The Entranced

Doenja Clerkx a.k.a. The Entranced & Summer Sun Dance is a trance & dance producer from The Netherlands, who sometimes performs her own vocals. Her music is a mix of melodic vocal trance, eurotrance, pop trance, dance and eurodance. Influences for her music are melodic & anthem trance artists like Rank 1, 4 Strings and Gareth Emery, but also pop trance / eurodance acts like Milk Inc., Kate Ryan and Lasgo. As a kid she always wanted to become an artist, but not in music, in painting! However, growing up in the home country of Armin van Buuren, Tiësto and Ferry Corsten has had its effect on her: she loved trance music so much, that she got Music Maker to make trance instead of paintings. But soon she got bored of making music with samples, she wanted to write her own songs! A few months later she got the first idea for a song: the synth lead for Live Your Dream. Because she kept getting more ideas for this song and other songs, she got better software: Cubase. She released her first E.P. “Live Your Dream/ Total Confusion/Losing You” in 2010. Later on her vocals from this EP were sampled on releases by Xian [Pulsar Recordings], and several other artists. She released her first album Trance & Dance in 2020. She's now working on a new album: Happy Dance, Pop Trance & Eurodance. Doenja's songs sometimes include her own vocals, but also vocals by Kate Lesing, Lokka Vox, Danny Claire and several others.
