2. Omnia is an electronic dance music producer, his track Stick in monday was featured in the Trance Mix Mission Podcast.
Man behind it all, is Evgeny Smirnov. Born in 1987, he would grow up with a diverse taste in music, loving and exploring the beauty of different genres. In the 90’s, he turned his passion for EDM into a hobby and started toying around with producing programs. After discovering trance music, Evgeny knew which path to follow and started developing his sound into this direction.
At the end of 2006, when Evgeny was only 20 years old, he concentrated on creating his own, quality tracks and saw big names like Armin van Buuren, Markus Schulz and Above & Beyond play his tracks and remixes on the radio and during gigs. Remixes on ‘Ørjan Nilsen – La Guitarra’ and ‘Armin van Buuren feat. Jacqueline Govaert – Never Say Never’ put Omnia’s name on the map.

Omnia Lyrics

***repeat***
Un, Deux, Trois, Quatre
(one, two, three, four)
The song Tine Bealtaine by the Dutch pagan folk band, Omnia, has enigmatic lyrics that celebrate the ancient Celtic festival of Beltane, which marks the beginning of summer. Tine Bealtaine refers to the "Beltane Fire" that was lit during this festival, and the repetition of this phrase reinforces the significance and history of this ritual. The lyrics invoke a sense of pagan spirituality, with the imagery of the fire symbolizing the transformative power of nature, and the idea of unity and community.
The repeated French count-in of "Un, Deux, Trois, Quatre" adds to the ethereal and mysterious tone of the song while setting a rhythm for the listener to follow. This draws attention to the communal aspect of this celebration, where people are encouraged to dance, revel and celebrate the beginning of summer. The juxtaposition of Irish and French elements reflects the eclectic and multicultural nature of the festival.
