Biography I am Alternate High aka Michael Schwarze, born 1983 in Hoyerswerda just outside of Dresden, Germany and are now residing in the centre of Dresden. My love for trance started around 1996 where Ferry Corsten, Alphazone and DJ Space Raven been a few of inspirational artists along the way of my musical journey. After finishing education for my current job making concrete in 2001, I started to play around with my first DAW called Protraxx. After a few years changing to REASON, I began to make trance and hands-up tracks, but with a simple quality, mainly for the fun of it. In 2012 I started using Cubase and will never go back to anything else. Cubase is such a great program to create music in. In 2014 I uploaded my first tracks to a German website called UPTRAX where people could listen and download for free. This is where my path started to shape. My first release with a label was with Trancer Recordings, “Time to Remember” and from there I started to release with labels like Massive Trance, Sundance Recordings, Verse Recordings and many more. This last year or so I tried out the more energetic side of trance and has lead me to understand more styles within the genre and how to fuse them and make better remixes. Now I am at a place in my career where I feel I am finally getting recognized for my music on a broader perspective, which is important because my goal was and always will be to inspire and motivate other people with my melodies.
