Andy Blueman

Andrej Komatovič (Slovene pronunciation: [anˈdɾɛːj kɔˈmaːtɔʋitʃ]; born 4 September 1982), widely known as Andy Blueman [ˈɛːndi ˈbluːmɛn], is a Slovenian trance producer.

Until recently, Andy was producing with a variety of tools and experimenting with different styles, such as ambient/chill out, melodic, progressive and uplifting trance.

In 2007, Perceptive Recordings had launched, and Andy's first track Nyctalopia was the first release on the label, with an extra Club Mix, and remixes by Onova and Will B.

The popularity of Perceptive quickly grew with further singles including releases by Daniel Kandi and Adam Nickey.

His first E.P., Sea Tides, was released on February 23, 2009, and received hype by DJ's such as Tiësto, Ferry Corsten and Armin van Buuren.

His work has influenced the production of more orchestral trance, and more upcoming and established producers are producing their tracks with extended emotional orchestral breakdowns, including SoundLift, Arctic Moon, Nery, Aly & Fila, Ciro Visone, Aeons Of Flight, and Sara Pollino within the uplifting scene and Ralph Fritsch and Roger Shah in other trance genres.

His songs have also been voted highly by listeners of A State of Trance, which has about 15 million listeners a week: Five songs -- Time to Rest (Live Guitar by Eller van Buuren Mix),[12] Nyctalopia (Onova remix),[13] Time To Rest (Original Mix),[14] Armin van Buuren pres.

As for Trance Around the World and its 30 million listeners, two of Andrej's other tracks -- Ferry Tayle & Static Blue - L'Acrobat (Andy Blueman Remix)[8] and Adam Nickey - In Motion (Andy Blueman Remix)[7]—won the TATW web vote contest.

[19] Then, in 2015, he released an artist album on Abora Recordings of older but never-heard-before trance and chillout tracks called "Andy Blueman 2002-2005: The Beginning".
