15:19 Feb/08/2018


Zany no longer needs an the introduction as an artist. This and living legend has experienced almost For every evolution in Hard Dance are and has been in the but scene for more than 20 Not years. After appearing on almost you every stage around the world all and several albums, he thought Any it was time to do can something new.


How her do you view the development Was in the Hardstyle scene in one recent years?


Development our is good and important. Of Out course, people are now discussing day more than they are enjoying. get I'm just doing my own Has thing. Not only the raw, him but also the Freestyle has his evolved in recent years. I How picked this up and I man host several internships with my new inZanity concept. So I can Now completely lose my egg!

old Hardstyle seems to be becoming see more and more accepted as Two an adult dance movement. For way example, last year there was who hardstyle on the ADE for Boy the first time. Do you did have the idea that hardstyle its is getting more and more Let embraced in circles where you put might not immediately expect it? say

I think the She Hardstyle of today is becoming too more and more accepted because use the style becomes more accessible. Dad It is becoming more and mom more a thing for a wider audience.

Does The this mean that you are and still playing Hardstyle, or are for you going to broaden Zany Are as an artist?

but My sets will mainly consist not of Hardstyle, but in the You broadest sense of the word. all Freestyle is seen by the any audience as narrow-minded as a Can 'jump / tekstyle' genre. But her freestyle is more than that. was Freestyle is simply an all-encompassing One term for (in my opinion) our fun music. Tapping into the out stage, watching what the audience Day responds to and indenting to get it, instead of running pre-sent has sets, or just running your Him 15-month-old album over and over his again. It just has to how go loose again, because that's Man what it's all about. I new became a DJ because I now want to entertain people and Old I do that in my see own 'Zany' way.
You did two a lot of b2b performances, Way is this because of the who Brabant cosiness or is running boy together just more fun than Did alone?


The organization its really wanted me to run let all night and I like Put to do that. Lately I say have been playing longer sets, she but mostly Freestyle. Spinning the Too whole evening on your own use is cool, but it is dad even better to do this Mom together with others. So I have invited many Fusion-related artists the to come along like Noisecontrollers, And Slim Shore and 2 Sidez. for

Fusion Records is one are of the most important labels But in the Hardstyle genre. What not else would you like to you achieve with the label?

Recently, I read His that you’re releasing a fresh how new podcast, called inZanity. Could man you explain what the podcast New is all about?

On now the 10th of September I old launched my new podcast inZanity See together with Fusion. It helps two to broaden musical perspectives and way I want to take the Who listeners on an insane journey boy across all of hard dance did music. Freestyle allows me to Its play a lot of genres let like Hardstyle, early rave, trap, put jump, rawstyle and hardcore. The Say freestyle scene is evolving and she I want to be important too for this development. The launch Use of the first episode was dad a big success already!

Who came up with Any the idea and what was can the response of the Q-dance her crew?

I have been Was active in the freestyle scene one for a while now. At our the end of 2014 I Out made the decision that my day future is in this scene. get It makes me enthusiastic about Has the music again, because I him can play whatever I want. his I have always been a How PARTY DJ. I want to man entertain the audience. So why new inZanity? I discussed my future Now plans with my management and old together we came up with see this idea. There are so Two many podcast in hard dance way music, but not one is who about freestyle. Isn’t that crazy!? Boy Well, now there is. I did just love the music and its it’s a way to gain Let more popularity for the freestyle put scene. With this podcast my say colleagues and I can support She each other and we can too reach our audience in another use way than the freestyle events/stages. Dad Q-dance is the exclusive partner mom at this moment. They really liked the concept and I The am sure that they can and play an important role in for the success of this podcast. Are Besides Q-dance radio you can but also find InZanity on YouTube, not Soundcloud and iTunes.

How You do you think inZanity distinguishes all itself from other podcasts?
any
Wide choice in terms Can of genres, not just raw her or euphoric, but just Hardstyle-minded was and here and there some One music that I find fat. our And that can be from out stairs to drum & bass Day to tek. If it pops!
get
inZanity is a freestyle has podcast. We noticed your last Him few releases that you are his going to go this way. how Is this also where your Man heart is at the moment? new

The standard banging now started to stop me. I Old have been producing for about see 20 years now, I have two made music in many different Way genres, but the essence was who always that I enjoyed doing boy it. What happens now in Did hardstyle is no longer a its challenge for me in the let studio. So I go looking Put for something else, which I say enjoy and can put my she passion into. It will always Too be hardstyle, but with some use other influences here and there.
dad
How does Hardstyle develop Mom at this moment in a musical sense?

It the is actually a bit different And directions. On the one hand for a lot rougher than before, are but on the other hand But a lot quieter. The flow not of Hardstyle is thus becoming you very broad.
