Man of the moment and arguably production Australia’s biggest hit of 2009 Mr ‘Time Wave Zero’ Ummet Ozcan touches down on Australian soil for the first time. Never one to disappoint and gaining nothing but more and more respect every time he visits Melbourne David Forbes returns alongside right now the hottest vocalist in all things trance, melodic and forward thing electronic dance music joins the Freefall fraternity and featuring on a Melbourne line-up consecutively for the double debut!. :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: ? UMMET OZCAN (HOL) (MAINROOM) :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: Easily one of the most talented and hard working producing Dj’s from The Lowlands. Ummet Ozcan was born in 1982 in the centre of Holland. At the age of 14, inspired by both Eastern and Western cultures (his parents are from Turkey), he starts to experiment with making music in his little home studio. Laying the foundation for his successful productions in the years to come. From his very first one, Ummet forged an energetic, ground-breaking style for dance -- a dense rhythmic pattern of samples and heavy drum loops , often with a repetitive chanted chorus forming the only vocals. From his relatively humble beginnings producing simple but infectious dance tunes to his more recent sophisticated Club Tech Floor fillers, he has crafted some of the most innovative yet accessible electronic music. In 2001, Ummet released the import only ‘Pump this Party‘ after a collaboration with The Sunclub (Fiësta, Summerjam 2003), a single that despite its limited release, earned Ummet first credits in global dance music. Here Ummet’s DJ career begins with playing house music and techno at local parties. Gaining a lot of respect playing his unreleased stuff he decides to professionalize his ambitions by putting more efforts in getting record deals . This results in a nowadays global recognition of his producing and Dj talent. For instance the single ‘Chica good’ (2006/Adult Records) dominated the world dance charts (both download and sales) for quite a long time. Showing up in many famous Dj shortlists like Marco V, John Digweed and others. ‘Natural Waves’ recorded as Ummet Ozcan and issued at the beginning of 2007 via the label Work Hard Play Hard, has proven to be a global Dj favourite. One of the latest successes comes with the release of ‘Time wave Zero’. Without a doubt The biggest trance record of the moment. Ummet Ozcan makes his debut on DOORN Records (Label of Sander v Doorn) early 2009 with an instant classic that gets support from all the big jocks. Next to this, the record was one of the biggest highlights of Trance Energy 2009. This track will undoubtedly make Ummet's star rise to the place where it belongs. On the frontlines of TechTrance. :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: ?
