DJ Shog Biographie

DJ Shog was born in Hamburg, Germany in 1976. In the middle of the nineties
he began to develop his interest for electronic music and deejaying. After
the usual first steps at school- and private-parties DJ Shog entered
several DJ-Contests, which took him to his first residency jobs in the
north of Germany.

His breakthrough into the world's music scene came with the start of his
own double-cd compilation-series "Technics-DJ-Set". Therefore one CD was
mixed by himself and the other one by well-known guests like Cosmic Gate,
Dumonde, Talla 2XLC, Green Court and many others.

The 14th edition of this series now offers something completely new. Both
cds are mixed by DJ Shog himself. The reason for this lies in his two-faced
musical creativity. The "DJ Shog face" shows the more mainstream orientated
trance/hardtrance sound while the "2Faces face" goes more into a
progressive trance direction.

Back in summer 2004 the mix-cd "Trance Visions" already showed these two
faces. With CD1 he presented the so called Main-Floor and with CD2 the
Trance-Floor.

For his single "Running Water" an official 2Faces mix was released for the
first time, which was made to be an alternative to the more mainstream
original. And this idea seemed to be great. The original mix became a real
top seller in Germany and the 2Faces mix went right into the cases of some
major players like Paul van Dyk or DJ Tiesto.

Besides the 2Faces mix of "Kindervater Sternenweg 5", which also got as
much international dj-plays, another mix for Paul van Dyks Vandit Rec. will
see the light during the next days (Kuffdam&Plant Dreammakers).

The man behind DJ Shog Sven Greiner is involved and leading in many other
projects. Together with the E-Cutz team he has made three anthems for
Nature One, the biggest German open-air dance event (Summer Sound System
2002, Alive&Kickin 2003 and The Golden 10 2004).

Beside others he is also responsible for the new started project "Dream
Dance Alliance", which will produce the anthems for the most successful and
senior Dream Dance compilations. The first tunes "Bells of Heaven" and
"Ayers Rock" already became true club anthems.

DJ Shog is a demanded remixer as well and so he became a solid part of the
dance-scene through his work for DJ Sammy, Cappella, CJ Stone, Three
Drives, AYU, DJ Tatana, Ian van Dahl, Lasgo, Ernesto vs. Bastian and
Filo&Peri. But what really made him big in the scene were his countless
gigs at the big events and festivals like Nature One, Streetparade, Love
Parade, G-Move, Energy, Nautilus, Goliath, MDR Sputnik Turntabledays and
Airbeat One. There DJ Shog had proven true international standard. There he
had spun his international network. And that's the reason he is now always
on the run to present his sound to the people around the globe.

In the middle of 2005 restless Sven Greiner set up his own imprint called
7th Sense Records. This label is now the platform for his own productions
with producer companions and also in the near future for releases of
talented newcomers.

Under the significant title "My Sound" the long awaited DJ Shog debut album
was released in the beginning of 2006. The teaser-single "Jelousy" was a
download single release only for the first time and is only available on
the album and on the "Technics-DJ-Set 14" compilation also.
