On July 25th, 2024, I had the incredible opportunity to perform as DJ Sonar Zone at Refuel 2024, one of Scotland’s most vibrant Christian music festivals in the picturesque town of Fochabers. The energy at the festival was electric, with a diverse community of believers coming together to celebrate faith, music, and life. The atmosphere was truly inspiring, and being part of such an uplifting gathering was an unforgettable experience.

During my set, I crafted a performance designed to take the audience on a sonic journey, blending high-energy electronic dance music with themes of hope and faith. It was exhilarating to see the crowd respond to the deep basslines, uplifting melodies, and spiritual messages woven into the music. The connection between the music and the audience was palpable, and we all shared in the joy of the moment, celebrating through dance and unity.

Reflecting on Refuel 2024, I am filled with gratitude for the chance to share my music and connect with so many amazing people. The festival was a powerful reminder of how music can bring us together, lift our spirits, and deepen our faith. Thank you to everyone who joined me, danced along, and made the experience so special. I look forward to future events and hope to reconnect with many of you soon.

Working with the incredible team at Reason II Rise Music has been an unforgettable journey, filled with creativity, passion, and unforgettable moments. The talent and dedication of everyone involved have truly inspired me every day.

Unfortunately, due to increasing work and family commitments, I must step down from my role. This decision was not made lightly, as being part of the birth and growth of this amazing label has been a profound honor and privilege.

I am immensely proud of all we have achieved together and excited to see the heights Reason II Rise Music will reach in the future. I have no doubt that the label will continue to flourish, breaking new ground and creating music that resonates deeply with audiences.

Thank you to everyone at Reason II Rise Music for making this experience so extraordinary. I look forward to cheering you on and witnessing the label’s continued success and evolution. The best is yet to come!

Official Statement from the Reason II Rise team

It is with a heavy heart that we announce Tim (aka Sonar Zone) has decided to step down from his role at Reason II Rise due to personal commitments that take precedence.

We want to extend our deepest gratitude to Tim, who has been with us since the very beginning in 2020. Tim has witnessed the trials and tribulations, the changes and growth of our record label. He has stood by us through the good and the bad, the ups and downs, the periods of growth and the slowdowns—through everything.

From the entire team at R2R, we want to say thank you for everything, Tim. You’ve been instrumental in shaping R2R into what it is today. We will always support your endeavors, and we are always rooting for you!

With heartfelt thanks,

The Reason II Rise Team ❤️

Hey everyone, I am slowly catching up with my blog posts so if you have read this all on social media already…please forgive me.

Here is a link to the back-to-back I played with James Will at the Reason II Rise label night in Edinburgh.

I will be posting some videos/images from this awesome night, but in the meantime please sit back and enjoy the tunes. As we were on ‘warm-up’ duties this mix is slightly different from our normal 138 uplifting trance, but I am sure you will love the track selection.
