Orjan Nilsen

Orjan Nilsen, born14June 1982 in Kirkenes, Norway, is a Norwegian trance and progressive producer-DJ. At the age of 7, Nilsen got his first keyboard, and started to practice on it frequently for the next couple of years and at the age of 16, Nilsen got his first very own synthesizer. At the end of 2004, Nilsen had made several unofficial remixes and a couple of own productions, that got the attention of the trance community. His tracks began to be played on radio stations and clubs all over the world, though nothing was signed by any label.

In 2006 Nilsen has released his first signed vinyl – "Arctic Globe / Prison Break" on Intuition Recordings. "Arctic Globe" was voted #1 on the Dutch Dance Charts at that time. Since then, he has released a handful of prime level tracks including La Guitarra, Lovers Lane, GO FAST! and others. Nilsen is currently taking gigs all over the world and his music career is developing rapidly, although the DJ Governor moniker is at rest.

In recent years, he has been impressing audiences across the trance community with his take on what a 21st-century DJ and producer should be. Born in 1982 in the Norwegian town of Kirkenes, Ørjan had very little doubt about his career path, having listened to countless CD compilations, and witnessing well known producers DJing, Ørjan concluded that the DJ booth would be his domain one day.
