About the Artist
Gareth Emery (aka GTR) is recognised the world over as one of dance music’s most established young artists. Since being tipped by Mixmag in 2002, the 24 year old has become a regular feature at infamous clubs like Godskitchen, Slinky, The Gallery and Passion in his native UK, whilst holding an international residency in Vancouver and playing all over the globe. The remainder of his time is divided between producing genre-defining club tracks under his various guises and running Five AM, one of the UK’s coolest trance record labels. Gareth first impacted on the global dance scene in 2002 with a succession of underground club hits, most notably the now legendary GTR – Mistral. Only the fourth track he had ever produced, Mistral became such an anthem for the likes of Tiesto, Paul van Dyk, Armin and Ferry Corsten that it can still be heard in clubs to this day. Moreover, it was testament to the power of the amateur producer and an inspiration to many that has since opened the floodgates for a new generation of young artists. A classically trained musician, his passion for studio work remains prolific to this day with his tracks a mainstay in the sets of the biggest DJs in the world. His production history includes collaborations with artists like Lange, Solid Globe, Jon O’Bir and CERN with releases on a multitude of labels including A State of Trance, Lost Language, Multiply, Bonzai, and of course his native Five AM. However, it’s when he’s behind the decks that the sound of Gareth Emery comes alive. His style is truly individual: a sublime blend of twisted beats and unrelenting groove that fuses trance with progressive, tribal and techno elements. Coupled with flawless technical ability and an emphasis on exclusive material and personal edits, his DJ sets are truly individual experiences that continue to set him apart from his peers. A uniquely flexible DJ, he is one of a rare breed able to read the crowd in an instant and deliver the goods at any time of night, which is why The Gallery are as happy for him to play after Judge Jules as Godskitchen are for him to warm up for Paul van Dyk. Moreover, the Gareth Emery sound appeals to followers of many styles of dance music, transcending the bitter genre politics that often dog the scene and bringing back faith that trance can be cool to even the most hardened cynics. If you haven’t already, make seeing a Gareth Emery DJ set a must for 2005. We guarantee you’ll be glad you did – see you on the dancefloor.

Product Description
Coming strongly off the back of a host of well-received singles and high-profile DJ dates in 2005, Gareth Emery aka GTR is on scorching form with Five AM’s debut foray into the mix CD arena. Like his club sets in destinations like Vancouver, Beijing, Sydney, Singapore and more, this release raises the bar for trance DJs everywhere. With every track individually re-edited and an assortment of exclusive gems from Gareth himself and his Five AM comrades, there’s no room for clichéd anthems here. Over 74 minutes, he demonstrates that his knowledge of cutting edge trance and progressive is like no other as the mix effortless cruises through an array of styles whilst never losing sight of its defining four to the floor kick. From a deep, dubby, and funky start with tracks like Descent’s ‘Stigma’ and Leama & Moor’s ‘Fact Of The Matter’, the set soon progresses into Gareth’s trademark tripped out style of electronica with the tough funk of Purple Haze’s ‘Adrenaline’ and! Russ James’s ‘Arcane’. After that, there’s no way back: it’s pure driving trance right the way to the end, with hyped new material like Gareth Emery & Jon O’Bir’s tech-trance stomper ‘Bouncebackability’ and Miikka’s ‘Sircceli’. If you’ve already experienced a Gareth Emery set first hand, you’ll already know of his mission to bring back musical integrity and credibility to the much maligned genre of trance. If you haven’t, one listen to this energy-fuelled CD is all it will take.

5 out of 5 stars This is Trance at its Best!.......2005-09-08

If you want trance at it's best, this is the the CD you want to get...
Five Am Sessions gets off to a great start. As soon as you get into Stigma, GTR leaves you thirsting for more. By the time you can say Bouncebackability, you won't know what hit you...
This is what trance and trance fans have been waiting for. You're missing out on something great if you don't get this one. Gareth Emery mixes his beats and his futuristic sounds so well. Just when you think it can't go on any longer, it does. The beats just overtake you and the hits just keep on coming...

5 out of 5 stars This is the Future of Trance!.......2005-07-09

This is one of the most exciting mix albums I've heard in a long time; it's a bold, intelligent and energetic mix that breathes new life into the genre of trance.

"Five AM Sessions, Vol.1" is a quality complilation with a futuristic sound, it manages to fuse emotional melodies and driving trance beats whilst still retaining a deep, progressive flavour throughout. The tracks are permeated with Gareth's signature key changes and deep electronic 'bleeps'; it's an intelligent and refreshing sound, and best of all, the mix has zero cheese factor!

Things start off funky and progressive, by track 3 the sensational "Fact of the Matter" by Leama & Moor really kicks in and pushes things almost into psy territory, then we get some uplifting melodies, including "Aerospace" by Locust, then a few gritter tracks and then twenty minutes of stomping trance that runs from track 8 right through to track 12...

This smashing suite is the heart and soul of the album, with Emery's centrepiece "This is New York", and Miikka's "Sircceli" pumping out so much energy that you'll be driving way too fast and thumping your steering wheel like a madman... :)

Gareth Emery is on a one man mission to restore credibility of the genre of trance, and this album is totally a step in the right direction.
