Majera

Born October 13, 1988 in Melbourne, Australia, Engin Ogutveren has always been passionate about music. By the age of eight he was playing the guitar, after which the keyboard naturally followed. As music strongly dominated his life, his passion for dance music took over and soon he realized that Dj-ing and music production is his chosen career. Majera’s first steps in the studio began at the tender age of 14, by 17 he was signed to Solarstone’s very own ‘deep blue recordings’. ‘Velvet sun’ received remix duties from trance heavy weights Aly & Fila, the record received massive support across the globe from acts such as Armin Van Buuren, Paul Van Dyk, Super8 & Tab, Aly & Fila, Sean Tyas, Manuel Le Saux and was voted top 150 trance tunes of 2007. Currently, Majera is working feverishly on several progressive and trance productions. His melodies are consistently haunting, deep and beautiful, a mixture of gentle rhythms and natural sounds, which may well prove to be his signature trademark. His follow up productions’ once again took the interest of ‘Solaris recordings’ owner, Solarstone with the ‘Believe EP’ featured on numerous compilations and receiving heavy support by such notable trance artists as Solarstone, Aly & Fila, Marcus Schossow, Mike Shiver, Airwave, Thrillseekers, Robert Gitelman and other leading top jocks. Solarstone’s growing love for Majera’s work lead to the man himself requesting a Majera remix of Solarstone’s very own ‘Solarscoaster’ which is due for a release in 2010. Other studio work includes ‘Playground’ signed to Miami based record label ‘Addictive Global’ including a Ronski Speed pres. Sun Decade Remix.
