Tranceology & Sense.FM resident Chris Duncan is back with another brilliant guestmix. Starting of what promises to be an exciting 2009 Chris brings the beautiful progressive trance sound of Black Hole's Andy Duguid to the Sense.Fm airwaves Chris Duncan has been generating alot of buzz with his new radio show here on Sense FM....See why this is an episode you don't want ot miss.
Andy Duguid's career took off in September 2006 when his production "Hypocrisy" was picked up by the mighty Tiësto. The support of the grand elite of DJ's followed soon after that when Hypocrisy gained heavy support during sets of Paul van Dyk and Armin van Burren, after being added to Tiësto's playlist for many consecutive weeks. Being signed to Black Hole after the bidding war that followed, Hypocrisy landed on the 5th spot of the Dutch Dance Charts and simultaneously landed the career of Andy Duguid, instantly establishing a name for him in the almost impregnable forest of producers in the scene as we know it today.
The official follow up "Don't Belong" virtually followed the same path, hailed by the industry as one of the biggest tracks of 2007. Don't Belong initially got signed to one of the biggest compilation series globally, Tiësto's In Search Of Sunrise series, and it didn't take long before Black Hole picked up the single for official release. As a result of his high quality production work, Andy Duguid soon became a frequently asked remixer for numerous prolific artists. Andy remixed for the likes of Tiësto, Johan Gielen, Phynn and Mr. Sam to name a few, which were released on the biggest labels globally such as Maelstrom, Sola Records, Songbird and his current home base, Black Hole Recordings. Next to his Andy Duguid moniker, Andy produces under various successful alter egos such as Reeves, Corsie and Emilio Fernandez, a new and already blossoming collaboration with Iwan de Kuijper. Andy Duguid's debut album "Believe" sees eleven tracks of the highest quality, on which he collaborates with acclaimed producers and vocalists such as Mr. Sam, Julie Thompson, Leah, Alanah, Donna & Anthony, Esmaye, Solarstone and Dutch singer/songwriter I-Fan, who already presented his amazing vocal skills on Funkerman's global hit release "Speed Up". Every individual track on "Believe" showcases the versatility of Andy Duguid musical vision, divided over a 68 minute continuous soundtrack of subtle progressive, seductive trance, fierce electro and pounding house. "Believe" strongly underlines the big talent Andy Duguid is, definitely making him one of the most promising exponents of future music. To quote Andy Duguid: "To live a dream is a dream come true, for those who don't dream don't live". And Andy is living his dream to the fullest.
If his fast paced organic development wasn't enough, Tiësto has now also named Andy Duguid as his producer of 2008 in the November DJ Mag. What a superb accolade for this rising star. Andy is currently producing Julie Thompson's debut artist album for Black Hole, along with numerous exciting projects for games companies and remixes for Global Underground, Trisco and Cosmic Gate. Alongside his productions, his DJing is taking him to every corner of the world; from his supporting role beside Tiësto during the In Search of Sunrise Tour in September (Planet Love, Stadium of Sound Poland, Privilege Ibiza, Antwerp Belgium) and onwards to the Ukraine, Amsterdam, Czech Republic, Slovakia, UK and Indonesia and then to South America where he completed a tour for Dance4Life at the beginning of November. His album "Believe" is out now Black Hole Recordings and the first single release "To the Floor" featuring the stunning vocals of I-Fan officially hit the streets on the 28th of November 2008 with remixes from Magnesia.
