What better way to kick off a career than mixing In Trance We Trust 001? Misja Helsloot (born 21-1-1973 in Rotterdam, the Netherlands) couldn't imagine a better start, when he is asked to do the first edition of this renowned series of high quality trance mixes on Black Hole Recordings in 1998. The success of this mix compilation results in many DJ bookings. In the following years Misja travels the globe and rocks clubs and festivals from the Cocorico in Italy to the Opium Garden in Miami to The Dome in Tell Aviv and back home to major gigs such as Impulz, Trance Energy, Dance Valley and Fabulous.

Over 10 boundary-pushing years, Nic Chagall (Claus Terhoeven) and Bossi (Stefan Bossems) have evolved Cosmic Gate into one of the most creative and highly-sought-after electronic music acts in the world. Revered über-producers, their musical acumen has seen them become long-term favourites of the trance's Big 5 DJs with their 4 hugely-received albums transporting anthems like 'Body of Conflict', 'Not Enough Time', 'F.A.V.', 'Analog Feel' or the classics 'Exploration of Space' and 'Fire Wire' to the dancefloor.
