Agnelli & Nelson

Agnelli & Nelson are a Northern Irish trance duo made up of Chris Agnelli and Robbie Nelson. They have been active since 1997 and work as writers and producers of dance music, with a catalogue that helps define trance in that period. Both members also record under several other names, including Afterburn, Cortez, Green Atlas, A&N Project and Quincey & Sonance.

Career and releases

The pair’s best-known tracks include El Nino and Everyday, both of which become genre staples. They have five UK top 30 hits and also produce numerous remixes, including work for Armin van Buuren and U2. Their output appears on labels such as Xtravaganza, Tsunami and ID&T.

Collaborations and media appearances

Agnelli & Nelson collaborate with a number of other trance and dance artists, including Matt Darey, Jon the Dentist, Scott Bond, Solar Stone and Chicane. They also appear on BBC Radio 1 six times with guest mixes.

Legal dispute

In 2006, Chris Agnelli threatens legal action against trance podcaster DJ Addison over copyright issues relating to one of the duo’s tracks. The podcast removes the song, and the dispute continues before the podcast is shut down.
