Without you near... (13th of November 2008) Guys and girls, hope you'r doing well, and that you are having warmer weather than I'm having here in Denmark - it's freezing! None the less, it's been giving me more studiotime, which resulted in yet a new remix, this time for no one less than the worlds newly voted number 9; Mr. Markus Schulz! Earlier this year my remix of Johan Gielen's 2006 smasher, Physical Overdrive, was released, and once again I've had the oputunity to put my hands on an old favorite, this time the 2005 collaboration of Markus Schulz, Departure and Gabriel & Dresden, called Without You Near (included on the album with the same titel). If things goes well, it should be at your favorite digital record pusher in early 2009, released through Markus' own Coldharbour label. Further more, I'm seeking... hmm... Somewhat classy, and somewhat trashy tunes for an upcoming compilation - more news on that soon! An update (finally!) (The 26th of October) Auch! Nearly 5 months without an update - shame on me!! Nonetheless, here is a new one. I've previously told you guys (and girls) about the remix of Bakke & Ljungqvist - Envision, that I did with my danish mate, Simon Gain. That remix has just been picked up by Will Holland for the upcoming "Digitally Enhanced vol. 2" mixcompilation. The release is set for early November, so keep an eye on CDJShop.com, or what else your favorite recordpusher is. Speaking of remixes, I just finnished a remix for the very popular danish alternative-pop-rock-band, Moi Caprice. The track is called "Wish You Were Her", and has already been aired on national (danish) radio - which is most likely the first "trance" tune to be played there for about 5 years - not bad! Preview is online on my MySpace page (click the logo below). Besides of being busy in the studio, I joined the fine people over at Vonyc radio for a monthly show. The show - with the very original title; Kris O'Neils Vonyc Sessions - is aired the 4th monday of each month at 6PM CET. Last month my italian mates from Dyor visited as guestmixers, and next episode will be visited by the Kandiman (Daniel Kandi, if anyone should be in doubt). Last but not least, I'm currently picking tracks together for yet a new compilation - this time to be released on a major US label - stay tuned for more info :-) Update (The 10th of June 2008) It's been a while since my last update, so let's get started! My debut mix compilation hit the danish market 3 weeks ago, and is doing quite well on various salescharts, which is amazing. It's always been one of my biggest priorities to mix a compilation, and I'm thrilled I finally had the chance. The tracklist can be seen in "Releases -» Mix compilations". Productionwise I've been rather busy in the studio lately, doing both remixes and solo tracks. Much of the stuff is only needing the last touch as we speak - including a remix for one of the biggest DJs in the world, flirting around the Top 10 position in the DJ Mag poll. Another amazing deal just came my way as well, but I will keep that for myself sometime yet :-) Something I've really been waiting for - ever since I got home from last years season - is Ibiza! In less than a month I'll pack my bags to visit the amazing island for the 4th year in a row. It's still now confirmed however you will be able to see me spinning, but you will definately find me with a drink! Yet another remix (31st of March 2008) I've been rather busy remixing in the studio lately. On of the tunes you can expect in the near future, is the Kris O'Neil & Simon Gain remix of Bakke & Ljungqvist - Envision, which was finnished and approved as recent as yesterday, will be the second remix from Kris O'Neil on the respected UK label Enhanced Progressive. More info about the remix will follow shortly. Remixing Johan Gielen (8th of March 2008) Ok, so, I've been talking about an upcoming remix for quite some while now, and as Tiësto played it in his radioshow last week, I think I dare to tell you guys and girls more about it. My next remix will be for a guy, that I dare to call a legend in trance; Johan Gielen! It will be a 2008 remix of his 2006 release "Physical Overdrive", that I played in pretty much every live set back then. It was therefore an incredible honor, getting the possibility to remix it, and get it released on Johan's own label; "Tunes For You". I don't know the releasedate yet, but I cross fingers it will be available on Beatport etc. asap. Full title: Johan Gielen - Physical Overdrive (Kris O'Neil 2008 Remix) [Tunes For You] The 16th most popular scandinavian DJ 2008 (3rd of February 2008) The 2nd of February the new Top 100 of the most popular scandinavian DJ was announced. Kris O'Neil entered the list as #16, and even though its one place down from last years #15, we still concider it a great spot. A big shout goes out to everyone who voted - thank you so much! Kris O'Neil joins NRJ Denmark (23nd of January 2008) If you live in Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Finland, Ukraine, Russia, Germany, Belgium, France, Lebanon, Austria, Switzerland or Bulgaria, you might be familiar with Radio NRJ, one of Europes biggest radionetworks. From the first of February, Kris O'Neil will join NRJ Denmark, for the extremely popular radioshow, Extravadance. Furthermore Kris got the oputunity to mix the next CD in the Extravadance series, which will be available in April. The show will be aired every Saturday from 6PM and untill midnight, CET. Kris will be on air from 9PM. Better late than never... (20th of December 2007) First of all, welcome back! Second of all - when I took down my website nearly 8 months ago, I certainly did not expect it to take such a long time to get up the new version. Anyway, here it is, and I think it turned out amazing - hope you'll like it as well. A lot of stuff happened during the downtime of my website. I've been busy in the studio like never before, and finnished a lot of remixes, as well as solo productions. My collabroation with Niklas Harding, called "Saturn" got signed to Andy Moor's "Ava Blue" label, which is truly an honor being signed by such an icon. Furthermore I remixed Aly & Fila vs FKN feat. Jahala - How Long, which is signed to the Armada sublabel; A State Of Trance! Last, but certainly not least, I just finnished a remix for a guy, who I'll dare to call a legend! More info about that as soon as possible. Christmas and New Year is getting closer, which means it's time for some socializing with family and friends, as well as go out clubbing. If you happened to live in Kiev in Ukraine, I'd love to welcome 2008 with you, as I'm playing at "Ukrainian Club Of The Year 2007"; Sound Planet! If you should miss that night, I'm playing in Kiev again the 1st of January - check out my schedule for more. Last but not least, I changed the concept of my Podcast. Instead of being a monthly one hour DJ mix, it's now about half an hour long, showcasing the very best of the tunes around. It won't be mixed in a traditional way, but just show you the best part of each tracks. For more, press the Podcast logo in the right of the site. I think that's all for this time. I'll try to update my site more frequently in the future - maybe that should be a promise for the new year? Anyway, have a truly amazing time, and take care! |
