But let's go step by step through his work.
Radio shows:
Pedro Del Mar runs two own radio shows on Germany's leading and most important dance radio station "Sunshine Live". After spinning regularly at the stations prime time shows for years he developed together with his brother DJ Shah the concept of a show called "Melomania". Just a few weeks later in 2001 the show started and gained big applause.
After more than one year at the afternoon prime time from 6-8pm, the station had no other possibility than moving the show from afternoon to evening and renewed it from a two to a four hours show.
"Melomania" is today one of the most successful and influencing dance radio shows in Germany. DJs and companies from UK, Belgium, Spain, Italy, USA, Canada, Australia, The Netherlands, Germany, Poland, Japan and the rest of the world are watching the playlists.
But also his second show at the same station has a mass appeal. Each Wednesday from 10-12pm he runs the show "Global Mix" where he broadcastes the world's leading DJs, e.g. Judge Jules, Tiesto, Armin Van Buuren, Marco V, Lange, Timo Maas, Mauro Picotto, DJ Sammy, Paul Oakenfold and a lot more.
Both shows are very unique what made Pedro Del Mar as well as DJ Shah both being a Top 5 radio DJ in Germany.
Productions and Remixes:
Pedro Del Mar is able to look back to releases in more than 60 countries world-wide with the main focus on his solo singles.
His single "Harder?!" has been released in more than 50 countries, from UK to South Africa, from Japan to Australia, from Canada to Mexico and the whole Europe. Next to global top dance charts positions "Harder?!" also entered the UK Sales Charts. The track has been released on the best labels, like Black Hole (NL), Zomba (UK), Jive (DK), Dos Or Die (GER), JVC Victor (JAP) or Vale (ESP). The success of the track started with a release on the own label "Club Traxx ! Rec." which has got hold by Judge Jules himself!
But together with DJ Shah and Ole Van Bohm he doesn not only produce stuff under his name, but has various other projects signed to major companies!
It was just a question of time until international major companies ask them doing Remixes for leading acts like Armin Van Buuren, Cosmic Gate, Three Drives, Dark Monks, Future Breeze or Hemstock & Jennings.
In summer 2003 Pedro Del Mar and DJ Shah are mixing a huge compilation for the US market as well as the one or the other own compilation in Germany.
Own company:
Pedro Del Mar also runs an own record company called "Shah-Music". Behind this name you'll find a publishing company, four different labels, a production company, a promotion and booking agency and a lot more.
Started with just one label in 1995 the company was growing and growing and is nowadays one of Germany's leading independant record companies with about two releases per month.
Their main acts are Hemstock & Jennings, Yoji Biomehanika, DJ Shah, DJ T-Kay, Pedro Del Mar and productions of popular producers such as Marc Van Linden or DJ Sakin.
Releases on their labels Shah-Records, Club Traxx ! Rec. and Melo Stripes have been played by Ferry Corsten, Judge Jules, Alex Gold, Dave Pearce, Cosmic Gate, Scot Project and many many more. The high quality of Shah-Music tracks brought the company partners in about 60 countries world-wide.
Disarm Yourself
Pedro Del Mar Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And all you used to chain
It always ends
And you keep on running backwards
Keep on chasing your own demons
So don't waste another hour
And let me in
Disarm yourself
Release the fear
Disarm yourself
And hold me near
Disarm yourself
Release the fear
Disarm yourself
And hold me near
And now
Give yourself to me
Give yourself to me
Give yourself to me
Ooh
Disarm yourself
Release the fear
Disarm yourself
And hold me near
And now...
Don't you miss yourself
And all you used to chain
It always ends
Look to other people turning
While you're hiding in the shadow
So don't run away in silence
Let me in...
Disarm yourself
Release the fear
Disarm yourself
And hold me near
Disarm yourself
Release the fear
Disarm yourself
And hold me near
And now...
Give yourself to me
Give yourself to me
Give yourself to me
Ooh
Disarm yourself
Release the fear
Disarm yourself
And hold me near
And now
The lyrics of Pedro Del Mar's song "Disarm Yourself" speak to the idea of self-discovery, facing one's fears, and embracing vulnerability in order to find true connection with others. The repeated line "Don't you miss yourself and all you used to chain, it always ends" suggests that the singer has lost touch with their true self and the essence of who they once were. Perhaps they have been hiding behind walls or masks, not allowing themselves to fully experience and express their emotions.
The lyrics then imply that the singer is caught in a cycle of running away from their own inner demons instead of confronting and disarming them. This is illustrated through the lines "Keep on running backwards, keep on chasing your own demons." By doing so, they are wasting time and are unable to make genuine connections with others. The plea to "let me in" can be interpreted as a call for vulnerability and allowing someone else to be part of their journey.
The repeated chorus "Disarm yourself, release the fear, and hold me near" emphasizes the importance of letting go of fear and guarding oneself in order to truly connect with others. It suggests that by disarming themselves emotionally and opening up, they can find comfort and support in the arms of another person. The line "Give yourself to me" further reinforces the need for surrender and vulnerability.
Overall, "Disarm Yourself" encourages listeners to confront their fears and break free from self-imposed limitations. It asks them to let go of their defensive barriers, embrace vulnerability, and allow others to be part of their journey of self-discovery and emotional growth.
Line by Line Meaning
Don't you miss yourself
Do you not long for your true self and the person you used to be?
And all you used to chain
And all the restrictions and limitations you imposed on yourself in the past
It always ends
These self-imposed restrictions always come to an end
And you keep on running backwards
Yet you continue to retreat and move away from progress
Keep on chasing your own demons
Persistently pursuing your inner fears and insecurities
So don't waste another hour
Therefore, do not squander any more time
And let me in
Instead, allow me to enter your life and support you
Disarm yourself
Let go of your defenses and barriers
Release the fear
Free yourself from the grip of fear
And hold me near
Embrace my presence and find comfort in it
Give yourself to me
Surrender yourself to my guidance and support
And now
At this very moment
Look to other people turning
Observe how others are changing and transforming
While you're hiding in the shadow
While you choose to remain concealed and fearful
So don't run away in silence
Therefore, do not escape without addressing the issues silently
Let me in...
Allow me to be a part of your life and offer support

@TrancePuerceMai
Beautiful tune, I like tracks made by Pedro Del Mar. Great Upload, Lisa:)
@JohnnyJonify
I love this song, it's so beautiful. While listening, however I noticed a distinctly familiar quality. I know I'm nuts but isn't this a trance version of the opening theme of Falcon Crest(1981-1990) composed by Bill Conti? To me, the most it can be heard in is season 6, but the notes are in all 11. Tell me I'm sane! And listen both masterpieces first.
