The Start:
Up until 2005 Miika & Janne were busy pursuing their own individually successful recording careers. The pair met through friends and ended up recording at the same studio complex. Talk soon turned to collaborations and in the blink of an eye the single ‘First Aid’ was born. The follow up, ‘Helsinki Scorchin’ came together even quicker and cemented what has now become a prolific partnership. In Tab’s own words: “creating music became double the fun as a partnership. We worked really well outside of the studio too, which was vital as we began traveling and DJing a lot together.” Alongside the ever-present melodic bias of their music, Super8 & Tab fuse their productions with unique, edgy and against-trance-type sounds and vocals. This style has marked them out as forward-thinking originators and pushed them to the front of the about-to-break trance pack. The list of DJs who support their tracks reads like the veritable ‘who’s who’ of the turntable-spinning elite. Release in, release out, Tiësto, Armin van Buuren, PVD, Above & Beyond & Ferry Corsten regularly smash their tracks club-side and on their respective radio shows.
The Singles:
Released through leading trance imprint Anjunabeats, their first singles ‘First Aid’, ‘Helsinki Scorchin’ (A Top 20 Tune of 2006 in DJ Magazine) & ‘Won’t Sleep Tonight’ set radio play-lists alight. Spurred on by the successes, they released vocal anthem ‘Needs to Feel’ in early 2007, which was heavily rotated on Radio 1’s Eddie Halliwell, Judge Jules and Dave Pearce shows. It subsequently went on to appear on the year’s highly-regarded ‘Trance Energy’, ‘Cream Ibiza’, ‘Godskitchen Electric’, ‘Judgement Sundays’ & ‘ITWT’ compilations. ‘Suru’, which followed it in the middle of 07, was remixed by Martin Roth and picked out by DJ Magazine as “the tent-pole release of Anjuna’s summer”. Their first extended collaboration, the ‘Worldwide’ single (with fellow Anjuna-ite Mark Pledger) finished up the year. The second quarter of 2008 will see them unleash their sixth single, the much anticipated ‘Elektra’.
The DJs:
Already accomplished Deck practitioners in their own right, Super8 & Tab wasted no time in personally taking their music to the people. UK super-clubs like Ministry of Sound, Godskitchen, The Gallery, and PaSSion have all felt the force to their idiosyncratic Scando-trance sound. Internationally they have been the resident headliners on the acclaimed Anjunabeats Worldwide Tours and have spun in Romania, Holland, Russia & Germany. They also maintain a monthly residency at Hallmark, in their native Finland. In 2007 they entered DJ Magazine’s top 100 DJs poll at 127.
The Future:
Miika and Janne are currently working on their debut artist album, scheduled at time of writing for release in the first quarter, 2009.
