A jetlag is a physiological condition which is a consequence of alterations to the circadian rhythm, like resulting from transmeridian travel as on a jetplane.

In other words, a jetlag occurs when traveling, when entering new timezones, new countries, and new continents. That’s what Shane – DJ, producer and founder of the label Jetlag Digital – decided to do after more than a decade of spinning his unique style of progressive house within Europe.

Driven by the urge to see the whole world and to experience all the different musical influences from across the globe, Shane first went to Asia in 2005 to play in all the major clubs in China, Hong Kong or Thailand. Next was the United States of America, where he flew in early 2008 for yet another club-tour.

Traveling, djing, experiencing whole new sides of culture and music, extending our views and breaking down the boundaries of the ordinary – because we think that seeing one small part of the globe is just not enough. As an open-minded part of the world’s music community, we don’t want to limit ourselves to a local scene. We like to see the bigger picture, and we like to share this with you. Out of all these views and experiences the idea for Jetlag Digital finally emerged.

Today, Jetlag Digital is run by Shane and his friend and partner Hyline, who joined the label a short time after its formation. Hyline is a DJ and producer himself, and brings in all his experience from various projects like Mannover or his radioshows Adult Music & Advanced Views on Friskyradio.

Jetlag Digital shall be an innovative music label, bringing together all the globe’s different styles of music – digitally, and faster than ever. No matter from which part of the world, all our artists styles and special influences can be enjoyed on our label; A truly international experience, like living within a never-ending digital jetlag.

No Smoking Recordings was founded by Tarkan Ors (aka DJ Tarkan) and Vasilis Sagonas (aka V-Sag) in March 2005. The label, which is the first collaboration between a Turkish and a Greek producer, uplifts the deep, tribal and progressive house scene. They have initiated a campaign for the understanding of the music “as is”, giving people the opportunity to discover the true meaning of music, as many of us prefer only having “chemically enhanced fun” instead of choosing what the music’s pure form can provide.

Why NO SMOKING recordings?

Not only as DJ’s but also as just one within the crowd, they have been always enjoying music without limits, expressing their love while dancing and listening carefully to every single bassdrum. By choosing only quality music, they invite people to follow the way of “NO SMOKING” life, saving their health and helping their bodies by proving that they can understand and feel all of it’s physical power.

Even if some of your friends do not accept that you are changing your life by leaving smoking and chemical influences behind, remember that they may resent you or be frightened by your quitting. You will never be alone if you choose a healthy way of living, your family and friends will be proud of you instead.
