Summer is almost finished, but the music is staying hot! September's episode of Volumize will feature two new guests to the show: DENNIS CRUZ and LADY BASS!
DENNIS CRUZ:
This native of Madrid made his debut in November 2010. Since then, he has made a name for himself as one of the most talented Spanish artists on stage today. He has made an impact on the International scene following with his 100 tracks list. His work is rapidly catching on and renowned DJs are including his tracks in their sets. This list includes DJs such as Marco Carola, Roger Sanchez, Umek, Nic Fanciulli, Stefano Noferini, Joseph Capriati, Los Suruba, Timo Maas and Chistian Smith, to name a few.
He has performed in festivals, such as the Electrobeach Festival, and in clubs as important as Reverse, Groove Dance Club, Miniclub, Maxime, Bo Karoo, Taboo, Pirandello, Grial Ibiza, Blackout, Spectro, Marios, Paladium, Casanova Ibiza, Yassta and Ibiza TheBoat, among many others.
Despite his modest experience as a music producer, he has already worked for a number of record labels, such as Saved, Deeperfect, Nervous, Suruba X, Insert Coin, Natura Viva, Patent Skillz, Almibar, Jekos Music, Vamos and Ole Music. After much thought, he made a concerted effort to set up his own label. His efforts bore fruit and he founded Lemon-Aid Music.
In his own words, Dennis describes his style as "...deep-tech and techno...", and his mixsets as "...booming beats and melodies with a deft touch of dub, always aiming to work the crowd and radiate positive energy." He tries to make his presence felt and leave his mark on every stage he performs.

TIM PENNER:
Canadian born Tim Penner's decade-long experience working in the electronic music industry has afforded him a unique perspective on the production process. Driven by a passion to derive innovative sounds from the manipulation of frequencies, Penner has been able to generate a unique style loosely based upon the blending of themes inherent in the techno, house and trance arenas. Genre-defying in its classification, his work has graced a host of leading record labels and regularly supported by such luminaries as Hernan Cattaneo, Nick Warren, Above & Beyond, Guy J, and Matt Darey. Furthermore, a clutch of production credits can be found upon the Konstrukt imprint, run alongside Brazilian supremo, DNYO. In tandem, the duo has formed a highly impressive roster and release schedule.
With a successful hand in the electronic music industry, Tim also balances his skills with music designed for the TV, film, and video game industry. He specializes in wide atmospheric sounds, epic percussive builds, and intense ochestral soundscapes. His music takes on magnificent and unique shape to create extraordinarily imaginative pieces that, when paired with the right visual element, will captivate audiences beyond words.
“We’re in an era beyond simply making songs. We’re venturing into a brand new world of true audio manipulation. Music is made of frequencies that create the soundtrack to our lives. If you can harness this concept through technology, you can innovate rather than imitate." -Tim

May 15th 2015:
Volumize returns on June 7th with more deep, dark, and dirty beats to keep your summer sizzling! This month features the mixing talents of Paul David and Ryan Lamont!
PAUL DAVID:
For Paul David, being born in Scotland and emigrating to Windsor, Canada has certain advantages if you are an electronic music producer.
First, Windsor has the unique feature of being situated just two minutes by car from Detroit, Michigan, the city where one of electronic music's most important movements began and the sounds of seminal techno music broadcast from Detroit radio stations were easily received by those who lived in Windsor.
Meanwhile, Paul David's cousin back in Scotland was sending him a steady stream of mixtapes from the rich UK underground music scene.
Moving to Toronto after university, Paul began to release electronic music under the name Sudden and performing as a Live PA which led to him opening for techno legends Orbital and invitations to play at festivals like Detroit's Movement from Carl Craig, WEMF and Toronto's Edgefest, where he mixed beats to a huge crowd of astonished Nickleback fans.
Later, Paul released two albums of 8-bit electronic music under the name "Le Bus"; stripped down songs with abstract yet catchy vocals. One of the albums CBC Radio declared "..could easily be one of the best electronic albums of the year!". This project made massive impact on Canadian college radio, gaining top tens in most Canadian cities.
In 2009, Paul David turned his musical attention to producing House and Electro, but always with one foot in his musical roots. It was then, along with fellow Toronto producer Barletta, that Paul co-founded the Burner Records label.
With releases on Cr2, Pukka Up and his own Burner Records, Paul's original productions and remixes have turned heads in the global dance music scene, receiving enthusiastic support from outlets such as Mixmag, the DMC Buzzchart, Earmilk, Hypemachine and world-renowned DJ's like Chuckie, Sebastian Ingrosso, Carl Craig, Sander Kleinenberg, Markus Schulz and BBC Radio 1 Dj Kissy Sell Out as well as numerous Beatport chartings.
Paul David's latest EP "To The Rhythm" was released April 10th, 2015.

RYAN LAMONT:
Like many artists of his generation, the origin of Ryan Lamont’s style as a DJ and producer can be traced back to his exposure to the creatively fertile ground that was the Toronto warehouse party and rave scene of the mid to late 1990s. Incredibly moved by his first encounters with the culture and deeply inspired by the creative possibilities of electronic music in general, it wasn’t long before Ryan found himself behind decks dabbling with the sounds of progressive trance,U.K Hard House and Breaks. Within a few short years, however Ryan’s style made of notable shift, gradually becoming more influenced by Toronto, Ontario’s flourishing, yet relatively unknown, Techno scene and maturing into the deeper and darker and driving sound he is most commonly known for today. His sly mixing and intuitive approach to track selection started generating a powerful response from dance floors, and it wasn't long before the serious gurus started to take notice. At the ripe young age of 21 he got his first major break DJing for Dose productions, and from there things only seemed to go up. By 2001 Ryan was already being booked at several highly esteemed clubs in Toronto such as Turbo and System SoundBar, and became a veritable household name in Ontario’s techno community, occupying several spots at such venues as Space, D2, Felicity’s and The Purple Room. Soon enough he took on the world, playing at several premier events in Greece, Ukraine, England, Germany and the United States.

