Trance & Dance Music Producer

Sonarm, a Leicester-based Trance music producer (East Midlands, UK), is the alias used to present the Trance music production aspect of the DJ Sonarm guise. As a Trance producer Sonarm finds his inspiration in all forms of music that expresses emotion and reaches out to him on a musically emotional level.

Focusing on power and emotion, Dance music produced by Sonarm is always melodic and moody while incorporating influences from genres such as Electro and Classical and top producers & artists such as DJ Tiësto, Ferry Corsten and Armin, sometimes using unusual techniques to achieve an original sound.

"Being a Trance producer allows me to be more creative as an active musician where I can plan to a great extent what I want to achieve and adjust it until I feel it is right. It can take several months to achieve this but it is my way of expressing myself on an intimate level where I can let my imagination take control."

Sonarm's productions have been compared to productions by other Trance producers such as DJ Tiësto, Push, Ferry Corsten, Kai Tracid, Mirco de Govia and Paul Van Dyk.

The production level of the Dance music produced by Sonarm is always detailed and professional, creating contrasts with crisp percussion, big synths, soft strings and piercing melodies, building up in layers to achieve its height.

Sonarm tries to incorporate ideas from all styles of music he listens to. Some of his tracks carry Electro influences while others sound more Tribal or Techy. Sonarm finds his inspiration everywhere and tries to implement these influences into his music without interfering too much with the intended message. This way his tracks can sound professional but stand out from many other tracks of a similar style also helping Sonarm himself to stand out among many other Trance producers.

Although Sonarm's Dance music productions aren't always strictly branded as Trance music they always contain elements that express emotion in a similar way to Trance music and are arranged in such a way as to portray this emotion effectively. 

Sonarm also produces tracks of an ambient and atmospheric nature as another way to put across emotion in a different sense. 

"I found a whole new mood can be created if you strip away the driving beats and bass and work more on the mood."

Sonarm has progressed to get his music used on Internet adverts and has since been approached by and been interviewed by companies such as expertsonline.tv and MATV.
