With 15 years as a DJ/Producer, Bodo Kaiser has been involved as a big part to expand the swiss trance scene with his own events. He has a big passion and his innovative and creative to bring some of the most recognised names together in a country that has been considered as dead for Trance.

Bodo Kaiser has made an impact in the Polish and German club scene with his official rework of Mr.Philipps – 7th Day (I will be there) with his former name Invincible which has reached the trackitdown sales charts on #8 within 3 days in 2010 and was placed on several compilations worldwide.

2 Years later in 2012 he teamed up with US singer and songwriter Sheri Pedigo for Caravan that has also reached #25 on the trackitdown Sales Chart. In the same year he got huge recommendations with the release of Beautiful Day that has been the first release after his real name Bodo Kaiser and reached Top10 at the Beatport Trance Charts. With a special announcement by Abercrombie & Fitch that has chosen the tune as they're theme to open their new flagship in HongKong.

Not only noticed on the Asian Market, Bodo Kaiser`s career has gained also success with his`unique live sets, touring in Austria, Germany, Italy and also started his residency in one of the Hottest venues in Poland.

After a small creative break spending years in the Studio, Bodo Kaiser returned in 2015 not only with his first Mix Compilation together with 4 Strings for the Event label Tranceformers but also a rework on his own tune Beautiful Day has been created in a Hard Trance rework by S.H.O.K.K.

With this again he accomplished to bring some of he most rising talents together and made his first collaboration with Dutch legend Ron van den Beuken in 2016, Rising Flute has reached Number 5 at the Beatport Sales Chart in September 2016.

2017 has become an unstoppable Year for the Swiss Talent, with his first EP released on Freegrant Music he not only manage to reach the Beatport Top 10 again but also he received support by Above & Beyond, JES, Shane54, MYON and many more. The EP also has found several nr1 positions for the 2017 Best of Charts.

For his contribution to support other producers he collaborated the same year with the southern Swiss Talent Koray and released the more darker tune Borderline on the UK Label Tangled Audio, which has found support again by Giuseppe Ottaviani, John Askew. Next his single Vimana reached number 15 on Beatport.

The first week of 2018  Borderline and Vimana have reached the beatport Top100 again. Followed by the Vimana (Remixes) in Mai 2018 that hit the Top20 on Beatport. In Sep 2018 Bodo has joined forces with Swiss Legend DJ Indian for the first EP on Joyride Progressive and then  for Bariuz on Alter Ego Records.



2019 has been fantastic year of great releases and collaborations on Jan 28th with the longtime friend S.H.O.K.K. that has reached the Beatport Top10 right away. The single End Game has also followed 4 weeks later with an amazing progressive remix by Darkmind & Desire.

9 more releases appear on great labels such as AVA Recordings (Black Hole), We Are Trance, Extrema Global Music, Entrancing Music. In October the music video for his single with Ron van den Beuken and Kim Kiona was released that has been shot in the Lovely City of Amsterdam.

Corrie Theron grew up in a small town in South Africa. Music and melody has always been a part of his life growing up, being of a family who loves their music. Always fiddling with radios and electronic music devices, he never thought that one day he would be sitting in front of a PC and electronic hardware making his own music.

2008 saw him getting more and more interested in Uplifting Trance music production after having spent years passionately supporting the South African and international Trance scene. As with all things, skills needed to be honed and it took no less than 4 years to get his first 2012 single, "Lantern" released on Chameleon Muzik. The inspiration that came with this release quickly escalated into "Taking Off" and two remixes for Chameleon Muzik.

As his skills improved Corrie was soon finding himself more inspired than ever and challenged himself to producing even better music. Unexpectedly, his next release was picked up in 2013 by none other than the legendary Camouflage Recordings. Now with several releases on WeAreTrance recordings and releases on various labels such as Redux Recordings, Magic Island Elevate, Trance Allstars Records and Above All Recordings, showcasing different styles, this producer keeps growing and is enjoying support from some of the big names in the business, having won the No Borders Remix competition for none other than the legendary M.I.K.E Push.

When behind the decks, Corrie's style and music choice is unmistakable. With his love for progressive opening music right through to his first love of Uplifting Trance you can always expect a few lovely surprises in his sets from unreleased own productions to unheard gems. Currently enjoying residency at the WeAreTrance Clubnights and South Africa's nr. 1 awarded nightclub Truth, he has played alongside artists such as RAM, Allen Watts, Protoculture, Pierre Pienaar, Roger Shah, Giuseppe Ottaviani, Ciaran McAuley and Arctic Moon. Expect his name on more big line-ups in the next years.




Dimitris: Your biggest music career achievements in 2019:
Corrie Theron: I signed with Roger Shah for Magic Island 9 compilation.

Up next on We Are Trance we welcome Egera to the label with his track 'No Sun On The Horizon'.

A delightfully dark trancer combined with rolling bassline and groovy percussion will have you craving for more when this record ends.

We asked Stephane Badey to put his touch to this awesome track and the result is pure power!

This package is a must have for any main room DJ.

Dimitri Kechagias review: The beloved record label We Are Trance is back with Egera and No Sun On The Horizon. The original mix is a modern neo progressive trancer with electro infused basslines, pounding drum arrangement and superb atmospheric breakdown followed a darker moody epic and truly anthemic climax that will make the difference for sure. For those who play the mainstage trance sound this version will drive their audience mad. Stephane Badey delivers an intresting hybrid of psy tech trance with excellent application of the original melodies, synths and euphoric colorful plucks with a very straight forward uplifting climax that will please the true trance fans worldwide. #PureGold Love It

Label founder Dirkie Coetzee teams up with Redux Recordings label boss Rene Ablaze to bring you 'Amsterdam to Pretoria'.

