Beloved as “the people’s DJ”, Dave Pearce has been a fierce proponent of the world’s biggest dance records for over a decade. As the host of Radio 1’s legendary Dance Anthems show, and a stalwart of the British dance scene, Pearce has also signed and broken more dance hits than you can wave a glowstick at.
‘Trance Anthems 2008′ is arguably the be-all-and-end-all compilation for the world’s biggest dance genre. Following on from the enormous success of his Dance Anthems album series (that’s sold over 200,000 copies in the last 18 months), this 3 CD release is the perfect complement, showcasing the very best Trance anthems requested time after time by Pearce’s loyal fan base.
Something of a British institution, Pearce travels the UK and the world every week, pulling in thousands of clubbers with a gig schedule that puts many of his peers to shame. His Delirium club events, which have welcomed thousands of clubbers through its doors, are now held at the equally legendary Ministry Of Sound, and they’re a road-blocked affair for the youngest clubbers found this side of Skinds.
Ministry Of Sound is the biggest independent record label in Europe; a powerhouse for crossover and underground talent, its labels and releases dominate definitive musical snapshots of their day.
This album is the largest collection of the best trance anthems ever to his the shelves. Compiled by the man himself, ‘Trance Anthems 2008′ represents a 3 CD all-time stellar package featuring some of the biggest artists in the world; from Paul Oakenfol, Underworld, Mauro Picotto, Push and many more!
