Iain Cross is a name that is unanimous with the Hard Trance scene in the UK,
with his sheer energy and dedication to the underground, this young talent
has certainly earned his place as one of the most booked and most loved hard
trance acts in the UK.
From his humble beginnings as a DJ some Eleven years ago, Iain has since
acquired residencies for two of the leading brands of trance & techno,
'Atmosphere' and 'Resonate'. To coincide with this he has also been booked
for a multitude of massive events such as HTID, Raverbaby, Digital Circus,
Q-Dance, Hindsight and numerous others, ensuring that his booking schedule
is full up all year round, playing both the UK and Europe most weekends!
Not content with being just your average run of the mill DJ, Iain has a
wealth of experience in other areas of the Music Industry, and this is
evident with a Curriculum Vitae that documents his 11 years in the industry.
Iain started life as the promotions manager and weekly resident for what was
the hard trance haven the 'Country Club', where the cream of Europe's hard
trance scene would rapidly beg for a return booking immediately after
playing there. The place had a fundamental shaping on the hard trance scene
in the UK and with Iain in charge of promotions; he helped bring the
atmosphere of the club to places where it had not been heard before.
As well as this Iain also has experience as a Director and label manager of
High Fish Recordings, where up until 2005, he released a wealth of cutting
edge hard trance anthems. His knowledge of trance can not be faulted either
and that is why he was assistant manager of the legendary Chunes record shop
and also Promoter of the well received radio show 'Maximum Radio' on DI.FM
(featuring guests such as Scot Project, Wavetraxx and more), which till the
present day he continues! Demonstrating his knowledge of all things trance
led to a position as a reviewer for the prestigious and specialist review ma
gazine TTR, where he reviewed his favourite records every issue.
One area where Iain excels is his work in production, where over the decade,
he has released tracks on a number of the scenes leading labels such as
Future Sound Corporation (as 'The Elite'), De Novo, Bare Cheek and of course
the aforementioned High Fish recordings, which have gone on to massive
success.
Taking everything into account, this is why he is one of the scene's leading
names with an even brighter future ahead; you would be foolish not to book
him!
