Guest Mix: Magnus (Pharmacy / USA).This month's special guest is Magnus, a previous 'Rush Hour' guest and trance prodigy from Seattle who has several releases under his belt on Christopher Lawrence's label Pharmacy Music.A Maryland native, Magnus has called Seattle, Washington home for the past 9 years. He got his start in 2002 by playing out around the area at club events and parties under the DJ name of "Magnus". Magnus has had several releases on Pharmacy, JOOF, and Audacious in addition to tracks appearing on CD compilations by Ministry of Sound and Moist Music. Also producing frequently under his "Michael Lee" alias, he has seen releases on Discover with his tracks supported by Aly and Fila, Sean Tyas, and John Askew. Magnus has an upcoming Michael Lee release on Discover entitled Everblue with a remix by Adam Foley. His greatest accomplishment to date was winning the Sean Tyas Melbourne remix competition in 2009.Magnus's style is somewhat of a crossover between trance and psytrance, incorporating characteristics of each into his music. His style uses grindy, acidic synths and basslines that forge together to produce an energetic and uplifting sound. His tracks have been played and supported around the world by Christopher Lawrence and John Fleming. With several releases on both Pharmacy and JOOF coming in the months ahead, 2010 will be a big year for Magnus. Slated for release very soon are tracks Forward Command, The Memory, Final Resolve, and First Born.
