Sequentia Website

Sequentia is a trance music production duo formed by Daniel Garczyk (Far & Away) from Germany and Mark Hoogkamer (Spiral Motion) from The Netherlands.
The story of Sequentia is one of friendship and a shared love for electronic dance music. Before Daniel (Aachen, Germany, 22 years old) and Mark (Rotterdam, The Netherlands, 23 years old) met they both started producing trance music using FL Studio. After a few years the two solo projects, respectfully Far & Away and Spiral Motion, began to take off. The guys heard each others tunes in DJ sets and started to chat and exchange music files in order to improve their skills.

After much success together the Sequentia project became the guys’ number one priority, resulting in various singles played by all the top jocks around the globe. Sequentia proved to be a much wanted remix act as well, with takes on singles by Lost Witness and Jan Johnston to name a few. They had quite successful moments with “Kaleidoscope”, the release of “Eclipse” on Enhanced Recordings, “Higher State / Sun Worship” (an E.P. on Dark Noize Recordings), the Sequentia Remix of “Forgotten Freedom” by Moonforce & Mark Versluis and let’s not forget their remix of Adam Nickey’s “Never Gone” for their favourite label Anjunabeats. Still, chasing after world fame is not the guys’ intention at all. Sequentia is about making music that touches people, and as long as people keep playing their singles and remixes, it’s all worth it which proves that their passion for producing dreamy uplifting trance music transcends any current fashion.
