With his prog trance classic airtight (2001) which was nominated for a juno award in canada. His monster 80s hit owner of a lonely heart (2005) and his diverse artist album radio (2010) graham has shown time and again that he has a knack for melody, for drive and for emotion.first noticed by paul oakenfold and nick warren, then quickly snapped up by hope recordings, graham was well on his way.In 2001 he mixed the fourth installment of the legendary transport series and won highest new entry in the djmag poll with #23.in 2004 he released a prog/electro smash called crank that was a beatport #1 as well as an emotional dance track entitled i know youre gone with vocalist jessica riddle. 2005 saw the release of a cheeky bootleg of owner of a lonely heart that went top 10 on the uk pop charts.graham has now evolved into a tastemaker in his own right with his labels shinemusic and re*brand which have both partnered up with powerhouse dutch label armada. Through these labels graham has reached the entire planet with his brand of energetic and emotional dance music.Grahams first solo album radio was released in 2010 on the strength of the monster vocal hits sun in the winter and nothing else matters that, after ten years of producing, showed that the man still has what it takes to get people moving and feeling through music.

Primarily a weekly two hour radio show the first double cd came out in 2008, the second in 2010 and the third in fall 2011.

He plays a signature brand of dance music that, while containing primarily trance and progressive, is by no means closed to great music from all genres. His sets have rocked over 65 countries in his illustrious career and show no signs of slowing downgraham is never one to stick to a single style of easily marketable music but rather follows his own path of finding great tracks from so many different genres. At one of his sets or on his radio show youll hear house, trance, progressive and even techno but if you let go and trust youll have the night of your life.
