Passion – 7th May 2005

In association with M8 Magazine

Into May, Passion continued to shape the future of Trance with another exciting line-up featuring some of the scene’s most promising and established artists.

Making his UK debut at Passion, Misja Helsloot arrived as one of Holland’s best-loved and best-kept secrets. Having played at some of Europe’s biggest events alongside the likes of Tiësto, Armin van Buuren and Paul van Dyk, he brought his unique style of uplifting Trance to The Emporium for the first time.

Matt Darey returned to The Emporium as part of his Decade Album Tour, featuring exclusive visuals, giveaways and more. A true pioneer of Trance production, Matt has created and remixed some of the genre’s most iconic tracks over the years.

Sophie Sugar represented the next generation of Trance talent. After winning The Gallery DJ Competition and gaining huge support for her debut track “Call of Tomorrow” from some of the world’s biggest DJs, she was already becoming one of the scene’s most exciting new names.

Passion resident and promoter Andy Bagguley completed the line-up, while visual wizard VJ Steve G delivered cutting-edge graphics and visuals throughout the night.

With M8 Magazine heavily involved, guests were encouraged to dress to impress and be ready for the cameras!
