B.VISS /// Born and bred in what is said to be one of the world’s most influential dance cities, B.Viss is a regular name on Manchester's biggest Trance night’s books. What sets him apart from the rest is his energy and enthusiasm for the scene and this is no more evident than in his sets.

B.Viss started off clubbing in 2000 at clubs such as Cream, GoodGreef, Sin:ergy and Bugged Out. Clubbing was his religion back then and when everybody stayed local to venture out, B.Viss searched and travelled the UK for hedonistic nights such as Gatecrasher, Godskitchen and Sundissential that he knows now will be hard to beat, but the memories will always be with him.

What started off as just a hobby soon became an obsession, as he learnt the art and perfection of djing. Residencies at hard dance club Sin:ergy and trance clubs Native and Out of the Blue were soon offered and with both hands these opportunities were grasped. This led to appearances for GoodGreef, Sundissential and more recently the new Manchester Trance night Rong.

B.Viss has treasured the fact that he has been on the same bill as Giuseppe Ottaviani, Eddie Halliwell, Aly & Fila, Simon Patterson, Rank 1... He is looking forward to playing with and supporting many more.

B.Viss’s rise in Manchester has led to several sets in the dance music Mecca that is Ibiza. The destination he made his annual pilgrimage to became the altar and stage for him to communicate to the masses with his uplifting, bass driving sets, which were more than well received. Notably Tiesto and Judgement Sunday preparties. Two of the most sought after parties for up and coming djs. Added to this were very special three hour sets at the world famous Ibiza rocks hotel during peak season 2010. Keep an eye on Ibiza 2011, which is sure to be even bigger and better than the last.

B.Viss has set his sights on his own production and this is currently work in progress for a man who seems to have no boundaries.

A statement of intent with the above is the desire and commitment to start his own night, Anthematics. 10 years in the clubbing industry as a dedicated clubber and DJ, he is using everything he knows to give what the public want - quality and value for money.

So 2011 is promising to be the biggest and best yet for B.Viss. Gigs confirmed, the start of his own night and production in the pipeline.

JAMES RIGBY /// is a name that has swiftly sewn itself into the North West trance scene over the past couple of years. Founder and co-promoter of Manchester trance night Rong; he has made a firm impression both on and off the dance floor.

Sparking a passion for music from an early age and spending much of his teenage years clocking-up the bedroom hours mastering the decks; his diligent attitude coupled with perfectionist traits have seen his offerings flourish so far – with a lot more still to come!

After forging an instant love affair with the trance scene as a clubber, his musical direction was grasped, moulding an astounding appreciation for the diversity of the music and its contribution to the world of electronic dance. James’s enthusiasm for the genre soon translated beyond his love for the decks, igniting a self-initiated vision in the process...

Being a regular clubber and therefore a true pragmatist about the scene, he recognised the lack of opportunity for aspiring DJs, particularly with the decline in smaller trance nights. Not being one to sit back quietly, this sparked the vision to start up a night. This was dedicated purely to the love of the music, as well as providing precious opportunity for DJs like himself to play the music they love. After a few conscientious months of mastering the plan, the vision soon became a reality and Rong Manchester was born!

Since then James has become a regular name in and around the Manchester & northern club scene notching up some impressive gigs for renowned brands such as GODSKITCHEN, GARUDA, GOODGREEF, FIRE IT UP, OFF THE RAILS & THE WAREHOUSE PROJECT; as well as regularly appearing on the bill & even headlining at smaller underground nights.

A keen amorist of the technical art of DJing, never being afriad to evolve with the latest technology and push performance boundaries to enhance the quality of the DJ experience; James has showcased his ability as a highly technical and creative performer who is always raising his game.

His skill, versatility and presence behind the decks has seen him grace some of the North West’s most prestigious venues; including Sankeys Bassment, Spektrum, the infamous Store Street, 53 Degrees, Plug Sheffield, Area 51 and Venus the Club. In doing so he’s also had the opportunity to play alongside an impressive selection of the trance elite such as; Sander Van Doorn, Marco v, Richard Durand, Aly and Fila, Giuseppe Ottaviani, Rank 1, Simon Patterson, Menno de Jong, Judge Jules, Bryan Kearney, Claudia Cazacu, Jordan Suckley, John Askew, Mark Sherry & Activa; to name a few. A true example of how hard work and persistence can make a vision become a reality; James Rigby has a lot more to come...and we’ll be sure to know about it when it does!
