Blank And Jones

The Nightfly is the second single from the Blank and Jones album DJ Culture. Two of the most famous and most photogenic european DJs / producers / remixers, Blank and Jones have become quite the celebrities on the European continent and in the trance scene. Besides their many television and club appearances over the course of the past year, they've performed at the annual Love Parade held in Berlin, and also extensively in Ibiza during the summer party season.

Besides working on their own studio projects, they've also found the time to do remixes for artists such as Moby, Bellini, Future Breeze, Sash, Dario G, Yello, Dune, Syntone, Basic Connection, Mauro Picotto, Storm and Liquid Love. Their signature creamy, rich and smooth progressive trance sound is highly sought after by DJs and artists alike.

The Nightfly is pure progressive trance like only Blank and Jones can turn out. Expansive, uplifting and energetic, this track is a club pleaser, driving dancefloors wild. It is an experience in and of itself. With the help of remixes by DJ Jean (known for his hit single The Launch), this single promises to be very successful.

"We started working as DJs at a time when a DJ was still a freak and not cool at all. The enjoyment in the music was the main thing for the DJ then. With the album title we want to give the listeners our conception of a DJ: a DJ is someone who plays records and wants to party with people. In the 90's, the DJ has gradually become a very powerful man who can make many important decisions all at once because he has been given another role over the years. The 90's were the start of DJ culture and this is continuing in the new millenium. Everything to do with the DJ, which includes club culture, club wear and party flyers, i.e. practically everything that sums up night life, is so exciting that we wanted to deal with this theme on our album."
- Blank and Jones on the way they conceive themselves as DJs.

"We are pursuing several goals with DJ Culture. Because our DJ name is on the album we thought it was important that the CD would be a typical Blank & Jones DJ team set. Despite the success of our first (european release only) album In Da Mix, most of the buyers know us mainly as DJs. And with DJ Culture, they should get exactly what they expect of a DJ set from us. The album has therefore been remixed and there are not only three up-tempo hits with the rest of the tracks being chill-out album fillers. No, the whole album is full of tracks which we play in the evening because we want to enable our fans to take the authentic Blank & Jones feeling home with them. We also want to comment on our musical development and expand our range. In addition to several electro tracks and the EBM-style Waste Your Youth, Nightfly Reprise bears the classic hallmarks of contemporary British breaktrance."
- Blank and Jones on the album DJ Culture.

Born in Frankfurt am Main in 1971, Piet Blank learned piano, saxophone and drums as a teenager and decided to earn his living with music. After giving up his music studies after only one semester, he went on to study business economics "so that record companies and the like would be interested". To finance his studies, Piet worked at a record store and as a DJ in various clubs in Frankfurt. His passion for electronic dance music was initially sparked during his long stay in New York. During the day he worked in a trendy record store on Bleeker Street and in the evenings he would play Frankfurt trance in warehouses down by the docks. Back in Cologne, Piet became the regular Party Service DJ at Eins Live Radio and can still be heard there every Saturday from 8pm - 5am.

Rene Runge aka Jaspa Jones was born in 1968 in Monchengladbach on the Lower Rhein. He also knew very early on that he wanted to earn a living with music. When the first big techno wave came in 1989, Rene was the resident DJ in the legendary Dusseldorf club Ratinger Hof and made sure that Techno was heard. He supported his positions as a Techno pioneer with various other club residencies.

In 1993, Rene produced his first record on Tall 2XLC's label Suck Me Plasma under the pseudonym Jaspa Jones. Since then, he has recorded under that name for numerous major labels and has done remixes for RMB, Taucher, U96, and NBG, just to name a few. He has also constructed his own recording studio - the Spacedust Studio in Dusseldorf, Germany where all Blank and Jones productions are created.
