. After having Bjorn teaming up with melodic trance producer Digitalis and becoming his A&R of the new trance label “Tranceflo Recordsâ€, the perfect chance for Foundry was inevitable. Having gathered the experience needed, Foundry will be unloading their sound, filled with pure uplifting melodies.
