2004 was the year the two old friends Andreas and Denis decided to hit the studio together and have some fun. After a couple of days the first tune was made and they were really happy with the result of it. They now decided to make some more tunes together and this is when "Gaudium" was borne.
Gaudium is the Latin word for satisfaction and that's basically what music should be in their ears.
Both Andreas and Denis has been involved in several music projects before they decided to start producing together. Andreas is one half of the legendary project trance[]control which was one of the most popular projects at mp3.com with over 16 million downloads and sometimes up to 16 000 download per day. trance[]control resulted in an album release with an US label that sold over
20 000 copies in just north America. They were simply HUGE.
In the end of 2004 Swedish label Spiral Trax heard a track by Gaudium that really caught their attention. That track was the start of making an album. The album "Nordic Nature" was released during the summer 2005 and received great reviews by fans and critics all over the world, some claiming it as the best progressive release of the year.
Over a one year period after the album release a very productive time followed with new tracks and releases on labels like Flow, Plusquam, Sinn-Tech and Yellow Sunshine Explosion. Also remixes on artists like Ace Ventura, Sensifeel, Visua and Symphonix were made.
The music Gaudium creats can be described as progressive psy trance with flavours of both house and techno that attracts an audience that are used to the sounds of Spiral Trax, Iboga and Digital Structures as well as the crowd that are more familiar to harder progressive house in the style of Marc O’Tool and Krüger & Coyle.
After the sad news and lost of Spiraltrax label group in 2006 Gaudium went back in the studio focusing not to go down with the ship. A new album started to take form and a record deal with the highly respected Danish label Iboga was made.
Gaudium is a name you will hear a lot from in the future. New remixes, performances around the world and fresh material produced for the second album will be presented. Stay tuned and make sure not to miss any of it :)