Dirkie's mix leans more towards the progressive side of trance. Tight rolling bass with tech stabs and beautifully composed break is what you can expect from this mix.

Rene's mix leans more towards the conventional uplifting trance sounds we all fell in love with and enjoy. 

We invited Mitex to put his touch on the track and the result is pure tech energy! 



Dimitri Kechagias review: On the newly established record label We Are Trance appears the collaboration of the well known trance dj, producer and label owner Rene Ablaze with the label owner Dirkie Coetzee from South Africa. The track has the obvious title Amsterdam to Pretoria with a package that will satisfy the whole spectrum of trance the scene. First of all Dirkie Coetzee remix is massive big room mainstage style trancer with techy grooves, thumping basslines and excellent application of the big anthemic melodies. The climax will move even mountains and also the statue of liberty in New York. Rene is trance master when it comes to uplifting trance and nobody knows this style better than him so you can expect a powerful pure trance anthem with big rolling basslines, pounding drums and superb breakdown with orchestral classical music influences that lead to the full on pure trance feelgood climax. Mitex offers the third alternative with aggressive basslines, metallic pounding drums, psy tech trance infusiions and breakdown with great anthemic melodies while the climax starts more bass focused and slowly moves to the final uplifting section. #PureGold Love It

Memento is a beautifully composed uplifting masterpiece that is sure to send shivers down your spine more than once when listening to this track.





Dimitri Kechagias review: The brand new upcoming and quickly rising to the top label We Are Trance presents the brand new uplifting trance beauty by Frank Dattilo called Memento. If you appreciate the values of feel good euphoric uplifting trance then don't hesitate to taste and drop in your uplifting trance set such a strong production. Memento has anthemic sound and feel with tough pounding drums, metallic energetic basslines and most importantly very emotional breakdown with classical music influences, opera style vocals and huge main synthy hook that is introduced after a cool cd skipping like effect that will make many worry that something goes wrong with the record but actually adds some energy and keeps the record in constant motion. The climax is epic anthemic euphoric feel good trance with floating synths and superb cinematic atmosphere that will transcend the audience to a higher level. Straight forward uplifting trance banger as it should be done, Proper pure uplifting trance at its best on the cool label We Are Trance! Love It

We are excited to present the remixes of the We Are Trance title track by Dirkie Coetzee & Misja Helsloot.

Ikerya Project who is known for his releases on the worlds top uplifting labels shows why he is in such high demand as a remixer with this powerful & melodic uplifting remix.  

Niels Alexander is a fairly new name in the world of trance but with releases on labels such as Armada could we not resist but ask him to put his magical touch on this track. The result is pure power!





Dimitri Kechagias review: The exceptional  trancer We Are Trance by Dirkie Coetzee & Misja Helsloot that celebrates the birth of We Are Trance records strikes back with 2 additional remixes to extend your pleasure even more. First of all Ikerya Project transforms the original into a full on euphoric uplifting trancer with banging beats, bouncy energetic basslines and fantastic electronic riffs along with the various synthy layers. Straight to the point uplifting trancer as we love this music style to be in its purest form without infusions or brand new elements. He takes advantage of the very strong original euphoric theme and from their builds the track into a magnificent floating magic carpet that carries your mind and soul away to magic worlds. Niels Alexander offers his services and he delivers his wonderful warm balearic progressive trancer with deep bubbly warm basslines, chunky kicks, euphoric synthy plucks and great work done in the breakdown with very strong piano theme followed by huge rave style distorted synthy riff that will drive the track to its hands in the air climax that will please and increase adrenaline levels to the maximum. Two quality remixes not to be missed! #PureGold Love it

Dimitri Kechagias review: The brand new label We Are Trance headed by Dirkie Coetzee delivers the 2nd release that is an amazing new anthem courtesy of the ever reliable Fortuna & Casus featuring the spoken vocal by Elina Milan. The original mix is a wonderful energetic progressive meets uplifting trancer with brilliant drive, energy and pure dynamism that shines on the dancefloor as it moves with the speed of light. The breakdown is characterised from the spoken vocal sample that gives the tone and elevates the track to the next level and make it sound very unique and spacious. The climax is pure clean trance power without experiments and infusions. The remix courtesy of Ruslan Radriges is fantastic example of uplifting vocal trance at its very finest best. Superb bouncy kick, pulsating driving bassline and the massive epic euphoric synths will blow your mind for sure. Magical dreamy breakdown allows the vocal to shine and send the message followed by the massive full on euphoric hands in the air colorful shiver giving climax. Two top remixes that prove how strong is the trance community at the moment! We Are Trance! Love iT

We Are Trance label founder Dirkie Coetzee teams up with Dutch titan, Misja Helsloot to bring you the aptly titled track 'We Are Trance'.

The modern elements within this production are perfectly combined with a beautifully composed cinematic styled break that explodes into a powerful square lead that is sure to rock crowds the world over.

We are confident this track will become the one to reach for when you need to uplift the mood in the room you perform in.






Dimitri Kechagias review: When the very talented South African producer Dirkie Coetzee meets the Dutch trance master hero Misja Helsloot you know that the track will be clean, innocent and pure trance. We Are Trance is not only the title of the track but also the name of the new label that Dirkie brought to the trance community in order to release amazing anthems like this one. Solid energetic groove, driving basslines, cool melodies and fantastic melodic breakdown with orchestral music theme that uplift your spirit and transfer your senses to far away magical places and spaces. Suddenly the classical influenced strings disappear and the huge colourful classic trance epic synthy appears to bring goosebumps and shivers all over your body. The climax is pure and straight forward with massive euphoric synths and heavenly trancy voices. Hands in the air material with retro touches that will make you think that you are somewhere in 2007 rather than in 2014! Trance is back cause We Are Trance! Love iT
