Marcel Klauß (Labelowner & Producer of Hyper Reality Records)
”Just had a listen to Resurrection. Very nice German Hard Trance! Keep em coming.”
"Resurrection is going to be ”Track Of The Week" in the next episode (Thu 5.11.) of the Hyper Reality Radio Show on DI.FM."
Justin Wakefield (from Beatbucket and GT Digital alias German Trance Digital label)
”Spain's Xavi BCN joins forces with Finland's DJ Meke here for a very encouraging hard trance track loving the uplifting breakdown and the melody. I could listen to stuff like this all day long.”
Loukas "Louk" Pour-Hashemi review:
"Good, modern hard trance is really hard to find of late, and we love
it when there is something that comes out of nowhere that surprises
us. There only seems to be labels like Hyper Reality and Atmosphere
Recordings UK that are really impressing us in that regard over the
past few years. That's why the new collaboration from Spain's Hard
Trance hero Xavi BCN and Finland's Meke really impressed us.
'Resurrection' keeps the vibe of older hard trance material from the
early 2000s and features a rip roaring melody and one heck of a
fierce kick and bassline. Add to that a gorgeous breakdown, and
kicking back in with loads of energy made this one go straight into
our record boxes."
BIO:
Always having been deeply in love with all things of hard sounds, Meke has been widely known in Finland since he started djing year 1999 as one of these few DJs remaining faithful to the roots of rave music. Arguably the best old school rave DJ in the country, Meke always played a lot of true hard trance classics and 90´s rave sound in his sets, giving people a lovely glimpse of the music which started it all. That does not mean though that Meke is just an old beard, stuck in the past. Constantly evolving along with dance music, this extremely talented DJ not only skillfully combines hard trance, industrial / EBM and hard dance, Meke is also responsible for bringing makina to Finland, being only one spinner in the country playing this exciting Spanish form of hard trance. Not just a DJ, he has also done several hard dance tracks with producers like Horzi and SamHard bringing his own ideas to the hard music scene. So you can be sure, Meke will definitely not leave you unsatisfied.
Meke is holding long term residencies at Force and Battle Royale nights, being part of Dancewise / S|deffect roster. He also hosted monthly show at famous Digitally Imported radio (DI.fm) during 2006 - 2009. From time to time, he continues to making new mixtapes to DI.fm.
Over the past number of years, Meke have appeared djing at many of the largest hard dance events all over the Finland, including Säde, Tidy: Finland, Storm: Finland, Future Energy Festival, Fury, Innowation, Force, Madwave, Finrg, House Of Hard Music, Mindcore and once playing in Flashback event in Poland, alongside acts such as Proteus, Zatox, Evil Activities, Atmozfears, Dune, Adam Lab 4, Karim, Eryk Orpheus, Enduser, Lee Haslam, Amber D, Phil Reynolds, Jimmy Dean, Garbo and Carbon Based to mention a few.
So if you are up to hard vibes - Meke will deliver!
