Myon & Shane 54 | Featured Artist of The Month | November

Frequently known as the mash-up gurus of the Trance scene, the Hungarian duo of Mario Egeto (Myon) and Elod Csazar (Shane 54) teamed up in 2008, debuted at #62 in the DJ Mag Top 100, and never looked back. Together they’ve put together an undeniably impressive number of hits in the past three years, including “Helpless,” “Vampire,” and their legendary Mash-Up “On a Metropolis Day.” The latter appeared on Above and Beyond’s compilation Anjunabeats Vol. 8 after roughly a year of seeing maximum playtime by the trio as well as heavyweights Markus Schulz and Armin van Buuren. They’ve done remixes for heavyweights Andain, Andy Moor, Cosmic Gate, and of course Armin himself.

In addition, they’ve formed an alliance with Aruna known as Velvetine. The Rank 1 remix of their song “Safe (Wherever You Are)” is one of the highest-praised Trance tracks, and began the Club disk of Armin’s “A State of Trance 2010″ compilation. He then went on to open virtually every DJ set that year with this version of their track, winning an unprecedented 4th #1 title in the DJ Mag Poll over David Guetta and Tiesto.The two never stop thinking of amazing combinations of other works, as evident by their more recent mas-ups “The Emergency Gift(Vampire (feat. Carrie Skipper) - EP - Myon & Shane 54)” and “Missing Turbulence,” where they combine the magical vocals of BT and Andain with club bangers to elevate the experience.

Recently the duo has been putting out incredibly powerful “Summer of Love” remixes, including for the same two artists they’ve been mashing. Their remixes of BT’s “A Million Stars” with legendary Kirsty Hirkshaw and Andain’s “Promises” are both phenomenal. With enough time and passion Myon & Shane 54 might just become the next Gabriel & Dresden.

BIO:

Myon & Shane 54 are one of the brightest stars of the so-called new generation of dance music producer / DJs.

Coming from Hungary, the duo have achieved serious success in the international dance music scene; an achievement no artist had done before from their home country. In less than 2 years after they started making music together, the pair were voted into DJMag’s Top 100 DJs at #91. They’ve been producing for the biggest names in the trance scene, are a constant fixture in their record boxes, and the combined sales of everything they’ve done way exceeds the million mark.

Their story started in 2008 when Myon & Shane 54 decided to join forces. By the end of the first year of their existence, they were already household names of the scene with a notable amount of releases and a couple of Beatport number ones behind them.

2009 saw them playing their first big, international event, their ASOT 400 opening set was listened live by millions of trance fans all around the world.
They started their radio show and podcast, International Departures right after the party. The episodes quickly became very popular, partly thanks to the unique approach of shameless mashing up, something of a trademark that has become synonymous with the Hungarian duo. Their extensive tour diary serves the backbone to the International Departures TV Show, a first person view on the life of traveling DJs.

In 2010 they released their first album International Departures Soundtracks – a collection of songs that defined the era and mood of the first season of the TV show. It includes exclusive tracks, remixes, a fine – however far from complete – view on the first 2 years of their career.

Myon & Shane 54 are well known for their different take on dance music, which definitely makes them stand out from the mostly genre-conscious DJ scene. Through the quality of their releases, they already proved that these guys are something to reckon with, and they’re here to stay providing a unique sound, that is truly theirs only.