PAUL DAVID:
For Paul David, being born in Scotland and emigrating to Windsor, Canada has certain advantages if you are an electronic music producer.
First, Windsor has the unique feature of being situated just two minutes by car from Detroit, Michigan, the city where one of electronic music's most important movements began and the sounds of seminal techno music broadcast from Detroit radio stations were easily received by those who lived in Windsor.
Meanwhile, Paul David's cousin back in Scotland was sending him a steady stream of mixtapes from the rich UK underground music scene.
Moving to Toronto after university, Paul began to release electronic music under the name Sudden and performing as a Live PA which led to him opening for techno legends Orbital and invitations to play at festivals like Detroit's Movement from Carl Craig, WEMF and Toronto's Edgefest, where he mixed beats to a huge crowd of astonished Nickleback fans.
Later, Paul released two albums of 8-bit electronic music under the name "Le Bus"; stripped down songs with abstract yet catchy vocals. One of the albums CBC Radio declared "..could easily be one of the best electronic albums of the year!". This project made massive impact on Canadian college radio, gaining top tens in most Canadian cities.
In 2009, Paul David turned his musical attention to producing House and Electro, but always with one foot in his musical roots. It was then, along with fellow Toronto producer Barletta, that Paul co-founded the Burner Records label.
With releases on Cr2, Pukka Up and his own Burner Records, Paul's original productions and remixes have turned heads in the global dance music scene, receiving enthusiastic support from outlets such as Mixmag, the DMC Buzzchart, Earmilk, Hypemachine and world-renowned DJ's like Chuckie, Sebastian Ingrosso, Carl Craig, Sander Kleinenberg, Markus Schulz and BBC Radio 1 Dj Kissy Sell Out as well as numerous Beatport chartings.
Paul David's latest EP "To The Rhythm" was released April 10th, 2015.

RYAN LAMONT:
Like many artists of his generation, the origin of Ryan Lamont’s style as a DJ and producer can be traced back to his exposure to the creatively fertile ground that was the Toronto warehouse party and rave scene of the mid to late 1990s. Incredibly moved by his first encounters with the culture and deeply inspired by the creative possibilities of electronic music in general, it wasn’t long before Ryan found himself behind decks dabbling with the sounds of progressive trance,U.K Hard House and Breaks. Within a few short years, however Ryan’s style made of notable shift, gradually becoming more influenced by Toronto, Ontario’s flourishing, yet relatively unknown, Techno scene and maturing into the deeper and darker and driving sound he is most commonly known for today. His sly mixing and intuitive approach to track selection started generating a powerful response from dance floors, and it wasn't long before the serious gurus started to take notice.

ELAN MYLES:
In the past few years, up and coming Artist Elan Myles has created a big mark in the electronic music scene. His ability to mix progressive house, techno and tech-house into unique vibes hasn’t gone unrecognized with DJ’s such as Roger Sanchez and John Acquaviva supporting his tracks.
Starting to produce at the age of 17, he has perfected his craft in creating melodic sounds infused with unique stabs and chords. His tracks are best known for their versatility, as he uses original instruments in the breakdowns and switches it up with rougher low bass lines and techno vibe drops.
As a DJ, Elan Myles is acclaimed for his unique style of mixing when playing live. He mashups tracks live, creating a personal remake of every song for people to experience in the moment – never replicated.
In the upcoming year he was signed to a number of labels including, Plasmapool, Incorrect Music, Beat Therapy, Sea to Sun and many more. Same labels whose artists include Anthony Attalla, Lutzenkirchen, Three Sixty, Phunk Investigation, Dirty Rich, Miles Dyson, Mord Fustang, Adam K & Soha, ADDY, D-Unity, Umak, Danny Tenaglia, Matteo DiMarr, D-Formation and many more.
Elan Myles was featured on the cover of Futureale Magazine as artist of the month, with his third single House Agenda becoming an ultimate hit across radio stations in UK and Germany, and ranking as one of the top 100 downloads on Beatport. That year also marked the kickoff of his highly successful podcast Beats in Motion, which ranked #52 most downloaded electronic music podcasts in the world on iTunes. Listened to by fans all over the world, BiM features different music each episode and has become a platform for DJ’s including Elan Myles himself, to showcase their musical expertise while staying true to their style – it’s all about the talent. Each month it features a mashup portion of his favorite tracks mixing the first half, while the second half hosts a guest DJ. BiM has featured a number of famous artists such as Manuel De La Mare, Three Sixty, D-Unity, Danny Nightingale, MC Flipside, Sonny Wharton, Tone Depth, Anthony Attalla and many more talented artists and friends.
Internationally on demand, Elan Myles has been featured on UK’s Amber Sound Radio’s Ibiza House Party hosted by Danny Nightingale, as well as on Manchester’s Global Underground Radio, DI.FM, and Frisky Radio. His tracks have been released for various compilations such as 12.inch.recordings Progressions Vol.1, Big Bass Heroes 2, Ibiza Beach Bass by Selected Records, Incorrect Music Basis VI collection, Beat Therapy Vol. 2 and DNCTRX Rhythm & Juice and many more.
