Banshee Worx was founded in May 2003 some 2 months after the ending of Lightning Records which was the company that took care for the Bonzai brand and imprint since 1992 until early March 2003. Now things changed and Banshee Worx was formed by Fly (owner and founder of the Bonzai trademark), Marnik (former International and A & R from Lightning Records) and 2 artist/producer/dj’s who were also part of the Lightning Records artist roster, namely: Yves Deruyter (Belgium’s finest DJ) and Laurent Véronnez (aka Airwave) (one of the biggest upcoming talents for the next years to come!!!).

So, nothing much has changed, a new entity has been formed and the same driving forces behind the succes of the Bonzai imprint will continue to serve the universe with the greatest trance music with artists like Airwave, Yves Deruyter, Push, Plastic Boy, Quadran, Lolo, DJ Fire, Fire & Ice, Solar Factor, Cape Town, Philippe Van Mullem , ... and many new ones to come.

Almost 3 years have passed since the launch of Banshee Worx and we are still expanding, dedicated and secure, our little group of labels and artists. With the continuously descending physical music market we have been devoting a lot of time in developing our on-line activities. Not only do we keep a weekly updated webstore running (including customized soundcarriers) but also launched the Bonzai Digital Network, where we offer all cd- and vinylreleases + digital only releases for digital download at fair rates both via our own downloadshop powered by Audio Jelly and a range if digital download partners including the number one worldwide downloadshop iTunes Music Store, Beatport, ID & T Dance-Tunes, Track It Down, Deeep.Net, ...

In addition to support the wide range of labels we handle, with an average of 6 to 8 physical releases a month and additionally all releases in digital format + exclusive digital only releases, we have created the iPOOL, a dedicated website that delivers both promotional music and the iPool Supreme Membership that delivers music via a unique podcast link.

What would the use be of all these investments without……NEW ARTISTS ! Since the company start we have signed a bunch of new and old talents such as, DJ Elof, Vincent Kriek, Jamez, Vlad Dzyatko, Will Holland, Rob Styles & DJ Danjo aka PRIMER, Solid Slide, Björn Small, Armandi, Liquified, Sunquest, Reminisence, NIB, Antidote, Ljungqvist, Soldout, Daddy, Latigidi, ... Undoubtfully this list is incomplete and unfinished taken in consideration the amount of good stuff that’s rocketed our direction.

And the story continues ...
