Super8 & Tab - Biography

Leading the charge of the Nordic trance revolution are meet Finland’s Miika Eloranta & Janne Mansnerus… better know respectively as Super8 & Tab. Up until 2005 Miika & Janne were busy pursuing their own individually successful recording careers, but after a chance meeting resulted in the hugely successful collaboration projects 'First Aid' and 'Helsinki Scorchin' the prolific partnership was born.

Alongside the ever-present melodic bias of their music, Super8 & Tab fuse their productions with unique and edgy sounds and vocals. This style has marked them out as forward-thinking originators and pushed them to the front of the breaking trance pack, with the list of DJs supporting their tracks reading like the veritable ‘who’s who’ of the turntable-spinning elite; release in, release out, Tiësto, Armin van Buuren, PVD, Above & Beyond & Ferry Corsten regularly smash their tracks club-side and on the radio.
Super8 & Tab have become an integral part of the Anjunabeats label and release schedule since the initial success of 'First Aid', 'Helsinki Scorchin' (Top 20 Tune of 2006 in DJ Magazine) and 'Won't Sleep Tonight'. They dropped the vocal anthem 'Needs to Feel' in early 2007 which featured heavily on radio and leading compilation brands as it grew into one of the year's underground anthems. 'Suru' proved to be a more than worthy follow-up, picked out by DJ Magazine as “the tent-pole release of Anjuna’s summer”, while their first collaboration, the 'Worldwide' single with fellow Anjuna-ite Mark Pledger, received similar critical acclaim, as did their debut compilation CD 'Anjunabeats Worldwide Vol 1' which prompted DJ Magazine to ask "when did trance get this darn good again?" and landing 'Compilation Of The Month' in Mixmag plus a nomination for 'Best Album Of 2007' at the IDMA Awards.

2008 saw Super8 & Tab further cement their position as one of the hottest production outfits on the planet with their 'Elektra' single topping buzz and sales charts and becoming one the summer's biggest festival anthems, while the follow-up 'Delusion' reached the same dizzy heights. On the remix front they added their magic touch to Bart Claessen & Dave Schiemann 'Madness', Luminary 'Amsterdam' and Martin Roth 'Off The World' with similar devastating effect. Super8 & Tab saw in 2009 flying high on the back of their remix of Paul van Dyk 'New York City' and haven't looked back since, remixing the equally massive Ferry Corsten 'Made Of Love' and Paul van Dyk 'Nothing But You', while also scaling the singles charts with their much hyped new single 'Irufushi' elevating this talented duo into the realms of the trance elite.

Aside from their studio work, Super8 & Tab have wasted no time in personally taking their music to the people in a busy tour schedule that sees them performing DJ sets at leading around the globe, including Gallery / Ministry of Sound, Godskitchen and Inside Out in the UK, European brands such as Mayday and A State Of Trance alongside their own Hallmark residency in Finland, plus Anjunabeats Worldwide Tours. Recently they've completed the Future Music Festival tour of Australia and have regular dates in the USA, South America and Asia.

Super8 & Tab are currently finishing their debut artist album, scheduled at time of writing for release in Spring 2010.
