My name is Jannick Andersen, and I am a 25 year old DJ from Denmark, also known under the alias pr0fane.
I have been a DJ since 2002, and an Iboga Records label DJ since last winter, but electronic music already caught my interest back in the 80's, and I fell in love with psychedelic trance in 1997. I am a very dedicated and passionate at what I do, and I consider DJ'ing both an art form and a serious technical craft. That is why I try to constantly test my boundaries and always try to explore new sounds, without of course loosing the feel for the nostalgic and emotional - good music never gets out of style.
As a representative for Iboga my musical repertoire of course includes the latest and freshest progressive psychedelic trance, but I also have a love for more house-influenced sounds: from emotional and trance-influenced melodic progressive to phat electro house or deep, hypnotic minimal or tech house. At the right time and setting, I also like to play full on morning sounds, and I also very much enjoy chillout and downbeat-sets, as I see them as both very challenging and independent of the boundaries of the dancefloor.
I take an honour in never limiting myself to just one particular sub-sub-sub-genre of music: to me, a good set should not only be about playing 20 similar-sounding dancefloor "killers" in a row - it should be a journey: evolving, influencing the listener and moving through different emotions and soundscapes, dependant on the setting, time and crowd. That is my main motivation to keep on playing - to create and be a part of those magic moments on the dancefloor where you just surrender to the music, and let it lead the way.
Over the years I have played at some of the best clubs and venues all over Denmark, plus in countries like England, Turkey and Germany. This for instance includes these festivals:
• Scandinavian Electronic Music Festival 2004, Denmark
• Middle Earth Festival 2005 & 2007, Denmark
• Soulclipse Total Solar Eclipse Festival 2006, Turkey
• :in:deep:an:dance: Festival 2006, Germany
• Naked Festival 2006, Germany
Apart from DJ'ing, I have also written many articles and reviews for different offline and online-media on the scene, such as Chaishop.com, Trancers Guide To The Galaxy and Progressivetunes.com Magazine.
Last winter I joined the Danish label Iboga Records as an official label DJ. As you probably know, Iboga Records is one of the leading forces in the progressive psychedelic scene over the last decade, with over 90 releases, including albums by artists like FREq, Antix, Liquid Soul, Beat Bizarre, Reefer Decree, Perfect Stranger and many more.
2007 was one of the biggest year so far from Iboga, including albums by artists like Ace Ventura, Gaudium, SunControlSpecies and Antix, and there has already been planned a long list of promising releases for 2008.
