BI4A
It was the hard rock sounds of Metallica and Nirvana, which first got Bi4a (read as "Bitcha") into the world of music. He has become a big-time music fan, but only to switch his attention to the world of electronic music around 1996. At that time bands like Fatboy Slim and Prodigy were dominating the dance scene, and Bi4a immediately came interested in what is happening around the EDM industry. Aged only 15, he learned how to mix tunes down together with a help of various software products, and by 2002 he hand already delivered a few live performances at Salamandra. Bi4a's canny way of mixing, and artistic approach to track selection brought him great success, and he quickly got his first booking - the two "Trance For Mass" events, held in Riga. Residencies at Salamandra, Pulse and Tonuss followed, while often making appearances at various open-air events around the country.His big break came in 2004, when Bi4a participated in a series of Tonuss club-organized parties, being in charge of the "Trance Hall", which put him in a spotlight of the Latvian dance scene. Meanwhile he also had an opportunity to play in Finland , as well as with such Finnish names as Jussi Soro, and Sergei Shkuroff, Jonas Hahmo, Matti Kotala, Super 8 & Dj Tab. In summer 2006 Bi4a managed to get a place for him at Sun Dance Music Festival - The Biggest Festival in Estonia, that lasts 3 days long! At the same time, he developed a highly active life apart from just DJing - he became one of the founders of tranceAddict, which has quickly established itself as a well-known community around the Baltics. His immediately recognizable style, floating from soft progressive and melodic trance to some harder edged tunes, is turning more and more attention from the club promoters and party organizers and by the mid-2005 Bi4a found himself participating in every single trance party around Latvia. His performances - both musically intriguing and technically brilliant - earned him "The Best Trance DJ in Latvia" title. Himself he never agrees on that, but it's the audience, who makes the choice, and Bi4a is a strong favorite among those, who knows what quality DJing is about. In September 2006 he started his own successful radio show called "Baltic Global" that airs on Pure.Fm radio station every 1st and 3rd Wednesday of the month. Show lasts 2 hours and consist of 2 parts - 1st hour mix by Bi4a himself and second hour is left for the guestmix.
