DJ/Producer Craig Connelly has secured his place as a next big name in the EDM industry.  Emerging on to the scene in 2010 with his remix of Super8 & Tab’s ‘Empire,’ Craig has continued to produce chart-topping originals and remixes for some of the biggest names in trance, landing him several spots in the Beatport Top 10. His first original production, ‘Absolute Electric,’ gained wide support from known artists such as Armin van Buuren, Dash Berlin, John O’Callaghan, Lange and Ashley Wallbridge, as well as his biggest advocate, Gareth Emery. Subsequent originals ‘Robot Wars’ and ‘Manchester AM’ went to #1 and #7 respectively and his long awaited remix for Tritonal’s ‘Everafter’ peaked at #4 on the Beatport trance chart less than a week after its release. Now signed to Promoter Friendly Agency (PFA), Craig has elevated himself beyond the standard “up and comer” label.  You can be sure to look forward to some amazing remixes from the young producer in the near future.
