UltraSun Biography
Ultrasun Biography Still fresh to the dance scene, UltraSun have fast become favourites. Purveyors of a new style of uplifting vocal trance, the Melbourne duo have already made their mark on the charts, with a string of live performances and remixes to their name. Far from the manufactured trance act cliché, UltraSun have a wealth of skill and experience behind their popularity. Combining inspired songwriting and solid production techniques with the dynamics of live vocals, the pair’s approach to music has won them broad appeal on a global level, and a reputation for both accessibility and integrity. Comprised of guitarist/ singer/ songwriter, Katie Michaelson, and DJ/ producer, Christos, UltraSun were signed to Ministry of Sound in late 2002, their first single ‘Love Me More’ making a promising debut on Australia’s dance charts. The release, which includes remixes by German producer, DJ Tom, and Sheltershed’s Wil Foster (US), debuted at Number 12 on the ARIA dance charts, Number 2 in Sanity’s Dance Arena and reached Number 4 at Central Station Records. The single enjoyed radio play all over the country, was included on Clubber’s Guide to Ibiza 2002 and found a place amongst Oakenfold and Armin van Buuren on the Ministry of Sound 2003 Annual, mixed by none other than UltraSun ‘Love Me More’ paved the way for club performances, bringing the unique element of live vox to make for shows of world-class standard. With Katie singing and Christos manning the laptop and keys, the pair have performed at Heat for NOVA 100 FM, the Dome’s White Party at QBH, and supported Ferry Corsten and Tall Paul on Ministry of Sound’s Annual 2003 Tour. They’ve also proven en vouge with the next generation of clubbers, appearing live on national TV for Channel [V]’s cult program, Room 208. With over five years’ worth of experience as a singer and songwriter, Katie’s credentials merely hint at her vocal dexterity, which must be witnessed live to be truly appreciated. Complementary to this is Christos’ technical prowess, his classical music training manifest in expert production, with tracks remixed for Supafly (‘Erotic City’), DJ Panos (‘Lover’) and Iio (‘At the End’). Christos continues to remix under the UltraSun guise, and is currently working on remixes for Central Station and UK label All Around the World. The next thing for UltraSun is the release of follow-up single, ‘We Can Runaway’, another choice pairing of killer vox and spot-on production. The single includes remixes by Voodoo & Serano (UK), our own Alex K, a highly anticipated Christos Club Mix and a bonus remix by Sonic State (USA) of ‘Love Me More’. Plus, to show off Katie’s amazing voice, the release will also feature an acoustic version, a timely addition for the European summer. Something to watch out for is the videoclip that accompanies the single. Created by 11 of the best up-and-coming animators, it makes for a visual component as impressive as the track itself. All-in-all, UltraSun have made a firm foundation for their continued rise through the dance scene, with each successive performance, remix and release affirming their status as a hot new commodity.
