Below you will find short biographies of the DJs.
Aina Burano (Poland)
She is the birthday girl of TranCentral, Anna Bogalecka, born in 1989 started showing an interest for music when she was 14 years old. The passion and love for Trance music were the result of listening to the famous radio di.fm but it’s only in 2005 that she started to look at this music from a DJ’s perspective. She had a first contact with the hardware in her hometown and then in clubs like Mega, Elipson and Silver. But after a year she realized that she can’t play commercial music and it’s impossible to change the mentality of clubbers in a moment. She wanted to play what she loves so she stopped using the hardware and started to play on the computer. Her radio show “Pole Trance Session” is the consequence of practicing her talent at home and the fact that she could get a big number of listeners on internet. This show is played on 2 radios and got the support of known DJs like Sean Tyas, Purple Mood and Leon Bolier, and others like Ronny K, Danilo Ercole and Johnny Rizk. As ambition was increasing and skills were getting better, Anna added to her successes a participation at an event of Afterhours.fm (Uplifting Day), 1 production and 2 remixes.
