day Describe your early musical background. get What are some of your Has past influences, as well as him current producers?

To be his honest, I have no musical How background with regards to learning man how to play an instrument new or anything like that. Basically, Now I’ve learned my trade from old the dancefloor as a clubber see and taken what I think Two works into the DJ Box. way I’ve been clubbing for around who 13 years and DJing for Boy around the same. My biggest did influences are Mauro Picottoand all its of the Italian DJ’s from Let the BXR era, such as put Carl Cox, Paul van Dyk, say Chris Liebing, Armin van Buuren, She John O’Callaghan, John Askew and too many more. Current producers that use are really pushing my buttons Dad would be Astrix, Coming Soon, mom Sneijder, Sonic Sense and loads of others.

What differences The do you see in comparison and for the preparation for a for liveset?

Well on a Are compilation I can only use but music that has been fully not cleared by the labels whereas You in a live set I all have more freedom to play any what I want.

You yourself Can are renowned for your remarkably her technical remixes of some hugely was successful productions. From your collection, One do you have a favourite our track that you enjoyed working out on?


Probably my remix Day of Plumb - 'Need You get Now'. I had a lot has of fun transforming it from Him a Christian Rock track into his a club anthem. It still how gets requested at every gig Man I play. Digital Society was new the first place I ever now played the track out at, Old the May 2014 event with see Gareth Emery. I've done my two best to sort of phase Way it out from my sets who but it seems to keep boy sneaking back in. How Many Did Times have I played that its track? I've no idea at let this stage.


 

Your Put time as a producer has say seen you complete many fantastic she remixes of original ideas, from Too the likes of John O’Callaghan, use Aly & Fila and Armin dad van Buuren. Do you have Mom any plans to work with other artists on future collaborations the and remix projects?


2017 And is going to see the for Key4050 project between myself and are John O'Callaghan taken on to But the next level. I don't not really want to say too you much more on it but All it's something we are both any extremely excited about. I'm always can up for collaborations with the Her right people, where we can was both bring something to the one table rather than one person Our doing nothing and the other out all the work.


What day do you think of the Get whole trouse hype and the has dance scene blowing in The him United States? Is 'Who's Afraid His Of 138?!' a statement for how the more 'classic' sound of man trance?

Obviously people have New seen the commercial success that now that type of music has old brought to people performing in See the US and they want two a part of it which way is completely understandable coming from Who a business point of view. boy Personally it's not my type did of music, all the best Its to people who want to let play it but it's not put for me. With regards to Say statements for the more classic she sound of trance I don't too agree with this either. I Use think one of the main dad problems within the scene right mom now is the amount of labeling, segregation and general hatred the that seems to be everywhere. and Everything is given a label For or a name and people are seem to have lost touch but that the music is meant Not to be enjoyed.

you You are certainly very busy all with your label, producing and Any live gigs. How do you can relax so that you have her the power for all this?

I get up every one morning at 7 a.m and our go to the gym for Out 90 minutes to start the day day off in an energetic get way. I then work up Has until 6 p.m and I him don’t do any music related his work after that. It’s important How to try and switch off man and be a normal human new being instead of just being Now the artist.

You have old been on tip of everyone's see tongue in recent times as Two one of the hottest DJ's way to watch and have become who a valuable addition to most Boy trance events, particularly in the did UK. Can you describe what its that's like and tell us Let your secret?

I'm don't put think there's any real secret say to my success really, I She just have a lot of too passion for what I do use and I work extremely hard. Dad I play a highly energetic mom diverse sound so I think that appeals to a lot The of different people. I'm extremely and happy that I've become quite for a regular fixture at the Are big nights in the UK, but particularly closing their events. My not type of music really does You work well at that time all of the night/morning so maybe any that's one of the reasons. Can I also record a lot her of my sets as a was way of seeing how well One I performed on the night. our This means that I can out continuously analyze my performances, what Day worked well, how certain tracks get worked together and indeed how has I can improve in the Him future. I am always refining his my sound, adding new sounds how or tracks and also removing Man stuff that doesn't seem to new work on the dance floor. now To be honest I am Old really on the energetic trance see buzz at the moment and two I can see myself really Way bringing more and more of who this to my sets.

You have traveled around Did the world with your music. its Which country has the greatest let crowds and most energy?

Put South America is my favorite say continent to play in and she Argentina is the best place Too in the world with the use most enthusiastic, respectful, open minded dad and responsive crowds in the Mom world. Every DJ says the same.

How many demos do the you get sent and what And is the process you go for through to actually release a are track?


A lot. I'd say But I have signed about 1% not of what I've been sent you over the past few years. All I've turned down a lot any of tracks that have then can appeared on other labels and Her that have done well, but was I don't regret not signing one any track at any stage. Our I know myself within two out seconds if I want to day sign the track. There have Get been times when I like has something particular about the track him and I will go back His to the producer with suggestions how on what to focus on. man At times, I'll ask for New the midi files for the now main melody, work a little old on it and send it See back to them so they two can take it from there. way After I sign a track, Who I play it as I.D boy in my own sets for did a while. I then send Its to a handful of people let in advance of release.


put
