At the age of 7, Ørjan got his first keyboard, and started to practice on it every single day for the next couple of years, but started to think this little keyboard lacked what he was looking for... And then it began...
Melodies and rhythm were increasingly becoming a more important part of Ørjan's life as he was reaching for the teen years. And one style in particular caught his attention more then anything else... TRANCE After listening to various Trance compilations from Holland, he now started to be more and more mesmerized by this unique sound which merged beautiful melodies and rhythmic patterns so beautifully. Ørjan wanted to make this as well, but with the lack of funds and the knowledge how to, stopped him from it for a couple of years.
At the age of 16, Ørjan got his first very own synthesizer, with onboard sequencer and drum machine, and from now on, things were evolving quite rapidly.
He learned how to set up drums, basslines, melodies, strings and chords on his synth and then also how making music really worked.
After a year, he learned how making music on a pc worked, and what magic that was contained in a small grey box...
Evolving in his productions year after year, Ørjan now decided to take things a step further and bought more equipment to make his tunes reach another level
At the end of 2004, Ørjan had made several unofficial remixes and a couple of own productions, that got the attention of trance minded people in the trance.nu community. His tunes were now played in radio stations and clubs all over the world, but nothing was, as of yet, signed by any label. It was in the summer of 2005 things started to take a new turn, when his remix of 'Virunga - Simbabwe (Dj Governor's Progmix)' was played on Playground by Danjo & Styles and then a bit later Yanave on his show
'Retinal Insight'! People now started to show more and more interest in the works of Ørjan, wondering on 'who is this guy?'
This gave Ørjan more and more confidence, and gave him inspiration to keep working on his own tunes! Then, in September 2005, Ørjan made 'Red Woods', which blew away the minds of his friends and fellow producers, and now, finally, it seemed like Ørjans breakthrough, and indeed it was...
Since then Orjan has released a big amount of dancefloor smartbombs like f.ex Arctic Globe which went straight into the number one spot at the Dutch Dance Charts. His tunes are played all over the world both live and broadcasted by the worlds biggest DJs such as Armin van Buuren, Tiësto, Paul van Dyk, Ferry Corsten
and so on and so on.
Orjan is currently taking gigs all over the world and his music career is developing rapidly, all though the DJ Governor moniker is at rest.
So keep an eye out, cause wherever you are in the world, the sounds of this young Norwegian DJ and producer will not escape you, and quite frankly, would you want it to..?

Orjan Nilsen Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Que muero en el naufragio de tus ojos
Que tiñes de color mis días mas grises
Que siembras en mi almohada sueños locos.
Me quedo con las ganas de decirte
Que no concibo el mundo si te marchas
Que pierdo los papeles por seguirte
Con las ganas me quedo no lo niego
De que me amaras como yo quisiera
Con todas las ventanas bien abiertas
Con todos los sentidos bien despiertos.
Me quedo con las ganas de decirte
Que te he buscado por todos los mapas
Que todos los proyectos son factibles
Que me alimenta el pan de tu mirada.
Me quedo con las ganas de decirte
Que traicioné mi credo por tus besos
Que por tu risa supe qué es posible
Que por tu llanto sé que no hay remedio.
Con las ganas me quedo no lo niego
De que me amaras como yo quisiera
Con todas las ventanas bien abiertas
Con todos los sentidos bien despiertos.
The song "PhireWorX" by Orjan Nilsen is in Spanish, and the lyrics are about unrequited love. The singer of the song is desperately in love with someone who doesn't reciprocate their feelings. They long to tell this person how much they mean to them and what they would do for them, but they can't summon the courage to speak up.
The lyrics use a lot of imagery to convey the depth of the singer's feelings. For example, the line "muero en el naufragio de tus ojos" (I die in the shipwreck of your eyes) suggests that the singer feels overwhelmed and helpless in the face of the person they love. Similarly, the line "que tiñes de color mis días más grises" (you color my grayest days) implies that the person brings joy and brightness into the singer's life.
Despite their unrequited love, the singer can't help but hope for a happy ending. They dream of a future where the person loves them in return and their lives are intertwined. Overall, the song is a bittersweet ode to love and desire that is both raw and relatable.

Ørjan Nilsen must be my favourite producer to this date. Mainly because he manages to have so much diversity in his production i think. Its a joy listen to his new songs. And as many of you probably have read on facebook, he's a person who seeks out new ways. Making something different every time.

I also remember hearing Armin say, "You don't wanna eat steak every day, sometimes you crave fish or even a salad."
@freetyla07
As someone who is fairly new to the scene, I think that the general direction in which trance is moving is great. I like all this new stuff, the house/electro influenced stuff. I can also appreciate the 'older' stuff, which is too quite amazing. The thing about music is, though, that you can put on an old CD and listen to the classics when you want to, as well as enjoy the new stuff?! Who would have thought that you can enjoy all forms of trance at any time..
@wearfansdeath
