ArronaX
Mirza Aljic, also known by his stage name Arronax, is one of the youngest psytrance producers/DJs in his country. He was born on February 28, 1987, in Tuzla (Bosnia and Herzegovina).
ArronaX's first steps into the world of electronic music were made during his primary school education, together with his friend Adnan, also known as Narandza (they were 14 at that time), when he got the first synthesizer and computer.
At the very first beginning, he was certainly experimenting and learning the way of simple music software, but then he realised that music would dominate his life, so he started with serious examination of all styles and genres, mostly electronic. Inspired by The Prodigy, he fit himself into drum'n'bass. Soon after that, he confronted the style of Psy Trance. The moment when he first heard Astral Projection's "Soundform", "Mahadeva", and Shakta's "Lepton Head", was a moment of vital significance for his music career. Amazed by what he felt was the beauty and complexity of trance music, he switched to Psy/Goa Trance exploring, playing and composing on FL Studio. At the age of 15, he met Trance DJs (DJ Wedran - radio 202, Sarajevo; Skocho - Zenica), so he starts to visit their parties, and to exchange trance music experiences with them. Socializing with DJ Wedran and constant work on his music style development, resulted in promoting his first trance stuff "Travelling without movement", on Radio 202 (at the age of 17). He received many positive reactions that encouraged him to continue. Besides Radio 202, his work was also played on several other radio stations, such as Radio Kameleon, Radio MIR, Radio TK...
After successful promotion on radio stations, he applies to "Moja BIH" festival, in february 2005, which was the music festival for all genres of music, organized by EUFOR and Radio MIR. He enters the "top 50" amongst over 1000 applications, and gets a first chance to promote his artwork live. Event was scheduled for 7th May 2005, in Club Sloga, Sarajevo. ArronaX managed to enter the semi-final contest, with his stuff called "Reversed Perception", as the only trance dj/producer that night. That was the day when he met DJ Ajnspric, also from Sarajevo, and then it all began to go in an upward direction. Ajnspric started "Project-Symbiosis" together with his VJ friends(VJ Kilroy & VJ Tizzi), and planning started.
On September 22, 2005, Project-Symbiosis Label was started, and the very first release was ArronaX's album called "Dreamcatcher". It was one of the most important moments in his life, especially because it was released in Bosnia and Herzegovina, as the first psy trance album on a first trance label in his country. "Dreamcatcher" was presented all across Bosnia and Herzegovina, but also in Croatia, Slovenia, France, Italy and Serbia & Montenegro.
All sounds, sound effects, mastering and music composing on "Dreamcatcher" were made using his favorite music tool: "FL Studio", with the great help from VSTi applications: "Atmosphere Dream Synth Module" and "KORG Polysix/Legacy/Wavestation/MS20" synthesizers.
