'The First Lady of Trance' - DJ Mag - May 2008
Sophie Sugar is one of the shining stars of the UK trance scene. An established international DJ in her own right and now making waves around the world as a talented and exciting new producer, it is easy to see where this young lady is heading in 2008.
Sophie was always a music lover - playing the piano for 8 years and collecting records from the tender age of 6! In her teens, she became involved in the club scene and fell in love with trance music. After experimenting with mixing she realised she was hooked and in 1999 began DJing.
Over the next few years Sophie spent time developing her own sound, playing across the UK and in Ibiza, and in 2004 was delighted to win the prestigious Gallery/DJ Magazine DJ competition.
In 2004, Sophie began developing her production skills and throughout 2005 and 2006 released the hugely successful tracks 'Call of Tomorrow' and ‘Isis’, both of which received support from many of the world's top DJs including Paul Van Dyk and Armin Van Buuren.
In 2006, Sophie's career went from strength to strength. After being nominated by Mixmag for the Trance Awards, she spent the year playing to a growing worldwide fan base with events in Canada, Morocco, Abu Dhabi, China, Europe and leading UK nights such as the Gallery, Serious and Passion.
In 2007, 'Fallen Too Far' became a worldwide smash hit after being signed to Armin Van Buuren’s trance label Armada. The track received heavy support from the world’s A list trance DJs and was featured in top 10 download charts on numerous dance music download websites.
This was followed with 'Day Seven', which Armin chose to feature on ‘A State of Trance 2007’, 'Sense of Connection' and Sophie’s very own interpretation of the Art of Trance anthem 'Madagascar'. All tracks were hugely successful, further enhancing Sophie's reputation as an exciting new producer with djs and fans worldwide.
As a DJ, Sophie continued to spread her melodic sounds across the world, travelling to many new countries including an incredible 10 date tour of Indonesia. She received continued support from the dance music press throughout the year including being featured as One To Watch by Mixmag.
In 2008, Sophie's name looks set to rocket with events already confirmed around the world including Germany, Dubai, The Czech Republic, the USA, Australia and New Zealand. Look out for several new productions including Sophie’s incredible new track, ‘Redemption’, which is already being supported by Armin Van Buuren and causing waves in trance circles across the world.
With her own distinct brand of driving, uplifting trance, both in her productions and DJ sets, it's clear to see where this young lady is heading.
