GUY ORNADEL (UK)
Biography
Guy has defined a new model for djs to follow, that of a savvy businessman and energetic performer. He is one of the premier DJs on the circuit, a regular at the nations super clubs and a mainstay on the international circuit ! His hard work has earned him the reputation as one of the leading Trance DJs!
The story begins shortly after leaving school, Guys first job was working at a specialist record shop based in London. After a year he landed a job in the press office for Warner Brothers and Virgin where he worked for two years. At 21 he had a break and set up the DMC offices in New York.
In 1997 Guy left DMC and returned to the UK where he translated his experience into the formation of Ornadel Management , the uks bespoke dance music management agency; which has developed a strategic relationship with the International Nettwerk label. Guys management experience has encompassed working with such luminaries as Sasha, Steve Lawler, and Sander Kleinenberg. At present Guy looks after the likes of Gabriel & Dresden , Filterheadz, Motorcycle, Andain, Pete Heller, Charlie May, as well as focusing his attentions of breaking new artists such as The Dawn, Asle Bjorn, Mark Eteson. Its an old cliché but time management is the key to Guys success, a well honed balancing act of running a successful management company whilst fulfilling his own passion for DJing.
During the week my focus is all on the artists I work with, but on the weekend I get to express myself as a DJ. You can't come close to that feeling when a packed club is going crazy to a set thats running well. In fact there's nothing that can come close !
Guys addiction to DJing stemmed from building a record collection at the age of 17. He became hooked listening to pirate radio shows spending all his time hunting tracks that could only be found in a few specialist shops. Fifteen years later and hes still hooked. As well as deep progressive beats Guys trademark combo of Dutch trance and German stompers keep dance floors fast and firing, delighting the movers and shakers that fill them every time.
I like a balance in my set but Im not afraid to embrace the bigness of tunes that do it well, yet still retain good production skills
The way he anticipates and works with the crowd is well recognised when he plays. The bond between himself and the crowd is acknowledged by the energy given off as he maneuvers from one track to the next.
When a nights good, theres definitely that feeling of being connected between the DJ and the crowd. You get this feeling that wherever you take them musically theyll go with you and then as the DJ you respond to them.Thats the buzz !
As an international DJ, Guy has rocked dance floors all around the world from the main room at Cream, Ibiza to touring the clubs in Australia, Japan, Canada and America. In England Guy has regularly appeared at all the major Dance Festivals including Homelands, Gatecrasher, Creamfields and Global Gathering.
In the last few years Ive travelled a fair bit. Not as much as some due to my commitments in the week, but definitely enough to get a snap shot of the world scene. I really think through the Internet that international clubbers have had more access to music and as a result the club scene has become much more global. I really thought that each country had its own musical tastes but now I realise that clubbers are clubbers and we all share the same love of music
Although Guy was offered various residencies he decided on Passion in Coalville and Promise in Newcastle which draw a following of dedicated clubbers. "I like the fact even though these clubs weren't as well known as some of the super clubs, the atmosphere was as good as any of them". He also plays regular guest spots nationwide at Cream, Slinky, Gatecrasher and Godskitchen.
My style has always been to build my set in a curve leading to total mayhem at the end. If I've played in a club regularly I really feel a sense of trust that they know I'm going to start quite deep and then build and build. I guess I get a kick out of teasing a crowd and then hitting them over the head with a sledgehammer when the times right !
In 1999 Guy released his debut DJ mix CD which was part of the License To Thrill series. In February 2000, he released a compilation on Slinky. It was Slinkys first release, lifting Guys and the clubs great acclaim. The prestigious mixes, structure and co-ordination of tracks made the CD a must for anyone who appreciates quality dance music.
This past year has proved a busy one for Guy, with a full management roster to work, a hectic international schedule, a focus on breaking new artists, his Ministry Of Sound Radio show, oh and least we forget.....what the passions all about rocking dancefloors throughout the world!.
