Motion was formed in 2003 by friends Andy Dennett, Mark Lowes and Chris Trevethan with the aim of signing the finest trance music by up and coming producers and releasing them on vinyl with remixes by established producers. The trio quickly pressed a limited edition test press vinyl release of Imbudo 'Novaja' backed with a remix by Rusch & Murray, but due to a number of reasons the vinyl never received a full release. Motion then signed 'Mr Blue' by Usual Suspect and commissioned a massive remix by The Thrillseekers, which was licensed to the Scott Bond - Ahead, A Trip In Trance 3 and The Thrillseekers - Nightmusic Volume 1 compilation albums. MOTN001 was a phenomenal success and set the high standard that Motion would constantly attain on its subsequent releases.

Motion went from strength to strength with its next three vinyl releases. Echano's 'Nothing To Live For' was remixed by Gareth Emery and was licensed to the A Trip In Trance 3 compilation album, Mike Shiver Presents Madeira's 'Solaris' was remixed by Anjunabeats artist Smith & Pledger and was licensed to the Alex M.O.R.P.H. DJ mix on Trance Nation 20 and DJ Koris - Pure Power Volume 2 compilation albums, and Locust's 'Aerospace' was remixed by Probspot and was licensed to the Gareth Emery DJ mix on the Five AM Sessions Volume 1 and the Armin van Buuren – A State Of Trance 2005 compilation albums.

By 2006, Motion had signed a series of incredible releases and entered into a collaboration with Electronica Exposed to exclusively manage all future Motion releases. Unfortunately, this collaboration was short lived as Tuned Distribution Ltd. who distributed Motion and Slow Motion closed without paying for the sales on SMOTN001. This meant that MOTN005 was distributed directly by Electronica Exposed, but this was unsustainable and Motion could not secure a suitable distribution agreement with any other company.

However, MOTN005 was an absolutely massive release that featured Gareth Emery & Mike Dedross Present Wirefly 'The Verdict' with a banging remix by Octagen and was licensed to the Talla 2XLC - Techno Club Next compilation album. The management of Motion and Slow Motion was then returned completely to Andy Dennett, Mark Lowes and Chris Trevethan who continued to release amazing music on CD and digital download by Dréas, Mike Perry, Greg Downey, Octagen, Hydroid, T4L, Vadim Soloviev, Marcie, Genix, Mike Foyle, Ketho Featuring Michael Calderone, Yamin, Airtight, Andy Duguid, Alex Robert, Ken Ya & Fast Distance, Danilo Ercole, TyDi, Element One and Heatbeat on Motion, and Marris, JPL, Thomas Penton and Funabashi on Slow Motion! Motion closed in 2009.

"RECOMMENDED! Motion's second release is in a dream-trance vein with two mixes to choose between. The original is one of those tracks that meanders its way through some choice sounds and leaves you feeling tranquil, whereas the Gareth Emery Remix takes things up a gear on a fighting-fit floorfiller ideal for hot summer nights. 5/5."

01.2005 - Review By Tim Stark In DJ Magazine
"Motion's third release finds them joining forces with Mike Shiver, and drawing in Smith & Pledger on the remix. Mike's original version is a serviceable, if somewhat unremarkable trance record. The opening element melodies are nice and drum up a reasonable degree of pathos against a backing reminiscent of David Forbes 'Questions'. The key riff is a squally, pitching thing, which attempts but only partially succeeds in pushing 'Solaris' in the euphoric direction. Smith & Pledger wisely opt to keep their mix on the melodic edge. The pair fire things off with a looped, chopped version of the main riff. They then back it up with some techy effects, which while initially sounding out of place actually become very hooky. The end result is another quality piece of engineering and one that will only advance their reputation. 3/5."

"Fans of uplifting trance should be getting their hard-earned ready to purchase this release as it features two stonkin' mixes. The original is laidback and has an eastern European flavour, while the Smith & Pledger Remix is more punchy with a nifty electro bassline and clever use of compression to keep the sounds in order. 4/5."

"Smith & Pledger moisten our guesset with a remix that transforms 'Solaris' into a trancer reminiscent of the Solar Stone classic 'Solar Coaster'."

10-23.05.2006 - Review By Tim Stark In DJ Magazine
"Appearing on comps as long ago as 2004 without an actual release is perhaps not the most optimistic sign for a track. In retrospect, however, despite not being a club-hopping monster, 'The Verdict' has plenty to recommend it. The full-bodied bottom end is well produced and shows all the hallmarks of one of Gaz Emery's spit-and-polish jobs. Meanwhile, at the dressing end of the track, the synth and hissing effects are all working overtime. It's not the most expansive of productions but, in terms of atmosphere points, it scores a ten. By comparison, Octagen's mix starts out a bit deeper and takes just a touch too long to build up steam. The break comes flat-packed and the subsequent lift out of the drop just doesn't quite have the energy it needs. For the original, though, good stuff indeed. 4/5."
