Profil: DJane Akbal (Turobo Trance Rec. / Amsterdam, Netherlands)

Born in 1976 in Amsterdam.
I started playing music at the age of 3, playing several instruments, writing and studying classical music and at the age of 15 I formed part in a rock-band. In between 1994 and the early months in 1997 formed part of ‘'Acid productions'', a company that throws techno-events. Than in February 1997 I went to my first psychedelic trance party and this day I knew I wanted to start playing music. One day later I bought my first vinyls. A few months later I moved to the ELF-building, a famous squad in the city of Amsterdam where 150 artists, musicians and dj's lived in a community and every week-end we threw a 24-hour party, in which all new art and music was presented. In between April 1997 and May 1998 I played in Amsterdam in clubs like: Trance Buddha, Time, ELF and various coffee-shops. The summer of 1998 I spent on Ibiza where I played at many of the well-known outdoor-raves. In between November 1998 and August 1999 I forfilled gigs in London, Germany, Spain, Amsterdam and France. In September 1999 I went to the United States for one year where I played at several parties and festivals in Los Angeles, San Francisco and several spots in the desert of California (for example Burning Man 1999). The summer of 2000 went back for another season in Ibiza, combined with gigs in Spain and Portugal. In November 2000 I went to Mexico where I played for 5 years all over the republic (Mexico City, Veracruz, Guadalajara, Tampico, Cancun, Merida, Palenque, Puerto Escondido, Acapulco, Mazatlan, Monterrey, Los Mochis, Morelia, Nuevo Leon, Xalapa, Culiacan, Cuernavaca, Puebla, Toluca, etc.). As well in these years I played a gig in Guatemala.

Since August 2005 back in Amsterdam. Ever since being back I had gigs in Amsterdam and Germany (Shiva Moon) and bookings ahead in Germany, Portugal, Swiss and England.

At the moment I am preparing my live-act.
